An example of a monopoly is a utility company
A natural monopoly occurs due to the high start-up costs or a large economies of scale.
Natural monopolies are usually the only company providing a service in a particular region
Because the demand curve for a monopoly is downward sloping, marginal revenue is less than price. As prices fall, more units of the product are bought.
In a monopoly 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.
mwakilembe Co.ltd is a micro business which buys and sell toys on 1 January 2020 the company predicted its annual sales to be 1000000 units. Each order would cost the company TZS 80 . The company pays TZS 160 per unit of a product. Estimated inventory carrying costs are 25 percent of inventory value. Establish the EOQ units.
Answer:
2000
Explanation:
Given:
Annual DEMAND, D = 1,000,000
Holding cost, H = (I * C)
Cost per order, S = 80
Unit cost, C = 160
Holding cost (%) = 25% = 0.25
The Economic order quantity :
EOQ = √[(2 * D * S) / (I * C)]
EOQ = √[(2 * 1000000 * 80) / (0.25 * 160)]
EOQ = √[(160000000) / 40]
EOQ = √4000000
EOQ = 2000

g If it is difficult to substitute for a good in the short run, but easy in the long run, then _____ . Group of answer choices the elasticity of demand is more elastic in the short un elasticity changes along the demand curve the elasticity of demand is more elastic in the long run the good is an inferior good
Answer:
the elasticity of demand is more elastic in the long run
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
In the long run, people have more time to search for suitable alternatives than when compared to the short run. Thus, demand tends to be more elastic in the long run
Explain (with theories support) the elements that can affect an individual behavior
Answer:
wow who has theory support THAT MENAS YOU HAVE wow but none of them has it
Explanation:
Social Cognitive Theory3,4
Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory proposes that
people are driven not by inner forces, but by external factors. This model suggests that human functioning can be explained by a triadic interaction of
behavior, personal and environmental factors (see
figure 1). This is often known as reciprocal determinism. Environmental factors represent situational
influences and environment in which behavior is preformed while personal factors include instincts,
drives, traits, and other individual motivational forces. Several constructs underlie the process of human
learning and behavior change.3 These variables may also intervene in the process of behavior change4.
• Self-efficacy — A judgment of one’s ability to perform the behavior.
• Outcome Expectations — A judgment of the likely consequences a behavior will produce. The
importance of these expectations (i.e., expectancies) may also drive behavior.
• Self-Control — The ability of an individual to control their behaviors.
• Reinforcements — Something that increases or decreases the likelihood a behavior will continue

