a. faces a perfectly elastic demand curve for its product.

b. will always be able to earn more profit when it raises price.

c. will always earn economic profit, no matter what the level of demand for its product.

d. can influence the price of its product by controlling output

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of a monopoly is a utility company

A natural monopoly occurs due to the high start-up costs or a large economies of scale.

Natural monopolies are usually the only company providing a service in a particular region  

Characteristics of natural monopolies  

1. they have a large fixed cost  

2. The firms have a low marginal cost

3. They occur naturally through the free market. It does not occur by government regulation or any other force

The demand curve for a pure monopoly is usually inelastic.

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

A monopoly can can influence the price of its product by controlling output

A monopoly will not always earn economic profit no matter the level of output

Barney Company makes and sells stuffed animals. One product, Michael Bears, sells for $28 per bear. Michael Bears have fixed costs of $100,000 per month and a variable cost of $12 per bear. How many Michael Bears must be produced and sold each month to break even

Answers

Answer:

6,250 units

Explanation:

The computation of the number of units that should be sold and produced in order to break even is shown below:

as we know that

Break even point = Fixed cost ÷Contribution margin per unit

Here

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price - Variable costs

= $28 - $12

= $16

So, the breakeven is

= $100,000 ÷ $16

= 6,250 units

Selected sales and operating data for three divisions of different structural engineering firms aregiven as follows: Division A Division B Division C Sales $ 6,900,000 10,900,000 10,000,000 Average operating assets 1,725,000 5,450,000 2,500,000 Net operating income 414,000 1,090,000 325,000 Minimum required rate of return19.00 % 20.00 % 16.00 % A. Compute the return on investment (ROI) for each division using the formula stated in terms of margin and turnover. B. Compute the residual income (loss) for each division.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

A.

Return on investment = Margin × Turnover

Now

= (Net operating income ÷Sales) × (Sales ÷ Average operating assets)

Division A = ($414,000 ÷ $6,900,000) × ($6,900,000 ÷ $1,725,000)

= 6% × 4

= 24.00%

Division B = ($1,090,000 ÷ $10,900,000) × ($10,900,000 ÷ $5,450,000)

= 10% × 2

= 20.00%

Division C = ($325,000 ÷ $10,000,000) × ($10,000,000 ÷ $2,500,000)

= 3.25 × 4

= 13.00%

B.  

Residual Income = Net operating income - (Minimum required rate of return × Average operating assets)

Division A = $414,000 - (19% × $1,725,000)

= $414,000 - $327,750

= $86,250

Division B = $1,090,000 - (20% × $5,450,000)

= $1,090,000 - $1,090,000

= $0

Division C = $325,000 - (16% × $2,500,000)

= $325,000 - $400,000

= ($75,000)

MC Qu. 131 At Midland Company's break-even point... At Midland Company's break-even point of 9,000 units, fixed costs are $180,000 and variable costs are $540,000 in total. The unit sales price is:

Answers

Answer:

selling price per unit = $80

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Company's break-even point of 9,000 units

Fixed costs are $180,000

Total variable costs= $540,000

First, we will calculate the unitary variable cost:

Unitary variable cost= 540,000 / 9,000

Unitary variable cost= $60

Now, the unitary selling price, using the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

9,000 = 180,000 / (selling price per unit - 60)

9,000selling price per unit - 540,000 = 180,000

9,000selling price per unit = 180,000 + 540,000

9,000selling price per unit = 720,000

selling price per unit = 720,000/9,000

selling price per unit = $80

Answer:

$80

Explanation:

The first step is to find the variable cost

= 540,000/9000

= 60

Therefore the unit sales price can be calculated as follows

= 180,000/90,000+60

= 20+60

= $80

Hence the unit sales price is $80

Correll Company, which operates a mail-order clothing business, is physically located in State L. This year, the firm shipped $18 million of merchandise to customers in State R. State R imposes a 6 percent sales and use tax on the purchase and consumption of retail goods within the state.

Required:
a. Do State R residents who purchased Firm L merchandise owe use tax on their purchases?
b. If State R could legally require Firm L to collect a 6 percent tax on mail-order sales made to residents of the state, how much additional revenue would the state collect? Explain the reasoning behind your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Correll Company

a. Yes State R residents who purchased Firm L (out-of-state) merchandise owe use tax on their purchases.

b. State R would collect $1,080,000 additional revenue ($18 million * 6%) if Correll was required to collect the use tax at the point of sale and then remit the tax collected to State R.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of merchandise to customers in State R = $18 million

State R's sales and use tax on the purchase and consumption of retail goods within the state = 6%

Amount that Correll could collect for State R = $1,080,000 ($18 million * 6%)

b) Note that Correll (Firm L) collecting the State R use tax does not affect State R residents' legal liability to pay the use tax.  Unfortunately, not many people actually remit their self-assessed use tax.

"How would you need to shift the supply and demand curves in a market to result in a situation where equilibrium quantity increases while the equilibrium price change is indeterminate?"

