Answer:
To maximize the profit the firm should produce fewer widgets because, as the number of widget production increases the marginal cost of producing widgets increases.
Answer:
The average cost at a caseload of 25 attempted placements per month is 105.
Explanation:
The total cost function given in the question first correctly stated as follows:
TC = 25Q^1/2 + 2,500 ................ (1)
A caseload of 25 attempted placements implies that:
Q = 25
Substitute Q = 25 into equation (1), we have:
TC = (25 * 25^(1/2)) + 2,500 = 2,625
The average cost (AC) can now be calculated as follows:
AC = TC / Q = 2,625 / 25 = 105
Therefore, the average cost at a caseload of 25 attempted placements per month is 105.
I'm pretty sure it's option D
Answer:
Financial leverage
Explanation:
Financial leverage is defined as the use of borrowed funds to perform a business activity or investment that is expected to have higher returns than the cost of borrowing the money (interest).
When a company is looking for funds for its activities there are 3 options they can use: equity, debt, or lease.
Use of equity is the only option where no extra cost is incurred for use of funds.
When using debt or lease cost of use is incurred. The business will need to engage in an activity that will give it revenue above cost of debt.
This practice is called use of financial leverage.
Answer: e. repurchase shares
Explanation:
If the personal tax rates are lower than corporate tax rates then the company should engage in an activity that would put money into the pockets of shareholders such that they would take advantage of the lower personal tax rates.
The best way to do that would be a share repurchase. The company would probably buy at above market rates which would give shareholders capital gain and they wouldn't have to pay much taxes on it as personal rates are lower.
