Answer:
a. The monopolistic competition structure is properly classified.
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high / many barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of a monopoly is a utility company

• The company reported net sales of $6,250 million. Assume that there were no noncash sales. • Operating costs (excluding depreciation and amortization) were 65% of the company’s total revenues. • Depreciation and amortization charges were 5% of total sales. • Interest charges were 15% of earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) with a tax rate of 40%.Net income is the money that the business is left with after paying operating expenses, interest expense, and taxes. However, because some revenues and expense are not cash transactions, net cash flow indicates the true cash flow situation of the company. The company's current cash flow is:_________ a. $573 million b. $379 million c. $761 million d. $955 million
Answer:
$1268.75m
Explanation:
The company's current cash flow can be calculated by calculating the profit after tax. In order to find profit after tax, we need to deduct all the costs incurred during the period. After calculating Profit after tax we will add back the depreciation amount because depreciation is a non-cash item.
Net Profit After Tax
Net Sales $6,250
Less: Operating cost 65% $4062..50
Less: Depreciation 5% $312.50
EBIT $1,875
Less: Interest 15% of EBIT $281.25
Earning After Interest $1,593.75
Less : taxation (40%) $637.50
Net profit after Tax $956.25
Cashflow Statement
Net profit after Tax $956.25
ADD: Depreciation $312.5
Total Cash Flow $1268.75

Answer:
d. 20.0%.

Debt to equity is
= (total debt ÷ total equity)
where,
Total debt is $700,000
And, the total equity is $3,500,000
Now place these values to the above formula
So, the debt to equity ratio is
= ($700,000 ÷ $3,500,000)
= 20%.
Hence, the debt to equity ratio is 20%
Therefore the correct option is d. 20%

Fixed manufacturing overhead $30,000

(Chemical Manufacturing) A chemical manufacturer produces a certain chemical compound every Sunday, which it then sells to its customers on Monday through Saturday. The company earns a revenue of $80 per kg of the compound sold. Each kg manufactured costs the company $40. If any of the compound goes unsold by Saturday night, it must be destroyed safely, at a cost of $15 per kg. The total demand for the chemical compound throughout the week has a normal distribution with a mean of 260 kg and a standard deviation of 80 kg.a) How much of the chemical compound should the company produce every Sunday?b) What is the expected cost (including manufacturing cost, lost profit, and disposal cost) per week?
Answer:
The answer is "244 kg and $9,760".
Explanation:
Income in per kg = $80
designing and producing costs per kg= $40
Earn revenue per kg = $40 (that is often recognized as the expenses) and the sum of the company would not be allowed if the consumer has no kg of the product.
Overstocking cost in per kg = $40 production cost + $15 disposal cost
= $55
the corporate amount should be borne if additionals kg is generated.
In potion A:
Due to regular transfer, the optimal quantity of data must not be generated per week = [tex]\mu +Z\times \sigma[/tex] ([tex]\mu[/tex]= average demand, Z = normal distribution score, and [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation).
[tex]Z =\frac{\ Understocking \ Cost}{\ Understocking \ Cost +\ Overstocking \ Cost}[/tex]
Each Saturday the company of chemicals composites shall produce = 244
In potion B:
Weekly estimated cost
[tex]= \text{Maximum weekly order (244 kg)} \times \ Production \ overhead \ per \ kg (\$ 40)}\\[/tex]
[tex]= \$ 9,760[/tex]

Bill Buckely has split-limit 50/100/20 automobile liability insurance on his 2012 Subaru. Driving home from work in a snowstorm, he hit a Mercedes, slid into a guardrail, and knocked down a telephone pole. Damages to the Mercedes, the guardrail, and the telephone pole were $17,603, $3,136, and $9,659 respectively. How much will Bill's insurance company pay? How much will Bill be required to pay directly?
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
It should be noted that the split limits approach is used by several auto insurance policies and this simply combines per person and occurrence approach.
For every accident, three dollars amount are being applied. The first limit is simply a per person limit which is the maximum amount that one injured person will get. The second limit is simply the per occurrence limit which is the maximum amount that all the injured persons will get while the third limit applies during the claim of property damage as it is the maximum amount that will be paid for damages by an insurer to property that results from the accident.
since the split is 50/100/20, it implies that $50,000 medical coverage for every injured person, $100,000 injury coverage for all accident victims and then $20,000 for property damage.
1. Bill's insurance company will pay $20000.
2. Amount Bill will pay:
= $17,603 + $3,136 + $9,659 - $20,000
= $30,398 - $20,000
= $10,398
