ANSWER CHOICES

A.  operating with decreasing returns to scale

B.  a natural monopoly

C.  a legal monopoly

D.  monopolistically competitive

E.  productively efficient

Answer:

Based on this data, the market for product Z is:

A. operating with decreasing returns to scale.

Explanation:

For the Average Revenue (Price) to equal the Average Total Cost (ATC) and enable the firms operating in the market to break-even, the firms must increase their production units from 2 million to 3.5 million units.  The conclusion that the market for product Z is operating with decreasing returns to scale for a single supplier is because it will take a 75% increase in production for the average total cost to fall from $7 to $5 for the single producer.  In other words, the percentage increase in production does not result in a proportionate decrease in average total cost.

During March, Adams Company had sales of $5,000,000, variable expenses of $3,000,000, and fixed expenses of $1,500,000. Assume t
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Variable cost as a percent of sales:  

= (Variable expenses ÷ Sales) × 100

= ($3,000,000 ÷ $5,000,000) × 100  

= 60%

If Sales = X

then Variable cost is 0.6X (i.e. 60% of Sales)

Sales - Variable cost - fixed expenses = net operating income

X - 0.6X - 1,500,000 = 300,000

0.4X = 300000 + 1500000 = 1800000

X = 1800000 ÷ 0.4

  = 4,500,000

Rate of interest = 9%

NPER = 20 years

PMT = $18,000

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula the present value is $164,313.82

vladimir1956 [14]

The crowding-out effect implies that restrictive fiscal policy will reduce real interest rates.

<u>Option: D</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The crowding out effect is the circumstances where greater interest rates consequences gives output of a decline in private investment expenditure so as to dampen the initial rise in overall investment expenditure. Authorities often embraces a restrictive fiscal-policy approach and raises spending to stimulate economic activity. This contributes to interest-rate rises. Higher interest rates have a impact on private investment choices. A high magnitude of the crowding-out impact can also result in lower economic revenue.

a. Sales price variance             $104,000            ($110,000)      ($6,000) U

b. Activity variance                   $160,000           $420,000     $580,000 F

c. Mix variance                           $85,000           $180,000     $265,000 F

d. Quantity variance                $189,000             $70,000     $259,000 F

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                      Partner                 Staff

Budgeted billable rate per hour   $800                    $210    

Budgeted variable cost per hour    375                      120

Budgeted billable hours              5,000                20,000

Budgeted revenue             $4,000,000        $4,200,000

Budgeted variable cost         1,875,000          2,400,000

Actual revenue                  $4,264,000         $4,510,000

Actual billable hours                   5,200                22,000

Actual billable rate per hour       $820                   $205

Budgeted billable rate per hour $800                    $210

Variance in price                           $20                       ($5)

Sales price variance            $104,000            ($110,000)      ($6,000)

Sales price variance = (Standard price - Actual price) * Actual billable hours

= ($800 - $820) * 5,200 + ($210 - $205) * 22,000

= $20 * 5,200 + ($5) * 22,000

= $104,000 - 110,000

= $6,000 U

Activity variance = (Actual billable hours - Standard billable hours) * Standard rate

= (5,200 - 5,000) * $800 + (22,000 - 20,000) * $210

= (200 * $800) + (2,000 * 210)

= $160,000 + 420,000

= $580,000 F

                                                  Partner                 Staff        Total

Budgeted revenue             $4,000,000        $4,200,000   $8,200,000

Budgeted variable cost         1,875,000          2,400,000      4,275,000

Budgeted contribution       $2,125,000         $1,800,000   $3,925,000

Actual revenue                  $4,264,000         $4,510,000   $8,774,000

Actual variable cost              1,950,000          2,640,000    4,590,000

Actual contribution             $2,314,000         $1,870,000   $4,184,000

Quantity variance                 $189,000              $70,000     $259,000

Quantity variance = Budgeted contribution - Actual contribution

= $3,925,000 - $4,184,000

= $259,000 F

Mix Variance:

Standard contribution margin  $425                  $90

Volume variance                         200                2,000

Mix variance =                     $85,000           $180,000
