Suppose Nicholas owns a business making Christmas tree ornaments. Currently, he makes 300 ornaments a month. At this level of pr

oduction, each additional ornament takes him 30 minutes to make and costs him $5 in materials. Nicholas makes his ornaments in a small studio that he rents for $300 a month. Nicholas can easily increase or decrease the amount of time he spends making ornaments, and he can easily go to the store to buy additional materials to make the ornaments, but he has a year-long lease on his studio, so he has to pay his monthly rent no matter how many ornaments he produces each month. Nicholas values his time at $10 per hour. Other than his time, the cost of the materials and the rent on his studio, Nicholas has no additional production costs.
a At Nicholas's current level of production, what is the marginal cost of making an additional ornament each month?
b. At Nicholas's current level of production, what is the monthly average fixed cost of each ornament?
c. Assuming that it is not Nicholas's interest to shut down, should he change his current monthly level of production if he can sell each ornament for $15? If so, how should his production change?

1. He should not make any changes.
2. He should decrease the number of ornaments he makes each month.
3. He should increase the number of ornaments he makes each month.

d. How would Nicholas’s profit-maximizing level of output each month differ if his monthly rent were $350 instead of $300?

1. His profit-maximizing level of output would be higher.
2. His profit-maximizing level of output would be lower.
3. His profit-maximizing level of output would not change.

e. How would Nicholas’s profit-maximizing level of output each month differ if the materials to make each ornament cost $4 instead of $5?

1. His profit-maximizing level of output would not change.
2. His profit-maximizing level of output would be lower.
3. His profit-maximizing level of output would be higher.

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

1. MC = Cost of raw material + Cost of time

MC = 5 plus (10 divide by 2)

MC = $10

2.  TFC = $300

Q = 300 ,  AFC = TFC/Q = 300 divide by 300 = $1

3.  His profit maximizing output would be higher

Reason: P = MR = $15 ,  MC = $10

Since MR > MC, and at the profit maximizing point MR = MC, it is better for Nicholas to increase his output.

4.  His profit maximizing output would be higher

Reason: P = MR = $15 ,  MC = $4 + $5 = $9

Since MR > MC, and at the profit maximizing point MR = MC, it is better for Nicholas to increase his output.

Young people have their entire life to fix their bad investments and can invest into new things that are up and coming and developing. Older people don't have time for that and have to approach investments differently.</span>

Assume that a country has a closed economy that has only three goods/services. That is, there is no trade with other countries,
postnew [5]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given

Consumption = (10 x 30) = 300

Investment = (100 x 2) = 200

Government Spending = (500 x 1) =500

13. Total GDP for this economy = Consumption + Investment+ Government spending

=(10 x 30) + (100 x 2) + (500 x 1)

=$1000

14. Consumption % on GDP

= Consumption/ Total GDP x 100

=(300/1000) x 100

= 30%

15. Investment % in GDP

= Investment / Total GDP x 100

=(200/ 1000) x 100

=20%

16. Government spending % on GDP

=Government spending/ Total GDP x 100

=(500/1000) x 100

=50%

Sustainable Growth Rate You have located the following information on Rock Company: debt ratio = 46.5%, capital intensity ratio
Sliva [168]

Answer:

The correct answer is 10.72% ( Approx.).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Debt ratio = 46.5%

Capital intensity ratio = 2.51 times

Profit margins = 21%

Dividend payout = 38%

Formula to calculate sustainable growth rate ae as follows:

Sustainable growth rate = (Earnings retention rate × Return on equity ) / ( 1 - (ROE × RR)

where, Retention rate =(1 - dividend payout rate)

= (1-0.38) = 0.62

ROE = Profit margin × Total asset turonver × Equity multipler

= Profit margin × 1/capital intensity ratio × 1/(1-debt ratio)

= .21 × (1/2.51) × 1/(1-.465)

= .21 × 0.398 × 1.869

= 0.1562

=15.62%

So, Sustainable growth rate = (0.1562*0.62) / 1 - (0.1562*0.62)

= 0.096844 / 0.903156

= 0.1072

= 10.72% (approx.)

Hence, the correct answer is 10.72% (approx.).

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Yield to maturity is 7.93%

Yield to call is  7.83%

Explanation:

I calculated both the yield to maturity and yield to call using the rate formula in excel which is =rate(nper,pmt,pv,-fv)

nper is the year to maturity and year to call of 18 years and 8 years respectively.

pmt is the periodic coupon payment is 9%*1000=$90 in each case.

pv is the present value in each  case of $1100.35

The future value which is the redemption value is $1000 for yield to maturity and $1060 for yield to call
