The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses in its budgeting and performance reports—the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 61 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below:

Fixed Cost per Month Cost per Course Cost per
Student
Instructor wages $ 2,940
Classroom supplies $ 270
Utilities $ 1,200 $ 80
Campus rent $ 4,800
Insurance $ 2,100
Administrative expenses $ 3,900 $ 42 $ 4

For example, administrative expenses should be $3,900 per month plus $42 per course plus $4 per student. The company’s sales should average $880 per student.

The company planned to run four courses with a total of 61 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 57 students. The actual operating results for September appear below:

Actual
Revenue $ 50,780
Instructor wages $ 11,040
Classroom supplies $ 16,320
Utilities $ 1,930
Campus rent $ 4,800
Insurance $ 2,240
Administrative expenses $ 3,738

Required:

Prepare a flexible budget performance report that shows both revenue and spending variances and activity variances for September. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)

Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false and why (reasons in support of your answer):
(a) Economies of scale arise because of the inverse relationship between the quantity produced and per unit fixed costs.
(b) In theory, monopolists and oligopolists operating in contestable markets may benefit consumers more than firms operating under conditions of perfect competition.
(c) Suppose that a profit maximizing monopolist has a constant marginal cost equal to 6 and faces the following inverse demand: . The Learner’s Index at profit maximizing price is 0.76.
(d) If the concentration ratio for an industry is small, then the Herfindahl index is likely to be large.
(e) The economic theory of regulation holds that regulation is a response by government to cases in which number of firms in the industry should be limited.
(f) Sometimes market leaders in particular product markets have lost their leadership to new entrants.
(g) A Nash equilibrium results when every firm in an industry chooses a strategy that is optimal given the strategies chosen by its competitors.
(h) If a shoe shop were to take over a shoe manufacturing company, it would be a case of horizontal integration.
(i) In market structure/condition where firms have market power, the marginal revenue curve always will be above the average revenue curve.
(j) Suppose that the five firms in industry A have annual sales of 30, 30, 20, 10, and 10 percent of total industry sales. For the five firms in industry B, the figures are 60, 25, 5, 5, and 5 percent. The Herfindahl index of industry A is greater than industry B.

Consider the market for potatoes. You can assume perfect competition.
It is known that the market equilibrium price is $3 per kg and the market equilibrium quantity is 100,000 kg. It is known that when the price is $3 price elasticity of demand is 0.4 and price elasticity of supply is 1.1. Assume that initially the market for potatoes is in equilibrium.
a)   Draw a diagram with (downward-sloping) demand and (upward-sloping) supply schedules. Indicate the market equilibrium, consumer surplus, producer surplus and the dead-weight loss. (Remember the relation between elasticity and the absolute slope of the demand and supply schedules. You do not have to be precise, just make sure it is clear which schedule is steeper).

You answer.

b)   If the price increases by 5% what would be the percentage change of quantity demanded? What would be the new quantity demanded? If the price increases from $3 to $3.03 what would be the new quantity producers would be willing to supply?

You answer.

c)   The government decides to introduce a 10% tax on the price of potatoes. How would such a decision affect the equilibrium price (paid by consumers) and the equilibrium quantity? Explain using a clearly labelled graph. (Note that you are not required to calculate anything in this question.)

You answer.

d)   What would happen to consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue and the dead-weight loss when the 10% tax on the price of potatoes is implemented. Explain. Show the new consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue and the dead-weight loss on the graph in part c). Who bears higher tax burden, consumers or producers? Explain.

You answer.
