Atoll bridge across the mississippi river is being considered as a replacement for the current i-40 bridge linking tennessee to arkansas. because this bridge, if approved, will become a part of the u. s. interstate highway system, the b-c ratio method must be applied in the evaluation. investment costs of the structure are estimated to be $17 comma 800 comma 000, and $340 comma 000 per year in operating and maintenance costs are anticipated. in addition, the bridge must be resurfaced every fourth year of its 20-year projected life at a cost of $1 comma 210 comma 000 per occurrence (no resurfacing cost in year 20). revenues generated from the toll are anticipated to be $2 comma 300 comma 000 in its first year of operation, with a projected annual rate of increase of 2.75% per year due to the anticipated annual increase in traffic across the bridge. assuming zero market (salvage) value for the bridge at the end of 20 years and a marr of 12% per year, should the toll bridge be constructed? also, assume that the initial surfacing of the bridge is included in the initial investment costs of the structure.

For each of the following cases determine the ending balance in the inventory account. (hint: first, determine the total cost of inventory available for sale. next, subtract the cost of the inventory sold to arrive at the ending balance.)a. jill’s dress shop had a beginning balance in its inventory account of $40,000. during the accounting period jill’s purchased $75,000 of inventory, returned $5,000 of inventory, and obtained $750 of purchases discounts. jill’s incurred $1,000 of transportation-in cost and $600 of transportation-out cost. salaries of sales personnel amounted to $31,000. administrative expenses amounted to $35,600. cost of goods sold amounted to $82,300.b. ken’s bait shop had a beginning balance in its inventory account of $8,000. during the accounting period ken’s purchased $36,900 of inventory, obtained $1,200 of purchases allowances, and received $360 of purchases discounts. sales discounts amounted to $640. ken’s incurred $900 of transportation-in cost and $260 of transportation-out cost. selling and administrative cost amounted to $12,300. cost of goods sold amounted to $33,900.a& b. cost of goods avaliable for sale? ending inventory?

Because this market is a monopolistically competitive market, you can tell that it is in long-run equilibrium by the fact thatmr=mc at the optimal quantity for each firm. furthermore, a monopolistically competitive firm's average total cost in long-run equilibrium isless than the minimum average total cost. true or false: this indicates that there is a markup on marginal cost in the market for engines. true false monopolistic competition may also be socially inefficient because there are too many or too few firms in the market. the presence of the externality implies that there is too little entry of new firms in the market.
