1. The short-run supply curve for a firm in a perfectly competitive industry is:

1. The short-run marginal cost curve that is above minimum average variable cost (which takes into account the fact that the firm should shut down if price falls below average variable cost).
2. The entire average variable cost.
3. The entire short-run marginal cost curve.
4. The entire average total cost curve.

2. Which of the following statements is true regarding short-run and long-run costs? (Assume all cost curves have typical shapes, e.g., average total cost and average variable cost are U-shaped.)
   1. Average fixed cost always falls as output increases.
   2. Economies of scale exist in both the short-run and the long-run.
   3. If a firm is experiencing diseconomies of scale, then the firm’s long-run average cost curve is rising in the range of the firm’s current output level.
   4. All of the above are true.
   5. Both (a) and (c) are tru

3. In December 2017 it was reported that U.S. rice harvests were down sharply due to bad weather, and prices were expected to rise due to tight supplies. The U.S. rice market is competitive. Holding all else constant (e.g., there are no shifts in demand or changes in the price of substitutes or complements), if total revenue earned by rice farmers goes up as a result of the surprisingly low harvest, we can infer that in the current price range:

1. The demand for rice is elastic.
2. The demand for rice is inelastic.
3. The supply of rice is elasti
4. The demand for rice is less elastic than the supply of rice.

4. Which of the following statements about profit maximization and equilibrium in a perfectly competitive market is necessarily true in a long-run equilibrium?

1. Economic profits are positive, as there are barriers to entry which sustain above normal profits.
2. Economic profits are driven to zero by competition, as barriers to entry are nonexistent (or at least very low).
3. Price is above long-run marginal cost.
4. Price is below the minimum of long-run average cost.

I do not understand how you post it. When I put some of the answers in, they are wrong.

Comprehensive Problem 5
Part B:

Note: This section is a continuation from Part A of the comprehensive problem. Be sure you have completed Part A before attempting Part B. You may have to refer back to data presented in Part A and use answers from Part A when completing this section.

Genuine Spice Inc. began operations on January 1 of the current year. The company produces 8-ounce bottles of hand and body lotion called Eternal Beauty. The lotion is sold wholesale in 12-bottle cases for $100 per case. There is a selling commission of $20 per case. The January direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead costs are as follows:

Part B—August Budgets

During July of the current year, the management of Genuine Spice Inc. asked the controller to prepare August manufacturing and income statement budgets. Demand was expected to be 1,500 cases at $100 per case for August. Inventory planning information is provided as follows:

Finished Goods Inventory:

Materials Inventory:

There was negligible work in process inventory assumed for either the beginning or end of the month; thus, none was assumed. In addition, there was no change in the cost per unit or estimated units per case operating data from January.

Required:

5. Prepare the August production budget. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

6. Prepare the August direct materials purchases budget. Enter the unit price to the nearest cent. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

7. Prepare the August direct labor cost budget. For hours required, round to nearest whole hour. For hourly rate, enter to the nearest cent, if required.

8. Prepare the August factory overhead cost budget. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.

9. Prepare the August budgeted income statement, including selling expenses. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

Feedback

5. Expected sales plus desired ending inventory minus estimated beginning inventory equals production.
6. Production quantity plus desired ending inventory minus estimated beginning inventory equals amount to be purchased. Multiply quantity by the unit price.
7. Multiply direct labor hours required by the direct labor rate per hour.
8. Show all of the variable costs and all of the fixed costs.
9. Start with budgeted sales.
Add the cost of direct materials used in production, the direct labor, and the factory overhead to the beginning finished goods inventory. Subtract the ending finished goods inventory. Subtract cost of goods sold from sales. Subtract selling expenses.

Herr Mining Company plans to open a new coal mine. Developing the mine will cost

​$10 million right​ away, but cash flows of ​$3 million will arrive starting in one year and then continuing for the next four years​ (i.e., years 2 through​ 5). After​ that, no coal will​ remain, and Herr must spend 21 million to restore the land surrounding the mine to its original condition.

a. Construct a timeline showing the cash flows starting at time zero and extending until time 6.

b. What is the total undiscounted cash flow associated with this project over its​ 6-year life? Given this​ answer, do you think there is any way that the project can be financially attractive to Herr​ Mining? Why or why​ not?

A.The total undiscounted cash flow associated with this project over its​ 6-year life is

negative $ 21 million. This project would not be financially attractive to Herr Mining because based on the total undiscounted cash​ flow, they are spending more than they make.

B.The total undiscounted cash flow associated with this project over its​ 6-year life is

$ 15 million. This project would be financially attractive to Herr Mining because based on the total undiscounted cash​ flow, they are making money.

C.The total undiscounted cash flow associated with this project over its​ 6-year life is

negative $ 16 million. This project would not be financially attractive to Herr Mining because based on the total undiscounted cash​ flow, they are spending more than they make.

D.The total undiscounted cash flow associated with this project over its​ 6-year life is

negative $ 10 million. This project would not be financially attractive to Herr Mining because based on the total undiscounted cash​ flow, they are spending more than they make.

c. Calculate the present value of the​ project's cash​ flows, assuming the​ company's opportunity cost is 66​%.

What if the opportunity cost is 12​%?
