<span>If the government has decided that tossed orange peels impose a negative on the public that must be rectified by imposing a $4 per bag, then the new equilibrium price is,
p* = $9 ( when the quantity of bag is 1)
In that time the new equilibrium quantity is, q* = 5 bag(s).
If the new equilibrium quantity (5) is the optimal quantity, before some bags were oranges being overproduced that is,
q* = 1 bag(s)</span>
Answer:
Profit Maximisation
Explanation:
Profit is the difference between total revenue (receipts) from sale & total cost (expenditure) on production.
Total Revenue = Price x Quantity ; Total Cost = Average Cost x Quantity
Economists study all the producer behaviour, based on assumption that : Goal of firm is Profit Maximisation.
Maximising Profit implies maximising the difference between Total Revenue & Total Cost [ TR - TC] . This further leads to producer equilibrium rule of Marginal Revenue = Marginal Cost [MR = MC] ; i.e additional revenue per unit sold equals additional cost per unit production.
Answer:
There is a 1,500 gain
Explanation:
we have commercial subtance so we can recognize gain/loss
these will be the numebrs of the transaction:
truck
purchase 24,000
acc depreciation 17, 000
book value 7, 000
equipment 8,000
cash 500
total 8,500
received - given up = gain/loss
8,500 - 7,000 = 1,500 gain
the journal entry would be
Equipment 8,000 debit
cash 500 debit
acc dep truck 17,000 debit
Truck 24,000 credit
gain on disposal 1,500 credit
