Suppose that you can sell as much of a product (in integer units) as you like at $68 per unit. Your marginal cost (MC) for producing the qth unit is given by: MC = 9q. This means that each unit costs more to produce than the previous one (e.g., the first unit costs 9*1, the second unit (by itself) costs 9*2, etc.). If fixed costs are $60, what is the optimal output level?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

8 units

Explanation:

P = $68 per unit

MC = 9q

Fixed cost = $60

It is noted that seller can sell as much as a product at $68 per unit. This means that the firm is price taken, hence, it is case of perfect competition.

For a perfectly competitive firm, the optimal output is at: P = MC

i.e. 68 = 9q

=> q = 68/9

=> q = 7.556

> q = 8

So, the optimal output level is 8 units.

Trudeau’s Body Shop incurs total costs given by TC = 2,400 + 100 Q. If the price it charges for a paint job is $120, what is its break-even level of output?

Answers

Answer:

The break-even level of output is 120 units.

Explanation:

Since Total Cost formula is provided, we can use elements contained in the formulae to determine the break-even level of output.

The  break-even level of output is the level of activity where a firm makes neither a Profit nor a Loss. In other words, Profit = $0

Step 1 : Collect data

So given :

TC = 2,400 + 100 Q

This means :

Fixed Costs = $2,400

Variable Costs = $100 per unit

Additional Information gives :

Selling Price per unit =  $120

Step 2 : Determine the break-even level of output

Break even (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

where,

Contribution per unit = Selling Price - Variable Cost

                                   = $20

thus,

Break even (units) = $2,400 ÷ $20

                              = 120 units

Conclusion :

The break-even level of output is 120 units.

Calculate the ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO, LIFO and average-cost methods. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
FIFO LIFO Average Cost
$____ $____ $_______

Answers

Answer:

a. Weighted-average unit cost = $9.092

b. We have:

Ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO method = $290

Ending inventory at May 31 using the LIFO method = $232

Ending inventory at May 31 using the average-cost method = $264

Explanation:

a. Calculate the weighted-average unit cost. (Round answer to 3 decimal places, e.g. 5.125.)

Weighted-average unit cost = Total Cost of units of inventory available for sale / Total units of units of inventory available for sale = $891 / 98 = $9.092

b. Calculate the ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO, LIFO and average-cost methods. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)

Ending inventory in units = Total units of units of inventory available for sale – Units sold = 98 - 69 = 29

Therefore, we have:

Ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO method = Ending inventory in units * Unit cost of purchases on May 24 = 29 * $10 = $290

Ending inventory at May 31 using the LIFO method = Ending inventory in units * Unit cost of inventory on May 1 = 29 * $8 = $232

Ending inventory at May 31 using the average-cost method = Ending inventory in units * Weighted-average unit cost = 29 * $9.092 = $264

1. Daesun pays Awesome Foods Market $1,100 to cater his daughter's engagement party. He's attracted by Awesome Foods Market's guarantee that he'll be happy with the catering, or he'll get his money back.
2. Awesome Foods Market pays JoAnn's Catering $950 to cater the party.
3. JoAnn's Catering buys plasticware worth $200 from Kostko.

Required:
Compute contributions to GDP, using the expenditure approach.

Answers

Answer:

Only the amount spent by Manuel would be in included in the calculation of GDP

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export

Net export = exports – imports

When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.  

Consumption spending includes spending by households on goods and services. Consumption spending includes :  

spending on durables - e.g. laptop  

spending on nondurables - e.g. clothes, food

spending on services  - e.g. payment of hospital bill  

the purchase of a textbook by a student is an example of consumption spending on durable goods

Investment - It includes purchases of goods and services made by businesses in the production of goods and services

the airplane purchased by the airline would be used to provide services for airline customers. Also, the packing boxes bought by Amazon would be used in delivering goods to customers  

Government spending - It includes government consumption expenditure and gross investment.  The purchase of a new  limousine for the president is an example of consumption expenditure

Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:  

1. services not rendered to oneself

2. Activities not reported to the government  

3. illegal activities

4. sale or purchase of used products

5. sale or purchase of intermediate products

a. Recording depreciation expense
b. Declaration of a cash dividend
c. Write-off of an uncollectible account receivable
d. Payment of an accounts payable

Yum Foods recently merged with Clean Plates. Which of the following activities should HR perform after the integration process?
A) It should assess the risks involved with the merger.
B) It should retain key talent.
C) It should identify and establish a new culture.
D) It should conduct due diligence.

