Give the formulas for and plot average fixed cost, AFC, marginal cost, MC, average variable cost, AVC, and average cost, AC,

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

AFC = $\frac{TFC}{q}$

MC = $\frac{d}{dq}$ TC

AVC = $\frac{TVC}{q}$

AC = $\frac{TC}{q}$

Explanation:

The cost function is given as $C=9+q^{2}$ .

The fixed cost here is 9, it will not be affected by the level of output.

The variable cost is $q^{2}$ .

AFC = $\frac{9}{q}$

MC = $\frac{d}{dq}$ TC

MC = $\frac{d}{dq}$ $C=9+q^{2}$

MC = 2q

AVC = $\frac{TVC}{q}$

AVC = $\frac{q^2}{q}$

AVC = q

AC = $\frac{TC}{q}$

AC = $\frac{[tex]C=9+q^{2}$ }{q}[/tex]

AC = $\frac{9}{q} +q$

Westkost [7]

Answer:

$2,466,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Cash Received = $1,600,000

Mortgage assume by purchaser = $950,000

Broker's commission = $75,000

points paid by seller = $9,000

Peyton's amount realized:

= Cash Received + Mortgage assume by purchaser - broker's commission - points paid by seller

= $1,600,000 + $950,000 - $75,000 - $9,000

= $2,466,000

Therefore, the amount realized by Peyton is $2,466,000.

Answer:

Book Value Market Value

Current Assets $14 m $14.95 m

Fixed Assets $18 m $27 m

Total $32 m $41.95 m

Explanation:

For book Value:

Net fixed assets=$18.00 million

Current Liabilities=$7.50 million

net working capital=$6.50 million

Formula:

Net working capital=Current assets-Current Liabilities

$6.50 million=Current assets-$7.50 million

Current Assets=$6.50+$7.50

Current Assets=$14 million

Total Assets=Net fixed assets+Current Assets

Total Assets=$18 m+$14 m

Total Assets=$32 m

For Market Value:

Net fixed assets=$27.00 million

Current Liabilities=$7.50 million

net working capital=$7.45 million

Formula:

Net working capital=Current assets-Current Liabilities

$7.45 million=Current assets-$7.50 million

Current Assets=$7.45+$7.50

Current Assets=$14.95 million

Total Assets=Net fixed assets+Current Assets

Total Assets=$27 m+$14.95 m

Total Assets=$41.95 m

Book Value Market Value

Current Assets $14 m $14.95 m

Fixed Assets $18 m $27 m
