A perfectly competitive firm produces​ 3,000 units of a good at a total cost of​ $36,000. The fixed cost of production is​ $20,0

00. The price of each good is​ $10. Should the firm continue to produce in the short​ run? A. ​Yes, it should continue to produce because the​ firm's revenues cover the total variable cost of​ $16,000. B. ​Yes, it should continue to produce because its price exceeds its average fixed cost. C. ​No, it should shut down because it is making a loss. D. There is insufficient information to answer the question.

Answer:

 A. ​Yes, it should continue to produce because the​ firm's revenues cover the total variable cost of​ $16,000. 

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. Market participants are price takers.

In the short run ,if price is less than average variable cost, the firm should shutdown.

Also, if total revenue is less than the total variable cost, the firm should shutdown into the short run.

Total revenue = $10 x 3000 = $30,000

Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost

$36,000 = $20,000 + variable cost

Variable cost = $16,000

Total revenue is greater than total variable cost, so the firm should continue operations in the short run.

Answer:

Using Traditional allocation method

Allocation rate per unit

=<u> Budgeted overhead</u>

  Budgeted direct labour hours

Brass

Overhead allocation rate

= <u>$47,500</u>

  700 hours

=  $67.86 per direct labour hour

Gold

= <u>$47,500</u>

   1,200 hours

=  $39.58 per direct labour hour

Using activity-based costing

Brass

Allocation rate for material cost pool                                                                                                                                                  

= <u>$12,500</u>

   400

=  $31.25 per material moved

Gold

Allocation rate for material cost pool

= <u>$12,500</u>

   100    

= $125 per material moved

Brass

Allocation rate for machine set-up pool

= <u>$35,000</u>

  400

= $87.50

Gold

Allocation rate for machine set-up pool  

= <u>$35,000</u>

   600

= $58.33                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

Explanation:

Using traditional allocation method, the overheads for material cost pool and machine set-up pool will be added. The overhead allocation rate per unit is the division of total overhead by the direct labour hours for each product.        

Using activity-based costing, the material cost pool overhead  will be divided by the material moved for each product in order to obtain allocation rate for each product.                                                                                                                                                                

The allocation rate for machine set-up pool is obtained by dividing the machine set-up overhead by the number of machine set-up for each              product.

______has an absolute advantage in the production of alfalfa, and_______ has an absolute advantage in the production of barley.
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The person with Absolute advantage is the one that produces more of a good than the other.

<em><u>Dina </u></em><em>has an absolute advantage in the production of alfalfa, and </em><em><u>Charles</u></em><em> has an absolute advantage in the production of barley. </em>

The person with Comparative Advantage is the person who produces something at a lower opportunity cost.

Charles Opportunity Costs

Producing Alfalfa gives 12 bushels per acre instead of 6 bushels for Barley.

Producing 1 Alfalfa means 6/12 = 0.5 bushels Barley is given up

Producing 1 bushel of Barley means 12/6 = 2 bushels Alfalfa is given up.

Dina Opportunity Costs

Producing Alfalfa gives 15 bushels per acre instead of 5 bushels for Barley.

Producing 1 Alfalfa means 5/15 = 0.33 bushels of Barley is given up

Producing 1 bushel of Barley means 15/5 = 3 bushels of Alfalfa is given up.

<em>Charles's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of barley is </em><em><u>2</u></em><em> bushels of alfalfa, whereas Dina's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of barley is </em><em><u>3</u></em><em> bushels of alfalfa. Because Charles has </em><em><u>lower</u></em><em> a opportunity cost of producing barley than Dina, </em><em><u>Charlie</u></em><em> has a comparative advantage in the production of barley, and </em><em><u>Dina</u></em><em> has a comparative advantage in the production of alfalfa.</em>

Suppose a firm receives $10 for selling one additional unit of its product but that additional unit costs the firm $1 to produce
elena-s [515]

The producer surplus from selling the additional unit of the product given the selling price and the cost of production is $9.

<h3>What is producer surplus?</h3>

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product. The least price the producer should be willing to collect is equal to the cost of production

Producer surplus = price – cost of proeuction

$10 - $1 = $9
