3. Problems and Applications Q3 This chapter discusses companies that are oligopolists in the market for the goods they sell. Many of the same ideas apply to companies that are oligopolists in the market for the inputs they buy. If sellers who are oligopolists try to increase the price of goods they sell, the goal of buyers who are oligopolists is to try to decrease the prices of goods they buy. Major league baseball team owners have an oligopoly in the market for baseball players. The owners' goal is to keep players' salaries . True or False: This goal is difficult to achieve because teams have different budgets. True False Baseball players went on strike in 1994 because they would not accept the salary cap that the owners wanted to impose. True or False: The owners felt the need for a salary cap to help prevent any team from cheating. True False

Answers

Answer: 1. Low

2. False

3. False

Explanation:

1. The owners' goal is to keep players' salaries Low.

As the text says, Oligopolist buyers would try to reduce the price of goods that they buy. In the MLB world, the teams are the buyers and the players are the sellers with the salaries being their price. Team owners will therefore try to keep salaries at a low level so that they make more profit.

2. False

This goal is not difficult to achieve due to budget differences but rather because different payers offer varying contributions to the team's game. Some players push the team forward more and hence are able to demand their fair share. This makes it difficult to cap their salaries.

3. False

They only tried to impose the salary cap so that they could reduce the cost of running the basketball teams and not to prevent teams from cheating. The salaries they were paying were high enough that they felt they weren't making enough profit. So they conspired to impose a salary cap so that they could make more profit.

b. $128 per unit
c. $63 per unit
d. $149 per unit

Answers

Answer:

unitary absorption production cost= $128

Explanation:

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

First, we need to calculate the unitary fixed manufacturing overhead:

Unitary fixed overhead= 441,000 / 7,000= $63

Now, the unitary absorption production cost:

unitary absorption production cost= 51 + 12 + 2 + 63

unitary absorption production cost= $128

Omnidata uses the annualized income method to determine its quarterly federal income tax payments. It had $100,000, $50,000, and $90,000 of taxable income for the first, second, and third quarters, respectively ($240,000 in total through the first three quarters). What is Omnidata's annual estimated taxable income for purposes of calculating the third quarter estimated payment?

Answers

Answer: $300,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Taxable income,

First quarter = $100,000

Second quarter = $50,000

Third quarter = $90,000

we need to annualized the cumulative taxable income of first half of the year that will have taxable income for the first and second quarters.

Annualizing the cumulative taxable income:

= 2 × (First quarter taxable income + Second quarter taxable income)  

= 2 × ($100,000 + $50,000)

= $300,000

Therefore, Omnidata's annual estimated taxable income for purposes of calculating the third quarter estimated payment is $300,000.
