Cold Duck Airlines flies between Tacoma and Portland. The company leases planes on a year-long contract at a cost that averages

Korvikt [17]

Answer:The Firm should continue to produce up until Revenue generated equals Marginal Cost. Cold Duck Company would maximize profit when the number of flights is in a level when Revenue equals Marginal cost which is the same as variable costs in this case.

Explanation:

Cold duck Airlines leases plane on a year long contract at an average cost of $600 per flight.The average cost of $600 per flight is calculated as Lease cost per year divided by number of flights. This tells us that the lease cost per year is fixed and the $600 average cost per flight is the Average Fixed cost. if Cold duck flies more planes between Tacoma and Portland The number flights will increase which will decrease the average lease cost per flight.

Other Costs fuel (flight attendants,etc) amount to $550 per flight, these costs will increase as Cold Duck Airlines increases flights between Tacoma and Portland. These costs should be treated as Variable costs because they increase as the number flights increases.

The revenue generated on each flight, which can be seen as the price for each flight is $1000.

The Firm maximizes its profits in a competitive market by producing a quantity level That makes Price equals Marginal cost, Marginal cost being the price of producing an additional unit, in this case is the cost of an additional flight which is $550 amount of other costs because lease cost fixed whether Cold Duck Makes 1 flight or 10 flights it doesnot change

The Firm should continue to produce up until Revenue generated equals Marginal Cost. Cold Duck Company would maximize profit when the number of flights is in a level when Revenue equals Marginal cost which is the same as variable costs in this case. Revenue would be equal to $550 when profit is at the maximum level

Proponents of the notion of a "political business cycle" suggest that:  A. The standardized budget is a better indicator of the

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

C. A possible cause of economic fluctuations is due to the use of fiscal policy for political purposes.

Explanation:

During political business cycles the ups and downs of the economy are best explained through analyzing public policy. In a political business cycle we should expect that there will be some manipulations when using policy to try to make the politicians appear more competent than they are. In 1972, the Nixon administration basically increased the Social Security payments made to Seniors by 20%, 1972, was of course an election year, so the Nixon administration manipulated economic fluctuations due to his fiscal policy.

Choate International plans to issue $15 million in 10-year bonds. They believe they can afford to pay $1,150,000 in interest to

Luda [366]

Answer:

Correct option is (B)

Explanation:

Given:

Bond issue amount = $15,000,000

Market interest rate = 7.75%

Investors cannot pay interest more than $1,150,000

Choate cannot choose 6.5%, the bond will become less attractive to investors as it indicates that the bond is selling at discount.

If 7.75% interest is given that is the market interest, then interest amount would be $1,162,500 (15,000,000 × 0.0775)

Choate cannot afford to pay more than $1,150,000, so it cannot offer bonds at 7.75% or 8.1%.

The only option left is 7.65%. Interest amount would be $1,147,500 (15,000,000 × 0.0765) which is less than what the company can afford. Also, it is just marginally lesser than market interest rate of 7.75%, so bonds would still be attractive.

Choate should select 7.65%.

The Churchill Corporation uses a periodic inventory system and the LIFO inventory cost method for its one prod-uct. Beginning in

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

$32,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the before-tax LIFO liquidation profit or loss that the company would report

Before-tax LIFO liquidation profit =8,000 Units × ($12.00 per unit – $9.00 per unit) + (12,000 units-10,000units)× ($12.00 per unit – $8 per unit)

Before-tax LIFO liquidation profit =(8,000 units× $3 per unit)+(2,000 units ×$4 per unit)

Before-tax LIFO liquidation profit =$24,000+$8,000

Before-tax LIFO liquidation profit =$32,000

Therefore the before-tax LIFO liquidation profit or loss that the company would report in a disclosure note will be $32,000
