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.

Answer: C. $0

Explanation:

When including initial costs in a project's cash-flow, the relevant costs are those that henceforth will be spent on the project. Sunk costs are not to be included because they have already been incurred and cannot be recovered.

Research and Development costs have already been incurred and so are sunk costs. Hence they are not to be included in the initial cash-flow for the project.

Answer:

The large round pizza with a 14 inch diameter

Explanation:

We can see this as a simple geometry problem. Which is the largest area? Two squares of 8 inches side or a 14 inch diameter circle? Let's see. The area of the square is side * side, in this case 8 * 8, so we have 64 squared inches in each of the two pizzas. That makes a total of 128 squared inches (64 + 64) for the two small squared pizzas. Now to calculate the circle, we must do the following formula: $\pi *r^{2}$ where r is the radium of the circle. The radium is half of the diameter, in this case 14/2=7. So the formula is 7^2, that is to say 49, multiplied by pi. This gives us approximately 153.93 squared inches, which is bigger than 128. A large round pizza with 14 inches of diameter gives more pizza.

We can also think that most people don't like the crust of the pizza. Two pizzas have more crust than one. So one pizza, besides being bigger, can save you to eat the crust and more cheese and sauce.
