Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production:

Estimated inventory (units), August 1 12,000

Desired inventory (units), August 31 2,000

Expected sales volume (units), August 75,000

For each unit produced, the direct materials requirements are as follows:

Direct material A ($5 per pound) 3Ibs

Direct material B ($15 per pound) 1/2 Ib

First, we need to determine the number of pounds required.

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 75,000 + 2,000 - 12,000= 65,000 units

Purchases in pounds:

Direct material A= 65,000*3= 195,000

Direct material B= 65,000*0.5= 32,500

Total pounds= 227,500

Now, the cost of direct material:

Direct material cost:

Direct material A= 195,000*5= $975,000

Direct material B= 32,500*15= $487,500

Total= $1,462,500

The demand and supply functions for basic cable TV in the local market are given as: Calculate the consumer and producer surplus

lana [24]

Answer: Hello your question is poorly written attached below is the complete question

answer:

a) Cs = 800,000 , Ps = 1,500,000

b) Cs = 1437500, Ps = 525,000

Explanation:

Demand function ( Qd ) = 200,000 - 4000 P

supply function ( Qs ) = 20,000 + 2000 P

at equilibrium : 200,000 - 4000P = 20,000 + 2000P

therefore ; P = 180,000 / 6000 = 30

Q = 20,000 + 2000 ( 30 ) = 80,000

a) Determine consumer and producer surplus in the market

consumer surplus ( Cs ) This is the area above the price and below the demand curve = 1/2 * ( 50 - 30 ) 80,000 = 800,000

producer surplus ( Ps ) This is the area above supply and below price

= 30 * ( 80,000 ) - 1/2 (80,000 - 20,000 ) (30)

= 1,500,000

b) Determine the new levels of consumer and producer surplus with a price ceiling of $15

Pc (ceiling price ) = $15

Qd = 200,000 - 4000 ( 15 ) = 140,000

Qs = 20,000 + 2000 ( 15 ) = 50,000

∴ New consumer surplus = area ( a , Pc, b, d )

= ( 30 - 15 ) (50,000) + 1/2(50-30) (80,000) - 1/2 (80,000 - 50,000 ) (37.5 - 30)

= 1437500

New producer surplus = area ( Pc , b, e 0 )

= ( 15 ) ( 50000) - 1/2 ( 50,000 - 20,000 ) (15)

= 525,000

An investor is considering two investment, an office building and bonds. He can only invest on of them. The possible return from

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

1) Calculate the expected return and variance of investing in office building.

expected return:

$50,000 x 0.3 = $15,000

$60,000 x 0.2 = $12,000

$80,000 x 0.1 = $8,000

$10,000 x 0.3 = $3,000

$0 x 0.1 = $0

expected return = $38,000

$50,000 - $38,000 = -$12,000² = $144,000,000

$60,000 - $38,000 = -$22,000² = $484,000,000

$80,000 - $38,000 = -$42,000² = $1,764,000,000

$10,000 - $38,000 = -$28,000² = $784,000,000

$0 - $38,000 = -$38,000² = $1,444,000,000

expected variance: (0.3 x $144,000,000) + (0.2 x $484,000,000) + (0.1 x $1,764,000,000) + (0.3 x $784,000,000) + (0.1 x $1,444,000,000) = $43,200,000 + $96,200,000 + $176,400,000 + $235,200,000 + $144,400,000 = $695,400,000

standard deviation = √$895,800,000 = $26,370

2) Calculate the expected return and variance of investing in bonds.

expected return:

$30,000 x 0.4 = $12,000

$40,000 x 0.6 = $24,000

expected return = $36,000

$30,000 - $36,000 = -$6,000² = $36,000,000

$40,000 - $36,000 = $4,000² = $16,000,000

expected variance: (0.4 x $36,000,000) + (0.6 x $16,000,000) = $14,400,000 + $9,600,000 = $24,000,000

standard deviation = √$24,000,000 = $4,899

3) Based on the expected return we should choose investing in a building, but if we consider the variance and the standard deviation of the investments, I would choose investing in bonds. The difference in expected returns is not that large (only $2,000) but the variance and standard deviations of investing in the office buildings is quite large, meaning that the risk is very high.

Round Dot Inns Is preparing a bond offering with a coupon rate of 6 percent, paid semiannually, and a face value of $1,000. The

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

a.The bonds will sell at a premium if the market rate is 5.5 percent.

Explanation:

Following information provided in the question

Coupon rate = 6%

Face value = $1,000

Time period = 10 years

And if we consider the interest rate 5.5%

So as we can see than the interest rate or market rate is less than the coupon rate or we can say that the coupon rate is more than the market rate so the bond is sell at a premium
