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.

The statement is False as when the balance sheets for the two companies are submitted to investors, they are not obligated to disclose the same amount of net fixed assets.

The Property, Plant, and Equipment classification is used to categorize fixed assets on a company's balance sheet. The cost of fixed assets is decreased on the balance sheet by depreciating them over the course of their useful lives in order to account for wear and tear. Both firms started off with $1 million worth of identical fixed assets when they first opened their doors two years ago, and neither one has sold or added any new ones. So, they are not supposed to report the same amount of fixed assets to investors since there is an absence of asset purchases.

Both current assets and fixed assets are listed on the balance sheet, with current assets intended for use immediately or for cash conversion and fixed assets for longer-term usage (more than one year).

Answer:

The IRR is 10%.

Explanation:

a) Calculation of Internal Rate of Return (IRR):

We choose a discount rate, say 10% and use it to discount the cash flows to their present values. If the net present value (NPV) of all the cash flows equals zero, then that discount rate is accepted as the IRR.

b) Without 10% discount rate, the discount factors are for:

1st year = 1.1 (1 + discount rate) raised to power 1

2nd year = 1.21 (1 + discount rate) raised to power 2

3rd year = 1.331 (1 + discount rate) raised to power 3

c) These discount factors will divide the cash inflows for each year:

1st year, NPV = $15,364/1.1 = $13,967.27

2nd year, NPV = $15,364/1.21 = $12,697.52

3rd year, NPV = $15,364/1.331 = $11,543.20

Total NPV of inflows = $38,209 approximately

NPV of outflows -$38,209

NPV of inflows and outflows $0

So, the IRR is 10%.

IRR is a capital budgeting metric to measure profitability by using a discount rate which makes the net present value of all cash flows to become zero. To get a suitable rate, trial and error is involved, or one can make use of educated best guess.

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The public debt as a percentage of GDP in the United States, reached its lowest point in recent decades, in 2001, when it represented 54.9% of GDP.

After that year, this indicator began to increase, at first slowly, and from 2007 on very rapidly, propelled in part by the financial crisis. In 2010, the public debt as percentage of GDP was 89.3%.
