Consider a small landscaping company run by Mr. Viemeister. He is considering increasing his firm’s capacity. If he adds one mor

e worker, the firm’s total monthly revenue will increase from $54,000 to $66,000. If he adds one more tractor, monthly revenue will increase from $54,000 to $62,000. Each additional worker costs $4,000 per month, while an additional tractor would also cost $4,000 per month.
. a. What is the marginal revenue product of labor? The marginal revenue product of capital?

b. What is the ratio of the marginal revenue product of labor to the price of labor (MRPL/PL)? . What is the ratio of the marginal product of capital to the price of capital (MRPK/PK)?

Answer:

A.$12,000

B.$8000

C.MRPL/PL = 3

MRPK/PK =2

D) Since each of the above calculated ratios are more than one, therefore adding additional worker or tractor will increase the total revenue for each of the dollar spent.

Explanation:

(a) The Marginal Revenue Product of Labor (MRPL) can said to be the additional revenue generated when an additional worker is employed.

$66,000 - $54,000 = $12,000

Thus, MRPL is 12,000

b) Marginal revenue product of capital is

( 62000 - 54000)= $8000

c) MRPL/PL = 12000/ 4000= 3

MRPK/PK = 8000/4000=2

Therefore Since these two ratios are not equal it means the firm is not using the least cost combination of inputs.

d) Since each of the above calculated ratios are more than one, therefore adding additional worker or tractor will increase the total revenue for each of the dollar spent.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

D) Cash 45,540 Accounts receivable 45,540

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Cash A/c Dr $45,540

        To Accounts receivable A/c  $45,540

(Being cash is received in respect of goods sold)

The computation is shown below:

= Sold value of supplies - the sold value of supplies × discount percentage

= $46,000 - $46,000 × 1%

= $46,000 - $460

= $45,540

Since the net method is used so we debited the cash account and credited the account receivable account.

________ distribution is a product distribution strategy that involves stocking the products in as many outlets as possible.
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The answer is intensive distribution strategy.

Explanation:

Intensive distribution strategy occurs when a company tries to sell their products through as many outlets as possible, thus ensuring that customers will encounter the company’s products in various distributor points. It is generally done to increase sales of products. Companies that would use this type of strategy are typically those that are competing in a perfect competition market, since product unavailability would just make customers of the product use a different brand from a competitor’s company instead.

Marpor Industries has no debt and expects to generate free cash flows of $16 million each year. Marpor believes that if it perma
tatyana61 [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a.  Marpor's value without leverage is

But before that first we have to calculate the required rate of return which is

The Required rate of return = Risk Free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium

= 5% + 1.1 × (15% - 5%)

= 16%

Now without leverage is

= Free cash flows generates ÷ required rate of return

= $16,000,000 ÷ 16%

= $100,000,000

b. And, with the new leverage is

= (Free cash flows with debt ÷ required rate of return) + (Tax rate × increase of debt)

= ($15,000,000 ÷ 0.16) + (0.35 × $40,000,000)

= $93,750,000 + $14,000,000

= $107,750,000
