Schweser Satellites Inc. produces satellite earth stations that sell for $105,000 each. The firm's fixed costs, F, are $3 million, 50 earth stations are produced and sold each year, profits total $600,000, and the firm's assets (all equity financed) are $4 million. The firm estimates that it can change its production process, adding $3 million to assets and $400,000 to fixed operating costs. This change will reduce variable costs per unit by $10,000 and increase output by 20 units. However, the sales price on all units must be lowered to $100,000 to permit sales of the additional output. The firm has tax loss carryforwards that render its tax rate zero, its cost of equity is 13%, and it uses no debt. What is the incremental profit? Enter your answer in dollars. For example, an answer of $4 million should be entered as 4,000,000, not 4. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

During the year, the delph company had no beginning or ending inventories and it started, completed, and sold only two jobs—job d-75 and job c-100. it provided the following information related to those two jobs: job d-75: molding fabrication total direct materials cost $ 375,000 $ 325,000 $ 700,000 direct labor cost $ 200,000 $ 160,000 $ 360,000 machine-hours 15,000 5,000 20,000 job c-100: molding fabrication total direct materials cost $ 300,000 $ 250,000 $ 550,000 direct labor cost $ 175,000 $ 225,000 $ 400,000 machine-hours 5,000 25,000 30,000delph had no overapplied or underapplied manufacturing overhead during the year. assume delph uses a plantwide overhead rate based on machine-hours.1-a. compute the predetermined plantwide overhead rate.1-b. compute the total manufacturing costs assigned to job d-70 and job c-200.1-c. if delph establishes bid prices that are 150% of total manufacturing costs, what bid price would it have established for job d-70 and job c-200? 1-d. what is delph's cost of goods sold for the year? assume delph uses departmental overhead rates based on machine-hours.2-a. compute the predetermined departmental overhead rates.2-b. compute the total manufacturing costs assigned to job d-70 and job c-200.2-c. if delph establishes bid prices that are 150% of total manufacturing costs, what bid price would it have established for job d-70 and job c-200? 2-d. what is delph's cost of goods sold for the year?

An increase in the market price of men's haircuts, from $16 per haircut to $26 per haircut, initially causes a local barbershop to have its employees work overtime to increase the number of daily haircuts provided from 20 to 25. when the $26 market price remains unchanged for several weeks and all other things remain equal as well, the barbershop hires additional employees and provides 40 haircuts per day. what is the short-run price elasticity of supply? nothing (your answer should have two decimal places.) what is the long-run price elasticity of supply? nothing (your answer should have two decimal places.)

Later movers do not face: entrenched competitors. reduced uncertainty over technologies. high growth markets. lower market uncertainty.
