A delivery company is considering adding another vehicle to its delivery fleet; each vehicle is rented for $100 per day. Assume

that the additional vehicle would be capable of delivering 1,500 packages per day and that each package that is delivered brings in ten cents in revenue. Also assume that adding the delivery vehicle would not affect any other costs.
Required:
a. What is the MRP?
b. Now suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle doubles to $200 per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation?
c. Next suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle falls back down to $100 per day, but, due to extremely congested freeways, an additional vehicle would only be able to deliver 750 packages per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation?

Answer:

a. What is the MRP?

marginal revenue product = marginal product of labor x marginal revenue per output unit

MRP = 1,500 packages x $0.10 per package = $150

marginal resource cost (MRC) = $100 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)

The company should add the delivery truck because MRP is higher than MRC.

b. Now suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle doubles to $200 per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation?

MRP = $150 (doesn't change from question a)

MRC = $200 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)

The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.

c. Next suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle falls back down to $100 per day, but, due to extremely congested freeways, an additional vehicle would only be able to deliver 750 packages per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation?

MRP = 750 packages x $0.10 per package = $75

MRC = $100

The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.

When a competitive market is in​ equilibrium, what is the economically efficient level of​ output? A. any output level where mar
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. the output level where marginal cost is equal to marginal benefit .

Explanation:

Competitive equilibrium Traditional concept of economic equilibrium used for the analysis of  goods markets with flexible prices and many agents, which usually serve as a benchmark for efficiency in economic analysis. Crucially, it depends on the assumption of a context in which each agent makes decisions about such a small amount compared to the total amount traded in the market that their individual transactions have no influence on prices.

It consists of a price system and an allocation of the production and consumption of the economy among the various agents, such that, given the prices, each agent maximizing its objective function (benefits, preferences) subject to restrictions (technological, of resources) plans to trade its share in the proposed allocation, at prices that make all exchanges compatible with each other by balancing the markets, that is, matching the aggregate supply with the demand  aggregate of each of the goods and services traded.

Trusper Company was organized on January 1, Year 1 and has had 1,000 shares of $200 par value, 10% cumulative preferred stock ou
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

$50,000

Explanation:

Generally, preferred stockholders receive dividends earlier than common stockholders. Moreover, as the preference shareholders are cumulative, if they do not receive dividends current year, they will receive in the next year. Finally, preferred dividend is fixed until there are new issuance of preferred stock.

Preferred dividends for Year 1 = 1,000 shares × $200 × 10% = $20,000

For year 2 = $20,000

Given, total dividends in year 1 = $15,000

Therefore, company provides $15,000 to preferred dividends. No common dividends in year 1.

However, in the next year (Year 2), the company will pay $5,000 + $20,000 = $25,000 to preferences shareholders.

Therefore, remaining dividends are for common stockholders.

Year 2 common stockholders dividends = $75,000 - $25,000 = $50,000.

Orion would like to go on a trip to Ireland in two years. He wants to have $3,000 for the trip, so he is planning to invest mone
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The answer is: If Orion wants to have $3,000 in two years, he must invest $2,572.02 today

Explanation:

To determine how much money Orion has to invest today in order to have $3,000 in two years, considering he will get an 8% compound interest rate, we can use this formula:

P = FV / (1 + r)²    

Where:

  • FV = $3,000
  • r = 8%

P = $3,000 / (1 + 8%)²

P = $3,000 / 1.1664

P = $2,572.02
