<span>The answer is price. The price of a good conveys about its
relative scarcity or abundancy. If the price is high, the good is scare meaning
you can gain money by selling extra of it, and you can save money by buying a
lesser amount of it. If you act according to your self-interest, selling more
and buying less of that costly good, the scarcity of that good will be toned-down.
If the price of a good is low, you can exhilarated to do the contrary, thus removing
any excess of the good in the market. </span>
Answer:
4,513 approx.
Explanation:
The computation of the minimum number of jars of silver polish is shown below:-
Sales revenue for one jar of silver polish $5.60
Sales revenue for 1/4 pound of Grit 337 0.85
($3.40 × 1 ÷ 4)
Incremental revenue from
further processing $4.75
($5.60 - 0.85)
Incremental costs of further processing:
Processing costs $2.40
Selling costs $0.40 $2.80
Incremental contribution
margin from further
processing into silver polish
per jar $1.95
($4.75 - $2.80)
Point of indifference denotes the point where all options are equally profitable. But after that we will see that more processing is profitable. This is due to the fixed costs involved in further production.
Thus Minimum number of jars needed to produce to justify the further processing = Avoidable Fixed cost ÷ Incremental contribution
= $8,800 ÷ $1.95
= 4,513 approx.
Answer:
The value of the settlement today = $231,897.79
Explanation:
The value of the settlement today is the sum of the present value (PV) of cash inflows discounted at the discount rate of 5.7 %.
Year PV
1 35,000 × 1.057^(-1) = 33112.58
2 39,000× 1.057^(-2) = 34907.16
3. 80,000× 1.057^(-3) = 67743.09
4 120,000 × 1.057^(-4) =96134.94
The Pv of the total cash in flow =33,112.58 + 34,907.17 + 67,743.09 + 96,134.95 = 231,897.79
The value of the settlement today = $231,897.79
Answer:
option A
Explanation: A firm cannot avoid paying taxes on previous profits as these profits were earned before the shutting down period and generally the taxes on profits for current period are paid at a later period. Thus option B is incorrect.
.
Revenue is the total income that a business gets from its normal operations and variable cost is the cost that changes with the level of output. Thus, there will be no revenue and also variable cost. Hence option C is incorrect.
.
Sunk cost are the costs that cannot be recovered and are already been incurred.So a company can avoid its variable cost by shutting down but not its sunk cost. Hence option D is incorrect.
.
Fixed costs are the costs that are independent of the level of output. Therefore, a company after shutting down will not receive revenue but will have to bear fixed cost. Hence option A is correct.
HERE IS/ARE THE FULL QUESTION(S):
The small island nation of Kaboom is a simple economy with no government, no taxes, and no imports or exports. Kaboomers (citizens of Kaboom) are creatures of habit. They have a rule that everyone saves exactly 40 percent of income. Assume that planned investment is fixed and remains at 225 million Kaboomian dollars. Further assume that autonomous consumption (independent of Y) is zero, so consumption (C) is MPC times Upper YMPC×Y.
The following data are estimates for the island of Kaboom:
bullet• Real GNP (Y): 422 million Kaboomian dollars
bullet• Planned investment spending (I):225 million Kaboomian dollars
You are asked by the business editor of the Explosive Times, the local newspaper, to predict the economic events of the next few months.
Based on the data given, you predict inventories will DECREASE and the level of real GNP will INCREASE.
Things will stop changing when SAVINGS EQUAL INVESTMENT.
Kaboom's economy will reach equilibrium when its real GNP = 563 MILLION Kaboomian dollars
