Answer: Reduce output

Explanation: Profit = Total Revenue – Total Costs

Therefore, profit maximization occurs therefore, profit maximization occurs at the most significant gap or the biggest difference between the total revenue and the total cost.

TC = AC×Q = $4×500 = $2,000

Theoretically, profit maximization occurs where MR = MC

From the forgoing, producing an extra unit will increase the cost of the company thereby reducing profit.

The company should reduced output to around 499 units or less

marishachu [46]

Answer:

The answer is "2.45%".

Explanation:

The answer of option c:

Reduce power by 950 dollars:

In this question it will need to once again take the latest energy cost for analytical hierarchical productivity.  

→ Total Input  = 400 \times  12+21000 \times 1 +(5000-950)+10000

                     = 4800 +21000 + (4050)+10000  \\\\                       = 25800+4050+10000 \\\\                       = 39850\\

Consumer rates  = \frac{1,000}{39,850}

                            =0.0250

Initial efficiency multi-factor= 0.0245

\to \text{percentage  changes} = \frac{\text{New Multi Factor Productivity - Previous Multi-Factor Productivity}}{\text{Originbal Multi-Factor Productivity}}  

                                   = \frac{(0.02450.0251)}{0.0245}\\\\ = 2.45 \ \  \%

Erica and Brett decide to form their new motorcycle business as an LLC. Each will receive an equal profits (loss) interest by co
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

$58,500

Explanation:

The outside basis is defined as the tax basis that a partner has on the partnership. To find it, the value of all the resources contributed by the partner is taken and the debt relief and any debt assigned is subtracted. To solve this exercise, we should follow these steps:

1. Determine the contributed capital.

According to the problem statement, Brett provided cash ($ 9,500) and a building (here the value of the adjusted base, $ 39,000, is taken). Therefore, the total contributions are $48,500.

2. Calculate capital increases.

The partnership obtained a loan for $59,000, which was shared equally among the partners. Therefore, Brett received 50%, that is, $29,500.

Now, we must add the contributed capital plus capital increases:

48,500+29,500=78,000

3. Calculate mortgage debt issues.

The nonresource mortgage is 44,000, a value that exceeds the basis of the contributed property. In that case, the surplus is taxed to the contributing partner. To determine it, simply subtract the nonresource mortgage less adjusted basis of the building:

44,000-39,000=5,000

On the other hand, the remaining mortgage on the building is calculated, by dividing the value of the adjusted base of the property, in this case, 39,000 by 2, which results in 19,500.

Therefore, mortgage debt issues are equivalent to:

5,000+19,500=24,500

We add the contributed capital plus capital increases plus mortgage debt issues:

78,000+24,500=102,500

4. Subtract debts.

The partnership assumes the nonrecourse mortgage (which is computed as a debt) for 44,000. Because this component is not covered entirely by Brett, then this amount must be deducted from his individual tax base.

Therefore:

102,500-44,000=58,500

58,500 is Brett´s outside tax basis in his LLC interest.

On a balance sheet, we can see it as follows:

Particulars                                Amount in $

Cash                                                9,500

+Adjusted basis of the                39,000
