Answer: It is reasonable to assume that a profit-maximizing firm will never operate in the inelastic portion of its demand curve.

Explanation:

It should be noted that a firm that profit maximizing will not operate in the inelastic portion of its demand curve because at that point, the firm isn't maximizing profit.

When there's an inelastic demand, an increase in price will bring about a less than proportionate reduction in the quantity of the goods that's demanded. In such case, if the firm operates at the inelastic portion of its demand curve, when it increases price, this will lead to a reduction in income and profit will not be maximize.

Answer:

External funds needed = $40,000.

Explanation:

An increase in the firm's retained earnings (a component of the shareholder's equity) arises as a result of higher sales volume, thereby making the Asset = Liability + Shareholder's Equity Equation unbalanced.

Therefore, there must be an increment in the firm's assets by an equal amount in order to re balance the equation. If there is an increase in assets by a greater magnitude than retained earnings increment, the gap is filled by external financing (which is a liability and increases the liability component of the equation).

Net income = Sales * profit margin = $500000*10% = $50000

Dividend= Net income * payout ratio = $50000*20%= $10000

Increase in retained earnings = Net income - Dividend = $(50000-10000)

= $40000

Increase in assets = $80000

External funds needed = $(80000-40000) = $40,000.

In 2016, teller company sold 3,000 units at $600 each. variable expenses were $420 per unit, and fixed expenses were $270,000. t

Assuming that you have the values for the year 2017, the break-even point would be 1500 units for the year 2017. To calculate this, we use the idea that at the breaking point, total sales is equal to the total cost or expenses made. Which would be:

selling (x) = fixed + variable (x)

x = fixed / (selling - variable)
x = 270000 / (600-420)
x = 1500 units
