Answer: The optimal price is higher than market price by less than $0.50.
Explanation:
Since, it was given that Coase theorem doesn't hold in this situation, hence, the social marginal cost is greater than the private marginal cost by $0.50. The social marginal cost curve lies towards the left of demand curve.
Since the demand and supply curve are not perfectly elastic or inelastic, so the optimal equilibrium occurs at a point (price) which is greater than the prevailing market price, but the difference in the price is less than $0.50.
Therefore, the optimal price is higher than market price by less than $0.50.
Answer: d. May not discriminate, subject to time lapse
Explanation:
Alphonso in this scenario may not discriminate by hiring a Latino because his worry is that they will be unable to fit in with his permanent workers. The extra workers are temporary workers who will be soon gone so there is no need for them to fit in that with the permanent workers so Alphonso may not discriminate based on this.
Answer:
920 (Unfavorable)
Explanation:
Labor rate variance = Actual direct labor hours (Actual direct labor rate - Standard direct labor rate)
Labor rate variance = 2,300 * ($21.7 - $21.3)
Labor rate variance = 2,300 * 0.4
Labor rate variance = 920 (Unfavorable)
Answer:
$18.60
Explanation:
Target cost:
= Sales revenue - Profit
= (No. of units sold × Selling price per unit) - (Investment require × desired return on investment)
= (20,000 × $21) - ($400,000 × 0.12)
= $420,000 - $48,000
= $372,000
Target cost per unit:
= Target cost ÷ Number of units
= $372,000 ÷ 20,000
= $18.60
Therefore, the target cost per unit is closest to $18.60.