Project A requires a $280,000 initial investment for new machinery with a five-year life and a salvage value of $30,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation. Project A is expected to yield annual net income of $20,000 per year for the next five years. QS 26-6 Accounting rate of return LO P2 Compute Project A’s accounting rate of return.
Answer:
12.90%
Explanation:
Annual average investment = (Initial investment + Salvage value) / 2
Annual average investment = ($280000 + $30000) / 2
Annual average investment = $155,000
Accounting rate of return = Annual after-tax net income / Annual average investment
Accounting rate of return = $20,000 / $155,000
Accounting rate of return = 0.1290322581
Accounting rate of return = 12.90%
Blue Co. recorded a right-of-use asset of $210,000 in a 10-year operating lease. Payments of $37,167 are made annually at the end of each year. The interest rate charged by the lessor was 12% and was known by Blue. The balance in the right-of-use asset after two years will be:
Answer:
The balance in the right-of-use asset after two years will be $184,629.96.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
First year interest = Cost of the right-of-use asset * Interest rate = $210,000 * $12% = $25,200
Principal paid in the first year = Annual payment - First year interest = $37,167 - $25,200 = $11,967
Balance in the right-of-use asset after one year = Cost of the right-of-use asset - Principal paid in the first year = $210,000 - $11,967 = $198,033
Second year interest = Balance in the right-of-use asset after one year * Interest rate = $198,033 * $12% = $23,763.96
Principal paid in the second year = Annual payment - Second year interest = $37,167 - $23,763.96 = $13,403.04
Balance in the right-of-use asset after two years = Balance of the right-of-use asset after one year - Principal paid in the second year = $198,033 - $13,403.04 = $184,629.96
Therefore, the balance in the right-of-use asset after two years will be $184,629.96.
Debt levels across industries vary widely. Debt ratios in most countries are considerably less than 100 percent. Some firms use no debt. Capital structures are fairly constant across industries. Most corporations have relatively low debt-asset ratios.
Complete Question:
Which one of the following is not empirically correct?
A. Debt levels across industries vary widely
B. Debt ratios in most countries are considerably less than 100 percent.
C. Some firms use no debt.
D. Capital structures are fairly constant across industries.
E. Most corporations have relatively low debt-asset ratios.
Answer:
The not empirically correct statement is:
D. Capital structures are fairly constant across industries.
Explanation:
Instead, the capital structures across industries vary significantly. Firms with large asset investments tend to have more leverage than others with less asset investments. And this situation of having or not having large investments in assets cuts across firms in the same industry. This suggests that their capital structures will always vary not because of the industry but the choices made by the firm's management. Capital structures are also influenced by taxes and operating income uncertainties, which also vary within the same industry.
An American clothing manufacturer has recently purchased a clothing factory in Taiwan. This action is known as ________.
Answer: Foreign Direct Investment / Direct Investing
Explanation:
When a foreign company buys a domestic company with the intent of owing it and managing it actively, the foreign company is said to have directly invested in the domestic country.
This is what the American clothing company has done so this qualifies as a direct investment into Taiwan. If the American company had simply purchased shares in a company in Taiwan, this would be a Foreign portfolio investment.
A company needs 510,000 items per year. It costs the company $850 to prepare a production run of these items and $9 to produce each item. If it also costs the company $0.75 per year for each item stored, find the number of items that should be produced in each run so that total costs of production and storage are minimized. 33995 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. items/run
Answer:
20,824 units
Explanation:
850x + [ 0.75 - 510,000 ] / x
solving the equation we get,
[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = [ 0.75 - 510,000 ] / 850
x = 24.49
The number of items produced in each run should be;
510,000 / 24.49 = 20,824
The Allowance for Bad Debts account had a balance of $10,600 at the beginning of the year and $12,200 at the end of the year. During the year (including the year-end adjustment), bad debts expense of $18,800 was recognized.

Enviro Company issues 14.00%, 10-year bonds with a par value of $500,000 and semiannual interest payments. On the issue date, the annual market rate for these bonds is 11.00%, which implies a selling price of 129.625. The straight-line method is used to allocate interest expense.
Required:
a. Using the implied selling price of 129 5/8. what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds?
b. Whet total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds?
Answer: a. $648,125
b. $551875
Explanation:
a. Using the implied selling price of 129 5/8. what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds?
Bonds Face Value = $500,000
Cash Proceeds will then be:
= 129.625% × $500,000
= $648,125
b. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds?
20 payments of $35000 = $700000
Pee value at maturity = $500000
Total repaid = $1200000
Less: Amount borrowed = $648125
Total bond Interest expense = $551875

