If a producer offers a price that is in excess of a consumer’s valuation of the good, the consumer:
  • Will refuse to purchase the good
Suppose total benefits and total costs are given by B(Y) = 100Y – 8Y2 and C(Y) = 10Y2. What is the maximum level of net benefits?
  • 139
Suppose total benefits and total costs are given by B(Y) = 100Y – 8Y2 and C(Y) = 10Y2. What level of Y will yield the maximum net benefits?
  • 100/36
Suppose total benefits and total costs are given by B(Y) = 100Y – 8Y2 and C(Y) = 10Y2. Then marginal costs are:
  • 20Y
Suppose total benefits and total costs are given by B(Y) = 100Y – 8Y2 and C(Y) = 10Y2. Then marginal benefits are:
  • 100 - 16Y
The additional cost incurred by using an additional unit of the managerial control variable is defined as the:
  • Marginal cost
The additional benefits that arise by using an additional unit of the managerial control variable is defined as the:
  • Marginal benefit
To maximize profits, a firm should continue to increase production of a good until:
  • Marginal revenue equals marginal cost
Suppose the interest rate is five percent, the expected growth rate of the firm is two percent, and the firm is expected to continue forever. If current profits are $1,000, what is the value of the firm?
  • $35,000

A firm will have constant profits of $100,000 per year for the next four years and the interest rate is six percent. Assuming these profits are realized at the end of each year, what is the present value these future profits?

  • $400,000

A farm must decide whether or not to purchase a new tractor. The tractor will reduce costs by $2,000 in the first year, $2,500 in the second and $3,000 in the third and final year of usefulness. The tractor costs $9,000 today, while the above cost savings will be realized at the end of each year. If the interest rate is seven percent, what is the net present value of purchasing the tractor?
