Answer:
Option A : Because at zero profit, with her revenue, she can cover all her costs—explicit and implicit (opportunity cost).
Explanation:
Perfectly Competitive Market
This is simply a market the market participants are said to be price takers that is no consumption decisions by individual consumers and no production decisions by individual producers can be able to affect the market price of a good.
Perfectly Competitive Industry
This is simply an industry where producers are said to be price takers.
Explicit Costs
These are costs that are simply known as "out-of-pocket" costs or in accounting costs. They are an individual's fixed and variable costs of doing business.
Implicit Costs
These are costs that do not partains to monetary payment as they are the opportunity costs of doing business.
It is said that at zero profit, the revenue covers all the costs, including the implicit ones. The fact that her implicit costs are covered shows that no outside option or opportunity that is superior to the zero economic profit option is chosened.
The way economists would probably explain the wastage of
this clam resource is by saying that clams are free goods and are therefore
subject to the tragedy of the commons effect. The tragedy of the commons effect
is a theory in economics, postulated by the Victorian economist William Forster
Lloyd.
The tragedy of the commons effect describes a condition
within a shared-resource system where each user act freely according to their
own self-interest, but their collective actions ends in the depletion or spoilage
of that resource, thus having a negative impact on the common good of all users.
In this case, commons is taken to refer to the clam resources.
Answer:
Jillian
What Jillian should ideally do is:
a. Contribute 1650 in a Roth IRA, and 1350 In her company’s 401(k) plan.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Salary = $45,000
401(k) = 3% of $45,000 = $1,350
Employer's match to the 401(k) = $1,350 (100%)
Savings affordable = $3,000
b) Jillian can contribute to Roth IRA and her company 401(k) which her company will also match 100%. Her contributions to both funds are within the allowed limits. In 2020, the allowed limit of 401(k) plan is $19,500 while that of Roth IRA is $6,000.
Answer:
$5300
Explanation:
Contribution margin for Division B = Sales * Contribution margin ratio
= $243,000 * 20%
= $46,800
Total contribution margin = Division A + Division B
= $46,400 + $46,800
= $93,200
Contribution margin $93,200
Less : Traceable fixed expenses $51,100
Less : Common fixed expenses (plug) $5300
Net operating income $33,800
