Question 2 (b)
Ebo is the owner of medium-sized company that assembles personal computers in Ghana. He purchase most of the components for the company such as random access memory (RAM) on a competitive market. In order to maximise profit in the short run, he employed an economist to estimate the demand curve, which he was able to use to derive the marginal revenue (MR) from his product as: ?? = 70 − 16?. The economist also derived the marginal cost function (MC) as: ?? = 6? − 51.
(i) Find the total revenue function and deduce the corresponding demand equation.
(ii) Find the total cost function if the fixed cost is 400.
(iii) Determine the number of laptops that maximizes the company’s profit. (iv) Howmuchshouldthefirmchargeforonecomputer?
(v) Find the total profit at the profit maximizing level of output.

A company is going public at $20 and will use the ticker XYZ. The underwriters will charge a 7 percent spread. The company is issuing 16 million shares, and insiders will continue to hold an additional 32 million shares that will not be part of the IPO. The company will also pay $2.5 million of audit fees, $3.5 million of legal fees, and $900,000 of printing fees. The stock closes the first day at $23. What are the total costs of going public for XYZ as a percentage of the total pre-cost equity value? In calculating the pre-cost equity value, use the closing price of the stock at the end of the first day as the pre-cost equity value. Include underpricing in the calculation of the total costs of the offering. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Imperial Devices (ID) has offered to supply the state government with one model of its security screening device at "cost plus 20 percent." ID operates a manufacturing plant that can produce 22,000 devices per year, but it normally produces 20,000. The costs to produce 20,000 devices follow:

Total Cost Cost per
Device
Production costs:
Materials $ 1,140,000 $ 57.00
Labor 1,960,000 98.00
Supplies and other costs that will vary with production 740,000 37.00
Indirect cost that will not vary with production 680,000 34.00
Variable marketing costs 1,800,000 90.00
Administrative costs (will not vary with production) 1,300,000 65.00
Totals $ 7,620,000 $ 381.00

Based on these data, company management expects to receive $457.20 (= $381.00 × 120 percent) per monitor for those sold on this contract. After completing 2,000 monitors, the company sent a bill (invoice) to the government for $914,400 (= 2,000 monitors × $457.20 per monitor).

The president of the company received a call from a state auditor, who stated that the per monitor cost should be:

Materials $ 57.00
Labor 98.00
Supplies and other costs that will vary with production 37.00
$ 192.00

Therefore, the price per monitor should be $230.40 (= $192.00 × 120 percent). The state government ignored marketing costs because the contract bypassed the usual selling channels.

Required:

For each of the four situations, calculate the cost basis per device based on the information shown above. What price would you recommend? (Round intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

Options:

A. Only the differential production costs could be considered as the cost basis.

B. The total cost per device for normal production of 20,000 devices could be used as the cost basis.

C. The total cost per device for production of 22,000 devices, excluding marketing costs, could be used as the cost basis.

D. The total cost per device for production of 22,000 devices, including marketing costs, could be used as the cost basis.
