Answer:

The difference between the monopolistic price charged in England and the monopolistic price charged in the United States will be = 27

Explanation:

Y1 = 7200 -100p1 = > p1 = 72 – y1/100

Y2 = 3600 – 200p2   = > p2 = 18 – y2/200

The cost of monopolist (since it’s the same firm and uses same technology) shall be same in both countries, hence let us assume marginal cost to be say c

Now the first order condition for Profit Maximisation of a monopolist yields

Marginal Revenue = Marginal cost

= > Marginal Rev US = c = Marginal RevEngland…………………..i

Now, Revenue in US = p1y1 = y1(72 – y1/100)

MR US = dRev/dy1 =   72 – y1/100 -y1/100 = 72 – y1/50

Similarly MR­Eng = 18 – y2/100

Hence putting the above derivations in i:-

72 – y1/50 = 18 – y2/100

Now putting values for y1 and y2 again the above equation becomes:-

72 – (7200 -100p1)/50 = 18 – (3600 – 200p2)/100

= > 54 – 144 + 2p1 = -36 + 2p2

= > 2(p1 – p2) = -36 + 90 = 54

= > p1 – p2 = 27

Give an example of financial leverage, define it and explain how financial leverage works
Gemiola [76]
Example: A company spends $5 million to buy prime real estate on which to build a new manufacturing factory. The land is worth $5 million. This is not financial leverage because the corporation is not using borrowed funds to purchase the land.
If the same corporation spent $2.5 million of its own money and $2.5 million in borrowed funds to purchase the same piece of real estate, the company is utilizing financial leverage.

Define: the utilization of fixed expenditures to increase the expected risk and potential return

Explanation: When purchasing assets, the corporation has three alternatives for financing: stock, debt, and leases. Apart from equity, the remaining choices have fixed costs that are lower than the expected income from the asset.

"The spot price of the market index is $900. A 3-month forward contract on this index is priced at $930. What is the profit or l
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

$10 profit

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the profit or loss to a short position.

Firstly, we identify that the spot price of market index is $900.

Now, a three months forward contract equals a value of $930.

Raising the index to $920 at the expiry date is obviously a profit to the short position.

To calculate the profit here, we simply subtract the index at expiry date from the three months forward contract.

Mathematically, this is equal to $930-$920 = $10 profit

If you had a choice how much are you willing to pay per month to have access to and use the various social media platforms?​
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer: $10 per month

Explanation:

$10 would be an ideal amount for me to pay to have access to the various social media sites if the major sites are on offer.

I think this amount reasonable because I do not use social media all that much but I would still like access to a variety of them. I would essentially therefore, be paying for my reduced time on the net.

Some might say that the companies might not make a profit if they charge $10 a month but I think they will because they make most of their money from ads so it would be good for them to offer the lowest subscription prices so that they can capture more people which will appeal to advertisers.

Flesch Corporation produces and sells two products. In the most recent month, Product C90B had sales of $23,490 and variable exp
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales

Product C90B CMR = ($23,490 - $7,047) / $23,490 = $16,443 / $23,490 = 0.7 = 70%

Product Y45E CMR = ($34,800 - $13,920) / $34,800 = $20,880 / $34,800 = 0.6 = 60%

The rule, <em>the Higher the contribution margin ratio, the lower the Break-Even point. </em>So, if sales mix shifts to product C90B, overall Break-even point <u>Decreases</u>.
