Answer: reduce output.

Explanation:

In a competitive market, firms do not have control over the price that they sell their goods in the market but they do have control over their costs. It is recommended to produce/ sell goods at a quantity where Marginal Revenue will equal Marginal cost (MR = MC).

In a Competitive Market, Price is the same as Marginal revenue which means that Marginal revenue here is $25 and the Marginal Cost is $26. At this quantity of output, the Marginal Cost is larger than the Marginal revenue.

Company should therefore reduce output to a quantity where Marginal Cost will equal Marginal revenue.

Refer to the information in Homework 2 Question 2: Ross derives utility from only two goods, chocolates (x) and donuts (y). His
Margaret [11]

Answer:

The total effect is 35 out of which income effect is 15 and substitution effect is 20.

Explanation:

Ross has an income of $1440.

The price of chocolates (Px) is $10 and donuts (Py) is $9.

The utility function is given as

U = 0.5xy

Before price rise, Budget line:

1440 = 10x + 9y,

Consumption is optimal when

\frac{MUx }{ MUy} = \frac{Px}{Py} = \frac{10}{9} = 1.11

0.5y / 0.5x= 1.11

y = 1.11x

Substituting in budget line,

1440 = 10x + 9y = 10x + 9(1.11x)

1440 = 10x + 9.99x

19.99x = 1440

x = 72

y = 1.11x = 79.92 = 80

After price rise,

Py = 16.

New budget line:

1440 = 10x + 16y,

Price ratio

\frac{Px}{Py } =  /

=\frac{10}{16}

= 0.625

And,

\frac{MUx}{Muy} = \frac{0.5y}{0.5x} = 0.625

\frac{y}{x}  = 0.625

y = 0.625x

Substituting in new budget line: 1440 = 10x + 16y

1440 = 10x + 16(0.625)x

1440 = 20x

X = 72

Y = 0.625x = 45

So, total effect (TE)

= Decrease in consumption of y

= 80 - 45

= 35

With previous (x, y) bundle,

U = 0.5xy

U = 0.5 x 72 x 80

U = 2880

Keeping utility level the same & substituting,

y = 0.625x in utility function:

28800 = 0.5xy

2880 = 0.5\ \times\ 0.625x

2880 = 0.3125x^{2}

x^{2}  = \frac{2880}{0.3125}

x^{2} = 9216

x = \sqrt{9216}

x = 96

Now, putting the value of x,

y = 0.625\ \times\ x

y = 0.625\ \times\ 96

y = 60

Substitution effect (SE)

= 80 - 60

= 20

Income effect

= TE - SE

= 35 - 20

= 15

Required information E12-3 Understanding the Computation of Cash Flows from Operating Activities (Indirect Method) [LO 12-2] [Th
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Net income = $320

Net cash flow from Operating activity = $145

Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

1. Cash A/c Dr $485

        To Service revenue A/c $485

(Being sales service is provided for cash)

2. Salary expense A/c Dr $165

   Outstanding salary expense A/c Dr $175

              To Salary and wages payable A/c  $340

(Being salary expense is recorded)

Salary and wages payable A/c  $340

       To Cash $340

(Being salary and wages are paid)

The net cash flow from operating activities would be

= Service revenue - salaries and wages payable

= $485 - $340

= $145

The net income would be

= Sales - salary expense

= $485 - $165

= $320

Cash flow from Operating activities under the indirect method  

Net income $320

Less: Decrease in salary payable - $175

Net Cash flow from Operating activities $145

​Poland's Paints allocates overhead based on machine hours. Selected data for the most recent year follow. Estimated manufacturi
sasho [114]

Answer:

The amount of manufacturing overhead allocated for the year based on machine hours would have been​ $268,087

Explanation:

For computing the manufacturing overhead amount, first, we have to compute the predetermined overhead rate. The formula is shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)

= $238,700 ÷ 20,200 hours

= $11.81

Now the manufacturing overhead equal to

= Actual direct labor-hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 22,700 hours × $11.81

= $268,087
