Answer: A. $250 million
Explanation:
The firm is a Monopoly and is lobbying Congress to remain that way. As a monopoly it makes $10 million a year and wants to remain a monopoly for the next 25 years.
Assuming there is no discount rate which means that the value of money stays the same over the 25 years, if they succeed in Congress, they have a chance to make a total profit of,
= 10 million * 25 years
= $250 million
If the maximum amount the firm can make if the lobbying is successful is $250 million, this is the maximum they will pay to lobby for a deterrence to entry. If they pay any amount more than $250 million, they will be making a loss and therefore it would make no sense to spend that amount of the lobbying.
Answer:
c. $400 billion
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what an initial increase in aggregate demand of $100 billion will eventually shift the aggregate demand curve to the right
First step is to calculate the GDP Multiplier
Using this formula
GDP Multiplier=1/(1-MPC)
Let plug in the formula
GDP Multiplier=1/1-0.75
GDP Multiplier=1/0.25
GDP Multiplier=4
Now let determine the shift in aggregate demand curve
Shift in aggregate demand curve=4*100 billion
Shift in aggregate demand curve= $400 billion
Therefore an initial increase in aggregate demand of $100 billion will eventually shift the aggregate demand curve to the right by $400 billion
Answer:
21%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-400,000.
Cash flow in year 1 - 4 = $157,452.975
IRR = 21%
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
Answer:
$71,000
Explanation:
The computation of operating income is shown below:-
Total costs if company bought = Cost of production × Outside supplier per unit) + (Fixed cost × Remaining percentage)
= (43,000 × $3.80) + ($68,000 × (100% - 30%))
= (43,000 × $3.80) + ($68,000 × 70%)
= $163,400 + $47,600
= $211,000
Loss in Income if part is bought = Total costs if company bought - Total costs originally
= $211,000 - $140,000
= $71,000
Therefore, Making profit will be more by $71,000 and for computing the Loss in Income if part is bought we simply applied the above formula.
Answer:
d. the law of demand
Explanation:
One of the foundations of current economy, the inversely proportional relationship between prices and quantity demanded, that is, the higher the price the lower the demand, is known by economists as the law of demand.
This law is a key factor in the determination of prices of goods and services that we see each day and reflects the decrease in the marginal utility of each extra unit with an increase in price.
