I believe the correct answer would be option A. The government regulate natural monopolies by ensuring and overseeing one supplier. A natural monopoly would happen when a largest manufacturer of a certain industry would have a very big gap as compared to other competitors. These industries are being regulated so as to minimize monopolization and to maintain the competitive equality between industries. Monopolies are mainly being governed by antitrust laws on a national level and on an international level. The ways that the government is regulating are establishing average cost pricing, price ceiling, Rate of return regulations and taxation laws.
Answer:
Existing Equity = 20 million
Existing debt = 60 million
Total capital = 20 million + 60 million = 80 million
a. Given company issued 30 million of equity to retire debt
Equity after raise = $20 million + $30 million = $50 million
Debt = $60 million - $30 million = $30 million
Total capital size remain at $80 million
Capital structure, Equity = $50 million/$80 million = 0.625 = 62.50%
Debt = (1-0.625) = 0.375 = 37.50%
b. The market would welcome the new issue as the risk of the firm would be reduced.
Answer:
a. 80,000 units
b. 95,000 units
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a.The anticipated break-even sales (units) is
As we know that
Break even point in units = Total fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $27,600,000 ÷ $345
= 80,000 units
Where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $1,150 - $805
= $345
b. The units for realize operating income is
Unit sales for target profit = (Fixed expense + Target profit) ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= ($27,600,000 + $5,175,000) ÷ $345
= $32,775,000 ÷ $345
= 95,000 units
The answer that best fits the blank above is the term ANALOG. The ANALOG FORECASTING METHOD is known as the oldest method in the forecasting of weather. This kind of method reviews the previous weather events in order to lead to a particular weather event. Hope this helps.
Answer: variable; fixed
