Answer: c. Marginal Cost

Explanation:

A Competitive firm operates in a market where they are price takers. This means that the price they charge is equal to both their average revenue and their Marginal Revenue.

P = MR = AR

Companies maximise profit at a point where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost because at this point, resources are being fully utilized.

If the Competitive firm's Price is the same as its Marginal Revenue this means that to maximise profits, the firm should choose an output level where the price is equal to the marginal cost.

Super Saver Groceries purchased store equipment for $44,500. Super Saver estimates that at the end of its 10-year service life,

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

1) Using straight line method , depreciation for first year is $4,000

2) Using double declining balance , depreciation for first year is $8,900

3) Using activity based method, depreciation for first year is $5,600

Explanation:

Given:

Cost = $44,500

Useful life = 10 years

Salvage value = $4,500

Useful life in hours = 10,000 hours

Super Saver used the equipment for 1,400 hours the first year.

1) Straight line method

Depreciation for first year = (cost - salvage value) ÷ useful life

= $(44,500 - 4,500) ÷ 10

= $4,000 per year

2) Double declining balance

Depreciation rate = (100 ÷ useful life) × 2

= (100 ÷ 10) × 2

= 20%

Depreciation for first year = $44,500 × 20%

= $8,900

3) Activity based

Rate = cost - salvage value ÷ useful life in hours

= ($44,500 - $4,500) ÷ 10,000

= 4 per hour

Depreciation for first year = 1,400 × 4

= $5,600

labwork [276]

Answer:

The AC Corporation takes 46 Days average to pay back its accounts payable.

Explanation:

Average Accounts Payable = $7863.5

Cost of Goods Sold = $63,008

Number of Days in Accounting Period = 365

Days Payable Outstanding = (Average Accounts Payable / Cost of Goods Sold) x Number of Days in Accounting Period

Days Payable Outstanding = ($7,863.5 / $63,008) x 365

Days Payable Outstanding = 45.55

Therefor, the company takes an average of 46 days to pay back its accounts payable.

The sticky-price theory helps explain what feature of the aggregate demand and aggregate supply model?

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The stick price theory helps to explain the upward sloping shape of the aggregate supply curve.

Explanation:

The price tends to be sticky for a number of reasons.

Firms will need to incur menu costs if they constantly change prices
Frequent change in prices may annoy the customers
The wage rates remain the same even after change in price because the wages are based on contracts

The short-run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping because of the stickiness of price, there is a positive and direct relationship between output and price. Due to the high expected price level in the short run, the firms will expect the input prices to rise along with an increase in the product price.

To counter the increase in inputs price, the product price is kept high. The higher price provides motivation to produce more. That's why the short-run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping.

he Yachtsman Fund had NAV per share of $36.12 on January 1, 2016. On December 31 of the same year, the fund's NAV was $39.71. In

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer: 14.84%

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of return the investors received we will do a simple return formula to find out by how much, in terms of the Opening NAV, the fund has increased.

To find out how much the fund has increased by we can add up all the figures then deduct the opening balance.

= 39.71 + 0.64 + 1.13 - 36.12

= $5.36

$5.36 is the how much the fund has increased by.

Expressing it in percentage of the opening NAV per share we have,

= 5.36/36.12

= 0.14839424141

= 14.84%

14.84% is the rate of return that an investor received on the Yachtsman Fund in 2016.

The following costs and useful life data are associated with two new machines being considered at Arun Tech Inc.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Machine B has a higher NPV therefore should be produced

Explanation:

The machine with the higher Net Present Value (NPV) should be produced .

NPV of Machine A

PV of cash flow

PV of annual profit = A × (1- (1+r)^*(-n)/r

A- 92,000, n- 11, r- 12%

PV = 92,000 × (1- (1.12^(-11)/0.12 = 546268.32

PV of salvage value = 13,000× 1.12^(-11)= 3737.189

NPV = 546268.320 + 3737.189 -250,000 = $300,005.50

NPV of Machine B

A- 103,00, n- 19, r- 12%

PV = 103,000 × (1- (1.12^(-19)/0.12= 758675.0165

Pv of salvage value = 26000× 1.12^(-19)= 3018.776199

NPV =758675.0165 + 3018.77 -460,000 = $301,693.79

Machine B has a higher NPV , therefore should be produced.
