Answer:
7.5 to 467.5.
Explanation:
Please note that In order to be fast, I make use of excel during the Calculation.
So, the first thing to do is to make sure that the observation is arranged in an increasing order.
Step one: Calculate the value for J1 and J3.
Know that J1 = J3. Where J3 = 3rd quartile.
Hence, J1 = 1st QUARTILE = QUARTILE. EXC (data, 1) = 18.
Also, J3 = QUARTILE. EXC(data, 3). = 29.5.
Therefore, the difference between the first quartile and the third QUARTILE = 29.5 - 18 = 11.5.
Step two: calculate the value for the higher fence and the lower fence respectively.
Thus, for the higher fence we have;
J3 + 1.5( 11.5).
= 29.5 + 1.5(11.5).
= 46.75.= (46.75 × 10) = 467.5).
Then, for the lower fence;
J1 - 1.5( 11.5).
= 18 - 1.5(11.5).
= 0.75 = (.75 × 10) = 7.5.
The following costs are included in a recent summary of data for a company: advertising expense, $85,000; depreciation expense - factory building, $133,000; direct labor, $250,000; direct material used, $300,000; factory utilities, $105,000; and sales salaries expense, $150,000. Determine the dollar amount of conversion costs.
Answer:
Conversion costs= $488,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
depreciation expense - factory building, $133,000
direct labor, $250,000
factory utilities, $105,000
The conversion costs are the sum of direct labor and manufacturing overhead.
Manufacturing overhead= 133,000 + 105,000= 238,000
Direct labor= 250,000
Conversion costs= $488,000

Assume that at the end of 2019, Clampett, Inc. (an S corporation) distributes property (fair market value of $40,000, basis of $5,000) to each of its four equal shareholders (aggregate distribution of $160,000). At the time of the distribution, Clampett, Inc., has no corporate earnings and profits and J.D. has a basis of $50,000 in his Clampett, Inc., stock. What is J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution
Answer:
J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution is $85,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution we would have to use the following formula:
J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution=original basis +increase/decrease in basis from gain from property distribution
original basis=$50,000
basis from gain from property distribution=$40,000-$5,000
basis from gain from property distribution=$35,000
Therefore, J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution=$50,000+$35,000
J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution=$85,000
The manufacturing overhead budget at Cutchin Corporation is based on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 2,800 direct labor-hours will be required in September. The variable overhead rate is $7.00 per direct labor-hour. The company’s budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $43,120 per month, which includes depreciation of $3,640. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The September cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:
Answer:
$59,080
Explanation:
The calculation of September cash disbursements is shown below:-
September cash disbursement = Company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead - Depreciation + Variable manufacturing overhead
= $43,120 - $3,640 + $7.00 × 2,800
= $43,120 - $3,640 + $19,600
= $62,720 - $3,640
= $59,080
Therefore for computing the September cash disbursement we simply applied the above formula.
Colil Computer Systems, Inc., manufactures printer circuit cards. All direct materials are added at the inception of the production process. During January, the accounting department noted that there was no beginning inventory. Direct materials of $ 300 comma 000 were used in production during the month. Workminusinminusprocess records revealed that 12 comma 500 card units were started in January, 6 comma 250 card units were complete, and 4 comma 000 card units were spoiled as expected. Ending workminusinminusprocess card units are complete in respect to direct materials costs. Spoilage is not detected until the process is complete. What is the direct material cost assigned to good units completed? A. $ 258 comma 621 B. $ 150 comma 000 C. $ 96 comma 000 D. $ 246 comma 000
Answer:
D. $246,000
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of direct material cost assigned to good units completed is provided below:-
To reach Cost transferred out we need to follow some steps which is following below:-
Step 1. Cost per unit = cost of material used ÷ Units started
= $300,000 ÷ 12,500
= $24
Now,
Step 2. Goods units completed = Started units × Cost per unit
= 6,250 × $24
= $150,000
Step 3. Normal spoilage = Cards units × Cost per unit
= 4,000 × $24
= $96,000
and finally
Cost transferred out = Goods units completed + Normal spoilage
= $150,000 + $96,000
= $246,000
To reach allocation of Cost transferred out we simply put the values into formula.
