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.

Virty [35]

Answer:

yield to maturity = 7.06%

Explanation:

yield to maturity (YTM) is calculated using the following formula:

YTM = {C + [(FV - PV) / n]} / [(FV + PV) / 2]

  • FV = $2,000
  • PV = $1,902.14
  • C = $2,000 x 6.48% x 1/2 = $64.80
  • n = 12 x 2 = 24

YTM = {64.80 + [(2,000 - 1,902.14) / 24]} / [(2,000 + 1,902.14) / 2] = (64.80 + 4.0775) / 1,951.07 = 0.0353 or 3.53% semianually or 7.06% annually

Since the bond sells at a discount, its yield to maturity will be higher than the coupon rate.

If the signaling theory of education is correct;
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

C. workers with more years of formal schooling are less likely to be affected by ability, effort, and chance.

Explanation:

The <em>signalling theory in education</em> tells us that employees send "signals" to their employees regarding their education. In other words, employers are willing to pay higher wages to employees with additional years of formal schooling.

This means these qualified workers have their wage primarily defined by their education level, which does not always reflect their true skill-set (the output of ability and effort).

Marmol Corporation uses the allowance method for bad debts. During year 1, Marmol charged $30,000 to bad debt expense, and wrote
4vir4ik [10]

Answer: Option (d)

Explanation:

Under this case the write off will be as follow:

                                                                      Debit         Credit

Allowance for doubtful accounts                25,200  

Accounts receivables                                                     25,200

Here, in this case the Allowance for the doubtful accounts and Accounts receivables are further decreased as the outcome of the transaction made. Thus, there will be no further effect on working capital. Therefore the $30,000 that is bad debt would then be stated as the credit to allowance account. This will then decrease the working capital by $30,000.
