Answer:

<u>Monopoly</u>

P =      $20.00

Q = 10,000

<u>Socically Efficient:</u>

P = $16.80

Q = 14,000

The monopoly generates a deadthweight loss to maximize their gain.

In the socially efficient situation, there is no deadthweight loss threfore this makes the economy as a whole better.

Explanation:

Price = 28 - 0.0008Q

Marginal Cost  = 0.0012Q

Revenue: P x Q = (28 - 0.0008Q) x Q = 28Q - 0.0008Q²

Marginal Revenue:

R' = R(q) / dq = 28 -0.0016Q

We want to produce and sale until marginal revenue matches marginal cost:

28 -0.0016Q = 0.0012Q

28 = 0.0028Q

Q = 28 / 0.0028 = 10,000

P = 28 - 0.0008 (10,000) =

P = 28 - 8 = 20.00

The social efficiency will be that Price equals Marginal Cost.

28 - 0.008Q = 0.0012Q

28 = 0.0020Q

28 / 0.0020 = Q = 14,000

P = 28 - 0.0008(14,000) = 28 - 11.2 = 16,8

Mauritiana uses standard costing for her shawls. She expects that a typical shawl should take 4 hours to​ produce, and the stand
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

She expects that a typical shawl should take 4 hours to​ produce, and the standard wage rate is $ 10.00 per hour. An average shawl uses 12 skeins of wool. Marina shops around for good​ deals, and expects to pay $ 3.30 per skein.

For ​ April, Mauriona​'s workers produced 200 shawls using 784 hours and 3,360 skeins of wool. Mauriona bought wool for $ 10,420 ​(and used the entire​ quantity), and incurred labor costs of $ 8,100.

1)

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Actual price= 3.10

Direct material price variance= (3.3 - 3.10)*3,360= $672 favorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= [(12*200) - 3,360]*3.3= $3,168 unfavorable

Direct labor efficiency variance= (SQ - AQ)*standard rate

Direct labor efficiency variance= [(4*200) - 784]*10= $160 favorable

Direct labor price variance= (SR - AR)*AQ

Direct labor price variance= (10 - 10.33)*784= 258.72 unfavorable

2)

Work in process                                        7,924                      

Direct material quantity variance            3,168

Direct material price variance                                        672

Material inventory                                                           10,420          

Work in process              8,000

Direct labor price variance       260

Direct labor efficiency variance              160

Wages payable                                      8,100

Wanda is faced with an ethical dilemma. She knows her supervisor, the CFO, wants to accelerate the recoding of revenue to an ear
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Wanda is most likely to refuse.

Explanation:

The stage 4 of Kohlberg's Moral Development Model is defined as the Law and Order Orientation Stage, in which doing what is dutiful is paramount. If Wanda accepted his supervisor's demands, she would be breaking a law (the GAAP), and this act would therefore go against what the Kohlberg's model proposes. She will most likely respect the law despite the conquesequences that this might have on her personal life (for example, being fired).
