Answer:
either the selling price decreases or the total output decreases
Explanation:
The firm's income statement:
total sales revenue = $120,000
minus total variable costs = ($72,000)
<u>minus total fixed costs = ($15,000) </u>
net profit = $33,000
The long run equilibrium for a monopolistically competitive firm occurs when the firm is making no economic profit since it is charging a price = average total cost.
In this case the average total cost per unit = $6 per unit + ($15,000 / 12,000 units) = $7.25 per unit
Since the firm is currently charging a higher selling price than average total cost ($10 > $7.25), one or two things might happen in the long run:
- selling price will decrease
- output will decrease
Answer:
$1932.37
Explanation:
To find out how much additional money he must deposit if he waits for 1 year rather than making a deposit today we need to find the difference:
Difference = Value after 1 year - Present value
We first convert the interest rate percentage by dividing interest rate value by 100
Present Value = $40 000 / (1 + 0.035)5 = $7729.47
Value after 1 year = $40 000 / (1 + 0.035)4 = $9661.81
Difference = $9661.81 - $7729.47 = $1932.37
Answer:
b. Accept Project A and reject Project B.
Explanation:
To verify project viability at a required return rate of 16%, simply calculate the project's net present value at a rate of 16%. If the NPV is positive, then the project should be accepted, otherwise it should be rejected.
Project A:
Project A should be accepted.
Project B:
Project B should be rejected.
