Should a competitive firm ever produce when it's losing money? Why?

Answers

Answer 1

A competitive firm should not continue to produce if it is consistently losing money, as this is not a sustainable business model. The firm should instead focus on reducing costs and increasing revenue in order to become profitable.

What is competitive firm?

A competitive firm is a business that operates in a market with many other firms that offer similar products or services. These firms are in competition with one another for customers and market share. They typically have similar production methods and face similar market conditions, such as similar input prices and similar technology.

In a perfectly competitive market, firms are price takers, meaning they cannot influence the market price of their product or service. They must accept the market price and make production decisions based on that price. However, in imperfectly competitive markets, firms have some degree of pricing power, meaning they can influence the price they charge. In these markets, firms may engage in non-price competition, such as advertising, to differentiate their products and gain an advantage over their rivals.

The goal of a competitive firm is to maximize profits by producing at the lowest possible cost and charging the highest possible price. They have to be efficient and innovative to survive in the market and have to respond quickly to changes in demand, technology and competition.

D. John likes to drink spring water. At $2 he buys four bottles of water, and at $1.50 he still buys four bottles of water.

Answers

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

In order to answer this question correctly, we first need to understand the law of demands.

Law of demands: It says that the relationship of price and quantity demanded is inversely proportional. It means if the price of a particular product goes high, then the quantity of demand will be reduced. Similarly, if the price of the product is low then the quantity of demanded will be higher.

Here,

Option B is the most relevant to the Law of Demand which says that Kathleen eats more steak when the price is low. It means when the price is low, the quantity of steak demanded is higher in Kathleen's case. Furthermore, Kathleen eats less when the price is high. It means, when the price of steak is higher then the quantity of steak demanded from Kathleen is low.

Hence, Option B is the correct option which fulfills the law of demand.

The 2018 balance sheet of Speith’s Golf Shop, Inc., showed long-term debt of $5 million, and the 2019 balance sheet showed long-term debt of $5.25 million. The 2019 income statement showed an interest expense of $165,000. The 2018 balance sheet showed $510,000 in the common stock account and $4.6 million in the additional paid-in surplus account. The 2019 balance sheet showed $550,000 and $4.8 million in the same two accounts, respectively. The company paid out $410,000 in cash dividends during 2019. Suppose you also know that the firm’s net capital spending for 2019 was $1,370,000, and that the firm reduced its net working capital investment by $69,000. What was the firm's 2019 operating cash flow, or OCF?

Answers

Answer:

$1,386,000

Explanation:

The computation of the operating cash flow is shown below:

But before that following calculations must be done

Cash Flow to Creditors

Cash Flow to Creditors = Interest Expenses Paid - Net Increase in Long term debt

= Interest Expenses Paid - [Ending Long term debt  - BEginning Long term Debt]

= $165,000 - [$5,250,000 - $5,000,000]

= $165,000 - $250,000

= -$85,000

Cash Flow to Stockholders

Cash Flow to Stockholders = Dividend Paid - Net New Equity

= Dividend Paid - [(Ending Common stock  + Ending Additional paid-in surplus account ) - (Opening Common stock  + OPening Additional paid-in surplus account )

= $410,000 - [($550,000 + $4,800,000) - ($510,000 + $4,6000,000)]

= $410,000 - [$5,350,000 - $5,110,000]

= $410,000 - $240,000

= $170,000  

Cash Flow from assets

Cash Flow from assets = Cash Flow to Creditors + Cash Flow to Stockholders

= -$85,000 + $170,000

= $85,000

Operating Cash Flow  

= Operating Cash flows - Change in Net Working capital - Net Capital Spending

$85,000 = Operating cash flow - (-$69,000) - $1,370,000

= $85,000 - $69,000 + $13,70,000

= $1,386,000

Answers

Answer:

9.749 years

Explanation:

Given that :

Principal, P = 20,000

Total investment A = 35000

Investment 1:

P = $10,000

Compounded continuously at r = 5.2% = 0.052

A = Pe^rt

Investment B:

P = $10,000

Compounded annually at r = 6.4% = 0.064

A = P(1 + r)^t

Hence, final amount, A on both investment = 35000

A = Pe^rt + P(1 + r)^t

35000 = 10000e^0.052t + 10000(1 + 0.064)^t

Divide through by 10000

3.5 = e^0.052t + 1.064^t

t = 9.749123

t = 9.749 years

Answers

Answer:

Note: The full question is attached below

Date      Accounts Title and Explanation        Debit     Credit

Mar-31   WIP-Fermenting Department            $15,971

                     Raw Material Inventory                                $9,288

                     Wages payable                                             $3,305

                     Manufacturing Overhead                             $3,378

              (Being cost assigned to WIP-Fermenting department)

Manufacturing overhead was estimated to be $249,600 for the year along with 20,800 direct labor hours. Actual manufacturing overhead was $219,000, and actual labor hours were 21,900. The amount debited to the Manufacturing Overhead account would be: Multiple Choice $219,000. $249,600. $233,000. $262,800.

