“In a perfectly competitive market, firms always operate at the lowest per-unit cost.” Is the preceding statement true or false? Explain your answer.

For a perfectly competitive firm, profit maximization does not conflict with resource allocative efficiency. Do you agree? Explain your answer.

The perfectly competitive firm does not increase its quantity of output without limit, even thought it can sell all it wants at the going price. Why not?

Why is the marginal revenue curve for a perfectly competitive firm the same as its demand curve?

Complete the following cost schedule:

Quantity 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

11. World Company expects to operate at 80% of its productive capacity of 70,000 units per month. At this planned level, the company expects to use 25,200 standard hours of direct labor. Overhead is allocated to products using a predetermined standard rate of 0.450 direct labor hour per unit. At the 80% capacity level, the total budgeted cost includes $57,960 fixed overhead cost and $322,560 variable overhead cost. In the current month, the company incurred $386,000 actual overhead and 22,200 actual labor hours while producing 53,000 units.

1. You borrow $2,400 to pay for a Caribbean vacation and will pay it off over 2 years with regular monthly payments.

   1. What is the regular payment if interest is charged on the loan amount at APR of 12% interest is charged monthly on the balance still owed. Round up to the next whole dollar.

   2. Create an amortization table (balance sheet) for this loan.

   3. What is the amount of the balloon payment (the last payment)?

   4. What is the total amount of payments made? What is the total cost of the loan? (The cost of the loan is the total amount of interest paid. This is most easily calculated as cost = (number of payments)*(payment amount) - (principal). You may have to adjust it slightly based on the last payment, though!)

   5. How much would be saved in interest if you paid an extra $20 per month?

   6. How much faster would you pay off the loan if you paid an extra $20 per month?

Single Plantwide Factory Overhead Rate

Mozart Music Inc. makes three musical instruments: trumpets, tubas, and trombones. The budgeted factory overhead cost is $117,980. Factory overhead is allocated to the three products on the basis of direct labor hours. The products have the following budgeted production volume and direct labor hours per unit:

If required, round all per unit answers to the nearest cent.

a. Determine the single plantwide factory overhead rate.
$ per direct labor hour

b. Use the factory overhead rate in (a) to determine the amount of total and per-unit factory overhead allocated to each of the three products.

Two advertising media are being considered for the promotion of a product. Radio ads cost $480 each, while newspaper ads cost $550 each. The total budget is $20,000 per week. The total number of ads should be at least 30, with a max of 5 newspaper ads. Each newspaper ad reaches 8,000 people, while each radio ad reaches 5,000 people.

Let R = # of radio ads

Let P = # of newspaper ads

Max 5000 R + 8000P

s. t.

480R + 550P <= 20000 cost of ads

R + P >= 30 total # of ads

P <= 5 max number of newspaper ads

R,P >= 0

Round your answers to the highest whole numbers

The company wishes to reach as many people as possible while meeting all the constraints stated, what is maximum reach?

How many ads of each type should be placed?
