Answer:

Marginal Cost = $30

Explanation:

Given that

Price = $60

Elasticity of demand = -2

Recall that

MC = P(1 + 1/Ed)

From monopolist pricing rule as a function of elasticity of demand.

Where MC = marginal cost

Ed = elasticity of demand = -2

Thus

MC = 60 (1 + 1/-2)

= 60 (1 + [-0.5])

= 60 ( 1 - 0.5)

= 60 (0.5)

= 30

MC = $30

s has decided that he wants to build enough retirement wealth that, if invested at 7 percent per year, will provide him with $3,
Crank

Answer:

Annual deposit= $26,344.36

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The interest rate is 7 percent per year.

He wants to have enough money to provide him with $3,000 of monthly income for 30 years. To date, he has saved nothing, but he still has 20 years until he retires.

First, we need to calculate the total amount of money required:

Final value= 3,000* (30*12)= $1,080,000

Now, we can calculate the annual deposit:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

FV= 1,080,000

i= 0.07

n= 20

A= (1,080,000*0.07) / [(1.07^20) - 1]= $26,344.36

Marigold Corp. took a physical inventory on December 31 and determined that goods costing $155,000 were on hand. Not included in
patriot [66]

Answer: $‭204,800‬

Explanation:

When a good is shipped FOB shipping point, it means that the buyer assumes responsibility for the goods as soon as the goods reach the place they will be shipped from. The purchase from Pelzer should therefore be included in inventory because it has already been shipped.

A good shipped FOB Destination means that the buyer only assumes responsibility after the goods have been delivered to them. As the sale to Alvarez was still in transit, it is still the responsibility of Marigold and should be included in inventory.

Inventory is therefore:

= 155,000 + 28,000 + 21,800

= $‭204,800‬
