Answer:

Wage rate = $34.16

E = 3,750

Explanation:

(a) As monopsonist’s demand for labor is written as VMPE = 40 - 0.004ED and the firm’s marginal cost of hiring workers when it hires off of this supply schedule is MCE = 5 + 0.02ES.

Now VMPE = MCE  is the point when monopsonist will be hiring labor.

Calculations:

40 - 0.004E = 5 + 0.02E  

40 - 5 = 0.02E + 0.004E

0.024E = 35

E = 35 / 0.024

E = 1,458 (approx)

Calculating Wage rate:

As the firm’s marginal cost of hiring workers when it hires off of this supply schedule is MCE = 5 + 0.02E(s)

therefore by putting the value of E(s) in the above formula, we get

Wage rate = 5 + (0.02 x 1,458)

Wage rate = 5 + 29.16

Wage rate = $34.16

(b) When it must pay a minimum wage of $25:

As monopsonist’s demand for labor is written as VMPE = 40 - 0.004ED

VMPE:

25 = 40 - 0.004E

0.004E  = 40 - 25

0.004E = 15

E = 15 / 0.004

E = 3,750

Mission Foods produces two flavors of tacos, chicken, and fish, with the following characteristics:
postnew [5]

Answer:

1. $858,000

2. Chicken = 24,000 units and Fish = 36,000 units

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. The anticipated level of profits for the expected sales volumes is

= Expected sales of chicken × (Selling price per taco - Variable cost per taco) +  Expected sales of fish × (Selling price per taco - Variable cost per taco) - total fixed cost

= 200,000 × ($3 - $1.50) + 300,000 × ($4.50 - $2.25) - $117,000

= $300,000 + $675,000 - $117,000

= $858,000

2. The break even volume is

Let we assume the sale units be X

So, total units sold for chicken = 40X

And, for the fish it is = 60X

Sale units of chicken × (Selling price per taco - Variable cost per taco) + Sale units of chicken × (Selling price per taco - Variable cost per taco) = Total Fixed cost

0.40X × (3 – 1.50) + 0.60X × (4.50 – 2.25) = $117,000

0.60X + 1.35X = $117,000

1.95X = $117,000

So, the X is 60,000 units

So for chicken it is 60,000 × 40% = 24,000 units

And for fish it is 60,000 × 60% = 36,000 units

Congress missed the fact that various agencies with responsibility for supervising the banking industry were negligent in identi
stira [4]

Answer:

oversight.

Explanation:

Oversight can be defined as an unintentional failure to notice a mistake or error, or an unintentional failure to act upon an event caused by an error.

Both the FED and the SEC should have noticed that the financial system was in a really bad shape way before Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers collapsed, or AIG (and others) needed a huge bailout. Apparently both the FED and SEC were all too optimistic about the market and their optimism blinded them. As always the consequences of negligent public servants were paid mostly by the average taxpayer.
