Answer:
monopoly firms will operate at a loss because P < AC
Explanation:
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.
A natural monopoly exists either because of high start-up costs or high economies of scale.
A natural monopoly has a decreasing average cost for some output. When the average cost is falling, the marginal cost lies below the average cost. If the government sets price to be equal to marginal cost, which lies below the average cost, the monopoly would incur losses.

Gelb Company currently manufactures 49,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $6.25 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $89,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $78,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.50 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 49,000 units and buying 49,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier
Answer:
If the company buys the component, income will increase by $223,750.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units= 49,000
Variable costs are $6.25 per unit
Fixed costs= $89,000 per year
The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.50 per unit.
We will take into account only the differential costs.
Make:
Total cost= 49,000*6.25 + 89,000= $395,250
Buy:
Total cost= 49,000*3.5= $171,500
From the beginning, we knew that the cost of buying was cheaper than the unitary variable cost of making the part.
If the company buys the component, income will increase by $223,750.
Unplug Wireless is a cellular service provider that charges its customers $1 for three hours of talk time. So, if a customer's talk time for a month is 60 hours, the company charges him or her $20 at the end of the month. Which of the following business models does this best illustrate?
a. freemium
b. subscription-based
c. pay-as-you-go
d. razor-razor-blade
Answer:
c. pay-as-you-go
Explanation:
-Freemium means that a service is free but if the customers want additional features they have to pay for them.
-Subscription-based is when a customer takes a service for an established price during a specific period of time.
-Pay-as-you-go is when you pay only for the services you use.
-Razor-razor-blade is when a business sells a product at a low price to be able to sell a complementary good.
According to this, the answer is that the business model that is best illustrated is pay-as-you-go because the customer pays for the talk time he/she consumes each month.
The six sigma approach to quality control: Multiple Choice detects potential problems early to prevent their occurrence. views quality control as a function of the marketing department. allows only 600 defective units per one thousand units produced. relies on a special team of experts to examine every unit of output at the end of the production process.
Answer:
detects potential problems early to prevent their occurrence.
Explanation:
Six Sigma is a quality business management strategy which helps business organizations to improve the quality of processes, products and services by discovering and eliminating defects, variations or errors. It is a strategic business concept that was developed in 1986 by Motorola.
This ultimately implies that, the six sigma approach to quality control detects potential problems early to prevent their occurrence.
Under the six sigma approach, any process that doesn't provide customer satisfaction or causes challenges in an organisation's process should be eliminated from the system in order to produce quality products and services. It allows only 3.4 defective features for every million opportunities and as such expects processes to be defect free 99.99966 percent of the time.
Generally, there are two (2) main methods of achieving the six sigma approach;
1. DMAIC: define, measure, analyze, improve and control.
2. DMADV: define, measure, analyze, design and verify.

Seymore named his wife, Penelope, the beneficiary of a $100,000 insurance policy on his life. The policy provided that, upon his death, the proceeds would be paid at a rate of $4,000 per year plus interest over a 25-year period. Seymore died June 25 of last year, and in the current year Penelope received a payment of $5,200 from the insurance company. What amount should she include in her gross income for the current year
Answer:
$1,200
Explanation:
The reason is that out of $5,200, $4,000 is the amount that Penelope receives as capital asset proceeds as this $4,000 reduces the insurance policy worth by $4,000. Hence it is insurance policy proceeds and is exempt from tax. The remainder $1,200 is interest earnings per year which must be included in the gross income for current year as it is taxable income.

Ashley is an attorney and also an excellent typist. She can type 120 words per minute, but she charges attorney fees at $100 per hour. Benjamin would like some typing work but can only type 60 words per minute. According to the law of comparative advantage, Ashley should hire Benjamin to do her typing if and only if his wage rate is less than:__________
Answer:
$50 / hr
Explanation:
The law of comparative advantage states that an entity should be able to produce its goods and services at a lower opportunity cost compared others in the same line of business so as to have an edge in the market.

