a) Yes, $67 exceeds the loss—minimizing output.
Using the MR
They will produce 9 units.
Profits per unit = $67 - $50 = $17
Total profit =
$153.
(b) Yes, $42 exceeds the loss—minimizing output.
Using the MR
They will produce 6 units
Loss per unit is = $42 - $47.50 = $5.50
Total loss = $33 (= 6 x $5.50), which is less than the total fixed cost of $60.
c) No, because $33 is less than AVC. If it did produce, the quantity will be 4—By producing 4 units, it would lose $78 [= 4 ($33 - $52.50)]. and if they didn't produce, it would lose only the total fixed cost of $60.
Answer:
1,875 units.
Explanation:
Break-even is the point where a company neither generate profit not make loss, or we can say that it the sales at which the operating profit will be zero. It can be calculated for sales volume as-well-as dollar sales. Let's prepare a contribution income statement to calculate the break-even sales in quantity. We know that:
EBIT / Operating Profit = (SP * Q) - (VC * Q) - Fixed Cost
where
SP = Selling Price
Q = Quantity / Units
VC = Variable cost
As it is understood that the operating profit at break-even is zero, simply put it in the above contribution income statements along with other figures given in the question.
⇒ 0 = (20 * Q) - (12 * Q) - 15,000
OR 15,000 / (20 - 12) = Q
⇒ Break-even units = Q = 1,875 units.
Answer:
c. 5
Explanation:
L Q MPL (ΔinQ/ΔinL) VMPL
4 52
5 60 8 80
6 66 6 60
7 70 4 40
8 72 2 20
Note: Labour hired per day = L, Total product = Q, Marginal Product of labor=MPL, VMPL =Price*MPL
A firm will maximize the profit by increasing the number of labor as long as VMPL is higher than or equal to the wage rate. In this case, we observe that VMPL ($80)>wage rate ($75) for L=5 but VMPL ($60)<wage rate ($75) for L=6. So, the optimal number of labor to be hired is 5.
Answer:
the current yield on the bond is lower now than when the bond was originally issued.
Explanation:
A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.
A yield to maturity can be defined as the bond's total rate of return required by the secondary market while the coupon rate is defined as the annual interest of a bond divided by its face value.
Hence, if the coupon rate on a bond is higher than the yield to maturity, the current yield on the bond is lower now than when the bond was originally issued.
