How do oligopolies influence market inefficiencies?

1 answer:

4 0

Oligopolies are inefficient as they do not produce the highest overall utility for the society. Since the market of sellers is few they limit the number of products being sold/made in order to limit their cost but increase their profit per unit. This results in the firm's producing the goods to gain more of the utility generated by the market and the consumers receive something much less. The loss of the consumers then out weighs the gain of the producers hence the total utility of the system is lower.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

$29,400

Explanation:

The company will distribute dividends only to outstanding shares, since the number of outstanding shares is not specified, we should assume that all the 49,000 shares issued are outstanding shares. The company declared a 2% dividend, so we must multiply the current value of the stock times 2% = $30 x 2% = $0.60 per share.

The total amount distributed was 49,000 outstanding shares x $0.60 per share = $29,400

alekssr [168]

Answer:

a) Standard WIP 75,000 debit

factory overhead 75,000 credit

b) applied to deluxe model 28 setups x $ 400 = $ 11,200

c) total overhead to deluxe: 35,200

Explanation:

$\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate$

expected overhead: 120,000

total labor hours: 375 + 22 = 600

overhead rate: 120,000 / 600 = 200

applied to Standard model: 375 hours x $ 200 = 75,000

overhead cost for setups: $ 20,000

total setups (cost driver) 22 + 28

activity rate: $ 20,000 / 50 setups = $ 400

applied to deluxe model 28 setups x $ 400 = $ 11,200

overhead cost for component: $40,000

total components: 8 + 12 = 20

activity rate: 40,000 / 20= 2,000

applied to deluxe model: 12 x 2,000 = 24,000

<u>Overhead cost into deluxe model under ABC:</u>

setup overhead applied to deluxe model 28 setups x $ 400 = $ 11,200

component overhead applied to deluxe model: 12 x 2,000 = 24,000

Total: 35,200
