Answer:
a) attached below
b) P( profit ) = TR(q) - TC(q)
c) attached below
d) -$5000 ( loss )
Explanation:
Given data:
Fixed Cost = $10,000
Material cost per unit = $0.15
Labor cost per unit = $0.10
Revenue per unit = $0.65
<u>a) Influence diagram to calculate profit </u>
attached below
<u>b) derive a mathematical model for calculating profit.</u>
VC = variable cost per unit , LC = per unit labor cost , MC = per unit marginal cost, TC = Total cost of manufacturing , FC = Fixed cost, q = quantity, TR = Total revenue, R = revenue per unit
VC = LC + MC
TC (q) = FC + ( VC * q )
TR (q) = R * q
P( profit ) = TR(q) - TC(q) ------------ ( 1 )
c) attached below
<u>d) If Cox Electrics makes 12,000 units of the new product </u>
The resulting profit = -$5000
q = 12
P = TR ( q ) - TC ( q )
= ( R * q ) - ( Fc + ( Vc * q ) )
= ( 0.65 * 12000 ) - ( 10,000 + ( 0.25 * 12000 )
= -$5200

Answer:
Bid-ask spread.
Explanation:
The difference between the price at which a dealer is willing to buy and the price at which a dealer is willing to sell, is called the bid-ask spread.
Simply stated, the bid-ask spread refers to the amount by which the bid price by a dealer is lower than the ask-price for a security or an asset in the market at a specific period of time.
The bid-ask spread exists because of the need for dealers to cover expenses and make a profit. A bid-ask spread is use in the transaction of the following items; options, future contracts, stocks, and currency pairs.
Generally, a dealer who is willing to sell an asset or securities would receive a bid price while the price at which the dealer is willing to sell his asset to another dealer (buyer) is the ask price.
<em>Hence, the bid-ask spread is simply the difference between the ask price and the bid price. Therefore, a bid-ask spread is a measure of the demand and supply for an asset; where demand represents the bid while supply represents the ask for an asset. </em>
Answer:
The correct answer is option C.
Explanation:
One of the goals of the federal reserve banks is to have price stability in the economy. Though price stability does not imply zero inflation. A small level of inflation is good for economy as it helps in growth of production.
So in order to acheive the goal of price stability, the rate of inflation should be low such as 1-3% and it should be consistent.
Very high inflation is harmful for the economy as it erodes the real income and wealth. Deflation is also not good for economy as it causes reduction in production and employment
