You produce widgets for sale in a perfectly com- petitive market at a market price of $10 per wid- get. Your widgets are manufac

tured in two plants, one in Massachusetts and the other in Connecticut. Because of labor problems in Connecticut, you are forced to raise wages there, so that marginal costs in that plant increase. In response to this, should you shift production and produce more in your Massachusetts plant?

Answer: No.

Explanation:

This is a Perfectly Competitive market and that means that you are a price taker who maximises output at a point where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost ( MR = MC). As costs have gone up, it simply means that for the conditions to be satisfied, you need to produce less at the factory in Connecticut.

That does not mean that you have to produce more at the Massachusetts plant because it is already producing at capacity and increasing the marginal cost would violate the MR=MC rule as you have no control over the price so you cannot change Marginal Revenue. It is therefore better to keep the production level at the Massachusetts plant unchanged.

mash [69]

Answer:

Output and employment will increase exerting modest upward pressure on the price level.      

Explanation

In simple words, the increased demands for the good would work as an incentive for the producer to produce more and they can also lower their cost of production by producing in mass which will further lead to economies of scale.

More production means more requirement of workers which will eventually lead to more employment opportunities in the country. However, this increase   would lead to modest increase in prices due to more purchaser power in the country.

Concord Corporation had 807000 shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2021. In addition, it had 150000 stock options
Radda [10]

Answer:

846,000 shares

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Outstanding common stock = 807,000 shares

Outstanding option stock = 150,000

option price = $37

Market price of common stock = $50

So, 150,000 - (150,000 × $37 ÷ 50)

= 150,000 - 111,000

= 39,000

So, Number of shares = 807,000 + 39,000

= 846,000 shares

Bruin, Inc., has identified the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash Flow (A) Cash Flow (B) 0 –$ 37,500 –$ 37,50
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Year             Cash Flow (A)            Cash Flow (B)

0                      -37,500                      -37,500

1                         17,300                         5,700

2                        16,200                       12,900

3                        13,800                       16,300

4                         7,600                       27,500

1) Using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function:

IRR project A = 20%

IRR project B = 19%

2) Using the IRR decision rule, Bruin should choose project A.

3) In this case, since the length of the projects is only 4 years, then there should be no problem with the IRR decision rule, but for projects with longer time lengths, the discounts rates might vary and the best option is to use the modified internal rate of return (MIRR). But in this case the NPV of project B is higher, then Bruin should probably project B because it has a higher NPV. The NPV is always more important then the IRR.

4) Again using an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function:

NPV project A = $6,331

NPV project B = $8,139

5) first we must subtract cash flows from A by the  cash flows from B:

1      $11,600

2     $3,300

3    -$2,500

4   -$19,900

then we calculate the IRR = 16%

Bruin should be indifferent between the two projects at a 16% discount rate. That means that at discount rates above 16%, you should choose project A, but at discount rates below 16%, you should choose project B
