Answer:

b) third-degree price discrimination.

Explanation:

The price gouging happens on prices when is carried out by the seller, goods, services or goods to a higher level than what is considered acceptable or fair and potentially considered unethically. This usually occurs after a demand or supply shock. Common examples include price increases for basic needs after hurricanes or other natural disasters.

First-degree discrimination (perfect price discrimination) appears when a business charges the maximum possible price for each unit consumed because prices are diverse among some units. In this case, where a company charges a different price for every good or service sold.

Second-degree price discrimination is the concept in which a company charges a different price when there are demands for different quantities consumed, such as quantity discounts on bulk purchases.

Third-degree price discrimination is the case in which a company charges a different price to different consumer groups. This is the type of most common type of price discrimination. If we see in the question there is given distinctive ticket price offers to senior citizens and/or students. That’s why we should choose third-degree price discrimination.

Two annuities have equal present values and an applicable discount rate of 7.25 percent. One annuity pays $2,500 on the first da

nignag [31]

Answer:

$2681.30 approx.

Explanation:

The first annuity is case of annuity due

For the first annuity, $2500 + 2500 × cumulative present value factor at 7.25% for 14 years

= $2500 + 8.6158 × 2500

= $24040 approx

The second annuity is the case of deferred annuity wherein payments are made at the end of the year.

Payment amount of second annuity = Present Value of first annuity ÷ cumulative present value annuity factor at 7.25% for 15 years

This will be equal to 24,040/8.9658 = $2681.30 approx.

Feldspar Inc. is considering the capital structure for a new division. Management has been given the following cost information:

34kurt

Answer:

Option 4

Explanation:

In this question ,we have to compute the WACC which is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)

For Option 1, it would be

= (0.3 × 10%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.7 × 12.5%)

= 1.8% + 8.75%

= 10.55%

For Option 2, it would be

= (0.4 × 10.5%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.6 × 13%)

= 2.52% + 7.8%

= 10.32%

For Option 3, it would be

= (0.5 × 11%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.5 × 13.5%)

= 3.3% + 6.75%

= 10.05%

For Option 4, it would be

= (0.6 × 11.7%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.4 × 14.2%)

= 4.212% + 5.68%

= 9.89%

For Option 5, it would be

= (0.7 × 13%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.3 × 15.5%)

= 5.46% + 4.65%

= 10.11%

So based on this, the management should accept option 4 as it derives the best debt asset ratio

The weightage of equity would be come

= 1 - weightage of debt

A large bakery buys flour in 25-pound bags. The bakery uses an average of 1,215 bags a year. Preparing an order and receiving a

Nostrana [21]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below

a. The economic order quantity is

= sqrt ((2 × annual demand × ordering cost) ÷ carrying cost)

= sqrt ((2 × 1,215 × $10) ÷ $75)

= 18 units

b) Average number of bags on hand is

= EOQ ÷ 2

= 18 ÷ 2

= 9

c) Orders per year is

= D ÷ EOQ

= 1215 ÷ 18

= 67.5

= 68

d) Total cost = Total carrying cost+ Total ordering cost

= (Q ÷ 2)H +(D ÷ Q)S

= (18 ÷ 2)75 + (1215 ÷ 18) × 10

= 675 + 675

= $1350

Suppose you are the manager of a watchmaking firm operating in a competitive market. Your cost of production is given by C = 200

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

1. 20 units

2. $600

Explanation:

1. $C = 200 + 2q^{2}$

MC = 4q

Price, P = $80

For maximizing profits,

Marginal cost = Price of the commodity

4q = 80

q = 20 units

$C = 200 + 2q^{2}$

$C = 200 + 2(20)^{2}$

= 200 + 800

= 1,000

2. Profit = Total revenue - Total cost

= (Price × Quantity) - TC

= (80 × 20) - $1,000

= $1,600 - $1,000

= $600

3. We know that the firm in the short run will be produce at a point where total revenue is greater than the total variable cost

Average variable cost = variable cost ÷ quantity

$=\frac{2Q^{2}}{Q}$

= 2Q

MC = 4Q

Here, MC is greater than AVC at any given point.

so in the short run firm will producing short run positive profit.
