Answer:
a. $50,000
b. 2.25 times
c. 0.75 times
Explanation:
a. The formula to compute the working capital is shown below:
Working capital = Current assets - current liabilities
where,
Current assets = Cash + accounts receivable + merchandise inventory
= $16,000 + $44,000 + $60,000
= $90,000
And, the current liabilities would be
= Wages payable + accounts payable
= $10,000 + $30,000
= $40,000
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would be equal to
= $90,000 - $40,000
= $50,000
b. Current ratio = Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities
= $90,000 ÷ $40,000
= 2.25 times
c. Acid-test ratio = Total Current assets - merchandise inventory ÷ total current liabilities
= $90,000 - $60,000 ÷ $40,000
= 0.75 times
Answer: 16 units more than social optimum.
DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96
Explanation:
Q=1200 - 4P and Q=-240 + 2P
In a free market quantity demand =quantity supplied
1200 -4P = -240 +2P
P =240
Sub P
Q* = 240
Socially optimal quantity is
Marginal social benefit (MSC)= marginal social cost(MSC), including external damage =MEC
MPC= marginal private cost =inverse of supply function
MPC = (1/2)*Q + 120
MEC=12
MSC =(MPC +MEC) = (1/2)Q +120 +12
MSC= MPB where MPB is marginal private benefit = inverse of demand functn
MPB = 300 -(1/4)Q
(1/2)Q + 132 =300 - (1/4)Q
Q° = 224
Difference btw Q* & Q° = 16 units more than social optimum.
DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96
Answer:
1. 6 magazines
2. 3 magazines
3.Opportunity cost of a pie = $ 12
4. 2 pies
Explanation:
Weekly budget = $ 24
To be spent on pie and magazine
Pie price $ 12
Magazine price $ 4
Maximum number of magazine to buy = spend the whole amount on magazine
=24/4
i) 6 magazines.
ii) If she buys 1 pie at 12 she will be left with (24-12)=$12
Number of magazine to buy with these $12
=$12/4
= 3 magazines
iii) Opportunity cost of a pie = $ 12
iv) Maximum number of pies= whole amount spend on pie
=$24/12
=2 pies
Answer:
A. Both types of firms produce at minimum ATC.
Explanation:
A monopolistic competition is when there are many buyers and sellers of differentiated goods and services.
A monopolistic competition is characterised by little or no barriers to entry or exit of firms. In the short run, if a firm is earning economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry and drive economic profit to zero. Also, if the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would leave the industry and economic profit would be zero.
A monopolistic competition doesn't produce at minimum ATC and as a result it operates with excess capacity.
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services.
There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry. So firms make zero economic profit in the long run.
It produces at minimum atc and where Mr equals mc.
