American Chemical Company manufactures a chemical compound that is sold for $56 per gallon. A new variant of the chemical has been discovered, and if the basic compound were processed into the new variant, the selling price would be $80 per gallon. American expects the market for the new compound variant to be 8,700 gallons initially and determines that processing costs to refine the basic compound into the new variant would be $139,200.
Required:
a. What would be the effect on total profit if American produces the new compound variant?
b. Should American produce the new compound variant?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Further processing gives additional net income of $69,600

It is highly recommended that American Chemical Company should produce the new compound variant

Explanation:

The below incremental income analysis would help us decide whether producing the new variant is worthwhile.

Sales price of the new variant                           $80

less:sales price of chemical compound            ($56)

incremental sales price                                      $24

Total incremental revenue($24*8700)             $ 208,800

less:incremental processing costs                   ($139,200)

incremental net income                                     $ 69,600

By processing the old chemical to give the new compound variant American Chemical Company would record increase in net income of $ 69,600,hence it would be unwise if the company refuse to produce the new compound variant

The articles of partnership stipulate that profits and losses be assigned in the following manner: ∙ Each partner is allocated interest equal to 5 percent of the beginning capital balance. ∙ Bernard is allocated compensation of $18,000 per year. ∙ Any remaining profits and losses are allocated on a 3:3:4 basis, respectively. ∙ Each partner is allowed to withdraw up to $5,000 cash per year. Assuming that the net income is $60,000 and that each partner withdraws the maximum amount allowed, what is the balance in Collins capital account at the end of that year?

Answers

Answer:

$80,700

Explanation:

A partnership begins its first year with the following capital balances:

Alfred, Capital $50,000 Bernard, Capital $60,000 Collins, Capital $70,000

the partnership's net profits should be allocated the following way (drawings made by the partners should decrease their basis, but since the company made a profit they can be included in this distribution)

net income $60,000

partners' drawings plus salaries:

Alfred ⇒ $5,000 Bernard ⇒ $18,000 + $5,000 = $23,000Collins ⇒ $5,000

interests owed to partners:

Alfred ⇒ $50,000 x 5% = $2,500Bernard ⇒ $60,000 x 5% =  $3,000Collins ⇒ $70,000 x 5% =  $3,500

the remaining $18,000 should be distributed:

Alfred ⇒ $18,000 x 30% = $5,400Bernard ⇒ $18,000 + 30% = $5,400Collins ⇒ $18,000 x 40% = $7,200

Collins's basis should increase by $3,500 + $7,200 = $10,700, ending balance = $70,000 + $10,700 = $80,700

Runaround Corporation sells running shoes and during January they ran production machines for 29 comma 000 hours total and incurred $ 10 comma 500 in maintenance costs. During July they ran production machines for 15 comma 000 hours total and incurred $ 8 comma 600 in maintenance costs. Based on this​ data, what will total maintenance costs be if the machines are run for 18 comma 500 ​hours? (Round intermediary calculations to the nearest​ cent.)

Answers

Answer:

$9,075

Explanation:

As we know that:

Variable cost per hour = Cost Difference / Units Difference

Variable cost per hour = ($10,500- $8,600) / (29,000 - 15,000)

= $00.1357142857142857 per hour

Which means:

Fixed Cost = $10,500 - (29,000 * $0.0.1357142857142857 per hour)

= $6,564

The total variable cost for 18,500 hours is calculated as under:

Total Variable Cost = 18,500 Unit * $0.1357142857142857 per hour

= $2,511

Total Maintenance Costs = $6,564 + $2,511 = $9,075

Your colleague started to calculate the weighted average cost of capital for your company, but suddenly became ill and had to go home. The Vice President of Finance gives you the following information and asks you to complete the calculation of the weighted average cost of capital. The market values and after-tax costs are as follows: Debt, $42,000,000 and 7.65%; Preferred stock, $6,300,000 and 5.00%; Common stock, $50,000,000 and 17.80%. Your company's weighted average cost of capital is:

Answers

Answer:

12.64%

Explanation:

WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs. weightage can be calculated by using the market value of the equity and debt.

