Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Profit maximization refers to the situation when a firm is able to maximize the total profit that it could earn through the production of goods and services.

The total profit is maximized when the marginal profit is zero or when the marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. The marginal profit is the difference between marginal revenue and marginal cost.

If the marginal revenue is greater than the marginal cost the firm should increase production till both are equal.

In case, marginal revenue is less than the marginal cost the firm should stop producing more and reduce production till both are equal.

A homeowner has a mortgage balance of $149,570.75. If the interest rate on the loan is 9.5% and the monthly payment is $1,303.55

nalin [4]

Answer:

Principal balance at the end of year 2 = 149,330.9079

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.

We will use the following relationships:

Interest paid = Interest rate × loan balance

Principal paid = Monthly installment - Interest paid

Principal balance= loan balance - principal paid

Year 1

Interest paid = 9.5%/12 × 149,570.75 = 1,184.101

Principal paid in year 1 = 1,303.55 - 1,184.101 = 119.448

Principal balance = 149,570.75 - 119.448= 149,451.3018

Year 2

Interest paid = interest rate × loan balance in year 1 = 1183.156

Interest paid = 9.5%/12 × 149,451.3018 = 1183.156

Principal paid = 1,303.55 - 1183.156139 = 120.393

Principal balance at the end of year 2= Principal balance in year 1 - Principal paid in year 2

= 149,451.3018 - 120.393861 = 149330.9079

Principal balance at the end of year 2 = 149,330.90

Jennifer received $6,000 interest; $4,800 was tax-exempt and $1,200 was taxable. In earning this income, she had $500 of expense

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The amount of interest expenses that Jennifer can deduct from her tax return for tax year 2019 is $100.

Explanation:

The amount of interest expenses that Jennifer can deduct from her tax return for tax year 2019 can be calculated using the following formula:

Interest expenses deductible = (Taxable interest / Total interest) * Interest expenses .................... (1)

Where;

Taxable interest = $1,200

Total interest = $6,000

Interest expenses = $500

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Interest expenses deductible = ($1,200 / $6,000) * $500

Interest expenses deductible = 0.20 * $500

Interest expenses deductible =$100

Therefore, the amount of interest expenses that Jennifer can deduct from her tax return for tax year 2019 is $100.

A firm agreed to pay its workers $2525 an hour in 2016 and $4141 an hour in 2017. The price level for these years was 241 in 2

NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) 10.4%; 16.73%

(b) 6.33%

Explanation:

Given that,

Wages paid to the workers in 2016 = $25 per hour

Price level in 2016 = 241

Wages paid to the workers in 2017 = $41 per hour

Price level in 2017 = 245

Real wage rate in 2016:

= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100

= ($25 ÷ 241) × 100

= 0.104 × 100

= 10.4%

Real wage rate in 2017:

= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100

= ($41 ÷ 245) × 100

= 0.1673 × 100

= 16.73%

Therefore, the real wage increase received by these workers in 2017 is calculated as follows:

= Real wage rate in 2017 - Real wage rate in 2016

= 16.73% - 10.4%

= 6.33%

Hence, these workers do get a raise between the two years.
