Answer:

b. The monopolist is currently maximizing profits, and its total profits are $250

Explanation:

The computation of monopolist is shown below:-

The monopolist is producing 50 units ate which are

MR = $4

Price = $8

MC = $4

ATC = $3

This applies that

MR = MC

while

P > ATC

So the monopolist is making a profit by making profit-maximizing quantity.

Total profits are (P - ATC) × Q

= (8 - 3) × 50

= $250

Hence, b option is correct

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Increased responsibility for corporate officers

Explanation:

A review of eight thousand public companies, on the study of the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) of 2002 revealed that <u>SOX increased directors' workload and risk, and increased demand by mandating that firms have more outside directors. </u>

It was also revealed that both broad-based changes and cross-sectional changes (by firm size) occurred <u>because Board committees meet more often post-SOX</u> and Director and Officer insurance premiums have doubled.

You are a consulting firm intern and your job is to help a client choose investment projects. Your client, RealEstate, is a youn
vredina [299]

Answer:

Project 1, 2 and 3 should be rejected.

Explanation:

This problem required us to tell which project we should not accept. To solve this we have to apply this rule that is accept the project with positive NPV.

The detail calculation are given below.

The discount factors to be used for CFO, CF1, CF2 and CF3 is 1, 0.74, 0.55 and 0.41 respectively. It is calculated by using following formula.

               DF= (1 + i)^-n (n is period and i is 35%)

So now calculating NPV of each project by multiplying cashflow with discount factor.

Project 1 = -100+ (50*0.74 ) + (50*0.55) + (50*0.41) = -15 M dollars

Project 2 = -80 + (40*0.74) + (45*0.55) + (50*0.41) = -5.15 M dollars

Project 3 = -70 + (30 *0.74) + (40*0.55) + (50*0.41) = -5.3 M dollars

Project 4 = -60 + (30 *0.74) + (40*0.55) + (60*0.41) = 8.8 M dollars

Project 5 = -50 + (25 *0.74) + (30*0.55) + (70*0.41) =  13.7 M dollars