The formula for WACC is

Weighted average cost of capital = ( Cost of Common Stock x Weightage of equity ) + ( Cost of debt x Weightage of debt ) + ( Cost of Preferred stock x Weightage of Preferred stock )

As per given data

Debt,                   $42,000,000         7.65%

Preferred stock, $6,300,000            5.00%

Common stock,  $50,000,000         17.80%

Total                    $98,300,000

Placing Value in the formula

Weighted average cost of capital = ( 17.80% x $50,000,000 / $98,300,000 ) + ( 7.65% x $42,000,000 / $98,300,000 ) + ( 5.00% x $6,300,000 / $98,300,000 )

Weighted average cost of capital = 9.05% + 3.27% + 0.32 = 12.64%

Using the cut-and-try method for aggregate operations planning, we can calculate the ending inventory and then calculate the safety stock as a percent of forecast demand. Suppose that the beginning inventory is 300, the production requirement in units of product is 1,350, demand forecast is 1,500, what is the ending inventory and percent safety stock?

Answers

Answer: a) Ending inventory is 150 units

b) Percent Safety Stock is 10%

Explanation:

a) The Ending Inventory can as well be calculated using the following,

Ending inventory = Production Requirement + Beginning Inventory - Demand forecast

Plugging in the figures gives us,

= 1350+300-1500

= 150 units

Ending Inventory is 150 units.

b) To calculate the percent safety stock, the following formula can be used,

Safety stock % = Production Requirement - Demand forecast + Beginning Inventory

Safety stock should be a percentage of Demand as the question says. Denoting it as 's' we have,

1500*(s/100) = 1350-1500+300

15s = 150

s = 10%

The percent safety stock is therefore 10%.

Final answer:

The ending inventory is 150 units and the percent safety stock is 10% of the forecast demand.

Explanation:

The cut-and-try method for aggregate operations planning is an iterative approach to balance demand with production capacity by adjusting production rates, workforce levels, and inventory holdings. When solving for the ending inventory, we begin with the beginning inventory, add the production requirement, and subtract the forecasted demand. In the given scenario, the beginning inventory is 300 units, the production requirement is 1,350 units, and the forecast demand is 1,500 units.

The calculation for the ending inventory would be:

Beginning Inventory + Production Requirement - Forecast Demand = Ending Inventory
300 + 1,350 - 1,500 = 150 units

To calculate the percent safety stock, you would take the ending inventory as a percentage of the forecast demand. This calculation would be:

(Ending Inventory / Forecast Demand) x 100 = Percent Safety Stock
(150 / 1,500) x 100 = 10%

Therefore, the ending inventory is 150 units, and the safety stock is 10% of the forecast demand.

Calla Company produces skateboards that sell for $69 per unit. The company currently has the capacity to produce 95,000 skateboards per year, but is selling 80,100 skateboards per year. Annual costs for 80,100 skateboards follow. Direct materials $ 937,170 Direct labor 680,850 Overhead 959,000 Selling expenses 549,000 Administrative expenses 475,000 Total costs and expenses $ 3,601,020 A new retail store has offered to buy 14,900 of its skateboards for $64 per unit. The store is in a different market from Calla's regular customers and would not affect regular sales. A study of its costs in anticipation of this additional business reveals the following: Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. 40 percent of overhead is fixed at any production level from 80,100 units to 95,000 units; the remaining 60% of annual overhead costs are variable with respect to volume. Selling expenses are 60% variable with respect to number of units sold, and the other 40% of selling expenses are fixed. There will be an additional $2.90 per unit selling expense for this order. Administrative expenses would increase by a $810 fixed amount. Required: 1. Prepare a three-column comparative income statement that reports the following: a. Annual income without the special order. b. Annual income from the special order. c. Combined annual income from normal business and the new business. 2. Should Calla accept this order?

