Answer:
Option (a) and (b) are considered or correct.
Explanation:
Under the following two conditions, a firm in a perfectly competitive market produces at a point where the marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost:
(i) Minimum AVC < Price < minimum ATC : Yes
In this case, a firm may suffer a loss but it will be able to cover its minimum average variable cost. Hence, this firm continue operating in this market and if he shut down its operation then he may suffer a larger loss. Therefore, it chooses to continue operating under this market conditions.
(ii) Price > minimum ATC : Yes
In this case, the price received by the seller is greater than the minimum average total cost. Therefore, the firm is able to cover all of its cost of production and earning an economic profit. Hence, it obviously chooses to continue its operation.
The third option is not considered here because in this case, the firm won't be able to cover its variable cost.
Answer:
(a) $18,000
(b) $3,600
Explanation:
(a) Profit would be:
= (No. of shares × Undervalued) - (No. of shares × Overvalued)
= (1,800 × $16) - (1,800 × $6)
= $28,800 - $10,800
= $18,000
(b) Only half your order will be filled.
With rationing (and being an uninformed investor) we expect our profits:
= (No. of shares × Undervalued) - (No. of shares × Overvalued)
= (900 × $16) - (1,800 × $6)
= $14,400 - $10,800
= $3,600
Answer:
the money multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio
in this case, the reserve ratio is 10% (required) + 10% (voluntary) = 20%, so the money multiplier = 1/20% = 5
What is the immediate impact of this transaction on the money supply?
- None, since the money supply doesn't change. When a customer deposits money in a bank, the money does not increase, only its composition changes.
The maximum amount by which this bank will increase its loans from the transaction in part (a)
- the bank will be able to loan ⇒ total deposit x (1 - reserve ratio) = $9,000 x (1 - 20%) = $7,200
The maximum increase in the money supply that will be generated from the transaction in part
- since the banks started to "create" money by lending the money, the money supply will increase by ⇒ total deposit x (money multiplier - 1) = $9,000 x 4 = $36,000
Assume that the government increases spending by $9,000, which is financed by a sale of bonds to the central bank. Indicate what will happen to the money supply.
- The money supply will increase.
Explain what will happen to the money demand.
- The money demand will also increase because aggregate demand and income will increase. Aggregate demand will increase by ⇒ $9,000 x government multiplier. The government multiplier = 1 / MPS.
Answer: The income statement should reflect $15,000.
Explanation: The reason is because accounting procedures are always guided by certain principles or concepts. One of such concepts is the Realization Concept. This simply states that income is considered to have been earned when the goods/services have been dispatched /rendered to the client and the client has incurred liability for such (or has accepted his/her indebtedness). The Accrual Concept is also applicable in the above instance because this concept/principle states that revenues and expenses are recognized as soon as they are earned and incurred and not when money is expended or received. So basically, XYZ Law firm has provided services for two clients. One of them has paid while the other will pay sometime later. Both of them are already recognized as revenue and the current income statement will reflect revenue transactions to the tune of $15,000.
