A firm has provided you with the following information:

Output 30
Variable Cost $1,900
Fixed Cost $120
Marginal Cost $50
Price $50

a. What is the firm's short-run profit if they produce using the MC=MR rule?
b. What is the firm's short-run profit if they produce nothing?
c. What will be the firm's production decision in the short-run?

1. Shutdown
2. Exit
3. Operate

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Output produced = 30 , Price = $50

Total revenue = Output produced * Price = 30 units * $50 = $1,500

Total Cost= Variable cost + Fixed cost = $1900 + 120 = $2020

At profit maximization or loss minimization point, MR = MC.

Corresponding to an output level of 30, MR=MC =$50

Note: Price is constant at $50. So, the marginal revenue will be $50 at each level of output

Profit = Total revenue - Total Cost.

Profit = $1500 - $2020

Profit = -$520.

The firm's short-run profit is -$520 if they produce using MR=MC.

(b) If a firm produces nothing, then a firm has to bear a fixed cost of $120. It means there is a loss of $120 or a profit of -$120. So, short-run profit is -$120 if they produce nothing.

(c) In the short run, if the firm produces then bear a loss of $520. if a firm produces nothing then bear a loss of $120. So, it is better to shut down the production in the short run in order to minimize the loss of the firm.

Which of the following taxes are regressive?
a) A sales tax that adds 5% to the sale of all items
b) The U.S. payroll tax (a constant tax on wages up to a certain amount, after which the marginal tax rate is 0%) is a tax.
c) The U.S. income tax

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

A regressive tax is a tax system where the same tax rate is applied uniformly. As a result, those earning less income are taxed higher than those earning more income.  

Sales tax is an example of a regressive tax.

If sales tax is 5%. Worker A earns $100 and worker B earns $1000. Both buy a good worth $50 before tax.  the sales tax is worth $2.5.

The tax comprises $2,5 / 100 = 2.5% of worker A's income and $2,5 / $1000 = 0.025% of Worker B's income.

It can be seen that worker A who earns less income is taxed higher

Give an example of one good or service produced in the United States using the command model. Justify your example using research (where did you find this).

Answers

Answer:

An example of production under the command system in the United States is that of the production of roads and passable roads throughout the nation. In this case, it is the production of a public service, and as such it is controlled by the government in all stages of its production: from the identification of the need, through the tender, the construction authorization and the supervision of the results, everything is controlled by the government. This implies that individuals or private companies cannot by their own initiative create this type of road, but rather depend exclusively on the will of the government.

B. $93,965
C. $92,460
D. $93,055

Answers

Answer:

A. $91,770

Explanation:

The direct materials in the flexible budget for October:

Cost = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost

Variable Cost = Actual level of activity*Direct material Variable element per unit = 6,650 units * $13.80 = $91,770

Fixed Cost = $0

So, the direct materials in the flexible budget for October = $91,770 + 0 = $91,770.

If the velocity of money is 3 and the amount of narrow money is $1.56 billion, what would be the nominal GDP?

Select one:
a. $8.5 trillion
b. $4.68 billion
c. $4.68 trillion
d. $5.68 billion

= 4.68 billion​

Answers

Answer:

c. $4.68 trillion

Explanation:

Narrow money refers to the physical money coins and notes within an economy. It is a way of measuring the money that is available for immediate spending in the economy.

The velocity of money is the rate at which money circulates in the economy. Therefore, the velocity of money is a measure of the number of times narrow money circulates in the economy per period.

If the velocity of money is 3, narrow money circulates three times,  meaning the value of GDP will be the velocity of money multiplied by narrow money

=3 x 1.56 billion

=4.68 billion

ReNew Corporation raises funds to build renewable energy systems by issuing 3-year bonds with a coupon rate of 5% and a face value of $1,800. Assume that the market interest rate for a 3-year bond issued by a firm like ReNew is currently the same as the coupon rate. The price of each of these bonds is , which means that the bonds sell at .