Answers

Answer:

Debit to manufacturing overhead= $262,800

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 249,600/20,800

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $12 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 12*21,900

Allocated MOH= $262,800

Debit to manufacturing overhead= $262,800

Quantitative Problem: Jenna is a single taxpayer. During 2018, she earned wages of $113,000. She doesn't itemize deductions, so she will take the standard deduction to calculate 2018 taxable income. In addition, during the year she sold common stock that she had owned for five years for a net profit of $5,200. How much does Jenna owe to the IRS for taxes

Answers

Solution :

Item                                                 Amount

Income                                             $113,000

Personal exemption for one             $ 4,050

Standard deduction                          $ 6,350

Taxable income                                $102,600

Therefore the taxable income is $102,600.

Now the tax payable on the taxable income is given by :

Marginal tax rate                            Amount brackets

10%                                                   $0 - $ 9,325

15%                                                   $ 9,326 - $ 37,950

25%                                                 $ 37,951 -$ 91,900

28%                                                  $ 91,901 - $ 191,650

Now according to the above taxable slab, the amount of tax on the wages earned by Jenna is :    

Tax payable = [tex]$= (0.1 \times 9325)+(0.15 \times (37950 - 9325))+(0.25 \times (91900 - 37950))+(0.28 \times (102600-91900))$[/tex][tex]$= (0.1 \times 9325)+(0.15 \times 28625)+(0.25 \times 53950)+(0.28 \times 10700)$[/tex]

= 932.5 + 4293.75 + 13487.50 + 2996

= $ 21,709.75

There is also a long term capital gain of $ 5,200 that is earned by selling the common stock.

Now as per IRS, the capital gain of a long term tax percentage for an individual single filer is in 28% tax slab category is 15%.

Therefore the tax on the capital gain of $ 5,200 is  =  0.15 x 5200

                                                                               = $780

Thus the total tax payable by Jenna is  =  $ 21,709.75 + $ 780

                                                             = $ 22,489.75

Consider two neighboring island countries called Euphoria and Contente. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce corn, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of corn or jeans that can be produced using 1 hour of labor.

Country Corn (Bushels per hour of labor) Jeans (Pairs per hour of labor)
Euphoria 4 16
Contente 6 12

Initially, suppose Contente uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 3 million hours per week to produce corn, while Euphoria uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 1 million hours per week to produce corn. Consequently, Euphoria produces 12 million pairs of jeans and 16 million bushels of corn, and Contente produces 6 million pairs of jeans and 36 million bushels of corn. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of jeans and corn it produces.

Euphoria's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of corn is___________ pair of jeans, and Contente's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of corn is__________ pair of jeans. Therefore,___________ has a comparative advantage in the production of corn, and__________ has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans.

Euphoria's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of corn is [tex]\frac{16}{4}[/tex] = 4 pair of jeans, and Contente's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of corn is [tex]\frac{12}{6}[/tex] = 2 pair of jeans. Therefore,  Contente has a comparative advantage in the production of corn, and Euphoria  has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans.

One of the key decisions employers must make is the level of compensation provided to employees. Compensation is a significant cost, and employees are one of the most important assets of the organization. It is important that the organization makes and executes good strategic choices. To facilitate this process, many organizations think systematically about its job structures for compensation and pay levels for different jobs.
An organization's job structure consists of relative pay for different functions and different levels of responsibility. It defines, for example, the difference in pay between entry-level and management jobs, as well as different entry-level jobs in different departments, such as in production or accounting. Pay level is the average amount that an organization pays for a particular job and includes wages, salaries, and bonuses. Job structure and pay levels together form the pay structure, a policy that helps the organization achieve goals related to employee motivation, cost control, and the ability to attract and retain talented employees.
This activity is important because it will help you distinguish between the various factors that impact an organization’s pay structure. The goal of this activity is to classify decisions based on the factors used to establish a pay structure.

Inattentive Driving. While cutting class and driving off campus to check on her new dress for the upcoming formal, Molly, a busy college student, is busy talking on her cell phone with her friend Sharon. Molly is trying to talk Sharon into going to the dance with her brother, who has a big crush on Sharon. Unfortunately for Molly, there is a statute in her state outlawing talking on a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle. Molly crashes into the side of Sam's new convertible when she looks down to pick up a can of soda she just dropped onto her new jeans. A police officer just down the street comes over to investigate. Molly explains to him that it was difficult to hold the cell phone in one hand, the soda in the other, and also drive. The officer was not impressed. Around that time Sam comes along. He is furious regarding the significant dent in his new car. Molly says she has insurance and that she will cover the whole incident. Sam says that is insufficient.

