Answer:

The answer is option A) The short run recommendation for a monopolistic firm is to remain at the current output level

Explanation:

In the short run, monopolistic firms could record losses but still continue to run in anticipation of a sustainable profit in the long run.

A self-employed profit-maximizing consultant specializing in monopolies understands that the short run losses experienced in a monopoly is also an advantage in that it reduces the participation of more players in the same industry/ market segment.

The best recommendation would be to remain at the current output level during the short run to cut losses, sustain patronage and then develop a long term strategy that will guarantee profitability in the long run.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

For the purchase​ option:

Buying price= ​$22 per unit.

For the make​ option:

Weekly rental payment of ​$30,800

The firm also has to hire five operators to help make product A. Each operator works eight hours per​ day, five days per week at the rate of ​$14 per hour.

The material cost for the make option is ​$15 per unit of product A.

A) We need to find the number of units that makes the unitary fixed costs= $7

Weekly rental= 30800

Direct labor= ($14*8 hours*5workes)*5 days= 2800

Total fixed costs= $33,600

Unitary fixed costs= total fixed costs/ Q

7=33600/Q

Q= 4800 units

B) Now Q= 6600

Buy= 6600*22= $145,200

Make= 6600*15 + 33600= $132,600

8.Kline and Salomon form the KS Partnership as 50/50 partners. Kline contributes equipment that has a fair market value of $60,0
mojhsa [17]

Answer: $40,000

Explanation:

Kline brings in equipment that is worth $60,000 but has a basis of $45,000.

The equipment however is subject to a loan of $10,000.

This loan will have to be deducted from the basis. The partnership however is assuming the loan and Kline is only 50% liable in the partnership so Kline's basis will only be affected by half of the loan.

Basis = 45,000 - 5,000

= $40,000
