When the marginal benefit of an output exceeds the marginal cost?

1 answer:

7 0

Are there options to choice from?

Marginal benefit (MB) corresponds with the demand curve, and the marginal cost (MC) corresponds with the supply curve. The equilibrium point is where the demand curve intersects the supply curve. At this point, MB = MC, and allocative efficiency is met.

When there is allocative efficiency, there is no deadweight loss, and total market surplus is maximized. This means that consumers are paying less than the value they place on the good or service, while producers are charging more than their minimum price.

In order for allocative efficiency to be achieved, production needs to be increased. The demand curve has a negative slope, and the supply curve has a positive slope. So at some point after production is increased, MB will equal MC.

g100num [7]

Mark Brainliest please

Sommer Inc is considering the new project, and yet we have to calculate under what circumstances the company have to take on the project. In order to assess the project, we need to compute the break-even cost such as the present value of future cash flows and calculate the WACC weighted cost of capital. It measures the weighted cost of equity and the after tax cost of debt. The following information are given: Debt to equity ratio = 0.90 Cost of equity = 13% After-tax cost of debt = 4.8% After-tax cost of savings = $2.7 million Debt to equity ratio = Debt / Equity = 0.90 Therefore, Value of firm = value of debt + value of equity Value of firm = 0.90E + E Value of firm

A the production possibilities frontier (PPF) is bowed outward as a result of:_________

vodomira [7]

Answer: 2) increasing opportunity costs.

Explanation:

The Production Possibilities frontier is bowed out as it shows that for one more unit of a good to be produced, an additional unit of the other good must be given up.

This represents increasing opportunity costs because opportunity cost is the cost we incur for choosing one alternative over another. By producing more and more of one good, we give up more and more of the other good which means that our opportunity cost rises.

Answer:

Retained Earnings (Dr.) $8,000,000

Dividends Payable (Cr.) $8,000,000

June 30th

Dividends Payable (Dr.) $8,000,000

Cash (Cr.) $8,000,000

These entries will remain same even in the case of liquidating dividend.

Explanation:

On June 1st the dividend is declared so the journal entry will be

Retained Earnings (Dr.) $8,000,000

Dividends Payable (Cr.) $8,000,000

There will be no journal entry on June 14th.

On June 30th the dividend is paid:

Dividends Payable (Dr.) $8,000,000

Cash (Cr.) $8,000,000

The entry would not have differed if it was a liquidating dividend.
