Answer:

a) The price would be $300 and quantity would be 8000 oz

b) The price would be $700 and quantity would be 4000 oz

c) The price would be $700 and quantity would be 2000 oz each

d) The revenues of both firm would : increase ( for the firm that increase production ) and decrease ( for the firm that doesn't increase production)

Explanation:

marginal cost = $300

calculate the value of TR ( total revenue for each price and quantity given )

TR = price * quantity

also calculate the MR ( marginal revenue  for each )

MR = \frac{change in TR }{change in quantity}

For the first value : TR = $1000000 , MR = nil

For the second value : TR = $1800000 , MR = $800

For the third value : TR = $2400000. MR = $600

For the fourth value : TR = $2800000 , MR = $400

For the fifth value:  TR = $3000000 , MR = $200

For the sixth value : TR = $3000000, MR = $0

For the seventh value : TR = $2800000, MR = -$200

For the eighth value : TR = $2400000, MR = -$400

a)The price would be $300 and quantity would be 8000 oz because from the table above that is the point with highest  quantity supplied

b) The price would be $700 and quantity would be 4000 oz because the single supplier would put the price and quantity to be supplied at the point where marginal cost is closest to the marginal revenue

d) The revenues of both firm would : increase ( for the firm that increase production ) and decrease ( for the firm that doesn't increase production) this is because increase in production is directly proportional to increase in revenue .

kiruha [24]

Answer:

This means that receiving 9000 today is better for us as we will have more at the end of 6 years.

Explanation:

We need to first calculate what is the future value of payments in both scenarios. If we receive $9,000 today and invest it at 10% for 6 years we will have 9000*1.10^6=15,944

If we start reviving cash in 4 annual payments 2 years from now of $3000 we will have to find the future value of each individual payment and add them up.

First payment Future value = 3000*1.10^4=4392 (Money can be invested for 4 years at 10%)

Second payment future value = 3000*1.10^3=3993 (Money can be invested for 3 years at 10%)

Third payment future value = 3000*1.10^2=3630 (Money can be invested for 4 years at 10%)

Fourth payment future value = 3000*1.1=3300

Add them all up = 15315

This means that receiving 9000 today is better for us as we will have more at the end of 6 years.

A manufacturer has an estimated practical capacity of 90,000 machine hours, and each unit requires two machine hours. The follow
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Of the following factors, the manufacturer's production volume variance is most likely to have been caused by:

D. Temporary employment of workers with lower skill levels than originally anticipated.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated practical capacity = 90,000 machine hours

Machine hours per unit = 2

Estimated production units based on capacity = 45,000 (90,000/2)

                                                   Budgeted          Actual

Variable overhead =                 $200,000      $240,000

Actual fixed overhead =           $450,000      $442,000

Machine hours                             90,000           88,000

Units produced                            45,000           42,000

Estimated units to be produced based on standard machine hour

= 44,000 units (88,000/2)

Variance between standard units to be produced and actual = 2,000 (44,000 - 42,000) Unfavorable

On January 1, Year 1, Grade Company paid $300,000 for 20,000 shares of Medium Company's common stock, which represents a 15% inv
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

B) $300,000.

Explanation:

Since Grade Company cannot exercise any real influence on Medium Company, it cannot value its investment using the equity method and must record its investment at fair market value. This means that the investment account must equal the market value of the 20,000 stocks, which in this case is $300,000. Grade Company should also record dividends received as revenue from investing activities.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

25th house's Marginal cost is $250,000.

Explanation:

Given:

Total cost of 24 houses = $4,800,000

Total cost of 25 houses = $5,050,000

Marginal cost = ?

Computation of marginal cost:

Marginal cost = Change in total cost

Marginal cost = Total cost of 25 houses - Total cost of 24 houses

Marginal cost = $5,050,000 - $4,800,000

Marginal cost = $250,000

So, we say that 25th house's marginal cost will be $250,000 .
