Are monopolies economically efficient? Consider the market to the right. Compared to the perfectly competitive outcome, what would be the change in surplus if instead the market had one supplier that was a monopoly?
Answer:
Deadweight loss (Triangle between all three lines, hits all three points).
Explanation:
This is explained to be triangle between all three lines as it hits all three points involved.
It can also be explained to be Harberger's triangle in the sense that the loss occurring in the trade of a good or service due to market power of buyers or sellers or a government intervention, or other bodies concerned is lost due when it is not produced maximumly to reach everyone who meeds it.
Deadweight loss, also can be a measure of lost economic efficiency when the socially optimal quantity of a good or a service is not produced. Non-optimal production can be caused by monopoly pricing in the case of artificial scarcity, a positive or negative externality, a tax or subsidy, or a binding price ceiling or price floor such as a minimum wage.
Assume there is a decrease in the market demand for a good sold by price-taking firms that are initially producing the profit-maximizing level of output. How will the market adjust over time? Firms will exit the market, causing price to fall until positive profits are eliminated. Firms will exit the market, causing price to rise until losses are eliminated. Firms will enter the market, causing price to rise until losses are eliminated. Firms will enter the market, causing price to fall until positive profits are eliminated.
Answer: Firms will exit the market, causing price to rise until losses are eliminated
Explanation:
When there is a decrease in demand in a Perfectly Competitive Market, firms will have to start producing at a lower Quantity to manage their Marginal cost. This leads to Economic losses on their part in the short run.
In the long run however, should the situation remain the same, the new price would be less than their Average Cost which would deepen Economic losses. Firms would respond by exiting the market in the long run.
As the firms exit, the supply curve shifts left as supply drops. This drop in supply leads to a price rise. The exits will continue until enough firms leave that the market's remaining firms will stop suffering economic losses.

Four million treasury shares were sold on October 1. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2018, was $1,050 million.
Also outstanding at December 31 were 30 million incentive stock options granted to key executives on September 13, 2013. The options were exercisable as of September 13, 2017, for 30 million common shares at an exercise price of $56 per share. During 2018, the market price of the common shares averaged $70 per share.
Required:
a. Compute Berclair's basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Answer:
Basic Earnings Per Share = $1,44
Diluted Earnings Per Share = $1,38
Explanation:
Basic Earnings Per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Weighted Average Number of Common Shares
Calculation of Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2018, $1,050,000,000
Less cumulative preferred stock dividend ($45,000,000)
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $1,005,000,000
Calculation of Weighted Average Number of Common Shares
1 January Outstanding Common Shares 560,000,000
March 1 - Purchases (10/12×168,000,000) 140,000,000
October 1 - Sold (3/12×4,000,0000) (1,000,000)
Weighted Average Number of Common Shares 699,000,000
Basic Earnings Per Share = $1,005,000,000/699,000,000
= $1,44
Diluted Earnings Per Share = Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Shares
Calculation of Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Shares
Weighted Average Number of Common Shares (Basic) 699,000,000
Incentive Stock Options 30,000,000
Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Shares 729,000,000
Diluted Earnings Per Share = $1,005,000,000/ 729,000,000
= $1,38

