Answer:

Consider the following calculations

Explanation:

TC=0.2Q2 - 5Q + 30,

MC=0.4Q - 5.

Equilibrium condition

MC=P

0.4Q - 5 = 6

0.4Q = 11

Q = 11/.4

=27.5

Profit = TR - TC

        =27.5*6 - .2(27.5)2 -5(27.5)+30

       =165 -756.25 -137.5 +30

       = - 698.5

Firm is incurring loss

Firm will continue to produce as long as it is able to recover AVC

AVC =0.2Q -5

=0.2(27.5) -5

=5.5 -5

=0.5

Hence firm will continue to produce

Kitty [74]

Answer:

cash provided by operating activities  84,000

Explanation:

net income  75,000

Adjustment (A)

gain on land   (500)

depreciation   1,500

Adjusted net income                  76,000

Change in working capital

↑account receivable   (3,000) (B)

↓long term AR             10,000 (C)

↑Account payable         1,000 (D)

Net changes                               8,000

cash provided by operating activities  84,000

<u>Notes:</u>

(A)

The net income may have non-monetary term, we need to remove those to get and adjusted net income on a cash basis

the gain on land is not a monetary term. We will record the proceeds in cash for the sale under investment activities, not operating as the business is not selling land every year.

depreciation is an accounting metric, is not an actual expense, it doesn't involve cash.

(B)

the increasein the Ar means more sales were not collected therefore, less cash collected.

(C)

the decrease in the long term AR  represent the collection, so it increases the cash

(D)

the increase in account payable represent the delay of payment, so company has more cash available.
