The goal of any monopolist is to maximize:
economic profits.
normal profits.
price.
consumer welfare.
output.
Answer:
economic profits.
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes.
Also, a monopolist refers to any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market.
Generally, the goal of any monopolist is to maximize economic profits.
Basically, a monopolist earns an economic profit when the average total cost (AVC) of his goods and services is less than price.
Unlike a business firm operating in a perfectly competitive market, a monopolist can continue to earn economic profits in the long-run because there exist an extremely high level of barriers to entry for new business firms.
If the price elasticity of supply is 0.5 and the quantity supplied decreases by 6%, then the price must have decreased by 3%. a. True b. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
The price elasticity of supply measures the change in quantity supplied when the price changes.
The basic trend is that when price increases, quantity supplied increases as well. The reverse is true.
Price elasticity of supply = %Change in quantity supplied / % change in price
0.5 = -6% / Change in price
0.5 * Change in price = -6%
Change in price = -6% / 0.5
= -12%
The statement above is therefore false because price should have reduced by 12% for quantity supplied to reduce by 6%

Suppose that the MPC is 0.8 and that $18 trillion of real GDP is currently being demanded. The government wants to increase real GDP demanded to $19 trillion at the same price level. By how much would it have to increase government purchases to achieve this goal (use the simple spending multiplier)?
Answer: $200 billion
Explanation:
First find the government spending multiplier:
Multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC)
= 1 / (1 - 0.8)
= 5
The government wants to increase the real GDP to $19 trillion from $18 trillion which means that they want to increase it by $1 trillion.
In order to increase it by $1 trillion, the amount the government needs to spend is:
Increase in real GDP = Multiplier * Government spending
1 trillion = 5 * Government spending
Government spending = 1 trillion / 5
= $200 billion
Project A requires a $ 385,000 initial investment for new machinery with a five year life and a salvage value of . The company uses straight - line depreciation . Project A is expected to yield annual net income of $ 23,100 per year for the next five years.
Required:
Compute Project A's payback period.
Answer:
4.2 years
Explanation:
Here is the complete question
Project A requires a $ 385,000 initial investment for new machinery with a five year life and a salvage value of $44,000. The company uses straight - line depreciation . Project A is expected to yield annual net income of $ 23,100 per year for the next five years.
Required:
Compute Project A's payback period.
Payback = amount invested / cash flow
cash flow = net income + depreciation
depreciation = (cost of asset - salvage value) / useful life
(385,000 - 44,000) / 5 = 68,200
Cash flow = 68,200 + $ 23,100 = 91300
$ 385,000 / 91300 =4.2
Question
In 2 hours, China can produce 6 bottles of milk. In 5 hours, it can produce 15 batches of pumpkins. What is the country's
opportunity cost of producing 1 bottle of milk (in terms of batches of pumpkins)?
your answer below:
Answer:
China's opportunity cost of producing 1 bottle of milk is equal to one batch of pumpkins.
Explanation:
Given that in 2 hours, China can produce 6 bottles of milk, and in 5 hours, it can produce 15 batches of pumpkins, to determine what is the country's opportunity cost of producing 1 bottle of milk (in terms of batches of pumpkins), the following calculation must be performed:
Milk = 6/2 = 3 per hour
Batches of pumpkins = 15/5 = 3 per hour
3/3 = 1
Therefore, China's opportunity cost of producing 1 bottle of milk is equal to 1 batch of pumpkins.

Iron Company collects cash in full from a customer who purchased merchandise last month on credit. To record the receipt of cash, Iron Company should make the following entries in the general journal. (Check all that apply.) Multiple select question. Credit to Accounts Receivable Debit to Accounts Receivable Debit to Sales Credit to Cash Debit to Cash
Answer:
Credit to Accounts Receivable Debit to CashExplanation:
Accounts Receivable is an asset account that represents the cash owed to the company by customers who bought goods or services on credit.
When the credit is paid, the accounts receivable account will reduce and so will be credited because assets are credited when they reduce.
Cash on the other hand will be debited to show that it has increased as assets are debited when they increase.
Activity A is worth $100, is complete, and actually cost $150. Activity B is worth $500, is 75% complete, and has actually cost $400 so far. Activity C is worth $500, is 25% complete, and has actually cost $200 so far. What is the estimated cost at completion for this project, assuming current variances are typical of future variances?
Answer:
$1,375
Explanation:
Budget at completion = Worth of activity A + Worth of activity B + Worth of activity C
Budget at completion = $100 + $500 + $500
Budget at completion = $1,100
Earned value = Worth of activity A*% completed + Worth of activity B*% completed + Worth of activity C*% completed
Earned value = $100*100% + $500*75% + $500*25%
Earned value = $100 + $375 + $125
Earned value = $600
Actual cost = Actual cost of Activity A + Actual cost of Activity B + Actual cost of Activity C
Actual cost = $150 + $400 + $200
Actual cost = $750
Cost performance Index = Earned value / Actual cost
Cost performance Index = $600 / $750
Cost performance Index = 0.80
Cost performance Index = 80%
Estimate at completion = Budget at completion / Cost performance Index
Estimate at completion = $1,100 / 0.80
Estimate at completion = $1,375

