Question 4 [20 marks] Analyze if the statements that are presented below are True or False....

Question 4 [20 marks] Analyze if the statements that are presented below are True or False. You MUST justify your answer to get credit. Answers without justification (even if they are correct) will be given zero marks.

(a) In any Pareto-optimal allocation of a two-good economy, each consumer has to consume a positive amount of both goods.

(b) A monopolist never produces on the elastic segment of its average revenue curve.

(c) If a firm’s production exhibits increasing returns to scale, then the firm’s marginal costs are decreasing and below its average costs.

(d) Maroon Theater practices third-degree price discrimination and sells tickets to three groups of customers: students, regular customers and senior citizens. The inverse demand of the three groups is linear. Furthermore, the students’ and senior citizens’ elasticities of demand for tickets are −4 and −3, respectively. Because the price charged to regular customers is greater than the price charged to senior citizens, we know with certainty that the ticket price for students will be lower than the ticket price for regular customers.

  1. Comparing the Gross Margin percentages of the jobs under traditional costing. Should Lock-Tite be concerned with the accuracy of the overhead applied to each job? Explain why in 30 to 50 words.

  1. Businesses that typically use job costing, will generally quote their customers a price before the work begins. Recently, Lock-Tite’s customers have indicated that their prices are priced significantly different from competitive companies’ prices. Given the significant amount of under-applied overhead, do you think these gross margin percentages are realistic? Could they be charging their customers too much? Not enough? While answering these questions, explain how the application of overhead impacts the information the company uses. Use 30 to 50 words.
