Answer:
Present Value of first option:
= -105,000 + 35,000/ (1 + 9%) + 35,000/(1 + 9%)² + 35,000/(1 + 9%)³ + 35,000/(1 + 9%)⁴
= -105,000 + 113,390.19
= $8,390.20
Present Value of second option:
= -105,000 + 152,500/ (1 + 9%)⁴
= -105,000 + 108,034.84
= $3,034.84
Solution :
Amy can only change the number of workers. As the fixed input cannot be changed in the short run, so in the short run, the workers are the variable inputs and the ovens are the fixed inputs.
a). Marginal Product of labor
No. of workers The Output The Marginal product of labor
0 0 ---
1 60 60
2 100 40
3 130 30
4 150 20
5 160 10
The marginal product of the labor is the change in the quantity i.e pizza as Amy hires an additional worker.
1 worker raise the output to 100, so the marginal product of labor of 1 worker is 100 and so on. The marginal product of the labor = change in the output / change in the number of workers.
b).
No. of workers The Output The Fixed cost The Variable cost Total cost
0 0 20 0 20
1 60 20 30 50
2 100 20 60 80
3 130 20 90 110
4 150 20 120 140
5 160 20 150 170
The fixed cost remains the same but the variable cost increases as one more worker is hired.
The law of the diminishing the marginal product of labor is determined by = total output increases at the decreasing rate as we increase the quantity of the labor.
Answer:
B) Fixed cost is the constant for a particular product and does not change as more items are made. Marginal cost is the rate of change of cost C(x) at the level of production x and is equal to the slope of the cost function at x.
Explanation:
Fixed costs do not change when the quantity of goods or services produced changes, that is why they are fixed (they do not move).
While marginal costs are the costs associated to producing one extra unit of output. They change as the total output changes.
Profit maximizing firms should increase their output level until the marginal cost equals the marginal revenue (revenue generated by selling one additional unit of output).
Answer:
Option B $1.03
Explanation:
First lets calculate present value = cash flow(PVAF, life, rate) where PVAF = present value annuity factor
= 15(PVAF, 10, 5 years)
from the annuity table
Present value = 15 * 3,790 = $56.8618 million
The decrease in Present value will be $56.8618 million
Decrease in price = present value/number of share = 56.8618/66 = 1.033851 approx $1.03
