- Analyse the impact of Covid-19 on the industry and the economy of IndiaThe demand for electricity in the Lake Woebegon region is Qd(p) = 100−10p. Quantity is measured in GWh per year and price in monetary units (MU) per GWh. The consumer price of electricity consists of the price of electricity, which can be bought in the competitive electricity market at 2 MU/GWh, and the transmission price. The transmission of electricity from sellers to buyers is provided by the PowerGrid Corporation. The annualized cost of maintaining a power grid with a transmission capacity of k GWh is c(k) = 30 + k MU. What is the transmission capacity, consumer price of electricity, yearly consumer surplus, PowerGrid’s profit, and total surplus, in each of the following cases? (a) PowerGrid Corp sets the price of transmission to maximize profits. (b) PowerGrid Corp sets the price of transmission to maximize total welfare, subject to the constraint that it cannot make a loss. (c) The fixed costs of maintaining transmission capacity increase a little bit. What kind of impact does…The market demand for a monopoly firm is estimated to be: Qd = 80,000 -400P + 3M + 2000PR where Q is output, P is price, M is income, and PR is the price of a related good.

- A large company in the communication and publishing industry has quantified the relationship between the price of one of its products and the demand for this product as Price = 150−0.01 × Demand for an annual printing of this particular product. The fixed costs per year (i.e., per printing) = $50,000 and the variable cost per unit=$40. What is the maximum profit that can be achieved if the maximum expected demand is 6,000 units per year? What is the unit price at this point of optimal demand?A major South African city generates electricity and sells it to its consumers. The city faces competition from independentrenewable power producers who also have licences to sell electricity to the public. The city however has cost advantagesdue to its size, but it is concerned of the political and economic ramifications of raising its tariffs, in these uncertaineconomic times. As a result, it is highly likely that tariffs will remain unchanged over the next financial year. The city’smarginal revenue is given as R3 000, and its costs are given as follows:TC = R82 000 + R1 000 + 0.01q2 MCMC= R1 000 + R0.02q4.1 Assess the efficiency arguments in favour of and against the renewable energy generation in SouthAfricathis assessment correct? what would be the interpretation to answer this question? If capacity for producing the A2B timer component is in fact limited, and therefore each sale of the household timer will eliminate the sale of an A2B component, how would you measure the household timer’s profitability?
- Burlington Motor Carriers, a trucking company, is considering the installation of a two-way mobile satellite messaging service on its 2,000 trucks. From tests done last year on 120 trucks, the company found that satellite messaging could cut 60% of its $5 million bill for long-distance communications with truck drivers. More importantly, the drivers who used this system reduced the number of "deadhead" miles-those driven without paying loads-by 0.5%. Applying that improvement to all 230 million miles covered by the Burlington fleet each year would produce an extra $1.25 million in savings. Equipping all 2,000 trucks with the satellite hookup will require an investment of $8 million and the construction of a message-relaying system costing $2 million. The equipment and onboard devices will have a service life of eight years and negligible salvage value; they will be depreciated under the five-year MACRS class. Burlington's marginal tax rate is about 38%, and its required minimum…The A-1 Corporation supplies airplane manufacturers with preformed sheet metal panels that are used on the exterior of aircraft. Manufacturing these panels requires only five sheet metal–forming machines, which cost $500 each, and workers. These workers can be hired on an as-needed basis in the labor market at $9,000 each. Given the simplicity of the manufacturing process, the preformed sheet metal panel market is highly competitive. Therefore, the market price for one of A-1’s panels is $80. Based on the production data in the accompanying table, how many workers should A-1 hire to maximize its profits?Your client, InsureCorp, is an insurance company considering launching an ‘income insurance’ product in the island nation of Autarka. Income insurance is a product that fully insures a household against changes in income caused by a major injury or illness. At present, no businesses are selling income insurance products in Autarka. Initial market research suggests that there are 10,000 households in Autarka interested in purchasing income insurance. Your client expects that the fixed cost of launching the income insurance product will be $20,000,000 per year, and that each policy issued to a customer will cost the company an additional $1,500 in sales commissions. What is the maximum price the company can charge a household for an income insurance policy? What is the expected profit (or loss) for the company if it becomes a monopoly provider of income insurance? Is there a risk that rival insurance companies will also enter the market, selling identical income insurance products? If…
- Sunshine Smoothies Company (SSC) manufactures and distributes smoothies. It is considering the "weight loss" smoothies project. The project would require a $4 million investment outlay today The after-tax cash flows would depend on consumers’ demand. There is a 30% chance that demand will be good, and the project will produce after-tax cash flows of $2 million at the end of each year for the next 3 years. There is a 70% chance that demand will be poor, and the project will produce after-tax cash flows of $1 million at the end of each year for the next 3 years. The project is riskier than the firm's other projects, so it has a WACC of 12%. - The firm will know whether the project is success or not after receiving first year's cash flows from normal operating.. - After receiving the first year's cash flows (no matter what receive $1M or $2M in the first year), the firm will have the option to abandon the project. - If the firm decides to abandon the project, the company will no longer…A local restaurateur who had been running a profitable business for many years, recently purchased a three-way liquor license. This on-premise license gives the owner the legal right to sell beer, wine, and spirits in her restaurant. The cost of obtaining the three-way license was about $90,000, since only 300 such licenses are issued by the state. While the license is transferable, only $75,000 is refundable if the owner chooses not to use the license. After selling alcoholic beverages for about one year, the restaurateur came to the realization that she was losing dining customers and that her profitable restaurant was turning into a noisy, unprofitable bar. Subsequently, she spent about $8,000 placing advertisements in various newspapers and restaurant magazines across the state offering to sell the license for $80,000. After a long wait, she finally received one offer to purchase her license for $77,000. a) Would you recommend that she accept the $77,000 offer? b) The restaurateur…Failure to comply with the CPD program under RA 10912 will automatically revoke the license of the CPA.
