Qwik Service has over 200 auto-maintenance service outlets nationwide. It provides primarily two lines of service: oil changes a

Ann [662]

Answer:

A. The answer is:

Oil-related revenue = 0.75 x 40,000,000 = $30,000,000;

Repair-related revenue = 0.25 x 40,000,000 = $10,000,000

B. The answer is:

Oil-related revenue = 0.75 x 350,000 = $262,500;

Repair-related revenue = 0.25 x 350,000 = $87,500.

Explanation:

A.

Denote X is the total revenue Qwik Service has to earn.

We have:

Oil charge-related revenue: 0.75X; Oil charge-related margin 0.2 x 0.75X = 0.15X

Brake repair-related revenue: 0.25X; Brake repair-related margin: 0.25X x 0.6 = 0.15X.

=> Total contribution margin = 0.15X + 0.15X = 0.3X

To meet break-even, the total contribution margin should be equal to fixed cost or: 0.3X = 12,000,000 <=> X = $40,000,000

=> Oil-related revenue = 0.75 x 40,000,000 = $30,000,000;

Repair-related revenue = 0.25 x 40,000,000 = $10,000,000.

B.

The note Y is the total revenue per one outlet.

At one outlet, revenue and margin will be:

Oil charge-related revenue: 0.75X; Oil charge-related margin 0.2 x 0.75X = 0.15X

Brake repair-related revenue: 0.25X; Brake repair-related margin: 0.25X x 0.6 = 0.15X.

=> Total contribution margin = 0.15X + 0.15X = 0.3X

To meet net income target of $45,000, the total contribution margin should be equal to fixed cost of $60,000 and delivering $45,000 net income or: 0.3X = 45,000 + 60,000 <=> X = $350,000.

=> Oil-related revenue = 0.75 x 350,000 = $262,500;

Repair-related revenue = 0.25 x 350,000 = $87,500.

Deadweight loss is the a. decline in government revenue when taxes are reduced in a market. b. decline in consumer surplus when

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

D, decline in total surplus that results from a tax.

Explanation:

Dead-weight loss is also known as excess burden. It is a situation where in there is a loss of economic sufficiency as a result of tax.

This economic sufficiency is when the supply of goods and services aren't met. That is, there is no market equilibrium between demand and supply. Taxes, subsidies, price rise or fall can be the reason for dead-weight loss as it causes the imbalance of demand and supply of goods or services to the consumers through price manipulations.

To calculate dead-weight loss, change in price as well as change in quantity demanded are important factors to consider.

Cheers.
