Suppose that there are two types of cars, good and bad. The qualities of cars are not observable but are known to the sellers. Risk-neutral buyers and sellers have their own valuation of these two types of cars
Types of Cars Buyers Valuation Seller Valuation
Good (50% probability) 5,000 4,500
Bad ( 50% probability) 3,000 2.500
When a buyer does not observe the quality, what is the highest price she will offer for a used car if she ignores adverse selection?
A. $2,500
B. $3,000
C. $4,000
D. $4,500

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. $4,000

Explanation:

If he buyer does not have complete information about the car's quality, he/she will likely offer the expected value for a car = ($3,000 x 50%) + ($5,000 x 50%) = $4,000 car. In this type of scenarios, sellers of lemons (bad cars) are benefited since they are able to get a higher price, but sellers of goods cars are hurt because buyers assume their cars are bad.

Assume that Clark Electronics has a monopoly in the production and sale of a new device for detecting and destroying a computer virus. Clark Electronics currently incurs short-run losses, but it continues to operate.
a. What must be true for Clark to continue to operate in the short run?
b. Draw a correctly labeled graph, and show each of the following for Clark.
i. The profit-maximizing price and output
ii. Area of loss
C. Assume Clark is maximizing profit. What will happen to its total revenue if Clark raises its price? Explain.
d. If demand for the new device increases, explain what will happen to each of the following in the short run.
i. Profit-maximizing output
ii. Total cost

Answers

Solution :

c. MC=MR is the profit maximizing equilibrium point. The price rise beyond that is likely to raise the total revenue. But the total cost might increase equally or more then that to nullify or decrease the profit.

d. (i). The demand increase implies that the AR (demand) curve shifts rightwards. This will increase the equilibrium price.

(ii). Change in demand does not affect the total cost.

a. Monopoly might continue to produce in short earn even if its AR < AC. It continues to do so until shut down point. It refers that production continued until average revenue (AR) is greater than equal to the average variable cost (AVC). The monopoly is a market with a single seller.

This market's average revenue (AR) demand curve is above its marginal curve . The curves are downward sloping, illustrating price demand inverse relationship.

Equilibrium quantity : when the marginal revenue = marginal cost

Equilibrium price : equilibrium quantity corresponding price at AR (demand ) curve.

Garth Corporation sells a single product. If the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by 10% and fixed expenses do not change, then: Contribution margin per unit Contribution margin ratio Break-even in units A) Increases Increases Decreases B) No change No change No change C) No change Increases No change D) Increases No change Decreases Option C Option B Option D Option A

Answers

Answer:

D) Increases No change Decreases

Explanation:

Contribution margin is Sales less Variable Costs. This will increase if  the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase.

Contribution margin ratio is Contribution expressed as a percentage of Sales. This will stay the same when the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by the same percentage.

Break-even in units is Fixed Costs divided my contribution per unit. This will decrease as the Contribution margin has increased.

A utility company charges less for electricity used during​ "off-peak" hours, when it does not have to operate its​ less-efficient generating plants.

Answers

Answer:

B. A major airline sells tickets to senior citizens at lower prices than to other passengers.

Explanation:

The pricing strategy refers to a strategy where the company charges the different prices for the similar products to the customers

In the case of the pure price discrimination, the seller would charge the price i.e. maximum he or she would have to pay also it is depend upon the specific characteristics and the amount charged to each and every group through a different price

Therefore the option B is correct

On January 1, Year 1, Lowing Company acquired a patent from Generics Research Corporation for $3 million. The legal life of the patent is 20 years, but Lowing expects to use it for 5 years. Pawson Company has committed to purchase the patent from Lowing for $500,000 at the end of that 5-year period. Lowing uses the straight-line method to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives. What is the amount of amortization expense each year

Answers

Answer:

patent amortization expense per year = $500,000 per year

Explanation:

patent amortization expense per year = depreciable value / useful life of the intangible asset

depreciable value = purchase cost - salvage value = $3,000,000 - $500,000 = $2,500,000useful life of the patent = 5 years (the legal life is different than the useful life)

patent amortization expense per year = $2,500,000 / 5 years = $500,000 per year

Diamond and Turf Inc. is considering an investment in one of two machines. The sewing machine will increase productivity from sewing 130 baseballs per hour to sewing 234 per hour. The contribution margin per unit is $0.48 per baseball. Assume that any increased production of baseballs can be sold. The second machine is an automatic packing machine for the golf ball line. The packing machine will reduce packing labor cost. The labor cost saved is equivalent to $26 per hour. The sewing machine will cost $305,500, have an eight-year life, and will operate for 1,400 hours per year. The packing machine will cost $131,800, have an eight-year life, and will operate for 1,200 hours per year.