Hancock Medical Supply Co., earned $90,500 of revenue on account during Year 1, its first year of operation. During Year 1, Hancock collected $71,400 of cash from its receivables accounts. The company did not write-off any uncollectible accounts. It estimates that it will be unable to collect 1% of revenue on account. What is the net realizable value of receivables that will be reported on the balance sheet at December 31, Year 1
Answer:
$18,195
Explanation:
The computation of the net realizable value is shown below:
As we know that
Net Realizable Value of Receivables = Ending Accounts Receivable - Estimated Uncollectibles amount
where,
Ending balance of Accounts Receivable is
= Revenue on Account - Accounts collected
= $90,500 - $71,400
= $191,00
And,
Estimated Uncollectibles i.e Bad debt Expense is
= Revenue on Account × given percentage
= $90,500 × 1%
= $905
So, the net realizable value is
= $19,100 - $905
= $18,195
We simply applied the above formula

The following cost data relate to the manufacturing activities of Chang Company during the just completed year: Manufacturing overhead costs incurred: Indirect materials $ 16,000 Indirect labor 140,000 Property taxes, factory 9,000 Utilities, factory 80,000 Depreciation, factory 251,500 Insurance, factory 11,000 Total actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred $ 507,500 Other costs incurred: Purchases of raw materials (both direct and indirect) $ 410,000 Direct labor cost $ 70,000 Inventories: Raw materials, beginning $ 21,000 Raw materials, ending $ 31,000 Work in process, beginning $ 41,000 Work in process, ending $ 71,000 The company uses a predetermined overhead rate of $25 per machine-hour to apply overhead cost to jobs. A total of 20,700 machine-hours were used during the year. Required: 1. Compute the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead cost for the year. 2. Prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured for the year.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of given question is shown below:-
The difference between the actual accumulated manufacturing overhead and the applied overhead measured on the basis of actual activity carried out at standard cost is the overhead expense under or over applied.
When applied overheads, the overheads are considered underapplied less than the actual overhead.
When overheads are applied, the overheads are considered overapplied higher than the real overhead.
So, we need to compute the applied overhead to find out the under or over applied overhead.
Applied Manufacturing Overhead = Total Machine Hours actually recorded × Predetermined Overhead Rate
= 20,700 MHs × $25
= $517,500
As we can see that the applied overheads are greater than the actual incurred overhead, so, Overheads are overapplied.
Over-Applied Overhead Cost = Applied Overhead – Actual Overhead
= 517,500 – 507,500
= $10,000

In 2017, Cullumber Corporation incurred research and development costs as follows: Materials and equipment $111000 Personnel 131000 Indirect costs 171000 $413000 These costs relate to a product that will be marketed in 2018. It is estimated that these costs will be recouped by December 31, 2020. The equipment has no alternative future use. What is the amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017
Answer:
The amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017 is $413,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017 we would have to use the following formula:
amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017= Materials and equipment costs+ Personnel costs+Indirect costs
amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017= $111,000+ $131,000+$171,000
amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017=$413,000
The amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017 is $413,000
The amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2020
$ 99000 + $ 119000 + $ 159000

Pharoah Company has had 4 years of record earnings. Due to this success, the market price of its 500,000 shares of $4 par value common stock has increased from $15 per share to $55. During this period, paid-in capital remained the same at $6,000,000. Retained earnings increased from $4,500,000 to $30,000,000. CEO Don Ames is considering either (1) a 15% stock dividend or (2) a 2-for-1 stock split. He asks you to show the before-and-after effects of each option on (a) retained earnings, (b) total stockholders’ equity, and (c) par value per share.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
1) 15% Stock Dividend-
Retained Earnings = Increase Value of Retained Earnings - (Total Shares × 15% Stock Dividend × Increase Value of Per Share)
= $30,000,000 - (500,000 × 15% × $55)
= $30,000,000 - $4,125,000
= $25,875,000
2) 2-for-1 stock split-
Retained earnings = $30,000,000
The 2-for-1 stock split will not impact retained earnings.
a and b) The before, after effects of each option are shown in the attachment below
c) Par value per share
Par value per share of stock dividend = $4
Par value per share of 2-for-1 stock split = $4 ÷ 2 = $2
According to the analysis, stock dividend will not make any impact.
