Firm 1 produces output X with a cost function C_1(X)=\frac{X^2}{200}. Firm 2 produces output Y with a cost function C_2(X,Y)=\frac{Y^2}{100}-2X. Both firms face competitive markets. The competitive price of X is 6 and the competitive price of Y is \$ 5. There is no entry or exit into this market. What is the socially optimal production of X?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

800

Explanation:

The objective here is to determine the socially optimal production of X.

For this to occur ; it is crucial that both firm must merge together.

Therefore; the Profit will be = Total revenue - Total Cost

From the question; the total revenue = 6X + 5Y ;     &

The total cost is : [tex]\dfrac{X^2}{200} + \dfrac{Y^2}{100} - 2X[/tex]

Now: The profit = [tex]6X+5Y - \dfrac{X^2}{200}- \dfrac{Y^2}{100}-2X[/tex]

= [tex]8X+5Y - \dfrac{X^2}{200}- \dfrac{Y^2}{100}[/tex]

If the socially optimal production of X is the differential of the equation [tex]8X+5Y - \dfrac{X^2}{200}- \dfrac{Y^2}{100}[/tex]

(X) = [tex]8-\frac{2X}{200} =0[/tex]

= [tex]8-\frac{X}{100} =0[/tex]

= [tex]\dfrac{X}{100}=8[/tex]

= 800

Thus the social optimal production of X = 800

Stahlmaere Inc. is a start-up company that manufactures simple machines. It is interested in analyzing the profit from a new machine using Monte Carlo simulation. It wants to investigate the profit resulting from a selling price of $150 per unit. The setup and advertising costs are known to total $75,000. They assume that the demand for the product is normally distributed with a mean of 1500 units and a standard deviation of 100 units. The company estimates that the raw material cost per unit is uniformly distributed between $5 and $6. The labor cost per unit is assumed to follow a discrete uniform distribution from $12 to $16. A junior analyst has devised the following Excel spreadsheet that simulates a single scenario using the information given above: Selling price per unit = 150 Set up and advertising cost = 75000 Demand = =NORM.INV(RAND(),1500,100) Raw material cost per unit = =5+(6-5)*RAND() Labor cost per unit = =RANDBETWEEN(12,16) Profit = =(B1*B4)-B2-((B5+B6)*B4) Copy-and-paste the above information into cells A1:B8 of an Excel spreadsheet. Then use a data table to repeat the simulation 1000 times. From the simulation results, estimate Stahlmaere's expected mean profit. Understanding that simulation is random in nature and that your estimate is unlikely to match any of the answer choices exactly, choose the answer choice that is closest to the estimated mean profit.

In 2020, Marigold Corp., issued for $102 per share, 86000 shares of $100 par value convertible preferred stock. One share of preferred stock can be converted into three shares of Marigold's $25 par value common stock at the option of the preferred stockholder. In August 2021, all of the preferred stock was converted into common stock. The market value of the common stock at the date of the conversion was $30 per share. What total amount should be credited to additional paid-in capital from common stock as a result of the conversion of the preferred stock into common stock?

Answers

Answer:

$2322,000

Explanation:

The computation of amount credited to additional paid-in capital is shown below:-

Amount credited to additional paid-in capital = Issued per share × Number of shares) - (Number if shares × Preferred stock shares converted into three shares × Par value of common stock

= ($102 × 86,000) - (86,000 × 3 × $25)

= $8,772,000 - $6,450,000

= $2322,000

So, for computing the amount credited to additional paid-in capital we simply applied the above formula.

Waterways puts much emphasis on cash flow when it plans for capital investments. The company chose its discount rate of 8% based on the rate of return it must pay its owners and creditors. Using that rate, Waterways then uses different methods to determine the best decisions for making capital outlays.
In 2017 Waterways is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it now has. The new backhoes are faster, cost less to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the operators, and have 1-year maintenance agreements to go with them. The old backhoes are working just fine, but they do require considerable maintenance. The backhoe operators are very familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new skills to use the new backhoes.
The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new backhoes.
Old Backhoes New Backhoes
Purchase cost when new $90,000 $200,000
Salvage value now $42,000
Investment in major overhaul needed in next year $55,000
Salvage value in 8 years $15,000 $90,000
Remaining life 8 years 8 years
Net cash flow generated each year $30,425 $43,900
Required:
1. Evaluate in the following ways whether to purchase the new equipment or overhaul the old equipment. (Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the cost of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage value of the old machine to determine the initial cost of the investment.)
a. Using the net present value method for buying new or keeping the old
b. Using the payback method for each choice. (Hint: For the old machine, evaluate the payback of an overhaul.)
c. Comparing the profitability index for each choice.
d. Calculate the internal rate of return for the new and old blackhoes.

The difference is in the cost of materials which is actually 624,980** and we found it out to be 627 228**  . This is because we rounded the Cost per Equivalent Unit of material from $ 1.325 to $1.33

If we multiply 1.325 *  471,600  we get $ 624870 which is almost the same.