Answers

Answer:

I do not have the necessary space to prepare the three column analysis, but the answers to the questions are:

since the special order does not affect current normal sales, its analysis should only consider relevant expenses, not regular expenses:

A) Income statement without the special order

total revenue = $69 x 80,100 = $5,526,900

- COGS                                     = ($2,577,020)

net income                               = $1,925,880

B) relevant revenue from special order = 14,900 x $64 = $953,600

- relevant costs:

direct materials = ($937,170 / 80,100 units) x 14,900 = $174,330direct labor = ($680,850 / 80,100 units) x 14,900 = $126,650overhead = ($575,400 / 80,100 units) x 14,900 = $107,034selling expenses = [($329,400 / 80,100 units) x 14,900] + ($2.90 x 14,900) = $74,952 + $48,330 = $104,484administrative expenses = $810total relevant costs = $513,308

1. Comparative Income Statement:

This is attached.

a) Sales:

i) Normal = $69 * 80,100 = $5,526,900

ii) Special order = $64 * 14,900 = $953,600

iii) Combined = $6,480,500

b) Direct Materials Cost:

i) Normal = $937,170

ii) Special order = $174,330 ($937170/80,100 x 14,900)

iii) Combined = $1,111,500

c) Direct Labour Cost:

i) Normal = $680,850

ii) Special = $126,650  ($680,850/80,100 x 14,900)

iii) Combined = $807,500

d) Overhead Costs:

i) Normal - $959,000

ii) Special = $107,034 ((60% of $959,000)/80,100 x 14,900)

iii) Combined = $1,066,034

e) Selling Expenses:

i) Normal = $549,000

ii) Special = $61,274  (60% of $549,000)/80,100 x 14,900)

iii) Combined = $610,274

f) Administrative:

i) Normal = $475,000

ii) Special = $810

iii) Combined = $475,810

2. Advise:

Calla should accept this order.  Income would increase by more than $400,000.

Explanation:

This is "an accept or reject" special order type of decision.  To compute costs, only relevant costs, which will vary with the special order, are considered.   Sunk costs, which do not make a difference, are not taken into account in arriving at the income for the special order.

This analysis is also called Incremental Analysis or Differential Analysis.  It helps management to make a decision of whether to accept the special order or not.  It is an important technique in managerial accounting.

Lead time is normally distributed averaging 7 days with a standard deviation of 4 days. The company hopes to keep the desired service level is 90 percent. What amount of safety stock is appropriate if a fixed order size of 600 gallons is used?

Answers

Answer:

Safety Stock = 153.94 [tex]\approx[/tex] 154 gallons

Solution:

Average Demand =[tex]D_{avg} = 30 gallons/day[/tex]

Standard deviation of demand = [tex]\sigma_{d} = 3 gallons[/tex]

Average Lead Time = [tex]LT_{avg} = 7 days[/tex]

Standard deviation of Lead Time= [tex]\sigma_{LT} = 4 days[/tex]

Service Level = 90%

For Service Level 90%, Z-Score = 1.28

Z-score is called Service Factor

Calculation of Safety Stock:

Consider the assembly line of a laptop computer. The line consists of 12 stations and operates at a cycle time of 1.50 minutes/unit. Their most error-prone operation is step 1. There is no inventory between the stations, because this is a machine-paced line. Final inspection happens at station 12. What would be the information turnaround time for a defect made at station 1

Answers

Answer :

Information turnaround time = 16.50 minutes

Explanation :

As per the data given in the question,

Cycle time of whole line = 1.50 minutes/unit

which means 1 unit is made in 1.50 minutes. In the line of 12 stations 1st step is the most error prone.

Error made at step 1 means that unit must be processed by 11 other stations in order to be made and inspected at 12th station.

The information turnaround time = cycle time × number of stations after error is made

=1.50 × 11

= 16.50 minutes

The information turnaround time for a defect made at station 1 on an assembly line with a cycle time of 1.50 minutes/unit and final inspection at station 12 would be 16.5 minutes.

The information turnaround time for a defect made at station 1 on an assembly line producing laptop computers with the cycle time of 1.50 minutes/unit would be the time taken for the product to reach the final inspection stage at station 12. Since it's stated that this is a machine-paced line with no inventory between stations, we can calculate the turnaround time by multiplying the cycle time with the number of stations up to the inspection point. With 12 stations, including the station where the defect occurs and the final inspection station, the calculation would be:

Turnaround time = Cycle time x (Number of stations from the defective station to the inspection station)Turnaround time = 1.50 minutes/unit x (12 - 1)Turnaround time = 1.50 minutes/unit x 11Turnaround time = 16.5 minutes

Therefore, the information turnaround time for a defect produced at station 1 and detected at station 12 would be 16.5 minutes.

