Answer:
a. $5
b. $4
c. $6
Explanation:
a. store A?
Beginning balance = $300
Ending balance = $300 - $100 = $200
Average balance = ($300 + $200) ÷ 2 = $250
Monthly APR = 24% ÷ 12 = 2%
June finance charge = Average balance × Monthly APR = $250 × 2% = $5
b. store B
June finance charge = (Beginning balance - Payments) × Monthly APR = ($300 - $100) × 2% = $4
c. store C?
June finance charge = Beginning balance × Monthly APR = $300 × 2% = $6
Answer:
b. protects the current shareholders against a dilution of their ownership interests.
Explanation:
Shares are ownership interests that are owned by business owners and measures the degree to which an individual has a stake in a company.
Preemtive right occurs when a shareholder has a right to purchase a particular portion of newly issued shares.
For example if an individual has 40,000 shares and additional 250,000 shares are issued, he can have the right to purchase an additional 30,000 of the new shares.
The preemtive right prevents dilution of ownership interests by ensuring old stockholders have a stake in newly issued shares.
Answer:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Variable cost as a percent of sales:
= (Variable expenses ÷ Sales) × 100
= ($3,000,000 ÷ $5,000,000) × 100
= 60%
If Sales = X
then Variable cost is 0.6X (i.e. 60% of Sales)
Sales - Variable cost - fixed expenses = net operating income
X - 0.6X - 1,500,000 = 300,000
0.4X = 300000 + 1500000 = 1800000
X = 1800000 ÷ 0.4
= 4,500,000
Answer:
Option D
To me, I think option D is the most preferred answer
If all firms only earn a normal profit in the long run, firms will develop new products or lower-cost production methods because they can innovate and possibly earn an economic profit in the short run.
Explanation:
Competition involves constant efforts by companies and executives to do more than the loss (normal gains) of new goods or by improving ways to manufacture current products at lower prices. Therefore, if businesses can invent, they will achieve short-term economic advantage.
Economic benefit encourages entry, economic losses lead to exit and firms in a highly profitable market earn little economic income in a long-term equilibrium. In an industry where inflation does not change the costs of materials (a market with a constant cost), the long-term supply curve is a horizontal line.
