Natalija [7]

Answer:

Nursery Supplies at year-end 76,000,000

Gain on investment 12,000,000

Explanation:

Considering is considered a long-term investment for Florists International and the percentage of owership is significant we use equity method.

value of the investment at year end:

begining 67,000,000

income 60,000,000 x 20% = 12,000,000

cash dividends 10,000,000 shares x 1.5 x 20% = (3,000,000)

ending investment 76,000,000

Suppose that the market demand curve for bean sprouts is given by P = 1,660 - 4Q, where P is the price and Q is total industry o

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

In equilibrium, total output by the two firms will be option e= 300.

Q = $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$

Q = 100 + 200

Q = 300

Explanation:

Data Given:

Market Demand Curve = P = 1660-4Q

where, P = price and Q = total industry output

Each firm's marginal cost = $60 per unit of output

So, we know that Q = $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$

where $q_{}$ being the individual firm output.

Solution:

P = 1660-4Q

P = 1660- 4( $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$ )

P = 1660 - 4 $q_{1}$ - 4 $q_{2}$

Including the marginal cost of firm 1 and multiplying the whole equation by $q_{1}$

Let's suppose new equation is X

X = 1660 $q_{1}$ - 4 $q_{1} ^{2}$ - 4 $q_{1}$ $q_{2}$ - 60 $q_{1}$

Taking the derivative w.r.t to $q_{1}$ , we will get:

$X^{'}$ = 1660 - 8 $q_{1}$ - 4 $q_{2}$ - 60 = 0

Making rearrangements into the equation:

8 $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$ = 1660 - 60

8 $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$ = 1600

Dividing the whole equation by 4

2 $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$ = 400

Solving for $q_{1}$

2 $q_{1}$ = 400 - $q_{2}$

$q_{1}$ = 200 - 0.5 $q_{2}$

Including the marginal cost of firm 1 and multiplying the whole equation by $q_{2}$

P = 1660 - 4 $q_{1}$ - 4 $q_{2}$

Let's suppose new equation is Y

Y = 1660 $q_{2}$ - 4 $q_{1}$ $q_{2}$ -4 $q_{2} ^{2}$ - 60 $q_{2}$

Pugging in the value of $q_{1}$

Y = 1660 $q_{2}$ - 4 $q_{2}$ (200 - 0.5 $q_{2}$ ) -4 $q_{2} ^{2}$ - 60 $q_{2}$

Y = 1660 $q_{2}$ - 800 $q_{2}$ +2 $q_{2} ^{2}$ -4 $q_{2} ^{2}$ - 60 $q_{2}$

Y = 1600 $q_{2}$ - 800 $q_{2}$ -2 $q_{2} ^{2}$

Taking the derivative w.r.t $q_{2}$

$Y^{'}$ = 1600 - 800 - 4 $q_{2}$ = 0

Solving for $q_{2}$

4 $q_{2}$ = 800

$q_{2}$ = 200

$q_{1}$ = 200 - 0.5 $q_{2}$

Plugging in the value of $q_{2}$ to get the value of $q_{1}$

$q_{1}$ = 200 - 0.5 (200)

$q_{1}$ = 200 - 100

$q_{1}$ = 100

Q = $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$

Q = 100 + 200

Q = 300

Hence, in equilibrium, total output by the two firms will be option

e= 300.

1. A parent sells merchandise to its subsidiary at a markup of 20% on cost. In the current year, the subsidiary had $120,000 in

NARA [144]

Answer:

The subsidiary reports cost of goods sold at A. $660,000.

Explanation:

Cost of goods sold is the direct cost of producing or purchasing the goods sold by a business. The formula for cost of goods sold is as follows:

Cost of goods sold = Opening inventory + Purchases - Closing inventory

The subsidiary calculates its cost of goods sold as follows.

Opening inventory $120,000

Add: Purchases $720,000

Less: Closing inventory ($180,000)

Cost of goods sold $660,000

Therefore, the correct option is A. $660,000.