Matt and Joel are equal partners in the MJ Partnership. For the current year ended December 31, the partnership has book income of $80,000, which includes the following deductions: (1) guaranteed payments (salaries) to partners: Matt, $35,000; and Joel, $25,000; and (2) charitable contributions, $6,000. The book income amount does not include any sales of capital assets or Sec. 1231 assets or any taxminusexempt income. Based on the above information, what amount should be reported as ordinary income on the partnership return?
Answer:
$86,000
Explanation:
A partnership is a pass through entity that is not taxed directly, but instead its partners are taxed. Even the partners' salaries are recorded as drawings, not salary expense.
The partnership's total ordinary income = book income + any donations or contributions to charities = $80,000 + $6,000 = $86,000
The following units of an item were available for sale during the year: Beginning inventory 8,100 units at $180 Sale 5,300 units at $300 First purchase 15,000 units at $185 Sale 13,000 units at $300 Second purchase 16,000 units at $192 Sale 14,000 units at $300 The firm uses the perpetual inventory system, and there are 6,800 units of the item on hand at the end of the year. a. What is the total cost of the ending inventory according to FIFO? $ b. What is the total cost of the ending inventory according to LIFO?
Answer:
a. $1,305,600
b. $1,258,000
Explanation:
FIFO - Assumes that the first goods received by the business will be first ones to be delivered to the final customer
FIFO Inventory = 6,800 units × $ 192 = $1,305,600
LIFO - Assumes that the last goods purchased are the first ones to be issued to the final customer
LIFO Inventory = 2,800 units × $180 = $ 504,000
2,000 units × $185 = $ 370,000
2,000 units × $ 192 = $ 384,000
Total = $1,258,000
elb Company currently manufactures 50,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $2.95 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $67,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $61,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.90 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 50,000 units and buying 50,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
Incremental Cost of Making Product
Variable costs are $2.95 per unit and 50,000 units are to be made. Total Variable Cost is therefore,
= 2.95 * 50,000
= $147,500
Fixed costs associated with the production are$ 67,000 so added tl the variable costs is,
= 147,500 + 67,000
= $214,500
$214,500 is the cost making the product.
Cost of Buying Product
Component can be bought for $3.90 per unit. 50,000 units to be bought gives,
= 50,000 * 3.9
= $195,000
Cost of buying is $195,000
Decision
Company should buy the component as it spends less in buying it than I making it.
Note - Allocated fixed costs were not included in calculation because they will be there regardless of the decision. Hence the term, incremental costs.
Answer:
elb Company
a) Incremental Cost of making 50,000 units:
Variable costs = $2.95 x 50,000 = $147,500
Avoidable fixed costs = $67,000
Total = $214,500
b) Incremental Cost of buying 50,000
Buy-in costs =- $3.90 x 50,000 = $195,000
c) The company should buy this component from the outside supplier.
Explanation:
In make or buy decisions, only variable and avoidable costs are taken into consideration. Unavoidable fixed costs are sunk costs which must be incurred irrespective of the choice made.
Therefore, the unavoidable allocated fixed costs of $61,500 should not be taken into consideration. Afterall, no matter the decision, it would still be incurred and allocated.

Suppose that you are the international treasurer of Apple with an extra U.S. $10 million to invest for 9 months. You are considering the purchase of U.S. T-bills that yield 1.50% annual rate. The spot exchange rate is $1.00 = ¥100, and the 9 month forward rate is $1.00 = ¥110. What must the interest rate in Japan be before you are willing to consider investing there for 9 months? A. 14.5515 B. <8.8975 C. >13.4983 D. 12.5050
Answer:
Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%
Explanation:
As per Interest Rate Parity Theory
Spot Rate : 1$ = 100
Forward Rate : 1 $ = 110
r = 9/12
As per interest rate parity, forward rate = Spot rate(1+Interest rate Japan)/(1+Interest rate US)
Forward rate = Spot rate *(1+ iD)/(1+iF)
110 / 100 = (1 + Japan Interest Rate * 9 /12) / 1.01125
1.1 * 1.01125 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75
1.112375 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75
Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 1.112375 - 1
Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 0.112375
Japan Interest Rate = 0.112375 / 0.75
Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%
HI Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that promises to reduce operating costs by the same amount for every year of its 5-year useful life. The machine will cost $211,980 and has no salvage value. The machine has a 14% internal rate of return. (Ignore income taxes.) Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2 to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided. Required: What are the annual cost savings promised by the machine? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer:
Annual savings = 61,746.
