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.

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.

Blossom Corporation is authorized to issue 49,000 shares of $5 par value common stock. During 2017, Blossom took part in the fol
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

See explanation section

Explanation:

Requirement A

Debit      Cash                                         $194,600

Credit     Common stock - Par value                             $ 22,500

Credit     Common stock - Additional paid-in-capital   $172,100

Calculation:

Cash:  4,500 shares × $45 = $202,500

As the company's par value is $5,

Common stock - Par value: 4,500 shares × $5 = $22,500

As the market value of the stock is $45, the additional stock value = $45 - $5 = $40. Moreover, the company has issuance cost of $7,900

Additional common stock apart from par value minus the issuance cost = ($4,500 shares × $40) - $7,900 = $180,000 - $7,900 = $172,100.

<em>The company issue common stock with a market value of $45 and issuance cost of $7,900 in exchange of cash.</em>

Requirement B

Debit      Land                                         $50,600

Credit     Common stock - Par value                             $ 5,500

Credit     Common stock - Additional paid-in-capital   $45,100

Calculation:

Land:  1,100 shares × $46 = $50,600

As the company's par value is $5,

Common stock - Par value: 1,100 shares × $5 = $5,500

As the market value of the stock is $46, the additional stock value = $46 - $5 = $41.

Additional common stock apart from par value = ($1,100 shares × $41) = $45,100.

Although the land is appraised for $49,000, due to the increased market price stock, it is valued more.

<em>The company issue common stock with a market value of $46 in exchange for land.</em>

Requirement C

Debit    Treasury Stock          $19,270

Credit              Cash                $19,270

Purchasing share from the stock market is known as treasury stock.

Calculation: Treasury stock = 470 shares × $41 = $19,270

Debit     Cash                          $17,860

Credit    Common Stock - par value                             $2,350

Credit    Common stock - Additional paid-in-capital   $15,510

Calculation:

As the company's par value is $5,

Common stock - Par value: 470 shares × $5 = $2,350

Additional common stock apart from par value = $470 shares × ($38 - $5) = $15,510.

<em>The company issue common stock with a market value of $38 after purchasing those treasury stock at $41 per share.</em>
