Balance sheet the assets of dallas & associates consist entirely of current assets and net plant and equipment. the firm has total assets of $2 5 million and net plant and equipment equals $2 million. it has notes payable of $150,000, long-term debt of $750,000, and total common equity of $1 5 million. the firm does have accounts payable and accruals on its balance sheet. the firm only finances with debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock on its balance sheet. a. what is the company's total debt? b. what is the amount of total liabilities and equity that appears on the firm's balance sheet? c. what is the balance of current assets on the firm's balance sheet? d. what is the balance of current liabilities on the firm's balance sheet? e. what is the amount of accounts payable and accruals on its balance sheet?

5. profit maximization and shutting down in the short run suppose that the market for polos is a competitive market. the following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in this market. 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 price (dollars per polo) quantity (thousands of polos) mc atc avc for each price in the following table, calculate the firm's optimal quantity of units to produce, and determine the profit or loss if it produces at that quantity, using the data from the previous graph to identify its total variable cost. assume that if the firm is indifferent between producing and shutting down, it will produce. (hint: you can select the purple points [diamond symbols] on the previous graph to see precise information on average variable cost.) price quantity total revenue fixed cost variable cost profit (dollars per polo) (polos) (dollars) (dollars) (dollars) (dollars) 12.50 135,000 27.50 135,000 45.00 135,000 if the firm shuts down, it must incur its fixed costs (fc) in the short run. in this case, the firm's fixed cost is $135,000 per day. in other words, if it shuts down, the firm would suffer losses of $135,000 per day until its fixed costs end (such as the expiration of a building lease). this firm's shutdown price—that is, the price below which it is optimal for the firm to shut down—is per polo.
