Answer:
When the LARC (Long Run Average Cost) curve slopes downward over the relevant or material range of the output
Explanation:
LRAC stands for Long Run Average Cost, is that curve which represents the average cost, in the long period for producing a given or stated quantity of the output.
So, the one situation which will minimize the efficient scale of operation provide no guidance is when the LARC curve is downward sloping over the material range of the output. It states that the market should be served by a single firm in order to minimize the aggregate cost of the production.
Answer:
Book value per share: 48.88
Explanation:
The book value per share is the minimun value of the company equity.
Book value per share = (Total Equity - Preferd Equity) / Total shares outstanding
Book value per share = 2,200,000 / 45,000
Book value per share = 48.88
In the numerator, we do not deduct anything from equity because there are no preferred shares. In the dividend, the outstanding shares are 45,000, because 50,000 have been issued and 5,000 are held in treasury, despite being authorized to issue 100,000 shares.
Answer:
The correct answer is option d.
Explanation:
An increase in the market demand will cause the market demand curve to move to the right. This rightward shift in the demand curve will lead to an increase in the market price.
This increase in market price will cause the individual demand curves to move upwards. As the price increases, the profits earned by the firms will increase as well.
Profit to a firm is the difference between its total revenue and total cost, as the price increases, revenue will increase and cost will remain the same. This will cause profits to increase.
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
The net income is the difference between the sales and total cost which comprises of the variable cost and fixed cost. The sales and variable cost are dependent on the number of units sold.
Let
u = number of units
s = selling price per unit
v = variable cost per unit
F = Fixed cost
I = Net income
I = su - F - vu
but vu = 0.3su
Hence
I = su - 0.3su - F = 0.7su - F
Given that the proposal will increase sales by $12,000,
New sales = su + 12000 ( in $)
and total fixed costs by $8,400
New fixed cost = F + 8400
New variable cost = 0.3( su + 12000) = 0.3su + 3600
New net income = su + 12000 - 0.3su - 3600 - F - 8400
= 0.7su - F
New net income is same as the old net income hence no increase.