Answers

Answer:

$1,800

Explanation:

The price of the bond today is the present value of future cash flows, which are the coupon payments and the face value receivable by bondholders at redemption in 3 years.

When a bond has the same coupon rate as the yield, the bond would sell at par which is the $1,800 par value.

This is further affirmed using the formula below:

bond price=face value/(1+r)^n+annual coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n/r

face value=$1,800

r=yield=5%

n=number of annual coupons in 3 years=3

annual coupon=face value*coupon rate=$1800*5%=$90

bond price=$1800/(1+5%)^3+$90*(1-(1+5%)^-3/5%

bond price=$1800/1.05^3+$90*(1-(1.05)^-3/0.05

bond price=$1800/1.157625+$90*(1-0.863838)/0.05

bond price=$1800/1.157625+$90*0.136162/0.05

bond price=$ 1,554.91  +$ 245.09  

bond price=$ 1,800.00

Sally received $78,300 of compensation from her employer and she received $540 of interest from a corporate bond. What is the amount of Sally's gross income from these items?

Answers

Answer: The amount of sally's gross income from these items is $78,300

Explanation:

Information provided from the question;

Amount received from employer as compensation = $78,300

Amount received as interest from a corporate bond = $540

Gross income is defined as the sum of all wages, salaries, profits, interest payments, rents, and other forms of earnings, before any deductions or taxes. However, the interest income earned from municipal bonds is exempted from all federal income taxes regardless of one's tax bracket. Therefore, the amount of Sally's gross income from these items is $78,300

A new machine comes with 200 free service hours over the first year. Additional time costs $180 per hour. What are the average and marginal costs per hour for the following quantities?
a) 125.
b) 225.
c) 325.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0, 0

b) 180 per hour, 20per hour

c) 180 per hour , 69.2 per hour

Explanation:

We are to calculate the average and marginal costs per hour of the given value above

a) Given Number of hours is 125, but we are told that the new machine comes with 200 free service hours over the first year. Then MARGINAL COST= 0 because the service can be equal to 200hours and the given 125 hours is less than that.

then AVERAGE COST = ZERO

(b) we are Given 225 number of hours

Additional time costs is given as $180 per hour.

Then we have $180 per hour as MARGINAL COST.

Total cost can be calculated as

= [$180 × (225 - 200)]

=[ $180 ×25] = $4,500

Average cost can be calculated as

ratio of Total cost to Number of hours i.e $4,500/225

= 20per hour

C)we are Given 325 number of hours

Additional time costs is given as $180 per hour.

Then we have $180 per hour as MARGINAL COST.

Total cost can be calculated as

= [$180 × (235 - 200)]

=[ $180 ×125] = $22,500

Average cost can be calculated as

ratio of Total cost to Number of hours i.e $22,500/325

= 69.2per hour

Required:
a. What number must Warner sell per month to break even?
b. What number must Warner sell per month to make an operating profit of $34,000 and $8,400. Assume that the company plans to sell 9,000 units per month. Consider requirements (b), (c), and (d) independently of each other.
c. What will be the operating profit?
d. What is the impact on operating profit if the sales price decreases by 10 percent? Increases by 20 percent?

Answers

Answer:

a. 5,000 units

b. 8,400 units and 5,840 units

c. $40,000

d. decrease of operating profit by 22.50 % and increase of operating profit by 45.00%

Explanation:

Breakeven point is level at which a firm makes neither profit nor loss

Break even units = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

Break even units = 5,000 units

Units to achieve target profit = Target Profit + Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

Units to achieve profit of $34,000 = 8,400 units

Units to achieve profit of $8,400 = 5,840 units

Operating Profit = Contribution - Fixed Costs

                           = $40,000

The effect on change of operating profit  can be best shown by calculation of the Degree of Operating Leverage (DOL)

DOL = Contribution ÷ Profit

        = 2.25

Sales decreases of 10 percent = decrease of operating profit by 22.50 % (10 % × 2.25)

Sales Increases of 20 percent = increase of operating profit by 45.00%  (20%× 2.25)