1) You are indecisive about which stock to buy Microsoft, which is selling for $173 a share; or Apple, which is selling for $285 a share. Microsoft stock promises to pay annual dividends of $4.00, $5.00, and $5.50 over the next three years respectively, and you estimate it can be sold for $190 at the end of the third year. You expect Apple to pay a dividend of $5.50 the first year, $8.50, and $10.50 over the next two years, respectively. You also expect Apple’s stock to be trading at $330 in three years. Which stock would you buy if stocks from computer manufacturers typically yield 10%?

Answers

Answer:

I would buy the APPLE stock

Explanation:

Microsoft stock price = $173  

dividends earned = $4, $5 and $5.5

value after 3 years = $190

Apple stock price = $285

Dividends earned = $5.5, $8.5 and $10.5

value after 3 years = $330

Applying the dividend discount model

IVO = present value of dividend + present value of terminal price

for Microsoft

IVO = ( 4/1.1 + (5/(1.1/2)) + ( 5.5/(1.1/3)) + ( 190/(1.1/3))

      = $154.65  

for Apple

IVO = ( 5.5/1.1 + ( 8.5/( 1.1/2)) + (10.5/(1.1/3)) + ( 330/(1.1/3))

       = $267.8

Note: the IVO's are less than the current price of the stocks ( IVO = the intrinsic value of the shares ) but Microsoft shares are overpriced compared to apple

Answer:

If decided to purchase, Apple will yield better

Explanation:

we solve for the present value of the future cashflow discounted at 10%

we will then compare against the current market price and pick with the better NPV

Microsoft:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}#&Cashflow&Discounted\\1&4&3.64\\2&5&4.13\\3&195.5&146.88\\TOTAL&&154.65\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

154.65 - 173 = -18.36

Apple:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}#&$Cashflow&$Discounted\\1&5.5&5\\2&8.5&7.02\\3&340.5&255.82\\&TOTAL&267.84\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

267.84 - 285 = -17.16

Now, as both are negative we must decide if we accep to receive less than 10% in which case, we will purchase stock as their net present alue is higher than microsoft.

Standard production time is 1 hour per unit, and the allowance for rest periods and setup is .2 hours and .1 hours, respectively. The standard direct labor rate per hour is:

Answers

Answer:

$12

Explanation:

The standard direct labor rate is the budgeted direct labor cost per hour incurred in the manufacturing process. It is used to calculate the budgeted production costs:

the current hourly wage is $9.00 and we must add the payroll taxes per hour ($1.00) and the fringe benefits per hour ($2.00) = $9 + $1 + $2 = $12

Even though a pay raise will occur soon, until it does actually happen, it cannot be considered in the calculation of the standard labor rate.

Oriole Sportswear manufactures a line of specialty T-shirts using a job order costing system. In March the company incurred the following costs to complete Job ICU2: direct materials, $14,000, and direct labor, $4,400. The company also incurred $1,580 of administrative costs and $5,400 of selling costs to complete this job. Job ICU2 required 800 machine hours. Factory overhead was applied to the job at a rate of $25 per machine hour. If Job ICU2 resulted in 6,000 good shirts, what was the cost of goods sold per shirt

Answers

Answer:

6.4

Explanation:

The computation of cost of goods sold per shirt is shown below:-

For computing the cost of goods sold per shirt first we need to find out the factory overhead applied and total production cost which is here below:-

Factory overhead applied = 800 × $25

= $20,000

Total Production cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Factory overhead applied

= $14,000 + $4,400 + $20,000

= $38,400

Per Unit Cost of Goods Sold = Total Production cost ÷ Number of Units Per JOB ICU 2

= $38,400 ÷ 6,000

= 6.4

Fifteen years ago, you deposited $12,500 into an investment fund. Five years ago, you added an additional $20,000 to that account. You earned 8%, compounded semi-annually, for the first ten years, and 6.5%, compounded annually, for the last five years.
Required:
a)
What is the effective annual interest rate (EAR) you would get for your investment in the first 10
years?
b)
How much money do you have in your account today?
c)
If you wish to have $85000 now, how much should you have invested 15 years ago?

