A perfectly competitive firm maximizes its profit by________.

Business
1 answer:
olganol [36]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market has large number of sellers producing homogenous products. As a result, no single firm is able to affect the price level. So all the firms have their individual demand curves as a horizontal line at the price level.

This demand curve also represents marginal revenue. The firm is able to maximize profit when the price and marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost.

Here, the revenue earned from the last unit of product is equal to the cot incurred in producing the last unit.

Missing information:

How much is the value of full costing ending inventory?

Answer:

$8,750

Explanation:

1,000 units were produced and 800 were sold, so ending inventory = 200 units

total production cost per unit (under full costing) = $35,000 / 800 = $43.75

ending inventory = $43.75 x 200 = $8,750

Full costing basically refers to absorption costing, which calculates COGS using both variable and fixed costs (total production costs).

Abe and Bea each have some money to invest in a CD (Certificate of Deposit). Abe has $5,000 and Bea has $20,000. Both are intere
hjlf

Answer:

Abe = $17.5

Bae = $57.5

Explanation:

Abe's principle = $5,000

Bea's principle = $ 20,000

Abe individual investment yield at 0.41% = (5010-5000) = $10

Bae's individual investment yield at ) 0.50%= (20000-20050) $50

Combined investment yield at 6 % = (25,075 - (20,000+5000) = $75

Extra interest yield = (75-(50+10) = $15

The extra interest yield of $15 should be shared equally among Abe and Bae as a result of joint effort

= 15/2 - $7.5

Therefore , the $75 interest is shared as below

Abe = $10 (interest on individual principle)+$7.5 = $17.5

Bae = $50 (interest on individual principle)+$7.5 = $57.5

Sarah's Muffler Shop has one standard muffler that fits a large variety of cars. Sarah wishes to establish a reorder point syste
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Best reorder size = 216

Reorder point = 35

Explanation:

Required:

Using the above information, find the best order size and the reorder point.

To find the best order size, EOQ, use the formula:

EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H}}

= \sqrt{\frac{2*3500*50}{0.25*30}}

= \sqrt{\frac{350000}{7.5}}

= 216.02

Best reorder size is 216 mufflers

To find the reorder point, use the formula:

R = d' L + z \sigma_L

Where d' = average daily demand

L = lead time in days

z = number of standard deviation from a specified probability

\sigma_L = standard deviation of usage in lead time

Daily demand, d'= \frac{3500}{300} = 12

12 mufflers

Since lead time is 2 working days, standard deviation of lead time \sigma_L = \sqrt{2} * 6 = 8.48

Therefore,

R = d' L + z \sigma_L

= (12 * 2) + (1.28 * 8.48)

= 24 + 10.9

= 34.9

Approximately 35

Reorder point is = 35 mufflers
