a) At a price $55, the firm would produce ____ units of output. At a price of $120, the firm would produce ____ units of output. At a price of $200, the firm would produce ____ units of output.
b) The per-unit economic profit (or loss) is calculated by subtracting at a particular level of output from the product price. This per-unit economic profit is then multiplied by the number of units of ___ to determine the economic profit for the competitive firm.
i) At the product price of $200, the average total costs are $____, so per-unit economic profit is
$____. Multiplying this amount by the number of units of output results in an economic
profit of $____.
ii) At the product price of $120, the average total costs are $____, so per-unit economic losses are $____. Multiplying this amount by the number of units of output results in an economic loss of $____.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) At a price $55, the firm would produce 3 units of output.

At a price of $120, the firm would produce 6 units of output.

At a price of $200, the firm would produce 7 units of output.

The rule is Price = Marginal Cost for a competitive firm

b) The per-unit economic profit (or loss) is calculated by subtracting ATC at a particular level of output from the product price. This per-unit economic profit is then multiplied by the number of units of output to determine the economic profit for the competitive firm.

i) At the product price of $200, the average total costs are $146 , so per-unit economic profit is $54 . Multiplying this amount by the number of units of output results in an economic profit of $378 .

Explanation:

At P = 200, output produced is 7 units

ATC is $146

Per-unit economic profit = 200 - 146 = $54

Hence, Total economic profit = $54 x 7 = $378

ii) At the product price of $120, the average total costs are $140 , so per-unit economic losses are $ -20. Multiplying this amount by the number of units of output results in an economic loss of $-100.

Explanation: At P = 20, output produced will be 5 units. 6th unit will not be produced as it will result in even greater loss.

Total loss = ($140 - $120) x 5 = $100

Internal rate of return method The internal rate of return method is used by Testerman Construction Co. in analyzing a capital expenditure proposal that involves an investment of $149,630 and annual net cash flows of $45,000 for each of the six years of its useful life. This information has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file. Open the spreadsheet, perform the required analysis, and input your answers in the question below. Open spreadsheet Determine the internal rate of return for the proposal.

Answers

Answer:

Testerman Construction Co.

Internal rate of return method in analyzing capital expenditure:

Present value of expenditure = $149,630

Present of cash inflows annuity = $149,630 (using 20% discount rate and present value annuity factor of 3.3251 x $45,000)

NPV = $0 (PV of cash outflow - PV of cash inflow)

Therefore, the IRR = 20%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Investment cost = $149,630

Annual net cash flows = $45,000

Investment period = 6 years

Annuity of future cash flows = 3.3251

b) Testerman’s IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is a capital budgeting and analysis tool which determines the discount rate that makes the present value of future inflows equal to the present value of outflows from a project.  This IRR helps the managers to determine the projects that add value and are worth undertaking.  IRR is based on assumptions.  Similar projects with the same IRR will differ in returns due to the differences in timing and the size of the cash, the amount of debts and equity used  to generate the returns, and the assumption of a constant reinvestment may which IRR makes.

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

NPV and IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator  

Wind Turbines

Cash flow in year 0 = $-887,600,

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $280,000

I = 6%

NPV = $82,629.57

IRR = 10%

Biofuel Equipment

Cash flow in year 0 =  $-911,100

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $300,000

I = 6%

NPV = $128,431.68

IRR = 12%

present value index = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment)

Wind Turbines  = 1 + ($82,629.57 /  $887,600) = 1.093

Biofuel Equipment = 1 + ($128,431.68 / $911,100) = 1.141

New Morning Bakery is in the process of closing its operations. It sold its two-year-old bakery ovens to Great Harvest Bakery for $580,000. The ovens originally cost $778,000, had an estimated service life of 10 years, and an estimated residual value of $48,000. New Morning Bakery uses the straight-line depreciation method for all equipment. Required: 1. Calculate the balance in the accumulated depreciation account at the end of the second year.

Answers

Answer:

The balance in the accumulated depreciation account at the end of the second year is $146,000.

Explanation:

Straight line method charges a fixed depreciation charge on the asset during its period of use.

Depreciation Expense (Straight line) = Cost - Residual Amount ÷ Estimated Useful life

                                                             = $778,000 - $48,000 ÷ 10

                                                             = $73,000

Therefore, for each year, a depreciation expense of $73,000 is charged to profit an loss.

Maxwell Feed & Seed is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's IRR? Note that a project's projected IRR can be less than the WACC (and even negative), in which case it will be rejected.

Answers

Answer:

13.31%

Explanation:

some information is missing:

Year        Cash flows

0              −$1,100

1                  $450

2                 $470

3                 $490

the easiest way to calculate the IRR is by using a financial calculator, IRR = 13.31%

but if we don't have one at hand, the IRR is the discount rate at which a project's NPV = 0

1,100 = 450/(1 + r) + 470/(1 + r)² + 490/(1 + r)³

to simplify the formula we must use trial and error:

since we already know the real IRR, I will start with a close number like 10%

1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.1) + 470/(1 + 0.1)² + 490/(1 + 0.1)³

1,100 = 409.09 + 388.43 + 368.14

1,100 ≠ 1,165.66

since the NPV is still positive, we must increase the discount rate. following the example we can use 12%

1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.12) + 470/(1 + 0.12)² + 490/(1 + 0.12)³

1,100 = 401.79 + 374.68 + 348.77

1,100 ≠ 1,125.24

we must increase the discount rate even more to 13%

1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.13) + 470/(1 + 0.13)² + 490/(1 + 0.13)³

1,100 = 398.23 + 368.08 + 339.59

1,100 ≠ 1,105.90

we keep increasing the discount rate to 14%

1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.14) + 470/(1 + 0.14)² + 490/(1 + 0.14)³

1,100 = 394.74 + 361.65 + 330.74

1,100 ≠ 1,087.13

since now the NPV is negative, the discount rate must be between 13-14%

we continue this way until we finally reach 13.31%

Answers

Answer:

1. The difference between the total cost and the total variable cost is a constant. - TRUE

The difference between the 2 is indeed constant and is the Total Fixed cost which does not change throughout the production process.

2. When total cost or total variable cost is​ increasing, there are increasing marginal returns to the variable input. - FALSE

With only the total cost or total variable cost given, it is not possible to tell how the Marginal returns to the input is faring.

3. Changes in fixed costs do not affect the shape or placement of the total cost curve. - FALSE

Fixed costs are part of the total cost curve so if they change they will impart the total cost curve. An increase may not change the shape but it will definitely change the placement of the Total cost curve.

4. The marginal cost is the slope of the total cost curve or the total variable cost curve. - TRUE

The slope of either the Total cost or variable cost curves are the graphical representations of a change in either which is the definition of the Marginal cost.

5. The average cost curve is everywhere above the average variable cost curve. - TRUE

A customer buys a new issue municipal bond with a dated date of January 1st, settling on February 1st. The first interest payment is due March 1st. How many days of accrued interest must the customer pay to the underwriter

Answers

Answer: 30 days

Explanation:

30 days is the number of days that accrued interest must be paid to the underwriter.