Answers

Answer:

Part A: 8.16%

Part B: $56,577.5

Part C: $39,700

Explanation:

Part A:

EAR = (1 + r / n )^ n      -  1

Here

r is the nominal interest rate, which is 8%

n is the number of compounding periods in a year and here, for semiannual requirement it is 2.

So by putting values in the above equation, we have:

EAR = (1 + 8% /2) ^2   - 1

= 8.16 %

Part B:

Amount invested is $12500 which must be compounded for 10 years semi annually at the EAR. This means

The future value = Initial Investment + Interest Income for 10 year

Future Value after 10 years = $12500 + ( $12500 *  8.160%*10 years)

= $22,700

Similarly,

Amount invested for next 5 years is $42,700 ($22,700 and the additional $20,000 which was added to the account). This amount must be compounded for next 5 years at 6.5%. This means

Value Today = Initial Investment + Interest Income for 5 year

The Future Value = $42,700 + (42,700 * 6.5% * 5 years) = $56,577.5

Part C:

Let the initial amount that was deposited be "x".

As per the guidelines given in the question, for first 10 years the interest is EAR which is 8.16%.

Interest Earned = (x * 8.16% * 10 Years) = 0.816x

The same initial investment "x" would be investment for the next 5 years at 6.5% rate.

For next 5 years:

Interest Earned = (x * 6.5% * 5) = 0.325x

Future value of the investment at the end of the year 15 = $85,000

0.816x + 0.325x + x = $85,000

2.141x = $85,000

x = $85,000 / 2.141 = $39,700

Mayfield Company sells two products, Blue models and Plaid models. Blue models sell for $45 per unit with variable costs of $30 per unit. Plaid models sell for $50 per unit with variable costs of $25 per unit. Total fixed costs for the company are $19,950. Mayfield Company typically sells two Blue models for every three Plaid models. Required: What is the breakeven point in total units

Answers

Answer:

Break even point in total units is 950 units

Explanation:

The break even point in total units is the composite break even point considering both the products. This will give us one overall break even point for the company. The break even point in units is the number of units that must be sold in order for the total revenue to be equal to total costs.

To calculate the over all break even in units, we need to divide the fixed costs by the weighted average contribution per unit.

Weighted average contribution per unit = weight of product A in sales mix * contribution of product A  +  weight of product B in sales mix * contribution of product B

Sales mix = 2 + 3  = 5

Blue = 2 / 5 = 0.4

Plaid = 3 / 5 = 0.6

Weighted average contribution per unit = 2/5 * (45 - 30)  +  3/5 * (50 - 25)

Weighted average contribution per unit = $21 per unit

Break even point in units = 19950  /  21    = 950 units

Corporations often distribute profits to their shareholders in the form of dividends, which are simply checks mailed out to shareholders. Suppose that you have the chance to buy a share in a fashion company called Rogue Designs for $35 and that the company will pay dividends of $2 per year on that share every year. What is the annual percentage rate of return?

Answers

Answer:

5.71%

Explanation:

Corporations annual percentage rate of return

Dividends of $2 per year ÷ Designs for $35

=0.0571

=0.0571×100

=5.71%

Therefore a yearly dividend of $2 on a $35 share of stock equals a 5.71% annual rate of return

Final answer:

The annual percentage rate of return for the $35 share in Rogue Designs, which pays a $2 dividend per year, is approximately 5.71%.

Explanation:

In this scenario, we're asked to determine the annual percentage rate of return for an investment in a share of a company called Rogue Designs. This concept is a term from financial mathematics that refers to the annual percent change in an investment's value. The formula to calculate the annual return rate is: Annual Return Rate = (Annual dividend / Price of share) x 100%.

In the case you presented, Rogue Designs' share costs $35 and it pays a $2 dividend per year. Substituting these given values into the formula, we find the annual return rate equals: (2 / 35) x 100%. So, the annual return rate is approximately 5.71%.

