If the Market Equilibrium Wage Rate is $105.00 and FC = $1500.00: A. The firm Shuts Down and hires no workers and loses $1500.00
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: B. The firm hires 45 workers and earns a $1200.00 Economic Profit

Explanation:

According to the table, when the Market Equilibrium Wage Rate is $105, the number of workers to hire would be 45 and the revenue would be $7,425.

If 45 workers are hired, they would cost:

= 45 * 105 per worker

= $4,725

Added to the fixed cost, the total cost would be:

= 4,725 + 1,500

= $6,225

The profit would be:

= Revenue - cost

= 7,425 - 6,225

= $1,200

For purposes of computing the WACC, if the book value of equity exceeds the market value of equity, then: the market value of eq
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The market value of equity should be used.

Explanation:

Their are only two methods which are book value method or market value method. The market value method is preferred because the reason is that the market value gives the more accurate numerical value that the securities of the company will give which is the required rate of return to its investors. However historic cost data is not useful because the value of stock and bonds keeps changing every second in the stock exchange and their is the risk that the WACC calculated is inaccurate which implies that the project appraised is also incorrect.

So the best way to calculate the weighted cost of capital is that we should use the fair value of the securities.

Ierofanga [76]

The true statement out of all is

B) Georgeland has both an absolute and a comparative advantage in producing clothing.

Explanation:

This is because Absolute advantage is when one firm or a producer is able to produce more of a product using less resources or less time or more of the product in the same resources or same time as the other.

Comparative advantage is found out at the added bonus of having the product be as viable as it is advantageous which means that the producer could also be making another product and would have the advantage in that too so either one of them is equally profitable.
