The goal of any monopolist is to maximize:
economic profits.
normal profits.
price.
consumer welfare.
output.

Answers

Answer:

economic profits.

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.

Also, a monopolist refers to any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market.

Generally, the goal of any monopolist is to maximize economic profits.

Basically, a monopolist earns an economic profit when the average total cost (AVC) of his goods and services is less than price.

Unlike a business firm operating in a perfectly competitive market, a monopolist can continue to earn economic profits in the long-run because there exist an extremely high level of barriers to entry for new business firms.

If a company spends $80 million to build facility space sufficient to hold 5 million pairs of footwear-making equipment at a site in Latin America, then the company's annual depreciation costs for this facility space will be

Answers

Answer: $8,000,000

Explanation:

From the question given, the cost of the building facility is $80 million. Also, it should be noted that the default rate for depreciation is given as 10%, therefore, the company's annual depreciation costs for this facility space will be:

= Depreciation rate × Cost of building

= 10% × $80,000,000

= 0.1 × $80,000,000

= $8,000,000

Now- a quick question. Assume at the beginning of Year2, Becker Company has a credit (positive) balance in the AOCI account of $10800. Becker Company reports $653000 of net income for Year2. Becker has an unrealized gain of $12000 during Year2. The gain qualifies as OCI (Other comprehensive income). 1. What will Becker report as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Year2 balance sheet

Answers

Answer:

Becker Company

The amount that Becker will report as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Year 2 balance sheet is:

= $22,800.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Year 2 Beginning balance:

Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) = $10,800 credit

Year 2 reported net income = $653,000

Unrealized gain during Year 2 = $12,000

The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Year 2 balance sheet is:

Beginning balance $10,800

Unrealized gain        12,000

AOCI for Year 2 = $22,800

b) Becker's Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income includes unrealized gains and losses arising from some investments, pension plans, and hedging transactions.  These are usually reported in the equity section of the balance sheet and then netted off from the retained earnings.

During July, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 24,000 units that were in process at the beginning of July and 72,000 that were started and completed in July. July's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to labor. At the end of July, 29,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 35% complete with respect to labor. The beginning inventory included labor cost of $52,400 and the production department incurred direct labor cost of $451,250 during July. Compute the direct labor cost per equivalent unit for the department using the weighted-average method.

Answers

Answer:

the direct labor cost per equivalent unit for the department is $4.74 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of the direct labor cost per equivalent unit for the department is given below:

Equivalent units for direct labor cost is

= 24,000 unit + 72,000 units + 35% of 29,000

= 24,000 units + 72,000 units + 10,150 units

= 106,150 units

Now the direct cost per equivalent unit is

= ($52,400 + $451,250) ÷ 106,150 units

= $4.74 per unit

Hence, the direct labor cost per equivalent unit for the department is $4.74 per unit

If the return on stock A in year 1 was 6 %, in year 2 was 3 %, in year 3 was 18 % and in year 4 was 3 %, what was the standard deviation of returns for stock A over this four year period? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place and record without a percent sign. If your final answer is negative, place a minus sign before the number with no space between the sign and the number).

Answers

Answer:

12.4

Explanation:

We need to,first of all, determine the arithmetic average return of all the returns, which is the sum of the returns divided by the number of returns

average return=(6%+3%+18%+3%)/4

average return=7.50%

Years return (return-average return) (return-average return)^2

1          6.00%        -1.50%                            0.022500%

2          3.00%       -4.50%                             0.202500%

3         18.00%         10.50%                               1.102500%

4         3.00%       -4.50%                               0.202500%

        average return 7.50%           variance 1.530000%

                   standard deviation=variance^(1/2) 12.4%

If the price elasticity of supply is 0.5 and the quantity supplied decreases by 6%, then the price must have decreased by 3%. a. True b. False

Answers

Answer: False

Explanation:

The price elasticity of supply measures the change in quantity supplied when the price changes.

The basic trend is that when price increases, quantity supplied increases as well. The reverse is true.

Price elasticity of supply = %Change in quantity supplied / % change in price

0.5 = -6% / Change in price

0.5 * Change in price = -6%

Change in price = -6% / 0.5

= -12%

The statement above is therefore false because price should have reduced by 12% for quantity supplied to reduce by 6%

Your grandfather put some money in an account for you on the day you were born. You are now years old and are allowed to withdraw the money for the first time. The account currently has in it and pays an interest rate.

Required:
a. How much money would be in the account if you left the money there until your twenty-fifth birthday?
b. What if you left the money until your sixty-fifth birthday?
c. How much money did your grandfather originally put in the account?