Explanation:
The Net Present Value (NPV) is the difference between the present value (PV) of cash outflows and PV of cash inflow
At the internal rate of return the PC of annual cash savings will be equal to the investment cost
Initial cost = 211980
PV = annual cash savings = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n)/ r
A=? r-internal rate of return, 14%, n-number of years- 5
211980 = A (1- (1.14)^(-5)/ 0.14
211,980 = A× 3.433080969
A= 211,980/3.43308
A= 61746.28619
Annual savings = 61,746.

That would be my answer because the definition of market forces is "the economic factors affecting the price of, demand for, and availability of a commodity."(off the internet) and the answer which fits that definition the most in my opinion is A.
That would be my answer at least.
Hope this helps!
Bass Accounting Services expects its accountants to work a total of 26 comma 000 direct labor hours per year. The company's estimated total indirect costs are $ 390 comma 000. The company uses direct labor hours as the allocation base for indirect costs. What is the indirect cost allocation rate? A. $ 18.00 per hour B. $ 30.00 per hour C. $ 15.00 per hour D. $ 150.00 per hour
Answer:
C) $ 15.00 per hour
Explanation:
total labor hours 26,000 per year
total indirect costs $390,000
if the company allocates indirect costs according to labor hours employed, the cost allocation rate should be:
$390,000 / 26,000 = $15 per direct labor hour
This means that for every labor hour employed, $15 will be allocated as indirect costs, e.g. a client requires 50 labor hours per year and $750 (= 50 x $15) in indirect costs.
Answer:
The correct answer is option (c) $15 per hour
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Expected wok for accountants = 26,000
The company estimated total indirect costs - 390,000
The next step is to find the allocation base cost for indirect cost.
Now,
The indirect labor cost is calculated as follows:
indirect cost allocation rate:
= Total indirect costs/Labor hours
= $390,000/26,000
= $15 per hours
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Assume you can invest money at a 14 percent rate of return. How much money must be invested now to be able to withdraw $5,000 from this investment at the end of each year for eight years, the first withdrawal occurring one year from now
Answer:
the original amount invested = $285,714.29
Explanation:
Let original amount invested be x
Amount to be withdrawn per year = $5,000
Total number of years = 8
Total amount to be withdrawn = 5,000 × 8 = $40,000
Next, we are told that 14% return on x is realized,
∴ 14% return on x = $40,000
0.14 × x = 40,000
x = 40,000 ÷ 0.14 = $285,714.29
Therefore, the original amount invested = $285,714.29
The focused differentiation strategy differs from the differentiation strategy in that Group of answer choices a. the focused differentiators have a broader competitive scope b. the value-creating activities of focused differentiators are more constrained. c. focused differentiators target a narrower customer market d. there are fewer risks with the focused differentiation strategy.
Answer:
The answer is option C) The focused differentiation strategy differs from the differentiation strategy in that focused differentiators target a narrower customer market.
Explanation:
Product differentiation is a marketing strategy that creates competitive advantage with designing a product superior to that of rivals, priced higher and sometimes created for exclusive users.
However, the focused differentiation strategy takes it a step further by targeting a small group of customers with ostensible goods.
The bourgeoisie are the main target for focused differentiators. They have the economic power to foot the bill and they enjoy the exclusivity of being the few to consume such products. A good example of such products is the Bugatti and Ferrari.
