Even when competitive firms are unable to calculate marginal revenue product directly, ______________________________ will push

Alona [7]

Answer:

Even when competitive firms are unable to calculate marginal revenue product directly, <u>competition in the labor market</u> will push wage rates toward the marginal revenue product of labor.

Explanation:

The labor market is made up of employers seeking for labor and employees offering their labor services. The law of supply and demand also applies to this market, when more employers are seeking employees, the price (= salary) will increase.

For example, if many companies are making a profit and they need more labor, the salaries will rise because the demand is rising.

Also the suppliers, the potential employees, compete against each other for the best possible jobs.

Kiddy Toy Corporation needs to acquire the use of a machine to be used in its manufacturing process. The machine needed is manuf

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The machine should be leased because it is cheaper when compared to buying the machine.

Explanation:

To determine which option kiddy should choose , we are to calculate the net present value of buying the machine and the present value of payments thay kiddy would make if they lease the equipment.

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 = $-161,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 11 = $-6,000

Cash flow in year 12 = $-6,000 + $11,000 = $5,000

I = 11%

NPV = $-196,809.89

Present value of lease payment

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 11 = $-26,000

I = 11%

PV = $-161,369.40

The machine should be leased because it is cheaper when compared to buying the machine.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

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 NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

Present value can be calculated using the same steps as above
