Explain why to maximize profits a firm needs to produce an output at a level where marginal revenue

Business

Orlov [11]2 years ago

Answer:

Rest of question:

... equals marginal cost.

Firms will maximize profits at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost because producing after this point means that no profits will be made.

As long as the Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, there will be profits made because the company is making more than it is spending so they should keep producing. When it gets to a point in production where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the company should not produce further than that.

This is because, as earlier mentioned, any further production would result in the marginal cost being larger than the marginal revenue which means that a loss will be made. The company should therefore stop at the point where MR = MC so as not to let MC get larger than MR so that no losses will be made.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Depreciation expense for 2017: $26,400

The book value of the equipment at December 31, 2017: $45,600

Explanation:

Under the straight-line method, useful life is 5 years, so the asset's annual depreciation will be 20% of the Depreciable cost.

Depreciable cost = Total cost of the equipment - Residual value =  $72,000 - $6,000 = $66,000

Under the double-declining-balance method the 20% straight line rate is doubled to 40% - multiplied times the Depreciable cost's book value at the beginning of the year.

Depreciation expense for 2017 = 40% x $66,000 = $26,400

Accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2017 = $26,400

Book value of the equipment at December 31, 2017 = Cost of the equipment - Accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2017 = $72,000 - $26,400 = $45,600
