Answer:

The explanation is below

Explanation:

A.  Shutdown point is achieved when price equal AVC. when price lowers than the AVC, firm shutdown.

VC = q^2

AVC = q

So,

P = q is the shutdown point.

B.  For profit maximizing level of output,

P = MR = MC

500 = 20 + 2q

q = 240 units

So, profit maximization level of output = 240 units

C.  Firm level supply curve = MC curve above the shutdown point

Number of firms = 5

So,

Industry supply curve = 10*MC = 200+20Q

Industry supply curve = 200+20Q

It shows that MC curve above the shutdown point is supply curve.

If the Market Equilibrium Wage Rate is $105.00 and FC = $1500.00: A. The firm Shuts Down and hires no workers and loses $1500.00
BartSMP [9]

Answer: B. The firm hires 45 workers and earns a $1,200.00 Economic Profit

Explanation:

If the Market Equilibrium rate is $105 then the company should hire 45 workers as shown in the table.

If they did that, revenue would be $7,425

Expenses would be wages and fixed costs:

= Wages + fixed costs

= (45 workers * wage rate) + 1,500

= (45 * 105) + 1,500

= $6,225

Economic profit would be:

= 7,425 - 6,225

= $1,200

Terrence Industries charges manufacturing overhead to products by using a predetermined application rate, computed on the basis
puteri [66]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

First, we need to get the predetermined rate

Predetermined rate = Cost of manufacturing overhead / Cost driver

= $1,800,000/60,000

= $30

We will now calculate the application.

Actual labor hours × rate

= 61,500 × $30

= $1,845,000

We will now compare actual with overhead cost

= Applied Overhead cost - Actual manufacturing overhead

= $1,845,000 - $1,810,000

= $35,000

The above is an over application of overhead cost because the cost applied exceed the actual cost.

The following information has been provided by New​ Age, Inc.:
N76 [4]

Answer:

(D) $ 4,950

Explanation:

The computation is shown below

As We know that

Ending work in process inventory = Opening work in process inventory + total manufacturing cost - cost of goods manufactured

where,  

Total manufacturing cost = Direct materials used + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead  cost

= $10,000 + $25,800 + $19,200

= $55,000

So, the opening work in process inventory would be

$11,200 = Opening work in process + $55,000 - $48,750

So, the opening work in process is

= $4,950

A sharp downturn in the U.S. housing market reduced the income of many who worked in the home construction industry. A Wall Stre
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section.

Explanation:

If the wages of the Hispanics construction worker in America are less then, they will not have near as much money to send home to their relatives back in Mexico.

And if their families do not have as much as it use to be then they will not be able to buy near as much as they used to.

It means that if the construction workers don't get as much money as they used to then, neither they nor their families  will be able to spend as much as they use to which will obviously hurt each of their economies.