Answers

Answer:

Missing word "You are now 18 years old and are allowed to withdraw the money for the first time. The account currently has $3996 in it and pays an 8% interest rate."

a.  At 18 years, future value of current amount (compounded for another 7 years at 8%)

= $3,996 * (1.08)^7

= $3,996 * 1.7138

= $6,848.34

b. At age 65, future value of this amount (compounded for another 40 years at 8%)

= $6,848.44 * (1.08)^40

= $6,848.44 * 21.7245

= $148,779.93

c. Future Value = Present Value * (1 + Interest Rate)^n

So, let initial the money deposited be represented by Y

=> $3,996 = Y * (1.08)^18

=> $3,996 = Y * 3.996

Y = $3,996 / 3.996

Y = $1,000

g Find the monthly payment and estimate the remaining balance (to the nearest dollar). Assume interest is on the unpaid balance. 5-year car loan for $9700 at 5%; remaining balance after 4 years.

Answers

Answer:

Monthly payment $102.88

Outstanding balance after year 4 $1,201.76

Explanation:

First and foremost, the car loan amount of $9,700 is the present value of all monthly payments for 5 years as shown below:

PV=monthly payment*(1-(1+r)^-n/r

PV=car loan amount=$9,700

monthly payment=unknown

r=monthly interest rate=5%/12=0.004166667

n=number of monthly payments in 5 years=5*12=60

$9700=monthly payment*(1-(1+0.004166667)^-120/0.004166667

$9700=monthly payment*(1-(1.004166667)^-120/0.004166667

$9700=monthly payment*(1-0.607161016 )/0.004166667

$9700=monthly payment*0.392838984 /0.004166667

$9700=monthly payment*94.28134862

monthly payment=$9700/94.28134862

monthly payment=$102.88  

The outstanding balance after year 4 is the present value of monthly payments for the remaining 1 year(12 months)

PV=$102.88*(1-(1+0.004166667)^-12/0.004166667

PV=$102.88*(1-(1.004166667)^-12/0.004166667

PV=$102.88*(1-0.951328238 )/0.004166667

Concord Company has recently tried to improve its analysis for its manufacturing process. Units started into production equaled 18900 and ending work in process equaled 1000 units. Concord had no beginning work in process inventory. Conversion costs are applied uniformly throughout production, and all materials are applied at the beginning of the process. How much is the materials cost per unit if ending work in process was 30% complete and total materials costs equaled $86940

Answers

Answer:

the material cost per unit is $4.60 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of the material cost per unit is shown below:

= Total material cost ÷ equivalent units of material

= $86,940 ÷ (18,900 - 1,000) × 100% + 1,000 × 100%

= $86,940 ÷ (17,900 + 1,000)

= $86,940 ÷ 18,900

= $4.60 per unit

Hence, the material cost per unit is $4.60 per unit

B. Manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $233,000
C. Manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000
D. Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000

Answers

Answer: D. Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000

Explanation:

The Manufacturing overhead applied is less than the actual manufacturing overhead incurred by:

= 79,000 - 69,000

= $10,000

Manufacturing overhead is therefore underapplied as the amount applied is too low to cover the amount incurred.

The Cost of Goods sold after closing out is:

= Cost of goods sold before closing out + Underapplied manufacturing overhead

= 243,000 + 10,000

= $253,000

a. Firm A incurs the expense
b. Firm Z incurs the expense

Answers

Answer:

a. $7,505

b.$6,840

Explanation:

a. Computation for the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm A incurs the expense

Using this formula

After-tax cost = Deductible Expense - (Firm A Marginal tax rate* Deductible Expense)

Let plug in the formula

After-tax cost = ($9,500 - ($21%*9500)

After-tax cost = ($9,500 - $1,995)

After-tax cost=$7,505

Therefore the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm A incurs the expense is $7,505

B. Computation for the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm Z incurs the expense

Using this formula

After-tax cost = Deductible Expense - (Firm Z Marginal tax rate*Deductible Expense)

Let plug in the formula

After-tax cost =$9,500 -(28%*$9500)

After-tax cost =($9,500 - $2,660 )

After-tax cost=$6,840

Therefore the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm Z incurs the expense is $6,840

Consider the following information for the manufacturing cell of Stripes Company: Maximum units produced in a quarter 250,000 units Actual units produced in a quarter 200,000 units Productive hours in a quarter 50,000 hours Compute the theoretical velocity and the actual velocity in units per hour.

Answers

Answer: Theoretical velocity = 5 units per hour.

Actual velocity = 4 units per hour.