A Company manufactures coffee tables. The Company has a policy of adding a 20% markup to full costs and currently has excess capacity. The following information pertains to the company's normal operations per month: Output units 30,000 tables Machine-hours 6000 hours Direct manufacturing labor-hours 10,000 hours Direct materials per unit $50 Direct manufacturing labor per hour $12.00 Variable manufacturing overhead costs $322,500 Fixed manufacturing overhead costs $1,200,000 Product and process design costs $600,000 Marketing and distribution costs $1,290,000 For long-run pricing of the coffee tables, what price will most likely be used by the Company
Answer:
$201.30
Explanation:
Direct materials = $50
Total Direct manufacturing labor = $12.00 * 10,000 = $120,000
Variable manufacturing overhead costs = $322,500
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs = $1,200,000
Product and process design costs = $600,000
Marketing and distribution costs = $1,290,000
Total cost apart from direct material = $120,000 + $322,500 + $1,200,000 + $600,000 + $1,290,000 = $3,532,500
Cost per unit apart from direct material = $3,532,500 / 30,000 = $117.75
Total cost per unit = $117.75 + $50 = $167.75
Mark up per unit = $167.75 * 20% = $33.55
Price per unit = $167.75 + $33.55 = $201.30
Answer: $201.30
Explanation:
To solve this all the expenses incurred per unit need to be included in the unit.
Direct Materials $50
Direct Manufacturing Labour Hours per unit
= (10,000/30,000 units) * 12 (direct Manufacturing Labour per hour)
= $4
Variable Manufacturing Overhead Cost
= 322,500/30,000
= $10.75
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs
= 1,200,000/30,000
= $40
Product and process design costs
= 600,000/30,000
= $20
Marketing and distribution costs
= 1,290,000/30,000
= $43
Adding everything up,
= 50 + 4 + 10.75 + 40 + 20 + 43
= $167.75
Company adds 20% to costs so,
= 167.75 * ( 1 + 20%)
= $201.30
Company will most likely sell at $201.30

C) The roommates will stop speaking to each other.
D) Annabelle and Bettina will be angry at each other.
Answer:
A). Annabelle and Bettina will learn from each other .
B). The roommates will come up with a creative solution."
Explanation:
Anabelle and Bettina are involved in a 'cognitive' conflict as it occurs when they both experience a mental as well as emotional discomfort when they are confronted with the information that challenges their existing ideas or beliefs. The most likely outcomes of this situation would be that they 'both would learn from each other' by accepting each other's point of view and adapting with the new information that would help them 'reach a creative solution' to resolve their conflict over the cleaning of their room. Therefore, options A and B are the correct answers.
The Converting Department of Hopkinsville Company had 1,200 units in work in process at the beginning of the period, which were 75% complete. During the period, 25,200 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,360 units in process at the end of the period, which were 25% complete. Direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production. Determine the number of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion costs. If an amount is zero, enter in "0".
Answer:
Equivalent Units
Material cost = 26,560
Conversion Cost= 25,540
Explanation:
We would assume the company uses weighted average method of valuation.
Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.
Equivalent units = Degree of completion (%) × Number of units
Material cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 100%× 1,360 1360
Total equivalent units 26,560
Conversion Cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 25%× 1,360 340
Total equivalent units 25,540
Who has the comparative advantageLOADING... in producing oil? A. Norway has a comparative advantage producing oil because its opportunity cost of producing oil is lower. B. Neither country has a comparative advantage producing oil because their opportunity costs of producing oil are equal. C. The United Kingdom has a comparative advantage producing oil because its opportunity cost of producing oil is lower. D. Norway has a comparative advantage producing oil because it can produce more oil. E. The United Kingdom has a comparative advantage producing oil because it can produce more oil.
Answer:
The answer is option D) Norway has a comparative advantage producing oil because it can produce more oil.
Explanation:
Norway currently produces 1,398 thousand barrels of crude oil per day. At this capacity, it can produce more oil in comparison to United Kingdom that produces 1000 thousand barrels per day.
This statistics gives Norway a comparative advantage over United Kingdom.
Also comparing the consumption rate for both countries with Norway having a population of 5,421,241 which is far less than 66, 650,000 of the United Kingdom, shows that Norway will have enough to cater for her citizens as well as for exports.
Harry and Meghan have considered starting their own business but are concerned about the possibility of losing even their personal assets if the business fails. One way for BOTH Harry and Meghan to avoid this liability risk would be to :
A.
divorce as soon as possible and establish two sole proprietorships
B.
Organize a limited partnership with Harry as the general partner
C.
set up offshore accounts
D.
form a corporation
Answer:
The correct option is D,form a corporation
Explanation:
The rationale for my choice of answer is that limited liability applies to a corporation which is found in other types of businesses.
