Problem #6, p. 221 in text. (You do not need to “derive” the Cournot equilibrium. Just solve for the values using the appropriate formulas.) Market demand: P = 400 – 2Q Unit cost production = 40 a. Firm’s quantity in equilibrium is : q1 = (a-c)/3b = (400-40)/(3*2)= 60 unit = q2 Firm’s revenue: P= 400 – 2 * (2*60) = $160 Firm’s profit = (60*160) – (60*40) = $7200 b. Monopoly output: MR=400-4q MC=40 MR=MC 400 – 4q = 40 then q=90 unit The reason that producing on half the monopoly output (90*1.5 = 135) a Nash equilibrium outcome is that it will exceed the market demand of Nash equilibrium ($160).

Therefore, if when a consumer enters a store and sees similarly priced products, one imported and one made domestically, they can choose a US made product without feeling as if they are overpaying for the same product. Many American consumers would like to purchase American products but if American products are considerably priced higher than imports, it will make it a difficult decision. Since the protective tariffs would even the playing field for the consumer, it would be a beneficial implementation. 2. Point #2: Tariffs protect American jobs and wages.
5) Information about Clearwater Company's direct materials cost follows: Standard price per materials ounce $ 100 Actual quantity used 8,700 grams Standard quantity allowed for production 9,100 grams Price variance $ 76,125 F ________________________________________ Required: What was the actual purchase price per gram? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.) Actual purchase price $ 91.25 Total grade: 0.0×1/1 = 0% Feedback: Actual Costs = AP × 8,700 Actual Inputs at Standard Price = $100 × 8,700 =$870,000 Price Variance = $76,125 F 8,700 × AP = $870,000 – $76,125 AP = $91.25 ________________________________________ Question 3: Score
If you choose 40 random employees from the corporation, the standard error would equal 6/Square root of 40 = .95 days. The 12 days in this department corresponds to (12-8.2)/.95 = 4 standard errors above the corporation average of 8.2. This is much higher than two or three standard errors, and it appears to be beyond chance variation. Chapter 9 Exercise 3 The p- value tells you how likely it would be to get results at least as extreme as this if there was no difference in the taste and only chance variation was operating. In this problem, p-value of 0.02 means that, if there is no difference in taste, then there is only 2% chance that 70% or more people would declare one drink better than the
The R^2=86.52%, while R=0.80. From the Analysis of Variance, we saw the P Value= 0.000 the F Value= 85.6452. When we tested with the significance level of 5% we concluded the P value was less than, therefore we concluded to reject the null hypothesis for this level. We also performed the 95% Confidence level to be ($0.009and $0.015) for B1. In addition, we can estimated that a customer with a $4000 credit balance to have an income in between (41.7665, 46.6130) in $1000 using the 95% CI confidence levels to calculate the income level.
Taking about $2,691,000 and dividing it by $40,000,000 dollars would result in a return of equity of some 6.73.00%. This would then be the lowest by far of the three investment types. It would require by far the least amount of debt that would have to be used and financed and would also use the most working capital of assets being used to finance and fund the investment. Conservative EBIT-$6,000,000 Minus Interest-1,515,000 EBT-$4,485,000 Minus Tax Rate of
In fiscal year 2008, the return on invested capital of continuing operations was 9.5% compared to fiscal year 2007’s 13.9%. The decrease reflects the decrease in operating profit that also impacts the rationalization charges. If the rationalization charges are excluded the return on invested capital for continuing operations would have been 11.4% (Phillips, Libby, Libby, 2011). The cash flow statement shows the movement of cash within a company. The cash flow statement is split into three categories: operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities.
When / if MR is higher than MC then MP would result in a profit for Company A. However, if MC is higher than MR Company A, would experience a loss. Utilizing method the Total Revenue – Total cost method; TR-TC method which depends on P (profit) = Revenue - Cost. When utilizing this method the first step is to determine the results of this equation P=TR-TC. Based on the given scenario for Company A and with utilizing the given data table.
The result of this decision was that the resulting positions would have changed direction in their valuation as the exchange rate moved in either direction. | |Half covered / half uncovered |Fully covered |No coverage | |Calculation |$250,000,000*3.2DM/$ |$500,000,000*3.2DM/$ |500,000,000*2.3DM/$ | | |+ | | | | |250,000,000*2.3DM/$ | | | |Total |$1,375,000,000 |$1,600,000,000 |$1,150,000,000 | As it can be seen from the table above, Ruhnau´s strategy indeed made sense. After all he should have done what he wanted to do, leave everything uncovered, but in this case he wouldn´t have had any safeguard against a rising dollar, which would have significantly increased the purchasing costs of the Boeing transaction in the worst case. Although Ruhnau would have saved 28% ($450 mil. from 1.6 bil.)
