Marginal revenue can become negative for A. both competitive and monopoly firms. B. monopoly firms but not for competitive firms

Lena [83]

Answer:

B. monopoly firms but not for competitive firms.

Explanation:

Marginal revenue can become negative for monopoly firms but not for competitive firms.

A monopolist’s marginal revenue is always less than or equal to the price of the good.

Marginal revenue is the amount of revenue the firm receives for each additional unit of output. It is the difference between total revenue – price times quantity – at the new level of output and total revenue at the previous output (one unit less).

Since the monopolist’s marginal cost curve lies below its demand curve. When a monopoly increases amount sold, it has two effects on total revenue:

– the output effect: More output is sold, so Q is higher.

– the price effect: To sell more, the price must decrease, so P is lower.

For a competitive firm there is no price effect. The competitive firm can sell all it wants at the given price.

So the marginal revenue on a monopolist's additional unit sold is lower than the price, because it gets less revenue for selling additional units.

Marginal revenue can become negative – that is, the total revenue decreases from one output level to the next.

Siebel Incorporated, a non-publicly traded company, has 2009 after-tax earnings of $25 million, which are expected to grow at 6

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Answer of each requirement is given seperatly below.

a What is the value of Siebel using the DCF method?

Value under DCF = CF * (1+growth rate)/ (WAAC" -Growth rate)

Putting values (assuming after tax earning is all in cash)

Value of SI = 25 (1+6%)/ 20%-6% = 189 million dollars

"WAAC calculation

Here WAAC is equal to cost of equity (ke) as company is debt free.

Ke = risk free rate + beta (risk premium)

= 5 + 2.5 (6) = 20%

b What is the value using the comparable recent transactions method?

Based on recent tansaction the value of siebel incorporated will be calculated as shown below

Value of SI = Profit afte * 10 = 25 * 10 = 250 million dollars

Publicly-traded Rand Technology, a direct competitor of Siebel's sale is taken as bench mark.

c What would be the value of the firm if we combine the results of both methods?

By combining value of both value technique we get 189 + 250 = 439 million dollars.