Limited liability is a concept which implies that the liability of shareholders in a limited liability company is limited to the amount contributed to the business by a way of shares held in the company.
When a company runs into debt,the shareholders would not be required to make up such debts from their private pockets,hence Harry and Meghan personal effects are secure.
The way for Harry and Meghan to avoid liability risk is to form a corporation
Typically, a limited liability applies to a corporation which means that the owner liability is limited to the amount he owns in the business.
Limited liability implies that liability of shareholders is limited to the amount contributed to the business by a way of shares held in the company.
So, when company runs into debt, the shareholders would not be required to make up such debts from their private pockets,therefore, the investment of Harry and Meghan are secure.
Hence, the only way for Harry and Meghan to avoid liability risk is to form a corporation
Therefore, the Option D is correct.

In performing accounting services for small businesses, you encounter the following situations per taining to cash sales. 1. Poole Company enters sales and sales taxes separately in its cash register. On April 10, the register totals are sales $30,000 and sales taxes $1,500. 2. Waterman Company does not segregate sales and sales taxes. Its register total for April 15 is $25,680, which includes a 7% sales tax. Prepare the entry to record the sales transactions and related taxes for each client.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, journal entries of the given data are as follow:-
1.Journal Entry of Poole Company
April 10
Cash A/c Dr. $31,500
To Sales A/c $30,000
To Sales tax payable A/c $1,500
(Being the sales and sales tax payable is recorded)
2. Since Register total for April $25,680 includes 7% sales tax.
So Sales of Waterman Company
= Registered Total Amount ÷ (1 + Sales Tax Rate)
= $25,680 ÷ (1 + 7%)
= $25,680 ÷ 1.07
= $24,000
Now
Sales tax = $24,000 × 7% = $1,680
Journal Entry of Waterman Company
On 15 April
Cash A/c Dr. $25,680
To Sales A/c $24,000
To Sales tax payable A/c $1,680
(Being the sales and sales tax payable is recorded)
Option A has an expected value of $2,000, a minimum payoff of -$4,000, and a maximum payoff of $18,000. Option B has an expected value of $2,200, a minimum payoff of -$1,000, and a maximum payoff of $6,000. Option C has an expected value of $1,900, a minimum payoff of $100, and a maximum payoff of $2,000. In this situation, a risk-averse decision maker would pay __________ for his risk aversion, and a risk-seeking decision maker would pay __________ for his risk seeking.
Answer:
Option A is the answer
Explanation:
A risk-averse decision maker will go for the option with the least chance of loss incurred (the highest minimum payoff of $100) and settle for an expected value of 1900. He'll pay for his risk avoidance in this way (2200-1900 = 300) while a risk-seeking decision maker will go for the option with the highest payoff chances ($18,000), regardless of the possibility of failure. This would make the risk-seeking decision maker go for option A.

The amount of greenhouse gas emissions per unit is still , such that total world emissions are given by . What are total world emissions after country A enacts a carbon tax?
Answer:
286.5
Explanation:
P=99-qa-qb
MRa=99-2qb-qb
MCa=48
99-2qa-qb=48
Qa=25.5-0.5qb{ best response function of firm A)
MRb=99-qa-2qb
MCb=4
99-qa-2qb=4
Qb=47.5-0.5qa{ best response function of form b}
Qb=47.5-0.5(25.5-0.5qb)
Qb=34.75/0.75=46.33
Qa=25.5-0.5*46.33=2.33
Total world output=46.33+2.33=48.66
Total world emission=0.5*48.66=24.33
p=1146-qa-qb-qc
MRa=1146-2qa-qb-qc
MCa=0
1146-2qa-qb-qc=0
Qa=573-0.5(qb+qc) best response function of firm a)
By symmetry,
Qb=573-0.5(qa+qc)
Qc=573-0.5(qa+qb)
Qb+qc=1146-qa-0.5(qb+qc)
Qb+qc=764-qa/1.5
Qa=573-0.5(764-qa/1.5)=191+qa/3
Qa=191*3/2=286.5
Qa=Qb=Qc=286.5
Total output=3*286.5=859.5( cournot equilibrium market output)
Cartel output=573
Lower QUANTITY in cartel equilibrium compare to cournot equilibrium
=859.5-573
=286.5
