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:
<u>X= $15,692.9393</u>
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of years= 30
Final value= 1,000,000
First, deposit $10000 for ten years (last deposit at t=10).
After ten years, you deposit X for 20 years until t=30.
i= 6%
First, we need to calculate the final value in t=10. We are going to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^t-1]}/i
FV= {10000*[(1.06^10)-1]}/0.06= $131807.9494
We can calculate the amount of money to input every year. We need to isolate A:
A= (FV*i)/[(1+i)^n-1]
First, we need to calculate the final value of the $131807.9494
FV= PV*[(1+i)^n]
FV= 131807.9494*1.06)^20= 422725.95
We need (1000000-4227725.95) $577274.05 to reache $1000000
A= (FV*i)/[(1+i)^n-1]
A= (577274.05*0.06)/[(1.06^20)-1]= 15692.9393
<u>X= $15,692.9393</u>
