Answer:

Marginal Revenue Product=150

Marginal Resource Cost= 100

Explanation:

Marginal revenue product (MRP) is the change in total revenue that results from a unit change of some type of variable input.

Marginal Revenue Product= Revenue Change

/Additional Input

Marginal resource cost (MRC) is the change in total cost that results from a unit change of some type of variable input.

Marginal Resource Cost= Cost Change

/Additional Input

In this situation we must calculate the change of revenues (MRP) and cost (MRC) when we add a new vehicle.

We are increasing our delivery fleet in 1 unit

First calculate the change in total revenue

Total revenue= 1,500 packages * $0.10 in revenue=150

Marginal Revenue Product=$150/1=150

The Cost change is $100,

so Marginal Resource Cost= $100/1=100

Answer: N&B Equipment Company:

Current ratio = 1.33

Quick ratio = 0.746

Jing Foodstuffs Corporation:

Current ratio = 1.65

Quick ratio = 0.928

Explanation:

For N&B Equipment Company:

$Current\ Ratio=\frac{Current\ Assets}{Current\ liabilities}$

$Current\ Ratio=\frac{900}{675}$

$Quick ratio=\frac{Current\ Assets - Inventory}{Current\ Liabilities}$

$Quick ratio=\frac{900 - 396}{675}$

= 0.746

For Jing Foodstuffs Corporation:

$Current\ Ratio=\frac{Current\ Assets}{Current\ liabilities}$

$Current\ Ratio=\frac{1,400}{844}$

= 1.65

$Quick ratio=\frac{Current\ Assets - Inventory}{Current\ Liabilities}$

$Quick ratio=\frac{1,400 - 616}{844}$

Forey, Inc. competes against many other firms in a highly competitive industry. Over the last decade, several firms have entered

crimeas [40]

Answer:

The market that characterizes the industry in which Forey competes is a market where competition is at its greatest possible level and it is a perfectly competitive market and the reason is because its returns decrease with the entering of new firms, also four-firm concentration ratio and Herfindahl Hirschman index are both quite small, so no one has significant market power to set or even influence the market price. In the short-run Forey Inc’s profit will decrease as more and more new firms enter the market and in the long-run Forey Inc will receive only normal (zero) economic profit.