Day Corporation, an S corporation, reported a $73,000 ordinary loss for Year 1 (a non-leap year). Day uses the calendar year as its taxable year, as do all of its shareholders. Individual B owns 25% of the Day stock at all times during Year 1. B’s basis in his Day Corporation stock at the beginning of Year 1 was $10,000. B materially participates in Day’s business. At the end of Year 1, Day is liable for the following:

Third-party creditors $15,000
Individual B 3,000
Other shareholders 9,000

What amount of Day’s losses may be deducted by B in Year 1, and what amount of Day’s losses can be carried over by B to Year 2?

Answers

Final answer:

Individual B can deduct a total of $13,000 in losses from Day Corporation in Year 1. The remaining $5,250 of B's loss share can be carried over to Year 2.

Explanation:

Individual B's deductible losses from Day Corporation are limited to the amount of B's basis in the stock and the amount of B’s at-risk amount.

At the beginning of Year 1, B’s basis was $10,000. In calculating the at-risk amount, we add to this basis any amount Day Corporation owes to B, which is $3,000, for a total of $13,000.

However, the ordinary loss reported by Day Corporation amounted to $73,000, and B's share of the loss, given that B owns 25% of the Day's stock, would be 25% of $73,000 = $18,250. Since $18,250 exceeds B's basis + at-risk amount of $13,000, B can only deduct up to $13,000 of these losses in Year 1.

The remainder, i.e., $18,250 - $13,000 = $5,250, can be carried over by B to Year 2 to be deducted from his income generated by Day Corporation in that year, provided he has sufficient basis and at-risk amount in Year 2.

Round all answers to two decimal places. If an answer is zero, enter '0'.

Answers

Final answer:

The dividends per share for the preferred and common stock for each year are as follows: Preferred stock: 20Y1 - $4.50, 20Y2 - $1.50, 20Y3 - $9.00. Common stock: 20Y1 - $1.35, 20Y2 - $0.45, 20Y3 - $2.70.

Explanation:

To determine the dividends per share for the preferred and common stock for each year, we first need to calculate the total dividends distributed for each year. The formula to calculate the dividends per share is: Dividends per share = Dividends distributed / Total number of shares.

For the preferred stock:

20Y1: Dividends per share = $67,500 / 15,000 = $4.5020Y2: Dividends per share = $22,500 / 15,000 = $1.5020Y3: Dividends per share = $135,000 / 15,000 = $9.00

For the common stock:

20Y1: Dividends per share = $67,500 / 50,000 = $1.3520Y2: Dividends per share = $22,500 / 50,000 = $0.4520Y3: Dividends per share = $135,000 / 50,000 = $2.70

The dividends per share for each year are as follows:

Preferred stock: 20Y1 - $4.50, 20Y2 - $1.50, 20Y3 - $9.00Common stock: 20Y1 - $1.35, 20Y2 - $0.45, 20Y3 - $2.70

Answers

Answer:

The amount of dividends paid to common stockholders in 2016 is $4000

Explanation:

The cumulative preferred shares are the shares that accumulate dividends in case the dividends on these shares are not paid or paid partially in a year. The accumulated dividends will need to be paid first whenever the company declares dividends.

The amounts of dividends on preferred share for one year is,

Dividends - Preferred shares = 20 * 0.05 * 1500  =  $1500

Thus, the accumulated dividends on these preferred shares at start of 2016 is,

Accumulated dividends - Preferred shares = 1500 * 3 = $4500

The common shares holders are paid after the preferred share holders have been paid. This means that we will deduct the amount of accumulated dividends on preferred shares and the dividends for this year on preferred shares from the total dividends to calculate the amount to be paid to common share holders as dividends.

Common stock dividends =  10000 - (4500 + 1500)   = $4000

Oil wells and seasonal resorts will often shut down temporarily because Multiple Choice variable costs for pumping oil and operating resorts fluctuate significantly. fixed costs temporarily rise, making production unprofitable. prices for their output temporarily fall below their average variable costs of production. government regulations require seasonal shutdowns for maintenance purposes.

Answers

Answer:

Oil wells and seasonal resorts will often shut down temporarily because prices for their output temporarily fall below their average variable costs of production.

Explanation: If the price is below the minimum average variable cost, the firm would lose less money by shutting down. In contrast, in scenario 3 the revenue that the center can earn is high enough that the losses diminish when it remains open, so the center should remain open in the short run.

