A monopolistically competitive firm chooses

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

D. both the quantity of output to produce and the price at which it will sell its output.

Explanation:

A monpolistically competitive firm chooses the price and the quantity to produce. This decision is guided by market conditions and the goal to maximise profit.

A monopolistic competitive firm has a downward sloping demand curve just like a monopoly, so the monpolistically competitive firm chooses the quantity that maximises its profit and then chooses price.

A downward sloping demand curve indicates that quantity demanded is sensitive to price. The higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded.

A monpolistically competitive firm is a firm that has features of both a monopoly and a competitive firm.

The ability of a monpolistically competitive firm to set prices makes it a price maker.

Just like a monopoly, a monopolistically competitive firm has the following features:

1. It faces of downward sloping demand curve.

2. It sets the price for its products.

Just like a perfect competition, a monopolistically competitive firm has the following features:

1. No barriers to entry or exit.

2. There are many buyers and sellers

Other features of a monpolistically competitive firm are:

1. Firms sell differentiated products

2. Firms engage in non price competition.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

E) I, II, and III.

Explanation:

Variable costing can be regarded as a concept of managerial accounting cost

whereby during the period of producing the product there is incurred

manufacturing overhead.

Absorption costing income statement, utilize absorption costing when creating income statement. The income statement focus on the cost through sectioning of cost into period cost and product.

It should be noted that

I. A variable-costing income statement discloses a firm's contribution margin.

In 2012, Teller Company sold 3,000 units at $300 each. Variable expenses were $210per unit, and fixed expenses were $120,000. Th

katrin [286]

Answer:

Teller's break-even point in sales dollars for 2012 is $400,000

Explanation:

The formula to compute the break even point in dollars is shown below:

Break even point (in dollars) = (Fixed expenses) ÷ (contribution ratio)

where,

Fixed expense is $120,000

And, the contribution ratio equals to

= (Contribution per unit) ÷ (sales per unit) × 100

where,

Contribution is = Selling price - variable cost per unit

= $300 - $210

= $90 per unit

Now put the values to the above formula

So, the ratio would be

= ($90 per unit) ÷ ($300 per unit) × 100

= 30%

Now put the values to the above formula

So, the value would be

= $120,000 ÷ 30%

= $400,000

At a growth (interest) rate of 8 percent annually, how long will it take for a sum to double? To triple? Use Appendix A for an a

Yanka [14]

Answer:

n = ㏒ P ÷ ㏒ (1.08)

Explanation:

Compound interest rate

A = P × $(1 + r)^{n}$

where

P = principal amount (the initial amount you borrow or deposit)

r = annual rate of interest (as a decimal)

A = amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.

n = number of years

Since we want the principle amount to double i.e., A = 2P

put this in above equation

2P = P × $(1 + r)^{n}$

divide both sides by P, we get

P = $(1 + r)^{n}$

put r = 0.08

P = $(1 + 0.08)^{n}$

P = $(1 .08)^{n}$

Taking log on both sides

㏒ P =㏒ $(1 .08)^{n}$

㏒ P = n ㏒ (1.08)

n = ㏒ P ÷ ㏒ (1.08)

Exercise 7-4A Effect of recognizing uncollectible accounts expense on financial statements: Percent of revenue allowance method

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Rosie Dry Cleaning

a. Organization of the transaction data in accounts under an accounting equation:

Year 1:

The accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Equity.

1) Provided $29,940 of cleaning services on account.

Assets (Accounts Receivable) increases by $29,940; Equity (Retained Earnings) increases by $29,940. So, Assets + $29,940 = Liabilities + Equity + $29,940.

2) Collected $23,952 cash from accounts receivable.

Assets (Cash) increases by $23,952 and Assets (Accounts Receivable) decreases by $23,952. So, Assets + $23,952 and - $23,952 = Liabilities + Equity.

3) Adjusted the accounting records to reflect the estimate that uncollectible accounts expense would be 1 percent of the cleaning revenue on account.

Assets (Accounts Receivable) reduces by $59.88 and Equity (Retained Earnings) reduces by $59.88. So, Assets - $59.88 = Liabilities + Equity - $59.88.

Year 2:

1. Wrote off a $225 account receivable that was determined to be uncollectible.

Assets (Accounts Receivable) decreases by $225 and Equity (Retained Earnings) decreases by $225. So, Assets - $225 = Liabilities + Equity - $225.

2. Provided $34,940 of cleaning services on account.

Assets (Accounts Receivable) increases by $34,940 and Equity (Retained Earnings) increases by $34,940. So, Assets + $34,940 = Liabilities + Equity + $34,940.

3. Collected $30,922 cash from accounts receivable.

Assets (Cash) increases by $30,922 and Assets (Accounts Receivable) decreases by $30,922. So, Assets + $30,922 - $30,922 = Liabilities + Equity.

4. Adjusted the accounting records to reflect the estimate that uncollectible accounts expense would be 1 percent of the cleaning revenue on account.

Assets (Accounts Receivable) decreases by $37.93 ($97.81 - $59.88) and Equity (Retained Earnings) decreases by $37.93. So, Assets - $37.93 = Liabilities + Equity - $37.93.

b. 1) Net Income for Year 1:

Sales = $29,940

less Allowance for uncollectible = $59.88)

Total = $29,880.12

2) Net Cash Flows from operating activities for Year 1 = $23,952.

3) Balance of Accounts Receivable at the end of Year 1:

Sales = $29,940

Less Cash Receipt = $23,952

Balance = $5,988

4) Net Realizable value of accounts receivable at the end of Year 1.

Accounts Balance = $5,988

less Allowance for Uncollectible = $59.88

Net Realizable = $5,928.12

c 1) Net Income for Year 1:

Sales = $34,940

less Bad Debts Expense = $262.93 ($37.93 + $225)

Total = $34,677.07

2) Net Cash Flows from operating activities for Year 1 = $30,922.

3) Balance of Accounts Receivable at the end of Year 1:

Beginning balance = $5,988

Sales = $34,940

Less Bad Debts Expense = $225

Less Cash Receipt = $30,922

Balance = $9,781

4) Net Realizable value of accounts receivable at the end of Year 1.

Accounts Balance = $9,781

less Allowance for Uncollectible = $97.81

Net Realizable = $9,683.19

Explanation:

The accounting equation states that Assets equal Liabilities plus Equity. Any change in one side of the equation affects the other. Sometimes, a transaction or event affects one side only by increasing one account and decreasing another account on the same side of the equation. Examples are demonstrated in the answer above.

When an uncollectible is deemed bad, it reduces the Accounts Receivable and increases the bad debt expense. The overall effect on the accounting equation is a reduction in Assets and Equity respectively.
