Answer:
(a) What do you mean by production function? Distinguish between a short
period and a long period production function.
A production function is simply a function that describes the relation between input and output, input is the raw materiales or the intermediate goods that are used in the production process, and output is the finished goods.
A short period production function fixes all the variables except for one, while a long period production function allows for changes in all the variables.
(b) Explain the basis of increasing returns to scale.
Increasing returns to scale occurs when output increases more in proportion to input. That is to say, when the production process reaches a point in which for the same amount of input, more finished goods are produced.
(c) Why has welfare Economics accepted perfect competition as a desirable ideal?
Because perfect competition allows for minimum prices and maximum production, due to the internal structure and functioning of the system. While all other market structures lead to less than optimal outcomes due to excessive market power either from buyers or sellers, in perfect competition market power does not exist, and as a result, the market mechanism is allowed to function properly leading to the best possible outcome.
Answer:
11.63%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = $-278,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 9 = $52,000 - $5, 000 = $47,000
Cash flow in year 10 = $47,000 + $25,000 = $72,000
IRR = 11.63%
To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Answer:
The correct option is c. Debit Interest Receivable $250, credit Interest Revenue $250.
Explanation:
The interest revenue from this loan can be calculated as follows:
Interest revenue = Loan amount * (Number of days from November 1 to December 31 / Number of days in a year) * Interest rate .............. (1)
Where;
Interest revenue = ?
Loan amount = $18,750
Number of days from November 1 to December 31 = 60
Number of days in a year = 350
Interest rate = 8%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Interest revenue = $18,750 * (60 / 360) * 8%
Interest revenue = 250
Since it is a 120-day loan which implies that repayment is expected to be made after December 31, i.e. on 120th day, Lemming's end-of-period adjusting entry on December 31 should be Debit Interest Receivable for $250; and Credit Interest Revenue $250.
Therefore, the correct option is c. Debit Interest Receivable $250, credit Interest Revenue $250.

Explanation:
The reserve requirement is one of the monetary policies of the Fed used to increase or decrease the money supply in the economy. The Fed will require commercial banks a certain percentage of the cash deposits in their vaults as reserve. Through the reserves requirement, the Fed regulates the amount of money available to be loaned to firms and households.
The amount of reserve a bank is supposed to hold as reverse is dependent on its size. For example, small size banks whose transaction accounts are below 15.2 million are not required to hold reserve. Medium size banks that with transaction account that range from $15.2 million to $110.3 million are required to keep 3 percent of deposits as reserve. Large banks with transaction accounts above $110 million must hold 10 percent as reserve.
Answer:
c. John's capital account for $41,400
Explanation:
Based on this information it can be said that in this scenario the journal entry to record the admission of John as a new partner would include a credit to John's capital account for $41,400. This is mainly because even though Bobbi sold his interest for $63,900 his actual interest capital in the partnership was that of $41,400 .... meaning that John now holds a partnership capital of $41,400 and the Bobbi profited $22,500