There will therefore be no foreign trade tax credit because the income from this transaction will be treated as having been earned in the United States (U.S. source income).

Answers

Answer:

Dr Work in process inventory 2,800  

Dr Factory overhead 600  

    Cr Raw material inventory 3,400

Explanation:

Work in process = $900 + $1,200 + $700 = $2,800

Factory overhead (supplies) is the same, $600

inventory decrease = WIP + supplies = $2,800 + $600 = $3,400

The Dieker Company will keep track of the production's raw materials on January 31. The final journal entry will read like this:

Dr Work in process inventory 2,800  

Dr Factory overhead 600  

   Cr Raw material inventory 3,400

Work in process = $900 + $1,200 + $700

Work in process = $2,800

Factory overhead (supplies) is the same, $600

Inventory decrease = WIP + supplies

Inventory decrease = $2,800 + $600

Inventory decrease = $3,400

The same amount will be credited to the account for raw materials inventory, reducing the balance of the account to represent the raw materials utilized in production.

Answers

Answer:

$6673

$14,533.50

$421,256.38

$234,243.36

Explanation:

The formula for determining future value is :

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

$1,800 x (1.14)^10 = $6673

$7,852 x (1.08)^8 = $14,533.50

$67,355 x (1.13)^15 = $421,256.38

$174,796 x (1.05)^6 = $234,243.36

Consider the following game in extensive form: The King of Siam has many enemies who would like to poison him. His Highness seeks a Royal Taster to taste his food before He eats. The King generously offers a wage w < 10 to anyone who will take the job. The going wage for labor in Siam is w0. The values his life at 10. His Enemies value his death at 10 also, and poisoning attempts cost 5.

Stage 1: The King chooses to Hire or Not Hire a Taster at wage w.
Stage 2: The Enemies choose to Poison or Not Poison.

The game tree with moves and payoffs is as follows:

a. Write down the strategies for Players 1 (King) and 2 (Enemies). Write down the Normal form of the game
b. Find the Nash equilibria of the game.
c. Use Backward Induction to solve the game.
d. Will the King need to offer a wage greater than the going wage wo to attract a willing taster? Why or why not

Answers

Solution :

a). The normal form in the game is given below as :

                       The King

The Enemies                             Hire            Not hire

                       To Poison          (-5, 10-w)          (5, 0)

                    Not to Poison       (0, 10-w)          (0, 10)

b). For the enemies there is no such dominant strategy and the king also does not have any dominant strategy. Therefore, there is no pure strategy of Nash equilibrium.

c). The backward induction helps to suggest that there is a spine for the game when the king hires a Royal taster and the enemies do not poisons the king : (Hire, Not poison).

d). Yes the king needs to offer a wage that is greater than going wage, [tex]$w_0$[/tex] in order to attract the willing taster as the value of the life of his more.

2. How is CrudeOil violating its core value of treating oth-
ers with respect? What are some ways it could reincor-m
porate this core value into its organizational culture??

Answers

Answer:

1. Describe the organizational culture at CrudeOil. How does it contribute to the current situation?

Jim treated all of the employees with intimidating behavior based on productivity levels and not moral or ethical concepts. His leadership style is coercive and demands immediate compliance. If this style were summed up in one phrase, it would be "Do what I tell you." In my opinion, it should be avoided because it can alienate employees and create a hostile work environment.

2. How is CrudeOil violating its core value of treating others with respect?

What are some ways it could reincorporate this core value into its organizational culture? “The company’s core value is to treat everyone with respect”. Employees and supervisors, in my experiences, often treat colleagues in harsh and unethical manners only as far as the victim allows it to happen. Financial and reputational harm are questionable and unethical behaviors and organizational policies must be clearly established to reincorporate this value into its culture.

3. If Madison cannot report her problems to her immediate supervisor, what are some other ways she can handle the situation?

I would suggest for Madison to seek advice from a trusted professional, such as the HR compliance officer to verify the actions are inappropriate, if so, Madison needs to learn what process is available for voicing her concern to a higher level. Jim’s behavior is clearly unethical, but many of these behaviors are less clear and occur in complex situations. The most complicated situations often involve employees who witness what is, or appears to be, unethical behavior and are unsure how to respond, especially if job security is on the line...

This is some of it

Jim's leadership abilities breached CrudeOil's fundamental value of treating others with respect because he frequently treats coworkers harshly and unethically.

What are the three main uses of crude oil?

Petroleum-based products are used to power vehicles, heat buildings, and generate energy. Plastics, polyurethane, solvents, and countless more intermediate and finished commodities are produced by the petrochemical industry, which is a part of the industrial sector.

Jim's activities should therefore be addressed by top management in order to reintegrate this key principle into the organizational culture. Additionally, they could offer a variety of training to their staff, particularly those in higher positions, to inform them on correct management and leadership skills as well as the significance of adhering to the company's code of ethics.
