Sell the asset, which will drive down the price and cause the expected return to reach the level of the required return.
Answer:
Firm should hire the 4th worker as MR > MC.
Explanation:
Here, we are comparing the marginal cost of hiring 4th worker with the revenue generated by the 4th worker.
Marginal cost of hiring 4th worker:
= Total cost with 4 workers - Total cost with 3 workers
= $4,600 - $4,000
= $600
Total revenue generated by the 4th worker:
= Number of units produced by 4th worker × Price of each unit
= 50 × $15
= $750
Therefore, the firm should hire the 4th worker as the marginal revenue of 4th worker is greater than its marginal cost.
Answer:
$480
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Machine Hours Repair Costs
2,400 $6,385
1,200 $3,480
2,000 $5,285
3,400 $8,980
Now,
Machine Hours Repair Costs
Highest 3,400 $8,980
Lowest 1,200 $3,480
Difference 2,200 $5,500
Unit variable cost = $5,500 ÷ 2,200
= $2.5
Total cost at high level = $8,980
Machine hours highest level = 3,400
Also,
Total cost at high level = Fixed cost + Variable cost at highest level
or
$8,980 = Fixed cost + [ $2.5 × 3,400 ]
or
Fixed cost = $8,980 - [ $2.5 × 3,400 ]
= $8,980 - $8,500
= $480
It would not fall at all. Monopolists own the entire industry meaning the consumers have no alternatives. If they have no alternative they have no choice but to buy even if the price increases
Answer:
The price of the stock today is $42.94
Explanation:
The price of a stock whose dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate is calculated using the constant growth model of Dividend Discount model approach. It bases the price of the stock on the present value of the expected future dividends. The price today under this model is calculated as follows,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / r - g
Where,
- D0 * (1+g) is the D1 or the dividend for the next year
- r is the required rate of return
- g is the growth rate in dividends
P0 = 4 * (1+0.052) / (0.15 - 0.052)
P0 = $42.938 rounded off to $42.94
