Answer:

(i) The farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units

(ii) The farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down

(iii) The two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200)

Explanation:

(i)According to given data, When output is 200 but price is $20, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm breaks even. But since this price is higher than AVC of $15, the farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units.

(ii) When output is 200 but price is $12, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm makes economic loss. Also, this price is lower than AVC of $15, so the farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down.

(iii) The farm's supply curve is the portion of its Marginal cost (MC) curve above the minimum point of AVC. Since price equals MC, the two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200).

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

Here, when the price of guppy gummies increases by 5%, the quantity of raskels sold decreases by 4% and the quantity of cannes sold increases by 5%.

i.e, % change in price of guppy grummies = 5%

% change in quantity of raskels = -4%

% change in quantity of cannes = 5%

i) Find the Cross price elasticity of demand between guppy grummies and raskels. Use the expression below.

% change in quantity demanded of raskels / % change in price of guppy gummies

= -4% / 5%

= -0.8

Substitute goods have a negative cross price elasticity of demand. Since, the cross price elasticity of demamd here is negative, the goods are substitute.

It is recommended not to advertise raskels with guppy grummies

ii) Find the Cross price elasticity of demand between guppy grummies and cannes. Use the expression below.

% change in quantity demanded of cannes / % change in price of guppy gummies

= 5% / 5%

= 1

Complement goods have a positive cross price elasticity of demand. Since, the cross price elasticity of demamd here is positive, the goods complement each other.

It is recommended to advertise cannes with guppy grummies.

Howard Co. had the following first-year amounts for a $7,000,000 construction contract: Actual costs $2,000,000 Estimated costs

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

estimated loss from the project is $1,000,000

correct option is a. ($1,000,000)

Explanation:

given data

contract price = $7,000,000

Actual costs = $2,000,000

Estimated costs = 6,000,000

Progress billings = 1,800,000

Cash collected = 1,500,000

to find out

What amount should Howard recognize as gross profit (loss)

solution

we get in the amount to complete the project that is

amount to complete = contract price - Actual costs - Estimated costs

amount to complete = $7,000,000 - $2,000,000 - 6,000,000

amount to complete = - $1000000

so estimated loss on project

so that the total $1,000,000 loss must be recognize

so correct option is a. ($1,000,000)

Depreciation--Jerry Company purchased machinery for $315,000 on May 1,2020 . It is estimated that it will have an useful life of

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The depreciation for the first year is $75,000

Explanation:

In working hours method the depreciation on a fixed asset is charged using the ratio of numbers of hours utilized by the asset in a period and lifetime working capacity in hours.

First, we need to calculate the Depreciable value

Depreciable value = Cost of Asset - Salvage value = $315,000 - $15,000 = $300,000

Depreciation = Depreciable value x Numbers of hours worked / Total working capacity of Asset = $300,000 x 25,000 / 100,000 = $75,000