Answers

Answer:

the demand and supply curve shift outward / to the right

Explanation:

Only a change in the price of a good leads to a movement along the demand curve of that good. Also, only a change in the price of the good would lead to an increase or decrease in the quantity demanded of that good.

Other factors other than the change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the demand curve. Some of those factors include :

1. a change in consumers' expectation

2. a change in the taste of consumers

3. a change in income

A change in price of a good leads to a movement along the supply curve and not a shift of the supply curve.

Other factors other than a change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the supply curve. Such factors include :  

1. A change in the price of input  

2. A change in the number of suppliers  

3. Government regulations  

If the demand curve for a good shifts outward as a result of an increase in demand. Equilibrium price and quantity would increase.

If the supply curve for a good shifts outward as a result of an increase in supply, equilibrium price decreases and quantity increases.

Taking these two effects together, there would be an increase in equilibrium quantity while the equilibrium price change is indeterminate

A monopolist that practices perfect price discrimination:_________.
A. charges each consumer the rnaximum price the consumer is willing to pay.
B. drives consumer surplus to zero
C. produces the perfectly competitive level of output.
D. All of the above are correct.
E. Only A and B are correct.

Answers

Answer:

D. All of the above are correct.

Explanation:

A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes. Any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market is generally referred to as a monopolist.

For example, a public power company is an example of a monopoly because they serve as the only source of power utility provider to the general public in a society.

Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services.

In sales and marketing, pricing of products is considered to be an essential element of a business firm's marketing mix because place, promotion and product largely depends on it.

Price discrimination refers to the situation in which a business firm sells an identical product to different consumers at different selling price based on reasons that are not in any way associated or related with its manufacturing cost.

Hence, a monopolist that practices perfect price discrimination:

A. Charges each consumer the maximum price the consumer is willing to pay.

B. Drives consumer surplus to zero

C. Produces the perfectly competitive level of output.

Answer:

D. All of the above are correct.

Explanation:

Producer surplus directly measures a. the well-being of buyers and sellers. b. the well-being of society as a whole. c. the well-being of sellers. d. sellers' willingness to sell.

Answers

Answer:

c. the well-being of sellers.

Explanation:

A surplus is the amount by which the quantity supplied of a good exceeds the quantity demanded of the good.

Producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.

On the other hand, consumer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the amount the buyer actually pays for it.

Hence, an export subsidy will increase producer surplus.

In conclusion, producer surplus directly measures the well-being of sellers.

3.How does the theory of efficient production apply to managers of government bureaus or departments that are not run for profit

Answers

Answer:

The theory of efficient production applies to managers of government bureaus or departments that are not run for profit in the following way:

1. The theory helps them to ensure that production resources are optimally allocated to generate value.

2. The theory emphasizes that wastages must be minimized.

3. Efficiency also ensures that processes, policies, and programs are carried out at the right time on each occasion.

Explanation:

Government bureaus or departments require to make decisions about the resources that they require for government services and the value of the output of these services to the public.  The managers ensure that costs are not so much greater than the value created from deploying scarce resources. The best allocation of resources must always be decided to achieve value for money.

The neoclassical view holds that long-term expansion of potential GDP due to _______________________ will determine ____________________. Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

economic growth; the size of the economy.

Explanation:

Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a measure of the total market value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period.

Simply stated, GDP is a measure of the total income of all individuals in an economy and the total expenses incurred on the economy's output of goods and services in a particular country. Also, Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a measure of the production levels of any nation.

Basically, the four (4) major expenditure categories of GDP are consumption (C), investment (I), government purchases (G), and net exports (N).

The new classical theory also known as the neoclassical economic theory is one that repudiates and tends to restructure the John M. Keynes theory of macroeconomics, popularly referred to as the Keynesian Macroeconomics theory.

The new classical theory argues that efficient demand and supply is the most important feature or key behind the level of output, pricing, and consumption of goods and services by the people at a specific period of time in a country. Also, the new classical theory assumes that the wages of the employees in a country is flexible in contrast to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory.

The neoclassical view posits that long-term expansion of potential Gross Domestic Products (GDP) due to economic growth will significantly determine the size of a country's economy.

However, the economy cannot sustain production above its potential Gross Domestic Products (GDP) in the long run.

A distinguishing characteristic of the neoclassical view from other economic theory such as the Keynesian Macroeconomics theory, is flexibility of wages and prices over time.

Answers

Answer:

A. Contradicted the Heckscher-Ohlin theory as the United States was relatively capital-abundant.

Explanation:

When Wassily Leontief tested the predictions of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory, he found that in 1947 the United States was exporting relatively labor-intensive goods and importing relatively capital-intensive goods. This finding: "Contradicted the Heckscher-Ohlin theory as the United States was relatively capital-abundant."

This is because Heckscher-Ohlin theory states that countries usually export commodities, and resources they have in excess, while in return, they import the commodities and resources they need.

However, given that the United States is a country that was relatively capital-abundant, Wassily Leontief's finding is considered to be a contradiction.
