Ronny's Pizza House is a profit maximizing firm in a perfectly competitive local restaurant market, and their optimal output is

80 pizzas per day. The local government imposes a new tax of $250 per year on all restaurants that operate in the city. How does this affect Ronny's profit maximizing decisions?

Answer:

A firm maximizes its accounting profits when marginal revenue = marginal costs. In this case, the $250 tax, would increase the price of pizzas by less than 1 cent per pizza since total production = 80 pizzas x 360 days = 28,800 pizzas per year. Even if the restaurant only opens 6 days a week, its total production is very close to 25,000 pizzas. So the impact of the tax is really minimum.

If Ronny (I guess that is the owner's name) really wants to keep maximizing his profits, then he should increase the price of each pizza by 1 cent. The price increase will be minimum and very few customers will probably even notice.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

implementing a job rotation program.

Explanation:

An auto manufacturing plant will have a process of production that promotes division of labour an monotony at work.

One of the disadvantages of division of labour is that it creates monotony, and the workers become bored with their jobs.

However if the workers on the company create a job rotation program, monotony will be reduced.

They will be engaged on different job roles that will make their jobs more exciting. This will result in increased productivity as they are more engaged at work.

You are told the column totals in a trial balance are not equal. After careful analysis, you discover only one error. Specifical
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

a. The Debit column is correctly stated.

b. The Credit column is understated by $17,300 ($8,650 * 2).

c. The Automobiles account balance is correctly stated in the trial balance.

d. The Accounts Payable account balance is understated in the trial balance by  $17,300 ($8,650 * 2).

e. If the Debit column total of the trial balance is $200,000 before correcting the error, the total of the Credit column before correction is $182,700.

Explanation:

This mistake is an Error of Commission.  It is a problem of arithmetical accuracy, for example, posting to the wrong side of one ledger account.  In this case, the Accounts Payable should have been credited with the amount of $8,650.  As an arithmetic error, it can only be corrected by doubling the affected amount on the Credit side of the Accounts Payable account.
