GX Global sells excavators, with an average sale price of $500,000 per excavator. TGX received new orders for 90 excavators in 2018. TGX produced & delivered 120 excavators in 2018: 50 excavators were ordered in 2017 and the rest (70 excavators) were ordered in 2018. TGX received payment for 110 excavators. TGX began selling 1-year maintenance services contracts for $50,000 per excavator in 2018, which begin after the excavator is delivered. Contracts were sold on 50% of all excavator orders made in 2018 (no contracts were sold on orders placed in 2017). Assume now that instead of the revenue recognized in the previous question, TGX recognized $50 million in revenue for 100 excavators (and assume no maintenance contract revenue was recognized). In addition, the following occurred in 2018: TGX recognized $2 million in shipping and delivery costs for its excavators. TGX recognized $6 million in direct labor expenses. TGX recognized $3 million in commissions paid to its salespeople for selling the excavators. TGX purchased $60 million in raw materials in 2018, of which $50 million was in cash. Raw materials required to assemble each excavator cost $300,000 per excavator. Calculate TGX’s 2018 gross profit based on the transactions described above. A. $(15.0 million)B. $9.0 millionC. $12.0 millionD. $14.0 millionE. $18.0 million

Need with my trade theory homework. i doubt what i wrote was right.consider a monopolistically competitive market for soft drinks in which n symmetric firms face the following demand function: q=s(1/n-b(p-(p with the straight line on which implies the marginal revenue functionmr=p-(q/sb)finally, suppose firms face the total cost functiontc=900,000+100qsuppose the market size, s, is 27,000,000, and the elasticity parameter b is 0.003.diagram the price and the average total cost in the market as a function of the number of firms. what are the equations for each curve, and why does each curve slope up or down? label the equilibrium number of firms and the equilibrium price in the diagram. why is this the equilibrium?

Calculate the cost of each capital component—in other words, the after-tax cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock (including flotation costs), and the cost of equity (ignoring flotation costs). use both the capm method and the dividend growth approach to find the cost of equity.calculate the cost of new stock using the dividend growth approach.what is the cost of new common stock based on the capm? (hint: find the difference between re and rs as determined by the dividend growth approach and then add that difference to the capm value for rs.)assuming that gao will not issue new equity and will continue to use the same target capital structure, what is the company’s wacc? e. suppose gao is evaluating three projects with the following characteristics.each project has a cost of $1 million. they will all be financed using the target mix of long-term debt, preferred stock, and common equity. the cost of the common equity for each project should be based on the beta estimated for the project. all equity will come from reinvested earnings.equity invested in project a would have a beta of 0.5 and an expected return of 9.0%.equity invested in project b would have a beta of 1.0 and an expected return of 10.0%.equity invested in project c would have a beta of 2.0 and an expected return of 11.0%.analyze the company’s situation, and explain why each project should be accepted or rejected g
