The marginal cost curve would intersect the average variable cost curve at about: ____________
a. 2 units of output.
b. 4 units of output.
c. 6 units of output.
d. 7 units of output.
Answer:
b. 4 units of output
Explanation:
MC and AVC have the following relationship:
a. MC is above AVC when AVC is rising
b. MC is below AVC when AVC is falling
c. MC = AVC when AVC is at its minimum
Thus, MC would intersect the AVC curve at its minimum point. Since AVC is minimum at 4 units of output equal to 65. It means MC intersects AVC at 4 units of output.
is trading at 54.33. You decide to short sell 100 shares of their stock, providing 3100 in collateral to your broker. You hold the short position for one year and expect Comcast to pay a dividend of 1 per share. In one year, the stock price is 44. Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, what is your return, relative to your collateral
Answer: 30.1%
Explanation:
Return = (Value of stock when shorted - Dividend - Value of stock when returning stock)/Capital employed
Dividend = 100 shares * $1 per share
= $100
Dividends are subtracted because they are owed to the shareholders the stock was borrowed from.
Value of stock when shorted = 54.33 * 100 = $5,433
Value of stock when returning stock = 44 * 100 = $4,400
= (5,433 - 100 - 4,400) / 3,100
= 30.1%

Are monopolistically competitive firms efficient in long-run equilibrium? Monopolistically competitive firms A. are productively efficient because they produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is equal to marginal revenue. B. are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum marginal cost and they are allocatively efficient because they produce where price is equal to marginal revenue. C. are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum marginal cost and they are allocatively efficient because they produce where marginal cost equals marginal revenue. D. are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is greater than marginal cost. E. are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is less than marginal cost.
Answer:
E)are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is greater than marginal cost.
Explanation:
Monopolistic competition can be regarded as imperfect competition whereby many producers that are competing against each other exist in the market, though they are selling products which can be differentiated from one another. Monopolistically competitive firms do
maximize their profit if their production is at a level where marginal costs as well as its marginal revenues equals. Hence, monopolistically competitive firms are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is greater than marginal cost.
Approximately what is the expected dollar rate of return on euro deposits if today's exchange rate is $1.18 per euro, next year's expected exchange rate is $1.10 per euro, and the euro interest rate is 5%?
Answer:
Dollar rate of return = 15.5%
Explanation:
The expected dollar rate would be the dollar equivalent of the future value of the Euro deposit converted at the exchange rate applicable in a years time .
The following steps would suffice
Step 1: Future value of 1 Euro
Future value of 1 Euro at 5% p.a = 1.05 Euro
Step 2: Dollar equivalent of the Euro future value
The Dollar equivalent of 1.05 Euro = 1.05× 1.10=1.155
Step 3: The Dollar rate of return
Dollar rate of return = Future value of deposit($)/initial deposit - 1
= (1.155/1) - 1 × 100
= 15.5%
Dollar rate of return = 15.5%

Bengal Co. provides the following unit sales forecast for the next three months: July August September Sales units 5,800 6,500 6,360 The company wants to end each month with ending finished goods inventory equal to 30% of the next month's sales. Finished goods inventory on June 30 is 1,740 units. The budgeted production units for July are:
Answer:
Production= 6,010
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
July August
Sales units 5,800 6,500
Finished goods inventory on June 30 is 1,740 units.
To calculate the production for July, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 5,800 + (6,500*0.3) - 1,740
Production= 6,010

"Which of the following is true? Airfreight A. has lower transporting rates than trucks. B. efficiently delivers all types of goods. C. serves many more locations than trucks. D. is best for goods that are heavy relative to their sales value, such as iron ore. E. can help reduce inventory costs."
Answer:
E. can help reduce inventory costs.
Explanation:
Airfreight can be defined as the transportation or movement of goods from one location to another through the air and use of shipping containers.
A shipping container refers to a metal container made from steel and having the ability or strength to withstand all external factors during shipment or storage of materials. It is an essential part of transportation of goods or materials from one location to another, thereby boosting trade between countries.
The various types of shipping containers are, dry storage container, open-side storage container, ISO Reefer container, flat rack container, tunnel container, open top container, double doors container, thermal containers, intermodal freight container etc.
An inventory cost can be defined as all costs such as carrying cost, stock out (shortage) cost and ordering cost that are associated with the procurement, holding (storage) and management (handling) of inventory.
Generally, airfreight can help to reduce the total logistics cost or inventory cost since it's faster, large and devoid of various impediments when compared with other forms of transportation.
Hence, the true statement about airfreight is that it can help reduce inventory costs.
LUVFINANCE, Inc. is estimating its WACC. It is operating at its optimal capital structure. Its outstanding bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 17 years, and sell for $1,162. It has 100,000 bonds outstanding. The firm can issue new 20-year maturity semiannual bonds at the same cost of its current bonds but will incur flotation costs of $50 per bond (Hint: the coupon rate on the new bonds = the YTM on existing bonds). The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock that pays a 12 percent annual dividend that is currently selling for $120. The firm currently has 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding. Rollins' beta is 0.94, the risk-free rate is 3.72 percent, and the market risk premium is 6 percent. The common stock currently sells for $100 a share and there are 5,000,000 shares outstanding. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent.
Required:
What is the WACC?
Answer:
9.72%
Explanation:
Maturity = 34
Par-value = -1000
Coupon rate = 6%
Coupon PMT = -60
Value of bond = 1152
Semi-annual Yield = Rate(34, -60, 1162, -1000, 0, 0)
Semi-annual Yield = 5.00%
Annual Yield = 10%
Tax rate = 40%
After tax cost of debt = 10*(1-0.4)= 6%: Add: Flotation cost (5%) = 11%
Cost of preferred stock = Dividend/Price = 12/120 = 10%
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta*Market risk premium
Cost of equity = 3.72 + 0.94*6
Cost of equity = 9.36%

