Answer:

units of output  = 2 units

fixed cost = 8

Explanation:

given data

SMC = 2 + 4Q

AVC = 2 + 2Q

to find out

how many units of output will it produce at a market price and what level of fixed cost will this firm earn zero economic profit

solution

we know here that  under perfect competition

so at the equilibrium here Price (P)  will be = MC

P = MC = 10

and

SMC = 2 + 4Q ,

P = 2 + 4Q

10 = 2 + 4Q

Q = 2 units

and

at zero economic profit we get

TR = TC    

TR = P × Q

TR = 10 × 2

TR = 20

so

TC = TFC + TVC

20 = TFC + 12    

TFC  = 8

because here [ TVC = AVC × Q ]

[ TVC = (2 + 2 × 2) × 2 ]  

[ TVC = 12 ]

Sales revenue to achieve target profit = (83,000 + 15,000)/0.4

$245,000.00

Fischer Company has outstanding 8,000 shares of $100 par value, 5% preferred stock, and 50,000 shares of $1 par value common sto
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "$130,000".

Explanation:

The given values are:

No. of common shares outstanding

= 50,000

Dividend per share

= $1.80

No. of preferred shares outstanding

= 8,000

Dividend per share

= $5

Now,

The total dividend on common shares will be:

=  No. \ of \ common \ shared \ outstanding\times Dividend \ per \ share

On substituting the values, we get

=  50,000\times  1.80

=  90,000 ($)

The total dividend on preferred stock will be:

=  No. \  of \ preferred \ shares \ outstanding\times Divided \ per \ share

On substituting the values, we get

=  8,000\times 5

=  40,000 ($)

Hence,

The total dividend paid by company will be:

=  Total \ dividend \ on \ common \ shares +Total \ dividend  \ on \  preferred \ stock

=  90,000+40,000

=  130,000 ($)

Thus the above is the correct answer.
