Answer:

Explanation:

It wouldn't now, unless you are very wealthy. Interest rates are very low and you would have to go into the junk bond market to get any kind of decent return. But Junk Bonds are or can be very unstable and you get a high return for a very chancy situation.

I think I know what the question wants you to understand. You need something that will provide with income. You just don't want to deal with bonds. There are stocks around that pay dividends; they are very conservative and if they go down, that will be the least of your problems.

You can then devote your resources to capital gains or pure stocks: no interest payments, but the stock itself goes up. There is a whole different tax system for capital gains.

You should also get some gold or silver as insurance.

Since you have asked about stocks and bonds, I have not said anything about cryptos. That's an option, but you have to be very knowledgeable because those things can be an investment nightmare.

Isabellas, Inc., a local convenience store, sells soft drinks. It sells two large drinks for every small drink. A large drink se
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Large drink:

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price - Variable cost

                                                = $3.00 - $0.80

                                                = $2.20

Small drink:

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price - Variable cost

                                                = $1.00 - $0.50

                                                = $0.50

Sales mix ratio 2:1  

(2/3 × 100 = 66.67% for large drink

and 1/3 × 100 = 33.33% for small drink

Weighted contribution margin:

= Contribution margin per unit × sales mix percentage

= ($2.20 × 66.67%) + ($0.50 × 33.33%)

= $1.47 + 0.17

= $1.63 or $1.64 (approx)

Which of the following are true regarding profits, revenues, and costs? Choose one or more: A. total costs = implicit costs + ex
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

A. total costs = implicit costs + explicit costs

C. profit = total revenue – total costs

E. economic profit = accounting profit – implicit costs

F. revenue = price x quantity

G.economic profit = revenue – implicit costs

Explanation:

Implicit costs are opportunity cost.

Explicit cost are the actual cost incured in carrying out an activity.

For example, if I decide to start up a delivery business, I would be leaving a job that pays $500. The cost to buy bicycles are $300. I make 10 deliveries and earn $1000.

My implicit cost is $500. It is what I would have been earning if I didn't start my business.

My explicit Cost is $300 which is the cost of acquiring bicycles.

Revenue = price of a good × quantity sold

Accounting profit = Revenue - Explicit cost. In the above example, my accounting profit is $1000 - $300 = $700

Economic profit = Accounting profit - implicit cost

In the above example, my economic profit is $700 - $500 = $200

I hope my answer helps you
