Currently, a monopolist’s profit-maximizing output is 600 units per week and it sells its output at a price of $40 per unit. The
firm’s total costs are $6,000 per week. The firm is maximizing its profit, and it earns $25 in extra revenue from the sale of the last unit produced each week. a. What are the firm's weekly economic profits?
b. What is the firm's marginal cost?
c. What is the firm's average total cost?
The company's weekly economic profit = total revenue - total accounting cost - total opportunity costs = (600 units x $40) - $6,000 = $24,000 - $6,000 = $18,000
b. What is the firm's marginal cost?
since the firm is maximizing its profits, its marginal revenue = marginal cost. Since the marginal revenue of the last unit sold was $25, then the marginal cost of the last unit sold must also be $25.
c. What is the firm's average total cost?
the firm's average total cost = total cost / total output = $6,000 / 600 units = $10 per unit
divide the total taxes 960 by 365 (number of days in the year) to get per day tax which is 2.63$. Days from 1 January to April 15 are 105, these 105 days times 2.63$ =276.15.
so, now we have calculated the amount of taxable by seller at closing date and buyer will receive the same from seller i.e 276.15 $ .
Option B-Consolidation used for both Sell and Vane.
Explanation:
Both of the companies must be consolidated because the parent company controls both of the company and according to International Financial Reporting Standard, the companies that the parent company directly controls (75% ownership of Sell Inc. and 75% control) or indirectly controls (75%*60%= 45% ownership of Vane Inc. and 60% control of the company) must be consolidated. Here Penn Inc. controls both the subsidairies Sell Incorporation and Vane Incorporation, so they must be consolidated to group accounts.
