Answer:
a) perfectly competitive market
b) perfectly competitive market
c) 5 workers
d) 46 units
e) Profit of $73
Explanation:
a) The firm sells its output at the present market price, the firm has control of the market prices therefore this is a perfectly competitive market.
b) The firm can hire all of the workers it wants at a market wage rate, this means that the labor market is also perfectly competitive.
c) We have to first calculate the marginal revenue product (MRP) of each worker. The marginal revenue product of the last worker must be equals his wage rate in order to maximize profits. Hiring new workers as every additional employee adds less to the total revenue than to the costs of the firm.
MRP = Marginal product × Price.
Price = $3
Number of Total Marginal Marginal Revenue
Employees Output Product (MP) Product $ (MRP = MP * P)
0 0
1 14 14 52
2 26 12 36
3 35 9 27
4 42 7 21
5 46 4 12
6 48 2 6
The MRP of each of the first 5 employees is higher than their wage rate ($11). The firm should hire 5 workers to maximize profit
d) The output of 5 workers is 46 units
e) Fixed cost = $10
Variable cost = number of workers × wage rate = 5 × $11 = $55
Revenue = output × price per unit = 46 × $3 = $138
Profit = Revenue - variable cost - fixed cost = $138 - $55 - $10 = $73
Answer:
Price discrimination is when a producer charges different prices, to different consumers for the same good or service. Therefore, an airline that charges different prices to different passengers for the same flight is practicing a third degree price discrimination because consumers are charged different prices based on their different demand elasticities.
Economic efficiency is when scarce resources are used in the most efficient way to produce maximum output; it consists of productive efficiency and allocative efficiency. For price discrimination to be possible, the firm must have a certain degree of monopoly power; that is, the firm must be a price maker. Monopolies typically fit into this description as they discriminate by charging consumers with an inelastic demand higher prices; this reults in allocative ineffciency because price is greater than the Marginal Cost (P>MC).
On the other hand price discrimination could increase efficiency; price discrimination aims to convert consumer surplus to producer surplus, thereby increasing the profit of the firm. An increase in profits could be dedicated to investement in research and development; this could see such a firm achieve dynamic efficiency (long-run productive efficiency). Secondly, due to the increased profits and the potential for more profits, output is increased and price moves closer to the MC (Closer to allocative efficiency). In addition, an increase output would mean that the firm is making use of its spare/idle capacity in production, moving output towards optimum. From another perspective, a firm can reap economies of scale through price discrimination; this is because price discrimination leads to an increase in output and a reduction in average cost.
Explanation:
Answer: gains or losses are recognized in their entirety.
Explanation:
When boot is involved in an exchange having commercial substance, we should note that boot in this scenario refers to cash.
We should note that when cash is involved in an exchange that has commercial substance, it's either a gain or loss is made.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Answer: Assets are listed in descending order of liquidity
Explanation:
According to accountant principles, the assets are always listed starting with the most liquid asset. It has the special purpose of helping to the shareholders and company owners to know what assets are easily sold and become in cash flow. The most liquid asset is always the cash, it is the first in the list. Commonly the second asset listed is the inventory, then we have ththe realizable value ( it includes bonds, stocks and other stock market elements), followed by the elements available for sell, at the end we can find listed long term resources including fixed assets and intangible assets.
