If tax revenue is given by the following function: REV(t)=t×w×(h-l(t)), where t is the labor tax rate, w is the wage rate, h is the maximum amount of time available to the household, and l(t) is leisure as an increasing function of the tax rate i.e. if the labor tax rate t increases, leisure increases, so that individuals work less. Assume that l(t)=min[h,t²]. This simply means that leisure cannot exceed h which is the maximum amount of time available. Find the tax rate that maximizes the tax revenue when h=1, w=$5. Be precise and report 4 digits after the decimal point.

Big Joe’s Super Cars, Present Value (Revised Revenue Guidance) Big Joe’s Super Cars has just sold a luxury car to customer Tim. The purchase contract establishes a base price of $60,000, plus a contractual interest rate of 4%, payable in 60 monthly installments of $1,105. Control of the car transferred to Tim when Tim signed the contract and drove off the lot. If Tim had obtained separate financing (say, a bank loan) for the purchase of the car, his interest rate would have been 6%. What amount of revenue should Big Joe’s record at the date of sale? What guidance should Big Joe’s apply to the subsequent measurement of its receivable? Next, reflect upon what measurement attribute is being used to record Big Joe’s revenues. How does this approach achieve the objective of this measurement attribute? Hint: This example will require you to perform computations. You might find it useful to use Microsoft Excel’s formula options: PMT and PV. Excel walks you through how to input numbers into each formula.

Hickory's management is deciding whether to keep or drop the parquet product line. Hickory's parquet flooring product line has a contribution margin of $50,000 (sales of $300,000 less total variable costs of $250,000). All variable costs are relevant.

Relevant fixed costs associated with this line include 80% of parquet's machine rent and all of parquet's supervision salaries. In addition, assume that dropping the parquet product line would reduce sales of the strip line by 27% and sales of the plank line by 20%. All other information remains the same.

1. If the parquet product line is dropped, what is the contribution margin for the strip line?

2. Which alternative (keep or drop the parquet product line) is now more cost effective and by how much?

A profit-maximizing monopolist operates with an inverse demand curve P = 20 − Q and an associated marginal revenue MR = 20 − 2Q.

 

A profit-maximizing monopolist operates with an inverse demand curve P = 20 − Q and an associated marginal revenue MR = 20 − 2Q. Marginal cost of production is constant at MC = 4. Assume they have to sell each unit of output for the same price.

a) Find the monopolist’s optimal choice of output and the socially efficient output.

b) Sketch demand, marginal revenue, and marginal cost. Indicate on your diagram the points you found in part a).

c) What is the amount of deadweight loss at the monopolist’s optimal choice? If a buyer is willing to pay more than marginal cost for the next unit beyond the monopolist’s choice of output, why doesn’t the monopolist choose to produce and sell that unit?