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the theoretical velocity will be:

Firstly, we'll calculate the theoretical cycle time which will be:

= (50,000 hours x 60 minutes per hour) / 250,000 units

= 12 minutes per unit

Actual cycle time will be:

= (50,000 hours x 60 minutes per hour) / 200,000 units

= 15 minutes per unit

The theoretical velocity:

= 60 minutes / 12 minutes

= 5 units per hour.

2. The e actual velocity in units per hour:

= 60 minutes per hour / 15 minutes per unit

= 4 units per hour

The variable selling and administrative expense per unit sold is $1.60. The fixed selling and administrative expense per month is $70,000. The estimated net operating income (loss) for February is closest to:

Answers

Answer: $21,080

Explanation:

First calculate the contribution margin per unit

= Sales - Variable costs

= Selling price - Raw materials - Direct labor cost - Manufacturing overhead - Variable selling and administrative expense

= 114 - (6 * 4) - (2.4 * 24) - (9 * 2.4) - 1.60

= $9.20

The Contribution margin is:

= 9.20 * 9,900 units

= $91,080

Net operating income = Contribution margin - fixed cost

= 91,080 - 70,000

= $21,080

Halsted Corp. has identified three cost pools in its manufacturing process: equipment maintenance, setups, and quality control. Total cost assigned to the three pools is $214,500, $101,400, and $153,000, respectively. Cost driver estimates for the pools are 10,000 machine hours, 150 setups, and 450 quality inspections, respectively.

Required:
Calculate the activity rate for each of Halsted's cost pools.

Answers

Answer:

Maintenance $21.45 per Machine Hour

Setup $676 per Setup

Quality Control $340 per Inspection

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the activity rate for each of Halsted's cost pools.

Activity rate for MAINTENANCE COST

Using this formula

Activity rate= Total maintenance cost / Total machine hours

Let plug in the morning

Activity rate=$214,500/ 10,000

Activity rate= $21.45 per Machine Hour

Activity rate for SETUPS

Using this formula

Activity rate= Total Setups /Setups

Let plug in the formula

Activity rate= $101,400/150

Activity rate=$676 per Setup

Activity rate for QUALITY CONTROL

Using this formula

Activity rate= Total Quality control /Quality inspections

Let plug in the formula

Activity rate= $153,000/450

Activity rate= $340 per Inspection

Therefore the activity rate for each of Halsted's cost pools will be:

Maintenance $21.45 per Machine Hour

Setup $676 per Setup

Quality Control $340 per Inspection

g A construction company builds roads with machinery​ (capital, K) and labor​ (L). If we plot the isoquants for the production function so that labor is on the horizontal​ axis, then a point on the isoquant with a small MRTS​ (in absolute​ value) is associated with high​ __________ use and low​ __________ use. A. ​labor; capital B. ​concrete; gravel C. ​capital; labor D. None of the above.

Answers

Answer:

A. ​labor; capital

Explanation:

In the production function theory, here we presume that the isoquants should be convex shaped and the MRTS should be isoquant slop that should be downward as it is shifted from left to right. Now if it is along on the horizontal axis that goes towards right so here MRTS falls and the labor rises. Due to increased in labor, the capital should falls because of the negative slope

Therefore the option a is correct

The point on the isoquant with a small MRTS​ (in absolute​ value) is associated with high labor use and low capital use.

In a production function theory, we will presume that the isoquants should be convex shaped and the MRTS should be isoquant slop hence, should be downward as it is shifted from left to right.

if the MRTS is along on the horizontal axis that goes towards right, hence, the MRTS falls and the labor rises.

Hence, due to the increase in labor, the capital should falls because of the negative slope.

Therefore, the Option A is correct since the point on the isoquant with a small MRTS​ (in absolute​ value) is associated with high labor use and low capital use.

Which of the following is a major difference between a budget constraint and production possibilities frontier?

a. A production possibilities frontier conveys the relative prices of the two goods, whereas a budget constraint accounts for diminishing returns.
b. A production possibilities frontier is usually straight, whereas a budget constraint is typically curved.
c. A budget constraint typically has a constant slope, whereas the slope of a production possibilities frontier is usually different at various points.
d. There is no difference. They convey the same information.

Answers

Answer:

c

Explanation:

The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.  

The PPF is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.  

So, the PPF exhibits diminishing return. The slope of the PPF is different at different points. this makes the PPF a curve

the budget constraint is a straight line that shows the various combinations of goods a consumer can consume given her income. the budget constraint is a straight line because the slope is constant at each point on the curve

Also, the slope of the budget constraint is the relative prices of the two goods