Final answer:

In economics, firms face the decision to shut down temporarily or continue operations when prices fall below their average variable costs. Shutting down can result in smaller losses compared to staying open and incurring fixed costs. Government regulations may also require seasonal shutdowns for maintenance purposes.

Explanation:

In economics, fixed costs refer to the expenses a firm must incur before producing any output, while variable costs are the expenses incurred during the production process. When the price of a firm's output falls below its average variable costs, the firm is unable to generate enough revenue to cover its variable costs. In such cases, shutting down and producing no output would result in smaller losses compared to staying in operation and incurring fixed costs, in addition to some variable costs.

The point at which the average variable cost curve intersects with the marginal cost curve is called the shutdown point. If a perfectly competitive firm faces a market price above this point, it is at least covering its average variable costs. However, if the price falls below this point, the firm is not even covering its variable costs, and staying open would result in larger losses. In the case of oil wells and seasonal resorts, this can lead to temporary shutdowns.

Government regulations may also require seasonal shutdowns for maintenance purposes. By temporarily shutting down, firms can reduce their overall costs and avoid operating at a loss. It is important for firms to closely analyze their costs and prices to make informed decisions about shutting down temporarily or continuing operations.

Carlos is risk-neutral and has an ancient farmhouse with great character for sale in Slaterville Springs. His reservation price for the house is $130,000. The only possible local buyer is Whitney, whose reservation price for the house is $150,000. The only other houses on the market are modern ranch houses that sell for $125,000, which is exactly equal to each potential buyer’s reservation price for such a house. Suppose that if Carlos does not hire a realtor, Whitney will learn from her neighbor that Carlos’s house is for sale and will buy it for $140,000. However, if Carlos hires a realtor, he knows that the realtor will put him in touch with an enthusiast for old farmhouses who is willing to pay up to $350,000 for the house. Carlos also knows that if he and this person negotiate, they will agree on a price of $300,000.

Answers

Answer:

The question is not complete, this part could complete the question:

"If Realtors charge a commission of 5 percent of the selling price and all Realtors have opportunity costs of $2,000 for negotiating a sale, will Carlos hire a Realtor? If so, how will total economic surplus be affected?"

The answer is, the total economic surplus increased from $20,000 to $248,000

Explanation:

Firstly it is important to understand what marginal cost, marginal benefit and Asymmetric information is. Marginal cost is the cost added from the spending of one more unit of resource while marginal benefit is considered as the benefit from spending one more unit of resource. Asymmetric information is a situation whereby one part of the transaction possess more information and material facts than other parts.

Carlos reservation price is $130,000. He wishes to sell to sell for $140,000 to Whitney who has a reservation price of $150,000. Therefore the surplus to Carlos is 140,000 - 130,000 = $10,000 and surplus to Whitney is 150,000 - 140,000 = $10,000. Therefore, the total economic surplus is $20,000

If Carlos sells through a realtor who charges 5% if the property is sold for $300,000 to someone with a reservation price of $350,000. The surplus will be:

5% × 300,000 - 2000 = $13,000.

Now, the surplus is 300,000 - 130,000 + 15,000 = $185,000

Therefore, the surplus to the buyer is

350,000 - 300,000 = $50,000

Hence, the total economic surplus increased from $20,000 to $248,000

The actual financial surplus grew from $20,000 to $248,000 in the last year.

To begin, it is necessary to comprehend the concepts of marginal cost, marginal gain, and asymmetric knowledge.

The expense of expending one more unit of material is referred to as marginal cost, and the benefit of expending one more unit of material is referred to as marginal benefit.  

Carlos reservation price = $130,000

Wishes sales = $140,000

Whitney reservation price = $150,000

Carlos surplus = $140,000 - $130,000

Carlos surplus  = $10,000

Whitney surplus = 150,000 - 140,000

Whitney surplus = $10,000

Total economic surplus = $10,000 + $10,000

Total economic surplus = $20,000

Carlos sells by realtor

New surplus = [5% × $300,000] - $2000

New surplus = $13,000

Total surplus = $300,000 - 130,000 + 15,000 = $185,000

Total new economic surplus = $185,000 + $13,000 + ($350,000 - $300,000)

Total new economic surplus = $248,000