Answers

I think is A. It should assess the risks involved with the merger

The HR should identify and establish a new culture after the integration process.

Merging of business establishments or companies mean the coming together or acquiring of one company by another. In short, it is when two or multiple companies join to form a single business.

In the given scenario, Yum Foods and Clean Plates are two business enterprises that have their separate ideas and policies. But when they merge, that means such individualistic ideas and concepts can no longer be retained or followed. To accommodate the two businesses, the HR team must find new ideas and policies that can work for the newly merged business.

When two or more companies join to form a single company, it is always necessary to make new changes in the concepts and work culture. This is also what HR should do in the merger of Yum Foods and Clean Plates. Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Suppose a third firm enters the market. If they all don't cheat, then they split the profits three ways so that each firm gets 2 million. If one firm cheats, he steals profits from the other two firms and earns 5.5 million while the other firms incur losses of 1 million. Will it be harder or easier to sustain cooperation?

Answers

Answer: Harder to sustain cooperation

Explanation:

When the number of firms in an oligopolistic market increases as is the case here, cooperation becomes harder because profits become smaller so companies start to become more selfish.

Also in this scenario, the cheating firm has the incentive to do so because the profit is so much higher than sharing so companies will always be looking to cheat in order to make this profit. The other firms would reply by reducing prices and all of them would suffer.

If the total costs of producing 1,500 units of output is $13,500 and this output sold to consumers for a total of $18,000, then the firm would earn economic profits of

Answers

Answer:

$4500

Explanation:

The Economic profit is the difference between the total revenue and the explicit and implicit cost.

Hence,

Economic profit = (Total revenue - explicit cost - implicit cost)

Explicit cost =$13500

Total revenue = $18,000

Since, implicit cost isn't given, implicit cost will be taken as zero

Hence,

Economic profit = ($18,000 - $13,500)

Economic profit = $4,500

Consider two college roommates, one who smokes and one who does not. The smoker wishes to smoke in the room, and the nonsmoker dislikes smoking in the room. Suppose the smoker would be willing to pay $500 to be allowed to smoke in the room during the semester, and the nonsmoker would be willing to pay $600 to keep the room smoke-free. What should happen in the socially optimal outcome

Answers

Answer:

The socially optimal outcome is that there will be no smoking in the room.

Explanation:

The above answer is  based on the willingness of the nonsmoker to ensure that no smoking happens in the room.  For instance, the nonsmoker can pay off the smoker, paying $600 to dissuade him from smoking in the room. On the contrary, the smoker is only willing to cough out $500, which is less than $600, in order to smoke in the room. Under social optimality, the nonsmoker wins this game.

A company has an overhead application rate of 124% of direct labor costs. How much overhead would be allocated to a job if it required total labor costing $24,000?

Answers

Answer:

$29,760

Explanation:

Overhead application rate = 124% of direct labor cost

The required total labor costing = $24,000

Total overhead applied = Overhead application rate *  $24,000

Total overhead applied = 124% * $24000

Total overhead applied = $29,760

Thirty years ago, the original owner of Greenacre, a lot contiguous to Blueacre, in fee simple, executed and delivered to his neighbor an instrument in writing which was denominated "Deed of Conveyance." In pertinent part it read, "[The owner] does grant to [the neighbor] and her heirs and assigns a right-of-way for egress and ingress to Blueacre." If the quoted provision was sufficient to create an interest in land, the instrument met all other requirements for a valid grant. The neighbor held record title in fee simple to Blueacre, which adjoined Greenacre. Twelve years ago the owner's son succeeded to the original owner's title in fee simple in Greenacre and seven years ago the neighbor's daughter succeeded to the neighbor's title in fee simple to Blueacre by a deed which made no mention of a right-of-way or driveway. At the time the neighbor's daughter took title, there existed a driveway across Greenacre which showed evidence that it had been used regularly to travel between the main road and Blueacre. Blueacre did have frontage on a side road, but this means of access was seldom used because it was not as convenient to the dwelling situated on Blueacre as was the main road. The driveway originally was established by the neighbor. The neighbor's daughter has regularly used the driveway since acquiring title. The period of time required to acquire rights by prescription in the jurisdiction is ten years. Six months ago the son notified the neighbor's daughter that the son planned to develop a portion of Greenacre as a residential subdivision and that the daughter should cease any use of the driveway. After some negotiations, the son offered to permit the daughter to construct another driveway to connect with the streets of the proposed subdivision. The daughter declined this offer on the ground that travel from Blueacre to the main road would be more circuitous. The neighbor's daughter brought an appropriate action against the son to obtain a definitive adjudication of the respective rights of the daughter and the son. In such lawsuit the son relied upon the defense that the location of the easement created by the grant from the original owner to the neighbor was governed by reasonableness and that the son's proposed solution was reasonable.

