Answer:

A. 15 units

B. $130

Explanation:

In order to solve this, we need to use the profit maximization condition for monopoly.

MR = MC will give us the optimal quantity and price for the monopolist.

The consumer's demand for the product is:

Qd = 80 - 0.5P

Therefore, we have:

P = (80 / 0.5) - (Qd / 0.5)

P = 160 - 2Qd

Recall that, Total Revenue:

TR = P * Q

So, in this case TR = 160Q - 2Q^2

MR = d(TR) / dQ = 160 - 4Q

Now, MR = MC

160 - 4Q = 100

4Q = 160 - 100

4Q = 60

Q = 60 / 4

Q = 15 units.

Now, P =160 - 2Q

P = 160 - 2(15)

P = 160 - 30 = 130

The optimal number of units to be placed in a package will therefore be 15 units while the firm should charge $130 for this package.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

1) loss at disposal                   68,000 debit

  accumulated depreciation 182,000 debit

                 milling machine          250,000 credit

2) loss at disposal                   33,000 debit

   cash                                     35,000 debit

  accumulated depreciation 182,000 debit

                 milling machine          250,000 credit

3)

   cash                                     68,000 debit

  accumulated depreciation 182,000 debit

                 milling machine          250,000 credit

4) cash                                     80,000 debit

   accumulated depreciation 182,000 debit

   gain  at disposal                          12,000 credit

                 milling machine          250,000 credit

Explanation:

the book value is the same for all alternatives:

cost - accumualted depreciation

250,000 - 182,000 = 68,000 net book value

1) as there is no salvage value all the book alue is considered loss at disposal

from #2 to #4 we recieve cash for the milling machine to determinate the loss/gain we need to do as follows:

proceeds less book value = result (gain if positive loss if negative)

2)       35,000 - 68,000 = -33,000

3)         68,000 - 68,000 = 0

4)          80,000 - 68,000 = 12,000

What will NOT cause a shortage?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
<h3>Answer: D) increase in prices</h3>

An increase in prices will reduce demand, and not supply. You could have an increase in prices due to a shortage, but price increases could also be from a number of other factors, one of which is demand increasing.

Meanwhile, war, scarcity and extreme weather all are possible factors of a shortage. So we can cross choices A,B,C off the list.

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

A company's income is either shared out as dividends or kept in as retained earnings. Therefore, the total of retained earnings and dividend paid out is the net income. This is the amount that will reflect in the income statement. In other words, income is calculated first before dividends or retained earnings are declared.

For ​Martinville, income will be calculated first before dividends are paid. Net income will be

=revenue - expenses

=$17,000 -$7,000

=$10,000

Balance in the Income Summary account was $10,000
