Industry

The sector where raw material gets converted into useful products is called industry.

The purpose of industry is to create form utility by converting raw materials into useful forms of finished products.

An industry may produce consumer goods or capital goods. Goods such as bread, butter, cloth, radio, etc. are consumer goods. These goods are directly used by the consumer. Goods such as machinery, cement etc. are called capital goods as these are used further in the production process to make useful products.

Commerce

We can refer to commerce as all those activities which help directly or indirectly in the distribution of goods to the ultimate consumer. There will be no use of producing goods unless & until these goods reach the ultimate consumer. Goods are produced at one place & consumers are scattered at different places. Commerce can be classified into two broad categories:

Trade

Trade

Trade is an integral part of commerce. It includes buying & selling of goods & services. The trade segment of commerce brings together the manufacturer & the consumer, i.e. it is a link between the manufacturer & the consumer.

Trade can be classified into two types:

Estimate the cost of expanding a planned new clinic by 25,000 ft2. The appropriate capacity exponent is 0.62, and the budget est
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

cost of expansion  = $1389859.55

Explanation:

Given data:

Original size = 185,000 ft^2

New expansion = 25000 ft^2

capacity component  = 0.62

total cost for original size of clinic is = $17 million

Size of new clinic = 185,000 + 25,000 = 210,000 ft^2

cost of new clinic=  17,000,000 \times [\frac{size\ of\ new\ clinic}{185,000}]^{0.62}

cost of new clinic =17,000,000 \times [\frac{210,000}{185,000}]^{0.62}

cost of new clinic = $18,389,859.56

cost of expansion = cost of 210,000 ft^2  -  cost of 185,000 ft^2

                               = 18,389,859.56- 17,000,000

cost of expansion  = $1389859.55

Blababa [14]

Answer:

2%

Explanation:

Actual return = [(Dividend + Capital gain) / Purchase price] * 100

= [($1.32 + $27 - $24) / $24] * 100

= 18%

Expected return = rf + Beta*(E(rm) - rf)

= 10% + 0.6*(20% - 10%)

= 16%

Abnormal return = Actual return - Expected return

Abnormal return = 18% - 16%

Abnormal return = 2%
