mote1985 [20]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

In this question, we are told to state what the reaction of Koka and Zola will be;

Kukla and Zola both like the proposal. As according to the given opportunity cost for Kukla (3 rugs per every 4 tables) she can get 1.5 rugs for 2 tables .But with the offer made now she can get 2 rugs for giving 2 tables.

Given the opportunity cost for Zola ( 2 tables per every 3 rugs ) she must give 3 rugs for getting 2 tables. But with the offer made she can now get 2 tables for giving away only 2 rugs .

So both Kukla and Zola are happy with the offer.

When a monopolistically competitive firm is in long-run equilibrium, a. marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. b. average t

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

a. marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost.

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition can be defined as an imperfect competition where many producers or organizations sell differentiated products that are not perfect substitutes. Examples of firms or organizations engaging in a monopolistic competition are restaurants, shoes, clothing lines etc.

Generally, a monopolistic competitive market is characterized by the presence of large numbers of firm (producers) and a very low entry barrier.

Hence, in a monopolistic competition, firms have a degree of control over price, make independent decisions and can freely enter or exit the market in the long-run. Therefore, these firms combine elements of both monopoly and competition.

When a monopolistically competitive firm is in long-run equilibrium marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost $(MR = MC)$ . This ultimately implies that in the long-run, firms engaging in monopolistic competitive market are often going to manufacture the quantity of goods where the marginal cost (MC) curve intersect with the marginal revenue (MR). Also, the price set would be greater than the minimum average total cost (ATC).

Thus, a monopolistic competitive producer has a highly elastic demand curve and firms would eventually break even in the long-run.

Closing allowance = Opening allowance - Receivables written off + Receivables reinstated = $51,000 - $30,500 + $3,100 = $23,600

Expenses Bad debt = Receivables at the end of 2016 * Estimated percentage = $720,000 * 10% = $72,000

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

For retaining of Old Machine Equipment

Price of old equipment 3 yrs ago = $130,000

O & M cost per year = $35,000

Using the Cash flow approach

End of year Cash flow 1 Old equipment

0 $0 Initial Cash flow

1 -$35,000 O & M cost per year

2 -$35,000 O & M cost per year

3 -$35,000 O & M cost per year

4 -$35,000 O & M cost per year

5 -$35,000 O & M cost per year

Hence, Annual worth = Initial cash flow + Annual cost

Annual worth = 0 - $35,000

Annual worth = -$35,000

For buying of new equipment

Cost of buying new crane = $150,000

Market value of old crane = $40,000

Time = 5 years

O & M cost per year = $8,000

Salvage value = $55,000

MARR = 20%

Using the Cash flow approach

End of year Cash flow 1 New equipment

0 $110,000 -$150,000 + $40,000

1 -$8,000 O & M cost per year

2 -$8,000 O & M cost per year

3 -$8,000 O & M cost per year

4 -$8,000 O & M cost per year

5 $47,000 -$8,000 + $55,000

Annual worth = Initial cash flow + Annual cost + Salvage value

Annual worth = -$110,000(A/P 20%,5) - $8,000 + $55,000(A/P 20%,5)

Annual worth = -$110,000*(0.334) - $8,000 + $55,000*(0.134)

Annual worth = -$36,781.77 - $8,000 + $7,390.88

Annual worth = -$37,908.88

Conclusion: We should retain the old machine as it is more favorable than purchase of new equipment

yan [13]

Answer:

(E) None of the expenses are deductible by an employee.

Explanation:

Given:

Airfare to New Jersey = $2,000

Meals = $220

Lodging in New Jersey = $450

Rental car = $180

Since, all the expenses here are linked to the activities that are done on the business trip i.e expenses not occurred for the personal benefit or for the personal use.

also, the employees cannot deduct the business expenses.

hence, option (E) is correct
