Answer:
Each company drills two wells and experiences a profit of $22 million.
Explanation:
If each company acts independently and drills two oil wells each they will have a total of 4 wells each worth (60 million ÷ 4= $15 million.
Each company will have two oil wells which equals (2* 15 million = $30 million)

Therefore the profit for each company will be $30 million - $8 million= $22 million

Answer:
First we need to first find the equilibrium quantity and price during normal times.
The equilibrium price in normal times is P=$3 and the equilibrium quantity is 55 bottles.
During the hurricane, the government will set a price ceiling of $3. We can infer from the table that the quantity supplied at P=$3 is 55 bottles while the quantity demanded during hurricane at the price of $3 per bottle is 105 bottles. Hence,
105-55= 50
During a hurricane, there would be a shortage of 50 bottles of water.
If there were no price ceiling, then the equilibrium price would be such that the quantity demanded during hurricane equals the quantity supplied. From the table we can see that the equilibrium price would in that case be P=$5 per bottle where the equilibrium quantity is 85 bottles. With the price ceiling only 55 bottles are available for trading. Now without the price ceiling 85 bottles are available.
Hence consumers would have to pay an additional $2 (=5-3) but they can now buy an additional 30 bottles [=85-55].
Without the antiprice gouging law, consumers would have to pay $2 more than the ceiling price, but they would bv able to buy 30 more bottles of water.
Answer:
$73.86 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the cost per unit under the absorption costing is as follows
= Direct material per unit + Direct labor per unit + variable overhead per unit + fixed overhead per unit
where,
Variable overhead cost per unit
= $288,000 ÷ 36,000 units
= $8 per unit
And, the fixed overhead cost per unit is
= $102,920 ÷ 36,000 units
= $2.86 per unit
So the cost per unit is
= $32 + $31 + $8 + $2.86
= $73.86 per unit
