Kate's Diner offers one breakfast item, a breakfast special. The market price for this meal is $5. At her profit-maximizing level of output, Kate's average variable cost is $4 per meal. Her average total cost is $6 per meal. Since the market is perfectly competitive, Kate should ________.
Answer:
keep producing in the short run but exit the industry or go out of business in the long run
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous 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 firm should shut down in the short run if price is less than average variable cost. But since the diner's price is greater than average variable cost, it should continue production.
A firm should exit the industry in the long run if price is less than average total cost. the diner's price is less than average total cost, so it should shut down in the long run

Joan, who has a PhD in economics, has been employed as an agent by Gibraltar Securities for the past 15 years. Missing academic life, she resigns from the broker-dealer and accepts a position as an economics professor at a state university. Which, if any party, is required to notify the state securities Administrator of this change
Answer:
both the agent in question as well as the former broker/dealer are required to notify the Administrator promptly.
Explanation:
In the specific scenario that is being described both the agent in question as well as the former broker/dealer are required to notify the Administrator promptly. This is mainly due to the fact that the license that an agent possesses expires as soon as they cease to be employed by the broker/dealer and/or issuer for whom they were previously licensed. Therefore this information needs to be presented immediately to the securities administrator and her license needs to be revoked.
The market value of Charcoal Corporation's common stock is $20 million, and the market value of its risk-free debt is $5 million. The beta of the company's common stock is 1.25, and the market risk premium is 8%. If the Treasury bill rate is 5%, what is the company's cost of capital
Answer:
The company's cost of capital will be "13%".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Risk free rate
= 5
Beta
= 1.25
Market risk premium
= 8
Now,
⇒ [tex]cost \ of \ common \ stock=Risk \ free \ rate+Beta\times Market \ risk \ premium[/tex]
On substituting the estimated values, we get
⇒ [tex]=5+(1.25\times 8)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=15 \ percent[/tex]
The total value will be:
= [tex]20 +5[/tex]
= $[tex]25 \ million[/tex]
As we know,
⇒ [tex]WACC=Respective \ costs\times Respective \ weights[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=(\frac{20}{25}\times15)+(\frac{5}{25}\times 5)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=12+1[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=13 \ percent[/tex]
Note: % = percent

Cart Co. purchased an office building and the land on which it is located for $750,000 cash and an existing $250,000 mortgage. For realty tax purposes, the property is assessed at $960,000, 60% of which is allocated to the building. At what amount should Cart record the building
Answer:
$600,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount to be recorded for the building is shown below:
But first we have to determine the total acquisition cost of land which is as follows
= Cash + mortgage
= $750,000 + $250,000
= $1,000,000
Now it is mentioned that 60% is allocated to the building
So, it would be
= $1,000,000 × 60%
= $600,000
Byron Company records several adjusting entries for accrued expenses at the end of each month. The adjusting entry for each of Byron's accrued expenses is a(n): Multiple Choice Increase an expense; decrease a liability. Increase an expense; decrease an asset.
Answer: Increase an expense
Explanation:
Accrued expenses are those expenses that the company has already incurred but have not yet paid for. Even though they have not paid for this, they will still have to account for it due to the Accrual basis in Accounting that requires that expenses are recognised when incurred not when paid.
The adjusting entry for an accrued expense is therefore to increase (by debiting) the relevant expense account and then increase (by crediting) the relevant liability account.

A. The money supply decreases by $1,500,000
B. The money supply decreases by $135,000.
C. There is no change in the money supply.
D. The money supply decreases by $150,000.
E. None of the above.
The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:
This is an example of Open market operations (OMO).
Open market operations (OMO) is a monetary policy strategy in which the central bank such as the Federal Reserve sells or purchases government securities in order to implement a particular monetary policy.
When the central bank sells government securities on the open market, it aims to reduce the money supply by the worth of the securities. This is called a contractionary monetary policy.
On the other hand, when the central bank purchases government securities on the open market, it aims to increase the money supply by the worh of the government securities. This is called an expansionary monetary policy.
From the question, the sale of $150,000 worth of U.S. government securities from a bond dealer is a contractionary monetary policy and it will reduce the money supply by exactly $150,000.
Therefore, the correct option is D. The money supply decreases by $150,000.

total costs (including merchandise purchased) = $362,400total costs (not including merchandise purchased) = $2,400Explanation:
we must find the EOQ for the three possible prices:
when price per tire is $17:
EOQ = √(2SD) / H
S = cost per order = $40
D = annual demand = 20,000
H = 20% x $17 = $3.40
EOQ = √[(2 x $40 x 20,000) / $3.40] = 685.99 = 686 tires
when price per tire is $18:
EOQ = √(2SD) / H
S = cost per order = $40
D = annual demand = 20,000
H = 20% x $18 = $3.60
EOQ = √[(2 x $40 x 20,000) / $3.60] = 666.67 = 667 tires
when price per tire is $20:
EOQ = √(2SD) / H
S = cost per order = $40
D = annual demand = 20,000
H = 20% x $20 = $4
EOQ = √[(2 x $40 x 20,000) / $4] = 632.46 = 632 tires
since all options are over 500 units but lower than 1,000, we must take the option where each tire costs $18
total cost:
20,000 x $18 = $360,000
(20,000 / 667) x $40 = $1,199.40
holding costs = average inventory = 667 / 2 = 333.5 x $3.60 = $1,200.60
total costs (including merchandise purchased) = $362,400
Assume that you plan to buy a share of XYZ stock today and to hold it for 2 years. Your expectations are that you will not receive a dividend at the end of Year 1, but you will receive a dividend of $9.25 at the end of Year 2. In addition, you expect to sell the stock for $150 at the end of Year 2. If your expected rate of return is 16 percent, how much should you be willing to pay for this stock today?
Answer:
Price to be paid today = $118.35
Explanation:
The price of a share can be calculated using the dividend valuation model
According to this model the value of share is equal to the sum of the present values of its future cash dividends discounted at the required rate of return.
The model can applied as follows:
PV of dividend = D×(1+r) ^(-n)
D- dividend , r - required rate , n- number of year
D- 9.25, r - 16%, n = 2
PV of dividend = 9.25 × (1.16)^(-2)= 6.9
PV of disposal value
PV of dividend = F × (1+r) ^(-n)
D- disposal value , r - required rate , n- number of year
PV of disposal value = 150 × (1.16)^(-2)= 111.47
Price to be paid today
Total present value = 6.9 + 111.47 = 118.35
Price to be paid today = $118.35