Wehrs Corporation has received a request for a special order of 9,300 units of product K19 for $46.80 each. The normal selling price of this product is $51.90 each, but the units would need to be modified slightly for the customer. The normal unit product cost of product K19 is computed as follows: Direct materials $ 17.60 Direct labor 6.90 Variable manufacturing overhead 4.10 Fixed manufacturing overhead 7.00 Unit product cost $ 35.60 Direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like some modifications made to product K19 that would increase the variable costs by $6.50 per unit and that would require a one-time investment of $46,300 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order. Required: Determine the effect on the company's total net operating income of accepting the special order.
Answer:
Effect on income= $62,510 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Offer= 9,300 units of product K19 for $46.80 each.
Direct materials $ 17.60
Direct labor $6.90
Variable manufacturing overhead $4.10
The customer would like some modifications made to product K19 that would increase the variable costs by $6.50 per unit and that would require a one-time investment of $46,300 in special molds that would have no salvage value.
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will take into account only the incremental fixed costs.
First, we need to calculate the total cost of the offer:
Unitary variable cost= 17.6 + 6.9 + 4.1 + 6.5= $35.1
Total variable cost= 35.1*9,300= $326,430
Total fixed costs= 46,300
Total cost= $372,730
Finally, we can determine the effect on income:
Effect on income= 9,300*46.8 - 372,730
Effect on income= $62,510 increase
Selected information from Frosty Freeze Corporation's accounting records and financial statements for 2022 is as follows ($ in millions): Cash paid to acquire machinery$34 Reacquired Peridot common stock 54 Proceeds from sale of land 93 Gain from the sale of land 54 Investment revenue received 73 Cash paid to acquire office equipment 87 In its statement of cash flows, Frosty Freeze should report net cash outflows from investing activities of: Multiple Choice $101 million. $28 million. $80 million. $33 million.
Answer:
$45 million
Explanation:
The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.
The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.
The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.
An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow of cash while an increase in liabilities is an inflow of cash.
Hence, the net cash outflows from investing activities (in $'million)
= -$34 + $93 + $73 - $87
= $45

The more that a particular currency appears in the market without any work (value) being associated with that currency, the smaller the value of that particular form of currency (For example, the U.S. dollar). When inflation is high, banks will increase interest rates on loans in order to get rid of some of the of the surplus currency in the market, bringing down inflation and increasing the total value of a particular form of currency.
On January 1, 2019, a company issued $401,600 of 10-year, 12% bonds. The interest is payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. The issue price was $417,153 based on a 10% market interest rate. The effective-interest method of amortization is used. Rounding all calculations to the nearest whole dollar, what is the interest expense for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019?
Answer:
$ 20,857.65
Explanation:
The interest expense for the first interest expense is cash proceeds from the bond issuance multiplied by the 10% market interest rate adjusted for semiannual amount by multiplying by 6 months and dividing by 12 months.
Interest expense=cash proceeds*market interest rate*6/12
cash proceeds is $417,153
market interest rate is 10%
interest expense for the six-month period ending June 30 2019=$417,153*10%*6/12=$ 20,857.65
The first interest expense is closest to $ 20,857.65
[10 points] Suppose Wilwaukee Telecom offers its users the option of paying either (a) $2.00 per minute for telephone service or (b) a $125 flat charge for a year of unlimited toll-free calls. Consider a customer with an annual demand for telephone service of P = 11 – 0.1Q, where P is the price per minute and Q is the number of minutes of calls made per year. Calculate the consumer surplus for each of the plans (a) and (b).
Answer:
For plan A, P = 2.
Then from demand curve, 2 = 11-.1Q
So .1Q = 9
Q* = 90
B) under plan b, P = zero
So make 11 = .1Q
Q* = 110
Now Consumer surplus from a)
CS = .5*(11-2)*90 = ∆ABC
= .5*9*90 = 405
From b)
CS = .5*11*110 - 125 = ∆ ADE - fixed fee
= 605-125 = 480
In its first month of operations, Literacy for the Illiterate opened a new bookstore and bought merchandise in the following order: (1) 150 units at $7 on January 1, (2) 590 units at $8 on January 8, and (3) 890 units at $10 on January 29. M7-12 Calculating Cost of Goods Available for Sale, Cost of Goods Sold, and Ending Inventory under Periodic LIFO [LO 7-3] Assume 1,110 units are on hand at the end of the month, calculate the cost of goods available for sale, ending inventory, and cost of goods sold under the LIFO. Assume a periodic inventory system is used. (Round "Cost per Unit" to 2 decimal places.
Answer:
Goods available for sale = $14,670
Ending inventory = $9,470
Cost of goods sold = $5,200
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Total units purchased = 150 + 590 + 890 = 1,630
Ending inventory = 1,110
Sales units = 1,630 units - 1,110 units = 520 units
Goods available for sale = 150 × $7 + 590 × $8 + 890 × $10
= $14,670
Ending inventory = 150 × $7 + 590 × $8 + 370 × $10
= $9,470
Cost of goods sold = $14,670 - $9,470
= $5,200
Crich Corporation uses direct labor-hours in its predetermined overhead rate. At the beginning of the year, the estimated direct labor-hours were 21,880 hours and the total estimated manufacturing overhead was $516,368. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 21,700 hours and the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $516,368. Overhead at the end of the year was:
Answer:
$4,248 underapplied
Explanation:
The computation of Overhead at the end of the year is shown below:-
Predetermined overhead rate = Actual manufacturing overhead ÷ Estimated Direct labor hours
= $516,368 ÷ 21,880
= 23.6 per hour
Actual overhead applied = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual direct labor-hours
= 23.6 × 21,700
= $512,120
Overhead underapplied = Manufacturing overhead - Actual overhead applied
= $516,368 - $512,120
= $4,248 underapplied