Aria’s, Inc. has 1,000 shares of 5%, $100 par value cumulative preferred stock and 10,000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding. The company has not paid dividends in two years. In its third year, it paid the common shareholders a $2 per-share dividend, plus the amount owed to preferred shareholders. What is the total amount of dividends paid?
Answer:
The total amount of dividends paid by Aria’s, Inc. is $30,000.
Explanation:
The total amount of dividends paid by Aria’s, Inc. can be obtained by adding the dividends paid to common shareholders and preferred stockholders as follows:
Annual dividend paid to cumulative preferred stockholders = Number of cumulative preferred shares * Par value of the share * Dividend rate = 1,000 * $100 * 5% = $5,000
Since Aria’s, Inc. has has not paid dividends in two years, the total dividend paid to cumulative preferred stockholders is as follows:
Total dividend paid to cumulative preferred stockholders = Annual dividend paid to cumulative preferred stockholders * 2 = $5,000 * 2 = $10,000
Dividend paid to common stockholders = Number of common shares * Common shares dividend per share = 10,000 * $2 = $20,000
Therefore, we have:
Total amount of dividends paid = Total dividend paid to cumulative preferred stockholders + Dividend paid to common stockholders = $10,000 + $20,000 = $30,000
Therefore, the total amount of dividends paid by Aria’s, Inc. is $30,000.

Answer:
Many small business owners decide to set up an LLC for the liability protection it provides. An LLC, or limited liability company, exists separately from its owners (known as members), and the owners are therefore not personally responsible for business debts.Most states don’t allow two different business entities to have the same name. So you can’t, for example, have “Joe’s Donuts, LLC” and “Joe’s Donuts, Inc.,” even if they’re located in different cities. Many states also restrict companies from using certain words in their names, such as “bank.” If the LLC name you’ve selected is available, but you aren’t going to be filing your LLC documents right away, you may want to reserve the name. Nearly every state allows you to reserve a name by filing a form and paying a name reservation fee. The length of the reservation period, filing fees, and renewal policies vary from state to state.Almost every state requires its LLCs to name a registered agent (also sometimes called a statutory agent). A registered agent is a person who agrees to receive lawsuits, subpoenas and other official documents on behalf of the LLC and to pass them along to the appropriate person at the LLC.An LLC operating agreement is the roadmap that describes how your LLC will be run. It specifies such things as the ownership interests and voting rights of the members, how profits and losses will be allocated, how meetings will be held, how the business will be governed, the rights of the members if one of them dies or leaves the business, and the way the company will be dissolved if it goes out of business.Each state has its own form and procedure for establishing an LLC. In general, you must file articles of organization that list.After the LLC’s formation documents are filed and approved, the state will issue a certificate or other document that confirms that your LLC formally exists. Once you’ve received the certificate, you can take care of business matters like obtaining a tax ID number and business licenses and setting up a business bank account. Explanation:If your LLC does business in more than one state, you may need to register to do business in other states. To do this, you’ll need to fill out and submit paperwork that’s similar to the paperwork you filed when you formed your LLC. You’ll also need a registered agent in each state where you are authorized to do business.

At what price and P/E ratio would you expect the firm to sell? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Price $
P/E ratio
b.
What is the present value of growth opportunities? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

c.
What would be the P/E ratio and the present value of growth opportunities if the firm planned to reinvest only 20% of its earnings? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
P/E ratio
PVGO $
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The price and P/E ratio is
Price = Current year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
where,
Growth rate is
= ROE × plowback ratio
= 20% × 0.30
= 6%
And, the current year dividend is ×
= $2 × (1 - 0.30)
= $1.4
So, the price is
= $1.4 ÷ (0.14 - 0.06)
= $17.50
Now the P/E ratio is
= $17.50 ÷ 2
= 8.75
b) For the present value of growth opportunities, the formula and the computation is
= Price of the stock - earnings ÷ required rate of return
= $17.50 - $2 ÷ 0.14
= 3.21
c) The P/E ratio and the present value of growth opportunities is
But before that we need to find out the price which is
Price = Current year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
where,
Growth rate is
= ROE × plowback ratio
= 20% × 0.20
= 4%
And, the current year dividend is
= $2 × (1 - 0.20)
= $1.6
So, the price is
= $1.6 ÷ (0.14 - 0.04)
= $16
Now the P/E ratio is
= $16 ÷ 2
= 8
And, the growth opportunities is
= Price of the stock - earnings ÷ required rate of return
= $16 - $2 ÷ 0.14
= 1.72
Clarion Township was approved for a grant from the federal government. The grant provides for reimbursement up to $200,000 for expenditures incurred to weatherize homes for low-income persons.

