Answer:
Explanation:
a) since MR=MC, then 15-2Q=3+Q. So, the monopolist produce Q=4
price P=15-Q=10-4=6
profit=6*3-TC=18-(3+4+0.5*4^2)=3
b)since the P=6=6, domestic production will stay the same. The domestic consumption will stay the same. For Wilknam, it will import soccer balls.
c)yes, it holds that Wiknam will be an importer. Because the price for domestic production is 6 which is same as the world price 6.
d)Since the price within country is the same with price out of country, and also, MC=3+Q=7>6, Wiknam will import soccer balls. The monopolist market will become a competitive market.Even though the price won't change,the product will be of high quality and so on. The market will become more equilibrium.
Answer: $3000
Explanation: Allowance for doubtful accounts is the contra account to accounts receiveable when all the bad debts need to be accounted for. The bad debts reduces the accounts receivable line but all bad debts are actually deducted from the allowance for doubtful accounts.
The allowance for doubtful accounts for that year is calculated as 5% of the accounts receivable balance. This amounts to $8000 (160000 x 5%) before bad debts have been accounted for. Allowance for doubtful accounts moves in the opposite direction as accounts receivable because it is a contra account to this line item. At the end of the year before year end closing entries are done, and after the bad debts have been accounted for, the balance on the allowance for doubtful accounts is $5000.
This means that bad debts for that year is:
8000 (balance before bad debts have been accounted for)
- 5000 (balance after bad debts have been accounted for)
= $3000.
Answer:
Hilary is a retired teacher who lives in Miami and does some consulting work for extra cash. At a wage of $50 per hour, she is willing to work 10 hours per week. At $65 per hour, she is willing to work 19 hours per week.
Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Hilary’s labor supply between the wages of $50 and $65 per hour is approximately 2.37 , which means that Hilary’s supply of labor over this wage range is elastic.
Explanation:
Midpoint elasticity = (Change in labor supplied / Average labor supplied) / (Change in wage rate / Average wage rate)
= [(19 - 10) / (19 + 10) / 2] / [$(65 - 50) / $(65 + 50) / 2]
= [9 / (29 / 2)] / [15 / (115 / 2)]
= (9 / 14.5) / (15 / 57.5)
= 0.62/0.26
Midpoint elasticity = 2.37
Once elasticity is greater than 1, supply of labor is Elastic.
