Suppose that a typical firm in a monopolistically competitive industry faces a demand curve given by: q = 60 − (1/2)p, where q i

s quantity sold per week. The firm’s marginal cost curve is given by: MC = 60. How much will the firm produce in the short run? What price will it charge? In addition to providing the quantitative answers for the question, please also describe the approach you used to arrive at your conclusions.

Answer:

Explanation:

In a monopolistic firm, demand curve = average (AR) curve. Given, q=60- (1/2)P, then the price (P) would be as below:

(1/2)P= 60-q

P= 120-2q

Answer:

a) Quantity = 15 Units

b) Price = 90

Explanation:

First, we know we are dealing with a Monoplistically competitve firm and as such the calculations are as follows

Q = 60-(1/2)P

Therefore, 1/2 P = 60-Q

P = (60-Q)2 - First Equation

Second Equation

TR = P-Q

TR= (120-2Q)Q

TR= 120Q -2Q∧2

MR = dTR/dQ = 12- (1) - 2 x 2Q

= 120-4Q

Based on these Formula,

The Profit Maximizing Condition = MR=MC

Where Marginal Revenue = Marginal Cost

As such

120-4Q = 60

120-60 = 4Q

Q = 60/4 = 15 units

Therefore, the units to be produced in the short run = 15 units

2) The Price the firm will charge for the units produced

In order to arrive at the price, we use the price equation and substitute 15 for Q

Price Equation

P = 120 - 2(Q)

P = 120 - 2(15)

P= 120-30

P= 90

Andrew and Emma Garfield invested $7,900 in a savings account paying 4% annual interest when their daughter, Angela, was born. T
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

$44,440.96

Explanation:

We must find the future value of the initial $7,900 deposit and the annuity (17 deposits of $1,200 each)

  • future value of the initial deposit = present value x (1 + interest rate)ⁿ = $7,900 x 1.04¹⁸ = $16,003.95
  • future value of the annuity = Payment x ([1 + interest rate]ⁿ - 1) / interest rate = $1,200 x (1.04¹⁷ - 1) / 0.04 = $28,437.01

total amount on Angela's savings account = $16,003.95 + $28,437.01 = $44,440.96

kaheart [24]

Answer:

Task a:

The answer is $24,500.

Task b:

The answer is 17%

Explanation:

<h2>Task a:</h2><h3>What is the maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the LOWEST  component cost of EQUITY?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>

We already know the following:

Projected net income = $21,000

Payout ratio = 30%

Retention ratio = 70%

Debt share = 40%

Equity share = 60%

Maximum amount of capital to be raised at the lowest component cost of equity = Projected net income ×\frac{Retention ratio}{Equity share}

= $21,000 × \frac{0.70}{0.60}

= $24,500

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the lowest component of equity is $24,500.

<h2>Task b:</h2><h3>What is the component cost of equity by selling new common stock?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>

k(e) (component cost of external equity) = [Dividend (D0)(1 + growth) / stock price(1 - flotation cost)] + growth

Formula:

k(e) = \frac{Do(1+g)}{P(1-0.20)} + 0.05

Where

Do = $2.00

G = 0.05

P = $21/88

= ($2.00(1 + 0.05) / $21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05

= ($2.10/$21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05

= ($2.10/$21.88(0.80) + 0.05

= 0.17 or 17%

<h3>Answer: </h3>

The component cost of equity by selling new common stock = 17%

If a product is repaired under warranty, the seller would record a journal entry that includes a ________.a. debit to Product Wa
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: Debit to Product Warranty Payable

Explanation: Product Warranty Payable is a liability account that has a credit balance. To increase a liability a credit is recorded while to reduce a liability a debit is recorded to the liability.

The seller maintains the warranty as a liability and initially records a debit to its product warranty expense and a credit to its product warranty Payable.

When a repair is done on a product under warranty, the seller records a debit to the product warranty Payable to reduce it’s liability.

Also, a debit to either supplies or cash will increase the expense and assets accounts respectively which will amount to incorrect journal entries.
