Dover Chemical Company manufactures specialty chemicals by a series of three processes, all materials being introduced in the Distilling Department. From the Distilling Department, the materials pass through the Reaction and Filling departments, emerging as finished chemicals.
The balance in the account Work in Process—Filling was as follows on January 1:
| Work in Process—Filling Department | ||
| (5,500 units, 30% completed): | ||
| Direct materials (5,500 x $12.3) | $67,650 | |
| Conversion (5,500 x 30% x $8) | 13,200 | |
| $80,850 | ||
The following costs were charged to Work in Process—Filling during January:
| Direct materials transferred from Reaction | ||
| Department: 71,000 units at $12.1 a unit | $859,100 | |
| Direct labor | 295,170 | |
| Factory overhead | 283,586 | |
During January, 70,400 units of specialty chemicals were completed. Work in Process—Filling Department on January 31 was 6,100 units, 30% completed.
Required:
1. Prepare a cost of production report for the Filling Department for January. If an amount is zero, enter "0". If required, round your cost per equivalent unit answers to two decimal places.

A monopolist meets the demand curve P = 200-8Q. The company has
a fixed cost of 200 and a marginal cost of MC = 40. This means that
the total cost is TC = 200 + 40Q. How big is the monopoly
gain?
I repeat if you dont know the answer dont even bother idiots.

Hurggasky, Inc.'s balance sheet is shown as follows:
Cash: 460,000
Accounts receivable: 4,080,000
Inventories: 7,900,000 Long-term debt: 11,140,000
Net property, plant, and equipment: 19,146,000 Common equity: 20,446,000
Total assets:31,586,000 Total debt and equity: 31,586,000
.Currently the price of the company's common stock is selling at a price the same as its book value, and the company's bonds are selling at par. The market's required rate of return for its stock is estimated to be
19 percent. The yield to maturity of the Hurggasky's bonds is 9 percent, and the company's corporate tax rate is 27 percent.
Answer the following questions.
a. Hurggasky's weighted average cost of capital will be ________.
b. What would the firm's cost of capital be if the company's cost of equity to drop to 17 percent (assuming there is no change on the cost of debt and tax rate)?
c. If Hurggasky buy another equipment company, the appropriate cost of capital for this buyout project would be its ________ cost of capital.

Consider a perfectly competitive firm with total costs
?? = ? + ?? + ??2
a) Identify the fixed cost ??, and the variable cost of this firm, ??(?). (Each of them is just a part of the total cost.)
b) Find the average cost ??(?), and the marginal cost ??(?).
c) Long-run supply. Find the minimum of the ??(?) curve, which constitutes the “shut- down price” in a long-run setting. Use this “shut-down price” to describe the firm’s long-run supply curve. d) Evaluate the long-run supply curve at ? = 10, ? = 4, and ? = 2.
e) Short-run supply curve. Use your results from part (a) to find the average variable cost function. Find the minimum of the ???(?) curve, which constitutes the “shut- down price” in a short -run setting. Use this “shut-down price” to describe the firm’s short-run supply curve.
f) Evaluate the short-run supply curve at ? = 10, ? = 4, and ? = 2
