Answer: A. $250 million

Explanation:

The firm is a Monopoly and is lobbying Congress to remain that way. As a monopoly it makes $10 million a year and wants to remain a monopoly for the next 25 years.

Assuming there is no discount rate which means that the value of money stays the same over the 25 years, if they succeed in Congress, they have a chance to make a total profit of,

= 10 million * 25 years

= $250 million

If the maximum amount the firm can make if the lobbying is successful is $250 million, this is the maximum they will pay to lobby for a deterrence to entry. If they pay any amount more than $250 million, they will be making a loss and therefore it would make no sense to spend that amount of the lobbying.

<span>For the answer to the question above, before you can place a lien on a business property, you must first have a court order -- a judgment -- directing the debtor to pay what is owed. After filing a claim with the court and submitting proof of the amounts owed to you, the business must answer and explain why the debt is not owed. The court will grant your request if there is no evidence to show that the debtor does not owe the amounts in question and enter a judgment in your favor.</span>

pychu [463]

b) indirect manufacturing cost $130,000

2 a) the manufacturing department cost will be of $350,000

  b) zero as direct material, labor and overhead can be determinated.

3) a) $40,000

  b) $50,000 advertizement.

4) No as we can set the object cost to determinate the direct and indirect cost of the adminsitrative expenses.

Explanation:

a) The direct manufacturing cost will be the variable manufacturing cost linked to the unit cost:

Materials $7 + Labor $4 = $11 per unit

20,000 units x $11.00 = $ 220,000

b) indirect manufacturing cost will be the overhead.

20,000 x ($1.5 + $5) = 130,000

2)

a) Materials, labor and overhead.

which totals for 350,000

2 b) all the manufacturing cost are traceable so zero.

3)

fixed selling

20,000 x 3.5 = 70,000

less 50,000 advertizement = 20,000

variable sales:

commisions $1 x 20,000 + 20,000 = 40,000 direct cost (sales persons)

b) the indirect cost will be the advertizement as cannot be linked directly to the sales person cost.
