Answer:
Firm should not shut down, as it is able to cover its Average Variable Cost
Explanation:
Perfect Competition firms in Short Run : The firms produce even if their average revenue (price) < their average total costs (AC). They continue production until Average variable cost (AVC) ≥ per unit price (P) i.e average revenue (AR). This is called Shut Down Point. P lower beyond AVC implies that firm won't continue even in short run.
Given : Variable Cost (VC) = 500 ; Revenue (R) = 510
Average Variable Costs & Average Revenue are variable costs & revenue, per unit quantity. AVC = VC / Q ; AR (P) = R / Q
R i.e 510 > VC i.e 500
So, R/ Q i.e AR is also > VC / Q i.e AVC
Since AVC > AR (P), firm should not shut down
Answer:
Explicit costs are the costs which requires the money to pay.
On the other hand, implicit costs refers to the benefit that is foregone by choosing some other work or doing some other activity.
Therefore,
Explicit costs are as follows:
1. Wages pays to his hired hand
2. Buys feed for his cows.
3. Gas expense that is used in truck
Implicit costs are as follows:
1. Foregone income of $27,000 from working at a dairy plant as a technician.
2. Time taken for extracting milk from all the cows.
Question Completion:
Production outputs
Luxland Leanderland
Chips 10 4
Pretzels 10 8
Total output 20 12
Answer:
Assuming that Luxland and Leanderland specialize and trade in a way that is advantageous for both of them, the number of pretzels that Leanderland can produce will be 16.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Specialization Output:
Luxland Leanderland
Chips 20 0
Pretzels 0 16
Total output 20 16
b) While it is acknowledged that Luxland has absolute advantage in the production of both chips and pretzels when compared to Leanderland, the total output for both economies, without specialization, remains 32 units (of both chips and pretzels). When they specialize, Leanderland's output increases to 16 units from 12. This results in total output of 36 units instead of 32 for both economies.
Answer:
B. Kim will win, because the bonus is a reward for work they have already performed, which is past consideration and cannot be used to create a contract.
Explanation:
In order for a contract to be enforceable, consideration must be exchanged between both parties. In this case, Kim made a promise that included consideration ($3,500) but Gold didn't exchange of give anything back. The swimming pool is already finished and it represents another different contract.
Another example would be a boss telling a subordinate that he/she will receive a bonus for having worked 10 years in the firm. The employee already got paid for working the 10 years, so there is no actual exchange of new consideration.
Answer:
The amount that you should have saved in your retirement account to receive this income is:
= $727,995.88.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected lifespan = 24 years
Expected annual income = $75,000
Interest rate per year = 9%
The amount of savings in the retirement account to receive this income is calculated from an online financial calculator as follows:
N (# of periods) 24
I/Y (Interest per year) 9
PMT (Periodic Payment) 75000
FV (Future Value) 0
Results
PV = $727,995.88
Sum of all periodic payments = $1,800,000.00
Total Interest = $1,072,004.12
