Pick Industries produces plastic toothpicks that it sells to distributors in the Southwest. During the early 1990s, the price of

the plastic it uses to produce toothpicks fell by 46 percent, due to a local glut of recycled plastic containers. Assuming that the market for plastic toothpicks most closely resembles that of perfect competition and that other firms in the industry do not experience similar cost savings in the short run, what impact would this have on the profit-maximizing output, price, and profits of Pick Industries?

Answer:

Other things equal, the fall in the price of plastic would shift Pic's marginal cost curve to the right. To maximize profits, Pic should increase its output. Since other firms in the industry do not enjoy the reduction in marginal costs, the market supply curve would not change and the market price of toothpicks would remain unchanged. Pic Industries would enjoy higher profits in the short-run

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Actual direct labor hours = 8,200

Actual rate = $12.40 per hour

Original  production = 1,100 units

Actual units produced = 1,000

Labor  standards = 7.6 hours per completed unit

standard rate = $13.00 per hour

Labor time variance:

= (Standard hours - Actual hours) × Standard rate

= (1,000 × 7.6 - 8,200) × $13

= 7,800 Unfavorable

Anna [14]

Answer:

$1,000 loss

Explanation:

The numbers are missing here, so I looked for a similar question:

A copy machine cost $5,000 when new and has accumulated depreciation of $4,000.

The carrying value of the copy machine = purchase cost - accumulated depreciation = $5,000 - $4,000 = $1,000

if the copy machine is discarded and doesn't get any money for it, this will result in a loss equal to the carrying value = $1,000

The internal rate of return is:
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": the discount rate that makes the net present value of a project equal to the initial cash.

Explanation:

The Internal Return Rate, or IRR, is a central component of corporate finance capital budgeting. Companies use it to determine which discount rate will make the Present Value of the after tax cash flows equal to zero (0). Any project that returns an IRR greater than 0 ads has a value.

<em>In the decision-making process, IRR is subordinated to Net Present Value because it is preferred an absolute dollar amount that is higher than a higher IRR.</em>