Time interest earned ratio = 7 times
One key characteristic that is distinctive of an oligopoly market is that Group of answer choices the demand curve facing each firm is downward sloping, with a marginal revenue curve that lies below the firm's demand curve. the decisions of one seller often influence the price of products, the output, and the profits of rival firms. there is only one firm that produces a product for which there are no good substitutes. there are many sellers in the market and each is small relative to the total market.
Answer:
The decisions of one seller often influence the price of products, the output, and the profits of rival firms.
Explanation:
An oligopoly is a market structure where there are only a few sellers. Therefore, around two or more firms have control over the market. Collectively, they can influence the prices and supply.
This ultimately results in high-level competition between these sellers. Since there are a few sellers in the oligopoly structure, each of these company's profit levels not only depends on the decisions made by them but also on the decisions made by their rival firms.
Hence, option no. 3 "the decisions of one seller often influence the price of products, the output, and the profits of rival firms" is correct.
You have just made your first $5,600 contribution to your retirement account. Assume you earn a return of 11 percent per year and make no additional contributions. a. What will your account be worth when you retire in 39 years

TeleGlobal is an American firm producing TV sets. TeleGlobal imports TV set components from India and assembles them domestically. Suppose that in the United States, a TV set sells for $400 and that 80% of the TV set’s value comes from the value of the imported components. The United States imposes a 40% tariff on TV sets and a 10% tariff on the TV set’s components. Assume that costs of producing components are the same in the United States and India and that transit costs are nonexistent. Based on the information provided, the effective rate of protection that TeleGlobal receives from the tariff is
Answer:
135 %
Explanation:
Given that,
The selling price of T.V. set in the U.S. = $400
The Tariff imposed on T.V. sets = 30%
The Tariff on its imported components = 10%
To find,
The effective rate of protection gained from tariff = ?
Method:
As we know
Effective rate of protection
= tariff on finished imported good + cost/price of its components * (tariff on imported good - tariff on components imported)/(price of final good - price of its components)
So, by putting the given values in above formulae;
= 40% + 80% of 400 * (40% - 10 %)/(400 - 80% of 400)
= 40 + 320 * (30)/(400 - 320)
= 360 * 30/(80)
= 360 * 30/80
= 135%

Answer:
numerous cost pools and numerous cost drivers.
Explanation:
Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.
In Financial accounting, a direct cost can be defined as any expense which can easily be connected to a specific cost object such as a department, project or product. Some examples of direct costs are cost of raw materials, machineries or equipments.
On the other hand, any cost associated with the running, operations and maintenance of a company refers to indirect costs. Some examples of indirect costs are utility bill, office accessories, diesel etc.
An activity-based costing (ABC) can be defined as a method of costing that identifies the numerous activities in a business firm and assigns the cost of each activity to their respective drivers based on their consumptions.
Activity-based costing (ABC) uses numerous cost pools and numerous cost drivers.
Generally, an activity-based costing uses multiple cost pools such as manufacturing cost or customer services and multiple cost drivers such as direct labor hours worked, number of changes used in engineering department, etc.
Cost pool is simply the amount of money spent by a firm on a particular activity.
In activity-based costing, the activity rate for an activity cost pool is calculated by using the following formula;
Activity rate = total overhead cost/activity for the activity cost pool.
ABC Company has two products: A and B. The company uses activity-based costing. The estimated total cost and expected activity for each of the company's three activity cost pools are as follows:
Expected activity cost
Activity Estimated cost Product A Product B Total
Activity1 $22,000 400 100 500
Activity2 $16,240 380 200 580
Activity3 $14,600 500 250 750

A physical count of merchandise inventory on July 30 reveals that there are 170 units on hand. Using the FIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to ending inventory for July is
Answer: $3,502
Explanation:
When using FIFO, It means that the earliest goods were sold first which means that the later goods would be the ones in the ending inventory.
The 170 units on hand would therefore include:
The 51 units which cost $22(170 - 51) units which cost $20Ending inventory = (22 * 51) + ((170 - 51) * 20)
= 1,122 + (119 * 20)
= 1,122 + 2,380
= $3,502
Chance, Inc. sold 4,300 units of its product at a price of $137 per unit. Total variable cost per unit is $103, consisting of $71 in variable production cost and $32 in variable selling and administrative cost. Compute the manufacturing margin for the company under variable costing.a. $346,500 b. $499,500 c. $315,000 d. $661,500 e. $337,500
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Unit product cost= direct material + direct labor + variable overhead
Unit product cost= $71
Now, the total sales and total variable cost:
Total sales= 4,300*137= $589,100
Total variable cost= 4,300*71= $305,300
Finally, the variable costing margin:
Variable costing margin= total sales - total variable cost
Variable costing margin= 589,100 - 305,300
Variable costing margin= $283,800