Southern Alliance Company needs to raise $70 million to start a new project and will raise the money by selling new bonds. The company will generate no internal equity for the foreseeable future. The company has a target capital structure of 60 percent common stock, 15 percent preferred stock, and 25 percent debt.

True initial cost

= $70 million ÷ ( 1 - 0.212)

= $70 million ÷ 0.788

= $88,832,487.31

Piedmont Hotels is an all-equity company. Its stock has a beta of .94. The market risk premium is 7.5 percent and the risk-free rate is 3.3 percent. The company is considering a project that it considers riskier than its current operations so it wants to apply an adjustment of 2.5 percent to the project's discount rate. What should the firm set as the required rate of return for the project

Answers

Answer:

Required rate of return for the project = 9.7%

Explanation:

The risk-adjusted discount factor = cost of equity + the adjustment

Cost of equity can be calculated using the capital asset pricing model CAPM

Using the CAPM , the rate of return on equity can be determined as follows:

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)

E(r) =? , Rf- 3.3%, Rm- 7.5%, β- 0.94

Cost of equity = Rf + β (Rm -Rf)

Cost of equity = 3.3% + 0.94×(7.5-3.3)= 7.248

The risk-adjusted discount factor=  7.248 + 2.5= 9.748

Required rate of return for the project = 9.7%

Then, according to the single-period dividend discount model, the present value of the cash payment received by Mr. Lane in one year would be

Answers

Answer:

The present value of the cash payment is $20

Explanation:

The present value of cash payment receivable by Mr Lane in one year's time is the today's equivalent amount of the dividend of $18 as well as the liquidation value of $3.

The present value is the total cash inflows multiplied by the discount factor

discount factor=1/(1+r)^n

where is the rate of time preference of 5%'

n is 1 i.e in one year's time

total cash inflows=$18+$3=$21

discount factor =1/(1+5%)^1=0.95238

present value of cash payment=0.95238*$21=$20

Assume the economy of country C produces hotdogs and buns in the following quantities and prices in 2016 and 2017. Assume also that 2016 is the base year and the real GDP will be calculated using 2016 prices. What is the real GDP 2017? Hot Dogs Buns Quantity Price Quantity Price Year 2016 (base year) 6 million $2 4 million $1 Year 2017 8 million $3 6 million $2 a. $22 million. b. $26 million c. $16 million. d. $36 million.

Answers

Answer:

Option (a).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Real GDP = Base Year Price × Current Year Quantity

Real GDP in 2016= $2 × 6 million + $1 × 4 million

= $12 million + $4 million = $16 million

Real GDP in 2017 = $2 × 8 million + $1 × 6 million

= $16 million + $6 million = $22 million

According to the analysis, the real GDP in 2017 is $22 million. So (a) option is correct.

You pay $20,800 to the Laramie Fund which has a NAV of $18.00 per share at the beginning of the year. The fund deducted a front-end load of 3.00%. The securities in the fund increased in value by 12% during the year. The fund's expense ratio is 1.50% and is deducted from year end asset values. What is your rate of return on the fund if you sell your shares at the end of the year

Answers

Answer:

6.92%

Explanation:

Beginning investment fund is $20,800.

Now, fund available= Beginning fund(1-front end load)

=20,800(1-0.03)=$20176

Now, the number of shares that can be brought with the available fund

[tex}\text{Number of shares}=\frac{\text{fund available}}{NAV_{beginning}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{20176}{18}[/tex]

=1120

Now calculating closing NAV

NAV(closing)=NAV(beginning)=(1+increased%)

=$18(1+12%)=18×1.12

=$20.16

Calculate year end asset value

Year end asset value =NAV(closing)×No. of shares

=$20.16×1120=$22579.2

Value of investment after deducting the expense ratio

Closing investment value = Year end asset value×(1-expense ratio)

=$22579.2×(1-1.5%)

=$22240.512

Now,

Return on the fund =[(closing investment value)-(Beginning investment fund)]÷Beginning investment fund

=(22240.512-20800)÷20800

=0.0692

or, 6.92%

Stiller Corporation incurred fixed manufacturing costs of $24,000 during 2015. Other information for 2015 includes: The budgeted denominator level is 2,000 units. Units produced total 1,500 units. Units sold total 1,200 units. Beginning inventory was zero. The company uses absorption costing and the fixed manufacturing cost rate is based on the budgeted denominator level. Manufacturing variances are closed to cost of goods sold. Operating income using absorption costing will be ________ than operating income if using variable costing.

Answers

Answer:

Operating profit using absorption costing will be higher by $3,600 than operating income if using variable costing.

Explanation:

The difference between profit under variable costing and under absorption costing is simply the value of the change in inventory.

Usually, a decrease in inventory would cause profit under absorption costing to be lower . This is so because cost of goods sold would become higher leading to a lower profit . And vice versa

Difference in profit = POAR × change inventory

Predetermined Overhead absorption rate(POAR)

= Estimated overhead/ estimated production unit

= $24,000/2,000 units = $12 per unit

Change in inventory = 1500 - 1200= 300 units

Difference in profit = 300 × $12 per unit = $3,600

Operating profit using absorption costing will be higher by $3,600 than operating income if using variable costing.