Library, Inc. has 2,500 shares of 4%, $50 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 50,000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018. The board of directors declared and paid a $3,000 dividend in 2017. In 2018, $18,000 of dividends are declared and paid. What are the dividends received by the preferred and common shareholders in 2018?
Answer:
preferred stocks = 2,500 stocks x 4% x $50 par value = $5,000 preferred dividends per year
common stock = 50,000 stocks outstanding of $1 par value
in 2017, $3,000 in dividends are distributed, all to preferred stocks
In 2018, $18,000 in dividends are distributed, $7,000 to preferred stock ($2,000 cumulative from last year and $5,000 from this year) and $11,000 are distributed to common stockholders.
In 2018, each preferred stock received = $7,000 / 2,500 stocks = $2.80 per preferred stock. Each common stockholder received $11,000 / 50,000 = $0.22 per common stock.
A company uses the percent of receivables method to determine its bad debts expense. At the end of the current year, the company's unadjusted trial balance reported the following selected amounts: Accounts receivable $ 382,000 debit Allowance for uncollectible accounts 570 credit Net Sales 870,000 credit All sales are made on credit. Based on past experience, the company estimates that 5% of receivables are uncollectible. What amount should be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared
Answer:
$18,530
Explanation:
The computation of the amount debited to the bad debt expense is shown below:
= Account receivable × estimated uncollectible percentage - credit balance of allowance for uncollectible accounts
= $382,000 × 5% - $570
= $19,100 - $570
= $18,530
We simply applied the above formula so that the amount debited to bad debt expense could come
Under the allowance method of accounting for uncollectible accounts, a. the cash realizable value of accounts receivable is greater before an account is written off than after it is written off. b. Bad Debts Expense is debited when a specific account is written off as uncollectible. c. the cash realizable value of accounts receivable in the balance sheet is the same before and after an account is written off. d. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is closed each year to Income Summary.
Answer:
c. the cash realizable value of accounts receivable in the balance sheet is the same before and after an account is written off.
Explanation:
Under the allowance method of accounting for uncollectible accounts, the cash realizable value of accounts receivable in the balance sheet is the same before and after an account is written off and bad debt expenses is debited.
This means that in the period in which an account previously written off is collected, the income is unaffected.
Also, under the allowance method of accounting, total assets will remain unchanged when a particular account is being written off.