b. $11,550
c. $11,450
d. $8,600
e. $13,050
Answer:
c. $11,450
Explanation:
GDP = Consumption (C) + Investment (I) + Government Expenditure (G) + Net Export (NX)
GDP = [Non durable goods+Durable goods+Services] + [Fixed investment+Inventory investment] + Government purchase + [Export-Import]
GDP = [$700+$3000+$6000] + [$850+$200] + $900 + [$600-$800]
GDP = $9700 + $1050 + $900 - $200
GDP = $11,450
Prepare journal entries to record each of the following four separate issuances of stock.
a. A corporation issued 3,000 shares of $10 par value common stock for $36,000 cash.
b. A corporation issued 1,500 shares of no-par common stock to its promoters in exchange for their efforts, estimated to be worth $23,000. The stock has a $2 per share stated value.
c. A corporation issued 1,500 shares of no-par common stock to its promoters in exchange for their efforts, estimated to be worth $23,000. The stock has no stated value.
d. A corporation issued 750 shares of $75 par value preferred stock for $79,250 cash.
Answer:
Transaction a
Debit : Cash $36,000
Credit : Common Stock (3,000 x $10) $30,000
Credit : Common Stock - Paid in excess of par $6,000
Transaction b
Debit : Cash $23,000
Credit : Common Stock $23,000
Transaction c
Debit : Cash $23,000
Credit : Common Stock $23,000
Transaction d
Debit : Cash $79,250
Credit : Preferred Stock (750 x $75) $56,250
Credit : Preferred Stock - Paid in excess of par $23,000
Explanation:
The journal entries to record each of the following four separate issuances of stock have been prepared above.
Step 1 : Distinguish if Stock has par value or not
For par value stock, any amount paid in excess of par value is places in a reserve - Paid in Excess of Par on issuance.
For non par value stocks, we value stocks at market price of item exchanged
Step 2 : Recording
On Issuance, Cash is increasing so we debit Cash Account. The Stock Account as well as the Reserve - Paid in Excess (if applicable) both increases on the credit side, so that will be a Credit entry

Jane has discovered that she is bored and frustrated working for others. She wants to open a business where she alone will have control and the least interference from government regulation. Which form of business would best meet her needs
Answer:
Sole proprietorship.
Explanation:
A sole proprietorship is a type of business that is owned by a single person and as such their profits are taxed once as personal income tax. It is a type of business that is typically owned by an individual or one person and as such is solely responsible for its debts.
In this scenario, Jane discovers she is bored and frustrated working for other business owners and as a result, she wants to open her own business, wherein, she alone will have control over the business and with the least interference of any form through government regulation. Thus, the form of business which would best meet Jane's needs is a sole proprietorship business because it is offers an exclusive ownership and control to its owner while preventing third-party interference.

Budgeted sales for April are $1,150,000. Gross margin is budgeted at 30% of sales. If the net income for April is budgeted at $155,000, budgeted selling and administrative expenses must be:
Answer:
Budgeted selling and administrative expenses must be $190,000.
Explanation:
Budgeted selling and administrative expenses can be calculated as follows:
Budgeted gross margin = Budgeted sales * Percentage of budgeted sales that is budgeted gross margin = $1,150,000 * 30% = $345,000
Budgeted net income = Budgeted gross margin - Budgeted selling and administrative expenses …………. (1)

Each year Capital Two retains 75 percent of its customers, and the annual discount rate is 5 percent. What annual retention rate doubles the value of a customer?
Answer: 87.5%
Explanation:
Value of a Customer = Margin * Retention rate / (1 + Annual discount rate - Retention rate)
We shall assume a margin of 1 so no need to include it:
= 75% / ( 1 + 5% - 75%)
= 2.5
This value needs to double so assume the retention rate to double this is x and use the formula above to find it:
5 = x / (1 + 5% - x)
5 * (1 + 5% - x) = x
5 + 0.25 - 5x = x
5.25 = 5x+ x
6x = 5.25
x = 5.25 / 6
x = 87.5%
Assume a pro rata reinsurance agreement with a 35% retention. Further assume a primary insurance contract with limits of $2,500,000, premiums of $20,000 and deductible $10,000. a)How much premium will the primary insurance company retain
Answer: $7000
Explanation:
Since there is a pro rata reinsurance agreement with a 35% retention, primary insurance contract with limits of $2,500,000, premiums of $20,000 and deductible $10,000, then the amount of premium that the primary insurance company will retain will be:
= Retention rate × Premium
= 35% × $20000
= 0.35 × $20000
= $7000
