Answer:

Firm should not shut down, as it is able to cover its Average Variable Cost

Explanation:

Perfect Competition firms in Short Run : The firms produce even if their average revenue (price) < their average total costs (AC). They continue production until Average variable cost (AVC) ≥ per unit price (P) i.e average revenue (AR). This is called Shut Down Point. P lower beyond AVC implies that firm won't continue even in short run.

Given : Variable Cost (VC) = 500 ; Revenue (R) = 510

Average Variable Costs & Average Revenue are variable costs & revenue, per unit quantity. AVC = VC / Q ; AR (P) = R / Q

R i.e 510 > VC i.e 500

So, R/ Q i.e AR is also > VC / Q i.e AVC

Since AVC > AR (P), firm should not shut down

What rule is important to remember when evaluating risk and return? The higher the risk, the higher the potential return. The hi
andrew-mc [135]

Answer: The higher the risk, the higher the return.

Returns from an investment refers to the gains or losses over a specified period, and is quoted as percentage.  

Risk refers to the possibility or the chance that the actual return that is earned is greater than or less than the return expected by the investor. Thus, uncertainty is another name for risk.  

If the returns from an investment are certain, the risk involved is low. When risk is low, the returns are also low. For e.g. the return from a T-bill is low because the risk of default is zero, since the government can print money to fund its debt.  

The higher the level of risk involved, the greater the potential for a higher return.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

(a) $91.67

(b) $687,500

(c) $625,000; $750,000

(d) $125; $91.67; $75

Explanation:

(a) Underlying cost structure:

= [($25 × 7,500) + $500,000] ÷ 7,500

= $91.67

(b) Expected total cost:

= $500,000 + ($25 × 7,500)

= $687,500

(c) Estimated total cost at 5,000:

= $500,000 + ($25 × 5,000)

= $625,000

Estimated total cost at 10,000:

= $500,000 + ($25 × 10,000)  

= $750,000

(d) Average cost per procedure at 5,000:

= [($25 × 5,000) + $500,000] ÷ 5,000

= $125

Average cost per procedure at 7,500:

= [($25 × 7,500) + $500,000] ÷ 7,500

= $91.67

Average cost per procedure at 10,000:

[($25 × 10,000) + $500,000] ÷ 10,000

= $75