It costs Bonita Industries $12 of variable and $5 of fixed costs to produce one bathroom scale which normally sells for $35. A foreign wholesaler offers to purchase 3100 scales at $15 each. Garner would incur special shipping costs of $1 per scale if the order were accepted. Bonita has sufficient unused capacity to produce the 3100 scales. If the special order is accepted, what will be the effect on net income?
a. $46500 increase.
b. $6200 increase.
c. $6200 decrease.
d. $9300 decrease.
Answer:
Effect on income= $6,200 increase
Explanation:
Because it is a special offer, and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs:
Total unitary variable cost= 12 + 1= $13
Selling price per unit= $15
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= number of units*unitary contribution margin
Effect on income= 3,100*(15 - 13)
Effect on income= $6,200 increase
For each of the following situations, state whether total revenue received by the seller increases, decreases, or does not change.
a. If price elasticity of demand is -1.00 and price increases, total revenue.
b. If price elasticity of demand is -0.02 and price increases, total revenue
c. If price elasticity of demand is 5.00 and price increases, total revenue
d. If price elasticity of demand is-0.131 and price decreases, total revenue
e. If price elasticity of demand is -3.33 and price decreases, total revenue
Answer:
doesn't change
increases
decreases
decreases
increase
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
a. Demand is unit elastic and if price increases, quantity demanded would change by the same amount and total revenue would remain the same
b. Demand is inelastic. If prices increases, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded and revenue would increase
c. Demand is elastic. Increase in price would lead to a reduction in quantity demanded and total revenue would fall
Demand is inelastic, if prices are decreased, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded and revenue would fall
Demand is elastic. A decrease in price would increase the quantity demanded and total revenue would rise

Explanation:
Graymont Industries purchases Solvate, a chemical compound used in several of its products, from ChemMaster. ChemMaster has just increased the list price of Solvate to $6.10 per gallon. However, because Graymont purchases a high volume of Solvate, ChemMaster grants the company a 14 percent discount off the list price. Charges for shipping Solvate from ChemMaster to Graymont's factory are $130 for a shipment of twenty-five 49-gallon drums. Special storage requirements cost $0.59 per gallon.
Calculate Graymont's standard price for a gallon of Solvate. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 3.51)
Answer:
the standard price for a gallon of Solvate is $5,942 per gallon
Explanation:
The computation of the standard price for a gallon of Solvate is shown below:
List Price $6.1 per gallon
Less: Discount at 14% 0.854 per gallon
Charges (130 ÷ (25 × 49) 0.106 per gallon
Special Storage $0.59 per gallon
Total Cost $5.942 per gallon
Hence, the standard price for a gallon of Solvate is $5,942 per gallon
Burning one gallon of gasoline in a car releases approximately 20 pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere. One average person drives 60,000 miles in a car that average 30 miles per gallon (mpg), while another person drives 60,000 miles in a car that averages 20 mpg. Over the course of the 60,000 miles, how many fewer punds of CO2 are released by the 30 mpg car than by the 20 mpg car?
Answer: 20,000 pounds of CO₂
Explanation:
30 mpg car.
Number of gallons of gasoline used:
= 60,000 / 30
= 2,000 gallons
CO₂ released = 2,000 * 20
= 40,000 pounds
20 mpg car
Number of gallons used:
= 60,000 / 20
= 3,000 gallons
CO₂ released = 3,000 * 20
= 60,000 pounds
Difference:
= 60,000 - 40,000
= 20,000 pounds of CO₂
The number of fewer pounds should be 20,000 pounds of CO₂
The calculation is as follows:The Number of gallons of gasoline used:
= 60,000 ÷ 30
= 2,000 gallons
and,
CO₂ released = 2,000 × 20
= 40,000 pounds
Now
Number of gallons used:
= 60,000 ÷ 20
= 3,000 gallons
And,
CO₂ released = 3,000 × 20
= 60,000 pounds
So, the Difference is
= 60,000 - 40,000
= 20,000 pounds of CO₂
