AfilCa [17]

Answer: A. Market Period.

B. Long Run

C. Short Run

Explanation:

A.Output and the number of firms are fixed

The MARKET PERIOD is a very short period that refers to a situation where all resources are FIXED. This means that Output itself is fixed and therefore cannot adjust to demand.

B.Plant capacity is flexible. Firms can enter and exit an industry.

This is the LONG RUN. A time where all resources are Variable. This means that factors such as Plant Capacity which is FIXED in the Short Run will simply be Variable and hence flexible in the long run. Other Firms are also free to enter or leave the Industry during this time.

C.Plant capacity and the number of firms are fixed. Firms can employ more labor if needed

This refers to the SHORT RUN which is a situation where AT LEAST one resource is FIXED and others are VARIABLE. As long as there is a Fixed Resource with some Variable Resources, it is the Short Run. Plant Capacity and Number of Firms are fixed but Labor is Variable. This makes this scenario a Short Run Scenario.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Overhead costs

Milner Frosted Flakes Company offers its customers a pottery cereal bowl if they send in 3 box tops from Milner Frosted Rakes bo

ladessa [460]

Answer:

$87, 500.

Explanation:

1 Pottery cereal bowl = 3 box tops + $1

60% of the box tops will be redeemed. In 2007

Total sales = 675,000 boxes of Frosted Flakes

Estimated to be redeemed = 60% of 675,000 = 405,000 boxes

Already redeemed = 330,000 box tops

Outstanding = Estimated redemption - Already redeemed

Outstanding = 405,000 - 330,000 = 75,000 box tops

1 Pottery cereal bowl = 3 box tops

Outstanding cereal bowl = 75,000/3 = 25,000

Cost of cereal bowl = $2.50

Monetary compensation = $1

Outstanding premiums = 25,000 x ($2.50 + $1)

= 25,000 x $3.5

= $87,500

Nakama Corporation is considering investing in a project that would have a 4 year expected useful life. The company would need t

Fed [463]

Answer:

We have to assume specific tax rate to come up with the income tax expenses. Let assume the tax rate is 30%.

The income tax expense in year 2: $53,400.

Explanation:

We have:

Depreciation expenses of the equipment in the second year = (Initial cost - salvage value) / Useful life = (168,000 - 0)/4 = $42,000.

Profit before tax in year 2 = Sales in year 2 - operating expenses in year 2 - Depreciation expenses in year 2 = 520,000 - 300,000 - 42,000 = $178,000.

Income tax expense in year 2 = Profit before tax in year 2 x tax rate = 178,000 x 30% = $53,400.

So, the answer is $53,400.

Four roommates are planning to spend the weekend in their dorm room watching old movies, and they are debating how many to watch

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

See the five answers below.

Explanation:

The roommates are debating how many movies they should watch.

This is the constraint; given that they have to pay to rent each movie.

PART (A)

Since their dormitory room is the 'cinema', meaning that it's just going to be 4 of them and a private good that they'll pay for; then the showing of a movie is not a public good!

Public goods are those general utilities usually provided by governments, for their citizens; e.g. public defense, clean drinking water, good roads, etcetera.

PART (B)

Given the 'willingness to pay' constraint, we need to find the optimal number of movies they can watch. It costs $8 to rent a movie, no matter how interesting it is or how much satisfaction the viewers derive from it. So the cost of the 1st film = the cost of the 2nd film = the cost of the 3rd film = the cost of the 4th film = the cost of the 5th film.

To get the total amount they're willing to pay for all 5 movies, sum up!

(10+9+6+3) + (9+7+4+2) + (8+5+2+1) + (7+3+0+0) + (6+1+0+0)

KEY: This arrangement should remind you of the law of diminishing marginal utility. The more movies they watch in one sitting or over a weekend, the less satisfaction they derive from the intangible commodity. Hence, the less they are willing to pay for more of the commodity.

So the sum is 28 + 22 + 16 + 10 + 7 = 83

Now to get the number of movies they should rent if they wish to maximize their total spending, divide the total willingness to pay by the cost for a movie:

83/8 = 10.375

Rounding up to the nearest whole number or in reality, that's 10 movies.

PART (C)

Suppose the roommates choose to rent this optimal number of movies - which is higher than the intended number of movies - and then split the cost equally, what will each roommate pay?

Here, we will use the approximated value 10.

10movies x $8 = $80

Splitting the cost equally, divide by 4

$80 ÷ 4 = $20

This figure is just in obedience to the question's requirements which says the bill must be shared equally. In actual fact, some of the four roommates don't have a purchasing power or willingness that is up to $20! That's Felix and Larry.

PART (D)

Complete the given table by inputing each roommate's total willingness to pay for the 5 movies and the surplus each person obtains from watching the movies. Remember to assume that Van is the same person as Raphael.

Also, total cost for 5 movies is 8 x 5 = $40

Dividing this by 4, you have $10 per roommate. So a surplus would be the excess of each roommate's TWTP over $10.

TWTP($) CS($)

VAN 40 30

CARLOS 25 15

FELIX 12 2

LARRY 6 -4

PART (E)

If the cost is divided up based on the benefits (remember how the price for movie was static despite the movie and satisfaction received by each viewer? That's about to change) or satisfaction each roommate receives, the practical problem with this 'solution' is that each roommate has an incentive to reduce the value of the movies to him; and this can only be measured by the efficient number (the number that rates the value each roommate derives from each movie). In this case, the incentive is the window given to each roommate to 'not tell the truth' about their level of satisfaction from watching each movie, because that would mean a higher bill for the individual.

KUDOS!