On January 1, a company issued and sold a $408,000, 9%, 10-year bond payable, and received proceeds of $403,000. Interest is payable each June 30 and December 31. The company uses the straight-line method to amortize the discount. The journal entry to record the first interest payment is:
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
Bond interest expense Dr, $18,610
To Cash $18360
To Discount on bonds $250
(Being first interest payment is recorded)
For recording the first interest payment we simply debited the bond interest expenses as it increased the expenses and we credited cash and discount on bonds as it reduced the assets and the discount should be credited
Working Note
Total discount on bonds issued = Sold bonds - Received proceeds
= $408,000 - $403,000
= $5,000
Amortization of Semi Annual Discount = Total discount on bonds issued ÷ Number of periods
= $5,000 ÷ 20
= $250
Cash interest paid = Sold bonds × Interest rate × From Jan to June ÷ Total number of months in a year
= $408,000 × 9% × 6 ÷ 12
= $18,360
Total Interest expense = Cash interest paid + Amortization of Semi Annual Discount
= $18,360 + $250
= $18,610
Ahmed, a lawyer, sold his car to Carlos. Has an implied warranty of merchantability been created by this transaction? No, because Ahmed is not a merchant. Yes, because if the car is defective Carlos will have a right to return in to Ahmed. No, Ahmed has not implied so either orally or in written. Yes, because a car is "goods" and the Uniform Commercial Code applies to contracts for the sale of goods.
Answer:
A. No, because Ahmed is not a merchant.
Explanation:
Implied warranty of merchantability is a law in contract which states that when there is a transaction between a seller (the merchant), and a buyer, there is an unwritten guarantee from the seller, that the product meets up to the ordinary standards of care. This means that the goods must be fit to do what the merchant says it will do. Therefore, if the seller finds it defective, he could return it to the seller. and if the seller refuses to make a change, a legal case could be established. The merchant by law is a wholesaler or retailer, who sells goods in which he has expertise or special skills.
Ahmed in the question could be argued in court to not be a merchant of cars and as such, has no expertise with which he can make a guarantee for the car being sold to Carlos.

Answer:
Swift Company should charge depreciation expense of $55,556 to income statement for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Explanation:
Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($500,000 - 0) / 6 years = $83,333 yearly depreciation expense.
Accumulated depreciation as at end of 20212 = $83,333 x 2 = $166,667
Net book value (NBV) becomes $500,000 - $166,667 = $333,333
New depreciation is ($333,333 - $0) / 6 years = $55,556 yearly depreciation expenses from 2013 onward.

Determine whether each of the following events causes a shift of a curve or a movement along a curve in the short run. Indicate which curve is involved and the direction of the change. As a result of an increase in the value of the dollar relative to other currencies, American producers pay less in dollar terms for foreign steel, a major commodity used in production. This will cause a the aggregate curve to the .

Check the explanation
Explanation:
Increase in value of dollar has made the foreign steel (a major commodity used in production) cheaper for American producers.
This will reduce the cost of production of American Producers and would increase their profit-margin.
This will induce US firms to produce more and therefore there will be increase in short-run aggregate supply.
So, the given scenario will involve short-run aggregate supply curve and would shift the curve to the right.

After a retiring from a successful business career, you would like to make a donation to your university. This donation will go into the school’s endowment pool and the returns generated from the donation will support the salary of a new professor in the business school on a perpetual basis. The university expects to earn returns of 5.5% on its endowment pool. You may assume that any distributions to support the salary will be made annually.
Part A) You can make a donation today (t=0) in the amount of $2,500,000. The first cash flow distribution from your donation to cover the professor's salary will take place in one year (at t=1). Which of the following is closest to the annual salary payment that can be made as a result of your donation?
A. $2,500,000
B. $454,545
C. $100,000
D. $137,500
Part B) After further discussions, the university determines that the employment agreement with the new professor will call for annual salary increases of 2%. Given this new requirement, and assuming the first salary distribution will still occur one year from today, what is the starting salary (at t=1) that can be supported with your $2,500,000 donation?
A. $50,000
B. $187,500
C. $140,250
D. $87,500
Answer:
Part A) D. $137,500
Part B) C. $140,250
Explanation:
Part A) The computation of annual salary payment is shown below:-
Annual salary = Donation made × Interest rate
= $2,500,000 × 5.5%
= $137,500
So, for computing the annual salary we simply multiply the donation made with interest rate.
Part B) The computation of starting salary is shown below:-
Starting salary = Annual salary + Increased annual salary
= $137,500 + 2%
= $140,250
Therefore for computing the starting salary we simply added the annual salary with increased annual salary.
