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

+ 2q^2, where q is the level of output and C is total cost. (The marginal cost of production, MC(q), is 4q; the fixed cost, FC, is $200). a. If the price of a watch is $80, how many watches should you produce to maximize profits? (Enter your response as an integer.) b. What will the profit level be? (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) c. At what minimum price will the firm produce a positive output? (Enter your response as an integer.)

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.

A book that weighs 0.35 kilograms is kept on a shelf that’s 2.0 meters above the ground. A picture frame that weighs 0.5 kilogra
Arisa [49]
E p = m · g  · h
E p ( book ) = 0.35 kg · 9.8 m/s² · 2 m = 6.86 J
E p ( picture frame ) = 6.86 J 
( same gravitational  potential energy as the book )
6.86 = 0.5 · 9.8 · h
6.86 = 4.9  h
h = 6.86 : 4.9
h = 1.4 m
Answer: ... to a height of 1.4 m.

Answer:

the present vlaue of the ledased property = $251,298

Explanation:

the free market value in 10 years = ($27,500 x (1 + 2%)¹⁰) / 10% = $335,223

free cash flows year 1 - 9 = $24,000

free cash flow year 10 = $359,223

Assume the spot Swiss franc is $0.7000 and the six-month forward rate is $0.6950. What is the minimum price that a six-month Ame
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

2 cents

Explanation:

The spot price = $0.7000 = 70 cents, The forward rate = $0.6950 = 69.5 cents and the call option with striking price = $0.6800 = 68.00 cents

The annualized six month rate = 3 1/2 % = 3.5 %, therefore the rate = r/n, where n is the number of period per year = 2. Therefore r/n = 3.5% / 2 = 0.035 / 2 = 0.0175

The minimum price = Maximum (spot price - striking price, (forward rate - striking price) / (1 + 0.0175), 0) = Maximum(70 - 68, (69.5 - 68)/ 0.0175, 0)

Minimum price = Maximum (2 , 1.47, 0) = 2 cents

Gale Corporation manufactures windsocks. The business recently decided to adopt an ABC system. The following activities have bee
solniwko [45]

Answer:

$270,000

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the overhead cost of the material handling parts

Since each wind stock require 3 parts then the overhead cost can be calculated as follows

= 3 × 20,000

= 60,000

The overhead cost of machining hours can be calculated as follows

Since 5 minutes is spent in the machining department then overhead cost is

= 5× 20,000

= 100,000

The overhead cost of packaging number of finished units can be calculated as follows

= 2 × 20,000

= 40,000

Total overhead cost= 100,000 + 60,000 + 40,000

= 200,000

The total cost of direct materials and labor can be calculated as follows

= 3.5 × 20,000

= 70,000

Therefore the total cost of producing 20,000 windstocks is

= Total overhead cost + total cost of direct materials and labor

= 200,000 + 70,000

= $270,000

Hence the total cost of producing 20,000 windstocks is $270,000
