Answer:
The firm should increase output and reduce price
Explanation:
For a monopolist, there can be one of the following three scenarios at a time point in time:
Scenario one, MR = MC: For a monopolist, profit is maximized at the point where marginal revenue (MR) is equal to to marginal cost (MC), i.e. where MR = MC.
Scenario two, MR < MC: But when the MR < MC, it indicates that the monopolist is currently producing a higher quantity of output and it is not maximizing profit. In order to maximize profit, the monopolist has to reduce output until MR = MC.
Scenario three , MR > MC: But when the MR > MC, it indicates that the monopolist is currently producing a lower quantity of output and it is not maximizing profit. In order to maximize profit, the monopolist has to increase output until MR = MC. Also, the monopolist has to reduce price in order to sell the increased quantity of output.
From the question, the monopolist falls into scenerio three as MR > MC, i.e. $45 > $35. Therefore, the monopolist should increase output until MR = MC and reduce price in order to maximize profit.
Answer:
Cost of equity = 10.7%
Explanation:
<em>We will work out the required rate of return using the the dividend valuation model. The model states that the value of a stock is the present value of the future divided discounted at the cost of equity.
</em>
The model is given below:
P = D× (1+g)/(r-g)
P- price of stock, D- dividend payable now, g- growth rate in dividend, r- cost of equity
So we substitute
130 = 5.50× (1+r)/(r-0.06)
cross multiplying
(r-0.06)× 130 = 5.50 × (1+r)
130 r- 7.8 = 5.50 + 5.50r
collecting like terms
130 r - 5.50r=5.50 + 7.8
124.5 r= 13.3
Divide both sides by 124.5
r =13.3 /124.5= 0.1068
r=0.1068 × 100= 10.7%
Cost of equity = 10.7%
Answer:
b-the costs incurred to process the units to this point
Explanation:
Since in the question it is given that the company want to decide whether to sell partially completed goods or should incurred extra cost in order to finished the goods and sells them as a completed unit
So there should be the decision regarding selling price for the units that are completed, the selling price for the units that are partially completed and the cost i.e to be incurred for finishing the units
Answer:
-$8,600
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Distributions = $44,000
Basis = $42,000
Amount of ordinary income allocated = $10,600
Now,
Capital gain from distribution in excess of basis
= Distribution - Basis - Amount of ordinary income allocated
= $44,000 - $42,000 - $10,600
= -$8,600
here, negative sign depicts there is a capital loss
Answer:
B. will be horizontal.