Answer:
Make no journal entry
Explanation:
A journal entry is defined as a record of a financial transaction by an entity. Economic and non economic transactions are recorded in the accounting journal to show debits and credits of the business.
In this scenario Clarion Township was approved for a grant from the federal government.
However upon notification of the approval no journal entry is to be recorded because weatherization has not started, so no expense has been incurred.
Journal entry is only made when cost is incurred or revenue is earned.
Stock QWE plans to pay dividends of $3.00, $3.50, and $4.00 in each of the next three years. If the price of this stock will be $50.00 at the end of three years and the required rate of return by shareholders is 15%, then what is the value of the stock today
Answer:
$40.76
Explanation:
Calculation of the value of the stock today
First step is find the value of stock for each year.
The Value of stock today will be:
First year =($3.00 / 1.15^¹)
First year=($3.00/1.15)
First year=$2.61
Second year= ($3.50 / 1.15^²)
Second year =($3.50/1.3225)
Second year =$2.65
Third year= ($4.00 / 1.15^3)
Third year=($4.00/1.520875)
Third year =$2.63
End of third year= ($50.00 / 1.15^3)
End of third year = ($50.00/1.520875)
End of third year =$32.88
Last step is to add the amount for each year up
V0= $2.61 + $2.65 + $2.63 + $32.88
V0= $40.76
Therefore the value of the stock today will be $40.76
When would a court consider the adequacy of consideration? Select one: A. To verify that a sale of assets was not done to avoid payment to creditors. B. When one party has promised forbearance as consideration. C. To verify that one party gave a promise in return for the act of another party. D. To verify that each party gave a valid promise to the other party. E. To verify that property was sold at its fair market value.
Answer:
E. To verify that property was sold at its fair market value
Explanation:
Adequacy of consideration is an aspect of law that says a lawful agreement is made when the buyer of a good or service gives a fair price for offerings made by the seller.
The fair price may however come in different forms - property, a promise to perform an action, an act, or money.
For example if a person offers to sell a car at $3,000 and the buyer accepts this price, the agreement is said to have adequate consideration.
If a court determines that a contract does not meet fair market price of goods and services sold, it can nullify the contract

Cost of goods available for sale must be allocated at the end of the period between ending inventory and cost of goods sold.
Explanation:
Cost of goods available for sale can be described as the maximum amount of inventory, stock, or goods that is possible for a firm to sell during an accounting period. It is the maximum amount because it is not possible for a firm to sell more than the cost of goods available for sale.
The cost of goods available for sale is obtained by adding beginning inventory and net purchases during an accounting period. This can be stated as follows:
COGAFS = BI + NP ............................... (1)
Where;
COGAFS = Cost of goods available for sale
BI = Beginning inventory
NP = Net purchases
At the end of an accounting period, ending inventory is deducted from the cost of goods available for sale to obtain cost of goods sold as follows:
COGS = COGAFS - EI ............................ (2)
Where;
COGS = Cost of goods sold
COGAFS = Cost of goods available for sale
EI = Ending inventory
Rearranging equation (2) and solve for COGAFS, we have:
COGFAS = COGS + EI ........................... (3)
Equation (3) therefore implies that the correct option is "cost of goods available for sale must be allocated at the end of the period between ending inventory and cost of goods sold".