If Diamond and Turf has sufficient funds for only one of the machines and qualitative factors are equal between the two machines, in which machine should it invest?

Answers

Answer:

A) Sewing machine:

initial outlay = -$305,500

net cash flow per year = (234 baseballs per hour - 130 baseballs per hour) x 1,400 hours x $0.48 per baseball = $69,888

NPV = -$305,500 + ($69,888 x 4.968) = -$305,500 + $347,203.58 = $41,703.58

Packing machine:

initial outlay = -$131,800

net cash flow per year = 1,200 hours x $26 per hour = $31,200

NPV = -$131,800 + ($31,200 x 4.968) = -$131,800 + $155,001.60 = $23,201.60

B) PVI of sewing machine = $347,203.58 / $305,500 = 1.137

PVI of packing machine = $155,001.60 / $131,800 = 1.176

C) They should invest in the packing machine since its PVI is higher, meaning that it increases the company's value by a higher amount per dollar invested.

QS 23-11 Selection of sales mix LO P3 Excel Memory Company can sell all units of computer memory X and Y that it can produce, but it has limited production capacity. It can produce two units of X per hour or three units of Y per hour, and it has 4,700 production hours available. Contribution margin is $6 for product X and $5 for product Y. 1. Calculate contribution margin per production hour. 2. What is the most profitable sales mix for this Company

Answers

Answer:

Contribution margin per production hour

Product X = $12

Product Y = $15

Explanation:

Part 1

Contribution margin per production hour

Contribution margin per production hour = Contribution ÷ Time to produce one product

Therefore,

Product X =  $6 ÷ 0.5

                 = $12

Product Y =  $5 ÷ 0.33

                 = $15

Part 2

The Demand Units of Product X and Product Y are missing so the calculation of profitable sales mix is impossible.

This mix would have been calculated by :

Manufacturing all the units of Product Y since Y has the highest contribution margin per production hour (demand for Y × hours required per unit)With the remainder of hours out of 4,700 after producing all of Product Y demand, we would then produce Product X.

Target common equity weight: 80 percent
Target debt weight: 20 percent
Cost of equity: 15 percent
Cost of debt: 5 percent
Tax rate: 35 percent
A) WACC = 12.65 percent
B) WACC = 8.45 percent
C) WACC = 13.00 percent

Answers

Answer: A) WACC = 12.65 percent

Explanation:

WACC = (Cost of equity * weight of equity) + (weight of debt * cost of debt * (1 - tax rate)

= (0.15 * 0.8) + (0.2 * 0.05 * (1 - 0.35))

= 0.12 + 0.0065

(ID#19361)
What were Sraibn271 Corporation's common fixed expenses?
a) $131,450
b) $43,650
c) $51,000
d) $94,650

Answers

Answer: b) $43,650

Explanation:

Contribution margin of Domestic division + contribution margin of Foreign division - traceable fixed cost - common fixed cost = Net operating income for company

46,400 + (0.35 * 243,000) - 51,000 - Common = 36,800

80,450 - Common = 36,800

Common = 80,450 - 36,800

= $43,650

Problems and Applications Q4 Suppose that the government imposes a tax on heating oil. True or False: The deadweight loss from this tax would likely be larger in the fifth year after it is imposed than in the first year as demand for heating oil becomes more elastic. True False The tax revenue collected from a tax on heating oil is likely to be in the first year after it is imposed than in the fifth year.

Answers

Answer:

TrueTrue

Explanation:

The deadweight loss in the fifth year will indeed be higher in the fifth year than in the first because deadweight loss has been shown to increase with elasticity.

As demand becomes more elastic as a result of the oil becoming more expensive, tax revenue will decrease in future which means that tax revenue will be less in five years than in the first.

You want to be a millionaire when you retire in 40 years. a. How much do you have to save each month if you can earn an annual return of 9.7 percent

Answers

Answer:

the amount that saved each month is $173.21

Explanation:

The computation of the amount that saved each month is as follows:

Here we use the PMT formula

Given that

NPER = 40 × 12 =  480

PMT = 9.7% ÷ 12 = 0.81%

PV = $0

FV = $1,000,000

The formula is shown below:

= PMT(RATE;NPER;PV;-FV;TYPE)

The future value comes in negative

After applying the above formula, the pmt is $173.21

Hence, the amount that saved each month is $173.21
