Demand function: Q = 48 - 2P

a) 2P = 48 - Q

Therefore the inverse Demand function is

P = 24 - Q/2

b) P = 24 - Q/2

Total Revenue = PQ = (24 - Q/2)*Q

TR = 24Q - Q2/2

MR = differentiating TR with respect to Q

MR = 24 - Q

We know a firm will maximize profit at MR = MC

TC = 6 + 3Q + Q2

MC = 3 + 2Q

Putting MR = MC, we have

24 - Q = 3 + 2Q

24 - 3 = 2Q + Q

21 = 3Q

Q = 21/3 = 7

Q = 7

Putting the value of Q in the equation P = 24 - Q/2

P = 24 - 7/2

P = 24 - 3.5

P = 20.5

Therefore the profit-maximizing output is 7 and the price is $20.5

c) TR = PQ = 20.5*7 = $143.5

TC = 6 + 3Q + Q2 = 6 + 3*7 + 7*7 = 6 + 21 + 49 = $76

Profit = TR - TC = 143.5 - 76 = $67.5

Therefore the firm's maximum profit is $67.5

d) a) entry will occur until profits are zero

In the long run, more and more firms will enter the market and the economic profit will be zero in the long run.

In economics, a Demand function is a graph depicting the connection between the price of a sure commodity and the amount of that commodity that is demanded at that fee. call for curves may be used both for the price-amount courting for a person client, or for all purchasers in a selected marketplace.

Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends.
Arturiano [62]

Answer: $8.81

Explanation:

To solve this, add the present values of the dividends from years 3, 4 and 5 and then add the present value of the terminal value of the stock at year 5.

Year 3 dividend = $0.50

Year 4 dividend = 0.50 * (1 + 49%) = $0.745

Year 5 dividend = 0.745 * 1.49 = $1.11005

= Dividend in year 3 / (1 + required rate of return)³ + Dividend in year 4 / (1 + required rate of return)⁴ + Dividend in year 5 / (1 + required rate of return)⁵ +   (Dividend in year 5 * (1 + growth rate) / ( required rate of return - growth rate ) ) / (1 + required rate of return)⁵

= 0.5 / 1.16³ + 0.745/1.16⁴ + 1.11005/1.16⁵ + ( 1.11005 / (16% - 9%)) / 1.16⁵

= $8.81

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

hello your question has a missing journal entry table attached below is the entry journal table completely filled

Explanation:

Amount of bonds acquired = 40% of original bond

i) Bonds payable = 40% * 1,300,000

                           = $520000

purchase price of bonds = $520000 * 96% ( FACE VALUE )

                                         = $499200

hence the annual amortization

(bonds payable - purchase price of bonds ) / 10 years - 2 years

(520000 - 499200 ) / 8  = $20800/8 = $2600

ii) premium on bonds payable

$20800 - $2600 = $18200

cash amount = $520000 * 8% = $41600

intra entity expense and income table is attached below

from the table

iii) intra-entity interest expense = $39000 and the

iv) intra-entity interest income = $44200

v) investment in bonds

purchase price of bonds + annual amortization

= $499200 + $2600 = $501800

the book value on bonds as at 1st January 2011

=$1300000 * 105% = $1365000

Premium on bonds as at January 1st 2011

= $1365000 - $1300000 = $65000

amortization of premium as at January 1st 2011

=( ($65000) / 10 years ) * 2 years

= $13000

hence the controlling interest in bonds payable = $540800

vi) gains on retirement bonds

=  $540800 - $499200 = $41600

attached below is the journal entry on 31st December 2013
