<span>When a monopolist switches from charging a single price to perfect price discrimination, it reduces the consumer surplus. Consumer surplus is defined as the difference between what a consumer believes they should pay for a good or service and the total amount that they actually do pay. The amount they pay is known as the market price and what they are willing to pay is noted on the demand curve. </span>
Answer:
24 million shares ; $16 million
Explanation:
The computation of the weightage number of treasury shares are shown below:
Number of shares Price Total
2 $22 $44 million
1 $28 $28 million
Total 3 $72 million
So, the weighted average number of shares would be
= $72 ÷ 3 = 24 million shares
Now the journal entry would be
Cash A/c Dr $64 million (2 million treasury shares × $32)
To Paid in capital - share repurchase A/c $16 million
To Treasury stock $48 million (24 million treasury shares × $2)
(Being the treasury shares are sold)
Answer:
4,513 approx.
Explanation:
The computation of the minimum number of jars of silver polish is shown below:-
Sales revenue for one jar of silver polish $5.60
Sales revenue for 1/4 pound of Grit 337 0.85
($3.40 × 1 ÷ 4)
Incremental revenue from
further processing $4.75
($5.60 - 0.85)
Incremental costs of further processing:
Processing costs $2.40
Selling costs $0.40 $2.80
Incremental contribution
margin from further
processing into silver polish
per jar $1.95
($4.75 - $2.80)
Point of indifference denotes the point where all options are equally profitable. But after that we will see that more processing is profitable. This is due to the fixed costs involved in further production.
Thus Minimum number of jars needed to produce to justify the further processing = Avoidable Fixed cost ÷ Incremental contribution
= $8,800 ÷ $1.95
= 4,513 approx.
Answer:
b. each person evaluates the situation according to his/her individual self-interest.
Explanation:
This can be generally seen in ancient and modern form of economics where in the course of their works, they can end up countering themselves in the midst of a project.
Here, or in a case of such, a great part of economics deals and accommodates psychology an the both economics that have probably found themselves in the field are expected to evaluate the situation according to each others self interest; especially when knowing the risks, pros and negative effect of the activities that is been carried out.
Secondly, this model is a useful measurement device by which economic situations can be evaluated and also levels of competition that exist in real markets can be checked.
