Nastasia [14]2 years ago

A technological efficiency is achieved, when a given output achieves the maximum possible output.

<h3>Why the pizzeria is technologically efficient?</h3>

a) Suppose Tony operates Plant 2. He hires 2 workers and produces 20 pizzas a day. Is the pizzeria technologically efficient? Why or why not?

The firm is not technologically efficient. The production function shows that with 2 ovens and 2 workers it is possible to produce 22 pizzas a day.

b) Suppose Tony operates Plant 1. He hires 2 workers and produces 18 pizzas per day. Is Tony's Pizza technologically efficient? Why or why not? Can Tony increase production to 22 pizzas a day in the short run? If yes, how?

Tony's Pizza technologically efficient. The production function shows that 18 pizzas is maximum output that 2 workers can produce with 1 oven. Tony can increase production to 22 pizzas per day in the short run by hiring more labor.

c) Suppose Tony operates Plant 3. What is the marginal product of labor when the fourth worker is hired? When operating Plant 3, does Tony experience diminishing marginal returns? Explain.

When the 4th worker is hired, the marginal product of labor is the change in output, 40 pizzas-33pizzas= 7 pizzas, divided by the change in the labor input, 1 worker. So, the marginal product of labor for the 4th worker is 7 pizzas per day.

Tony experiences diminishing marginal returns because the marginal product of labor diminishes as more workers are hired.

d) Suppose Tony currently uses Plant 3. Can he increase production from 40 to 50 pizzas per day in the short run? In the long run? If yes, how?

If Tony uses Plant 3, he cannot increase production from 40 to 50 pizzas per day in the short run. The short-run production function for plant 3 shows that the maximum output that the firm can produce with this plant is 48 pizzas per day.

YEAR 2

Sales of Mini Mochi Munch                   $6,310,000

Other Sales                                           $2,380,000

EBIT                                                       $2,803,500

Income Tax at 35%                                  $981,225

Unlevered Net Income                         $1,822,275

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Advertising campaign expenses = $4.13 million

Incremental sales revenue from Mini Mochi Munch = $8.31 million

Next years incremental sales revenue from Mini Mochi Munch = $6.31 million

Incremental sales revenue from other products = $2.38 million each year

Gross profit margin or the Mini Mochi Munch = 35%

Gross profit margin for other products = 25%

Marginal corporate tax rate = 35%

Cost of goods sold:

Year 1:

Mini Mochi Much = 65% (100 - 35%) of sales = 65% * $8.31 m = $5,401,500

Other products = 75% (100 - 25%) of sales = 75% * $2.38 m =   $1,785,000

Total cost of goods sold = $7,186,500

Year 2:

Mini Mochi Much = 65% (100 - 35%) of sales = 65% * $6.31 m = $4,101,500

Other products = 75% (100 - 25%) of sales = 75% * $2.38 m =   $1,785,000

Total cost of goods sold = $5,886,500

b) The company will incur a loss in the first year, which will be recovered by the second year's profit, because advertising expense are not capitalized or spread over the two years.

Two identical firms that share a market and produce a homogenous good will find the Bertrand Oligopoly LEAST attractive because
inn [45]

Answer:

The correct answer that fills the gap is: Cartels generate the highest joint profit, they want to avoid a price war that leads to profit erosion and P=MC, a cournot oligopoly will generate more profit than a bertrand oligopoly

Explanation:

In Bertrand's model, consumers will buy the goods of the company that offers the lowest price. From this it can be intuited that the Nash equilibrium will be the one in which both companies set the same price. For this reason it is not attractive, since they are competition and for some of the two it may not be profitable to decrease the sale price of their products.

Ket [755]
