Answer:

The correct answer is the third statement which says to maximize profits, the firm should produce less than 500 units.

Explanation:

The quantity of output produced is 500 units.

The marginal cost of producing 500 units is $1.50.

The minimum average variable cost is $1.

The price of the product is $1.25.  

The firm will be at equilibrium when the price is equal to marginal cost. To maximize profits firm should decrease output to the extent that marginal cost comes to $1.25. At that point, the firm will earn profits as average variable cost is lower than the price.

The question is incomplete:

If Farmer Brown plants no seeds on his farm, he gets no harvest. If he plants 1 bag of seeds, he gets 5 bushels of wheat. If he plants 2 bags, he gets 9 bushels. If he plants 3 bags, he gets 12 bushels. A bag of seeds costs $120, and seeds are his only cost.

Farmer Brown's total-cost curve is

a. increasing at an increasing rate.

b. increasing at a decreasing rate.

c. increasing at a constant rate.

d. decreasing.

Answer:

a. increasing at an increasing rate.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, you can create a graph with the information given hich is attached.

You can see that the curve is increasing and because of that you can eliminate option d that is decreasing. Then, you have to consider that increasing at a constant rate would show an straight line which is not the case. Also, increasing at a decreasing rate would show a decreasing slope which is not what you see in the graph. Because of that, the answer is that Farmer Brown’s total cost curve is increasing at an increasing rate because the graphs shows an increasing slope.

       Consolidate Income Statement

For the year ended, 31 December, 20XX

Particulars               ABC                   XYZ                

Sales                     $500,000         320,000                        

Less: Expenses   <u>$(280,000)      $(240,000)</u>

Net Income          $220,000          $80,000                

Consolidated Income for the year under the proprietary theory approach for ABC corporation = $220,000 + (80,000 × 80%) = $220,000 + 64,000

= $284,000
