Assume your city government has been contacting with a single garbage collection firm that has been granted an exclusive franchi

se, the sole right, to pick up trash within your entire city limits. However, it has been proposed that companies be allowed to compete for business with residents on an individual basis. The city government has estimated the price residents are willing to pay for various numbers of garbage collections per month and the total cost facing the garbage collector per resident as shown in the following table.
Pickup (Q) Price/Pickup Total Revenue (TR) Marginal Revenue (MR) Total Cost (TC) Marginal Cost (MC) Average Total Cost (ATC)
0 $4.20 0 --- $3.20 --- ---
1 $3.80 $4.20
2 $3.40 $5.60
3 $3.00 $7.80
4 $2.60 $10.40
5 $2.20 $13.40
6 $1.90 $16.80

1. What are the fixed costs per month of garbage collection per resident? Explain your answer
2. Considering that the current garbage collection firm the city has contracted with has a monopoly in garbage collection services, what is the current number of collections residents receive per month and the price charged residents for each collection? What is the economic profit received from each resident by the monopoly firm? (Note: Profit received form individual resident must be calculated a per unit basis)
3. If competitive bidding were allowed and therefore a competitive market for garbage collection services developed, what would the number of collections per month and the price charged residents per collection? What is the economic profit received from each resident by the competitive firm? (Note that in a competitive market (chapter 13), P=MC=MR)
4. Based on the above analysis, should the city government allow competitive bidding? Why? Would you expect there to be any quality differences between the monopolistic and competitive trash collection firms?

Answer:

d.   Account receivable days = 72 days

Explanation:

The average receivable days. This is the average length of time it takes a business to collect the amount due from its customers in respect of  credit sales.

When a business sells on credit , customers are expected to settle their account within a given credit period. Account receivable days is computed to evaluate how well a business is managing its investment in the account  receivables.

The shorter the better, as it means that custmers are paying on time, thereby preserving cash position for the business and reducing the risk bad debt.

A prolonged account receivable days means a poor credit control system  which comes with the attendants risk bad debt and additional financing costs for the business.

To compute the account receivable days (debtors collection period), use this formula:

Account receivable days= (Average account receivable/Credit sales) × 360 days.

So we apply this to the question:

Account receivable days= ( 1,200,000/6,000,000) × 360 days

                               = 72 days

Find the present value of the following stream of cash flows assuming that the firms opportuiny costs is 9 percent. 1-5 years 10
Yanka [14]

Answer:

   ∑( Cash flow × PVF) = 79,347

Explanation:

Given:

Opportunity cost = 9%

Cash flow for 1-5 years = 10,000

Cash flow for 6-10 years = 16,000

Now,

Present value factor (PVF) = \frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{(1 + 0.09)^n}}

here, n is the year

For year 1 to  5

Year             Cash flow             PVF             Cash flow × PVF

1                     10000             0.9174             9174

2                     10000             0.8417             8417

3                      10000             0.7722             7722

4                      10000             0.7084             7084

5                      10000             0.6499             6499

for years 6 to 10

Year             Cash flow             PVF             Cash flow × PVF

6                      16000              0.5963             9540.8

7                      16000              0.547             8752

8                      16000              0.5019             8030.4

9                      16000             0.4604             7366.4

10                      16000             0.4224             6758.4

========================================================

                                          ∑( Cash flow × PVF) = 79,347

========================================================

taking the PVF to 5 decimal places will make 79,347 ≈ 79,348