The son's defense should:____________

Answers

Answer: Son's argument should fail

Explanation:

The son's defense will fail because the location of the easement is not governed by reasonableness as it had been established at its current location by the neighbor.

It can not now be changed arbitrarily by the son because the original owner had allowed it to be built. The easement's location is therefore established by actions between the original owner and the neighbor and so it is a binding location.

Bims Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The Assembly Department started the month with 2,400 units in its beginning work in process inventory that were 70% complete with respect to conversion costs. An additional 62,000 units were transferred in from the prior department during the month to begin processing in the Assembly Department. There were 20,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Assembly Department that were 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. What were the equivalent units for conversion costs in the Assembly Department for the month

Answers

Answer:

56,400 units

Explanation:

The computation of the equivalent units for conversion costs in the Assembly Department is given below:

But the transferred units is

=  Beginning work in process inventory units + additional units - ending work in process inventory units

= 2,400 units + 62,000 units - 20,000 units

= 44,400 units

Now the equivalent units for conversion costs equal to

=  Transferred units × percentage of completion + ending work in process inventory units × percentage of completion

= 44,400 units × 100% + 20,000 units ×60%

= 44,400 units + 12,000 units

= 56,400 units

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the effect on net income will be :

Effect on net income = (15,000 x $3.50) – ($2.50x 15,000)

Effect on net income = $52,500-$37,500

Effect on net income = $15,000 Increase

Therefore If Bluebird accepts this additional business , the effect on net income will be :$15,000 Increase

Investment A cost 12,000 today and it pays back 15,500 two years from now. Investment B cost $8,000 today and it pays back $6,000 each year for two years. If Interest of 5% is used, which alternate is superior? (Hint: Use present worth your cost is negative and your profits are positive) Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

Investment "B" is superior.

Explanation:

Below is the calculation of each investment net present worth.

Net present worth of Investment A = -12000 + 15500(P/F, 5%, 2)

Net present worth of investment A = -12000 + 15500 (0.9070)

Net present worth of investment A = 2058.95

Net present worth of Investment B = -8000+ 6000(P/A, 5%, 2)

Net present worth of investment B = -8000 + 6000 (1.8594)

Net present worth of investment B = 3156.4

Investment "B" is superior because its net present worth is greater.

If elasticity of demand is 0.6, elasticity of supply is 0.6, and a 20% excise tax is levied on the good:________a. The fraction of the tax borne by consumers will be 0.5. b. The fraction of the tax borne by suppliers will be 0.6 c. The fraction of the tax borne by consumers will be 0.6. d. The fraction of the tax borne by suppliers will be 0.3.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option a. The fraction of the tax borne by consumers will be 0.5.

Explanation:

The tax burden is determined by the supply and demand price elasticity. Consumers bear the burden of the tax more than the suppliers when supply is more elastic than demand. When demand is more elastic than supply, the tax burden falls more on suppliers than consumers. When demand elasticity and supply elasticity are identical, the tax burden is shared equally by consumers and suppliers.

From the question, we have:

Elasticity of demand = Elasticity of supply = 0.6

Since demand elasticity and supply elasticity are identical, the burden of 20% excise tax is shared equally by consumers and suppliers. That 50% by 50%, or 0.5 by 0.5.

Therefore, the correct option a. The fraction of the tax borne by consumers will be 0.5.
