Answer:

One of the great dangers in allocating common fixed corporate costs is that such allocations can make a product line look less profitable than it really is.

Explanation:

Therefore, care must be exercised so that a product line is not eliminated because the common fixed costs have been allocated to it such that it becomes unprofitable. This is why it is necessary to identify activity cost pools into which such fixed costs can be accumulated and from which they can be allocated to product lines. Using ABC costing approach, for instance, offers a means of escape because the system tries to allocate costs based on the level of usage or consumption of such common costs by each product line instead of using arbitrary allocation formulas.

Bond P is a premium bond with a coupon rate of 9 percent. Bond D has a coupon rate of 5 percent and is currently selling at a di

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

a) 7% as their market price will adjsut to give the same yield as the market

b) bond P = -10.17

bonds D = 10.07

Explanation:

we have to calcualte the price variation of the bonds from now (10 years to maturity) to next year (9 years)

Bond P

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 90.000

time 10

rate 0.07

$90 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-10} }{0.07} = PV\\$

PV $632.1223

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 10.00

rate 0.07

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{10} } = PV$

PV 508.35

PV c $632.1223

PV m $508.3493

Total $1,140.4716

then, at time = 9

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 90.000

time 9

rate 0.07

$90 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-9} }{0.07} = PV\\$

PV $586.3709

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 9.00

rate 0.07

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{9} } = PV$

PV 543.93

PV c $586.3709

PV m $543.9337

Total $1,130.3046

Capital loss: 1,130.30 - 1,140.47 = -10.17

We repeat the process for bond D

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 50.000

time 10

rate 0.07

$50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-10} }{0.07} = PV\\$

PV $351.1791

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 10.00

rate 0.07

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{10} } = PV$

PV 508.35

PV c $351.1791

PV m $508.3493

Total $859.5284

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 50.000

time 9

rate 0.07

$50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-9} }{0.07} = PV\\$

PV $325.7616

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 9.00

rate 0.07

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{9} } = PV$

PV 543.93

PV c $325.7616

PV m $543.9337

Total $869.6954

Capital gain: 869.70 - 859.53 = 10.07

In-s [12.5K]

Answer: Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct Option: A.supply whatever amount consumers demand at a price determined by the minimum point on the typical firm's average total cost curve.

In the long run, equilibrium price of a perfectly competitive firm implies that there is no economic profit for the firm. This situation occur when the marginal cost is equal to the average total cost.

The firm is break even when the price is equal to the minimum point of average total cost of the firm. So, there is no possibility of economic profit for the firm.
