"Only one firm produces and sells soccer balls in the country of Wiknam, and as the story begins, international trade in soccer

balls is prohibited. The following equations describe the monopolist’s demand, marginal revenue, total cost, and marginal cost: Demand: P=15−Q Marginal Revenue: MR=15−2Q Total Cost: TC=3+Q+0.5Q2 Marginal Cost: MC=3+Qwhere Q is quantity and P is the price measured in Wiknamian dollars.a. How many soccer balls does the monopolist produce? At what price are they sold? What is the monopolist’s profit?b. One day, the King of Wiknam decrees that henceforth there will be free trade—either imports or exports— of soccer balls at the world price of $6. The firm is now a price taker. What happens to domestic production of soccer balls? To domestic consumption? Does Wiknam export or import soccer balls?c. In our analysis of international trade in Chapter 9, a country becomes an exporter when the price without trade is below the world price and an importer when the price without trade is above the world price. Does that conclusion hold in your answers to parts (a) and (b)? Explain.d. Suppose that the world price was not $6 but, instead, happened to be exactly the same as the domestic price without trade as determined in part (a). Would anything have changed when trade was permitted? Explain."

Answer:

Explanation:

a) since MR=MC, then 15-2Q=3+Q. So, the monopolist produce Q=4

price P=15-Q=10-4=6

profit=6*3-TC=18-(3+4+0.5*4^2)=3

b)since the P=6=6, domestic production will stay the same. The domestic consumption will stay the same. For Wilknam, it will import soccer balls.

c)yes, it holds that Wiknam will be an importer. Because the price for domestic production is 6 which is same as the world price 6.

d)Since the price within country is the same with price out of country, and also, MC=3+Q=7>6, Wiknam will import soccer balls. The monopolist market will become a competitive market.Even though the price won't change,the product will be of high quality and so on. The market will become more equilibrium.

Assume you are going to receive a payment of $1,000 in 5 years. You'd like to know what that cash flow would be worth in 2 years
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The multiple choices are as follows:

Group of answer choices:

A. Present Value

B. Future Value

C. Discounted Value

D. Annuity

E. Lump Sum

The correct option is C,discounted value

Explanation:

The worth of the cash flow which is $1,000 is given with reference to the worth in 5 years' terms,hence restating the cash flow to its worth in two years' time is discounting to its two years' worth.

The answer cannot be present value since the cash flow is not being discounted to today's equivalent amount.

Also,future value is not correct since future value of $1,000 is already provided in the question

Bond Company uses a plantwide overhead rate with direct labor hours as the allocation base. Use the following information to sol
Georgia [21]

Answer:

B. 6.2 DLH per unit of G2

Explanation:

Total cost per unit of G2:

$20 = DM + DL + OH

$20 = $7 + $3.60 + X

$20= $10.6

$20- $10.6

= $9.4

X = $9.4 overhead per unit of G2

Therefore the Plantwide overhead rate is:

$795,000/530,000 DLH = $1.5 per DLH

DLH per unit of G2:

$9.4/$1.5 = 6.26 DLH per unit of G2
