Answer: A firm should not continue production when its MR is lower than its AVC.
Explanation:
The goal of every firm is to minimize cost and also maximize profits and therefore the firm will operate at the output level where the marginal revenue and the marginal cost equates.
A firm should not continue production when its MR is lower than its AVC. Here, the firm will incur a higher loss during production as producing will not offset the variable cost. Therefore, it's better to shut down.
Answer: $1,852,320
Explanation:
First find out the proportion owned by Matsui.
= 74,800 shares / 220,000
= 34%
The investment at the end of the year is:
= Cost of investment + Shares of net income - Share of dividend
Share of income:
= Percentage ownership * Net income
= 34% * 240,000
= $81,600
Share of dividend:
= 34% * 72,000
= $24,480
Investment at end of year:
= 1,795,200 + 81,600 - 24,480
= $1,852,320
Answer:
W = $27.34
Explanation:
Given data:
Percentage Decline in average income is = 2%
CPI in 1990 1.30
CPI in 2000 is 1.69
Average nominal wage is 2000 is $35
Inflation rate is given as
Inflation rate = % Change in CPI
= (1.69 / 1.3) - 1
= 1.3 - 1 = 0.3 = 30%
Real wage = Nominal wage / Price level, hence
Percentage change in real wage = % Change in (nominal wage - inflation rate)
-2% = % Change in nominal wage - 30%
% Change in nominal wage = 28%
let nominal wage in 1990 is w
W\times 1.28% = $35
solving for W = $27.34
Answer:
Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y = 8,750 and Dept. Z = 10,250.
Explanation:
Direct wages of Y and Z sum 2,000 + 3,500 = 5,500. The remaining expenses are the difference between total wage expense and direct wage expenses. That means indirect expenses are 19,000 - 5,500 = 13,500. These has to be allocated half for each department.
- Dept Y expense is 2,000 + 13,500/2 = 2,000 + 6,750 = 8,750
- Dept Z expense is 3,500 + 13,500/2 = 3,500 + 6,750 = 10,250
