Suppose there are two firms (1 and 2) located along a surface water resource and that the profit functions of each firm are prov

ided below, where 7iNSYsLDJFEN13ZU0zrrDQ8e1tBLr7r8AAAAAElF is the quantity of water used by firm i.
Firm a:wPHcbYArNlLhwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==

Firm b: O4fW7gxNIFgAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==

If each firm uses the amount of water that maximizes its own profits, what is the total quantity of water that will be used?
Suppose that there are only 20 total units of water available. What is the allocation of the 20 units of water across the two firms that maximizes total profits?
Relative to the allocation of water that you found in part (b), by how much do total profits decrease if the 20 units are instead evenly distributed to the two firms (in other words, each firm is allocated 10 units of water)?

Mr. Ballard retired in 2018 at age 69 and made his first withdrawal of $35,000 from his traditional IRA. At year-end, the IRA ba
serg [7]

Answer:

a)

Contributions amounting to $320,000 were non deductible.

<u>First year of withdrawal:</u>

Taxfree withdrawal % = Uncovered Investments / Current year value x 100

Taxfree withdrawal % = [$320,000 / ($441,000 + $35,000)] x 100

Taxfree withdrawal % = [$320 / $476,000] x 100

Taxfree withdrawal % = 67.23%

Amount of taxfree withdrawal = 67.23% x $35,000

Amount of taxfree withdrawal = $23,530.5

Taxable amount = Total Withdrawal - Tax free withdrawal

Taxable amount = $35,000 - $23,530.5

Taxable amount = $11,469.5

<u>Second year of withdrawal:</u>

Taxfree withdrawal % = [($320,000 - $23,530.5) / ($407,000 + $60,000)] x 100

Taxfree withdrawal % = [$296, 469.5 / $467,000] x 100

Taxfree withdrawal % = 63.48%

Amount of taxfree withdrawal = 63.48% x $60,000

Amount of taxfree withdrawal = $38,088

Taxable amount = $60,000 - $38,088

Taxable amount = $21,912

b)

$35,000 would be included in taxable income in first year and $60,000 would be included in taxable income in second year.

zlopas [31]

Answer:

The increase in savings resulting directly from this change in income is $500

The marginal propensity to save (MPS) is 0.25

Explanation:

In order to calculate The increase in savings resulting directly from this change in income we would have to make the following calculation:

increase in savings resulting directly from this change in income= increase in income - increase in consumption

increase in savings resulting directly from this change in income= $2,000 - $1,500

increase in savings resulting directly from this change in income=$500

The Marginal propensity to save = increase in savings/increase in income =

Marginal propensity to save = $500/$2.000

Marginal propensity to save =0.25

dedylja [7]

Answer:

-$3,547 unfavorable

Explanation:

For the computation of labor rate variance for January first we need to find out the standard direct labor cost which is shown below:-

Standard Direct labor cost = Produced units × Standard quantity of direct labor × Standard price of direct labor

= 3,440 × 0.8 × $33

= $90,816

Labor rate Variance = Standard direct labor cost - Actual labor cost

= $90,816 - $94,363

= -$3,547 unfavorable

Therefore for computing the labor rate variance we simply applied the above formula.
