Answer:
It must shut down
Explanation:
Even at the lower average variable cost, which is 3.50 dolllar will be lossing money given a market price of 3.00 dollar
Considering is not making enough to cover the variable cost the best option is to shut down and only take a hit for the fixed cost until it can totally exit the market. If it tries to produce it will only make thinks worse as producing generates more losses
Answer: $32.70
Explanation:
According to the dividend discount model, the value of the stock today is the present value of the dividends to be paid plus the present value of the value of the dividend from when the company starts maintaining a stable growth rate which in this question in year 2.
= (Year 1 Dividend / ( 1 + r)) + (Year 2 Dividend / ( 1 + r)²) + (value at year 2 / ( r - g))
Value at year 2 = Year 3 dividend / ( required return - growth rate)
= ( Year 2 dividend * (1 + g)) / ( required return - growth rate)
= (2.46* ( 1 + 0.039)) / ( 0.113 - 0.039)
= $34.54
Value today = (Year 1 Dividend / ( 1 + r)) + (Year 2 Dividend / ( 1 + r)²) + (value at year 2 / ( r - g))
= 3.15/1.113 + 2.46/1.113² + 34.54/1.113²
= 2.83 + 1.99 + 27.88
= $32.70

Answer:
a. 1, 5 and 7
b. Resources will be allocated inefficiently
c. Differing sizes and capacities
d. Benefits due to economies of scale
e. Reduce prices and improve resource allocation.
Explanation:
The correct combination is 1, 5 and 7. The price of a pure monopoly firm is much higher than that of purely competitive firm because the later is a price taker while the former is a price fixer. Because of this, output of monopoly is lower while the profit margin is higher than that of competitive firm.
Assuming that a pure monopolist and a purely competitive firm have the same unit costs. In the case of a pure monopolist, resources will be allocated inefficiently because the monopolist does not produce at the point of minimum Average Total Cost and does not equate price and Marginal cost.
Even though both monopolists and competitive firms follow the MC = MR rule in maximizing profits, there are differences in the economic outcomes because pure competitors lack capacity and are smaller in size while the monopolist has the capacity to expand inorder to maximize profits.
The costs of a purely competitive firm and a monopoly may be different because the monopolist is capable of taking advantage of cost reduction arising from economics of scale. Pure competitors does not experience economies of scale due to their small sizes.
If a monopoly can experience economies of scale, it can reduce prices beyond that of the pure competitor thereby ensuring a more efficient resource allocation.
Answer:
B) The sole criterion for Joanna's promotion was her effectiveness in meeting individual targets.
Explanation:
Joanna wants to guide her sbordinates in executing various projects but they are not proactively coming to her for advise. This indicates that before her promotion she was very good at doing work individually and most likely did not work collectively to achieve results.
Based on this background tlshe was promoted on the basis of her individual efforts and her staff are not comfortable coming to her for guidance, since this was not her style before promotion.
Her approachable nature in building a team would not have been a criteria, if not it would have resulted in greater request for guidance from subordinates.
