Answer:

A Price: Remain constant, Level of Output: Remain constant, Profits: Increase

Explanation:

The image attached shows the different possible solutions. Options can be eliminated based on the problem statement. First, Options B, C and D can be discounted because of the change in output levels. From the information available, the technological innovation lowers marginal cost and cost of production, however it does not affect production time or output levels.

For the two remaining options, A and E, both are possible scenarios based on the information available.

Option E:

Price decreases, output level remains the same and profit remains the same. While this is a possible outcome, as the business is a monopoly, there is no incentive for the monopolist to reduce prices along with cost as they are already the only player in the market. Especially when the reduction in price does not result in increased profit.

Option A:

Price and output level remain constant, while profit increases. This is the most likely outcome as the business is a monopoly. The owner can take advantage of the reduced costs and sell at the same price to increase profits.

Answer:

$2,200,000 gain

Explanation:

When the amount received from the disposal of an asset is lower than the carrying or net book value (NBV) of the asset, the company makes a loss on disposal otherwise, the company makes a gain on disposal.

The carrying amount of the asset is the difference between the asset's cost and accumulated depreciation as at the date of disposal.

Asset NBV = $2,000,000 - $1,200,000

= $800,000

Gain/(loss) on disposal = $3,000,000 - $800,000

= $2,200,000

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

$700

Explanation:

If a bond is issued at a lower price than the face value of the bond, then the bond is issued on the discount. This discount is amortized over the bond's life. This amortization will be expensed as Interest Expense.

Discount = Face value - Issuance price = $15,000 - $14,700 = $300

Bond's Life = 6 years

Amortization of discount = $300 / 6 = $50 annually = $25 semiannually

Coupon Payment = Face Value x coupon Rate = $15,000 x 9% = $1.350 annually = $675 semiannually

Interest Expense Includes both the coupon payment and discount amortization for the period.

Interest Expense = $675 + $25 = $700
