Answer:
Optimal package size = 4 units
Optimal package price = $20
Explanation:
P = 8 - 1.5Q and C(Q) = 2.0Q, MC = 2
To obtain optimal package size, we put
Price is equal to the marginal cost, P = MC
8 - 1.5Q = 2
1.5Q = 6
Q = 6 ÷ 1.5
= 4
Therefore,
Optimal package size = 4 units
Hence,
Optimal package price:
= 0.5[8 - 2] × 4 + 2 × 4
= 12 + 8
= $20
Answer:
for $16000 plan B is better than A
Explanation:
We are searching for the stage where Plan A's compensation is less than Plan B's compensation.
Plan A < Plan B
let total of Curt's sales be the x,
x is the basis of the commission under Plan A, but the first 5000 of sales are excluded i.e (x - 5000) from the basis of commissions under Plan B.
350 + x(0.10) < 750 + (x - 5000)(0.15)
800 -750 < (0.15) x - 5000(0.15) - (0.10)x
50 < (0.15 - 0.10)x - 750
50+750 < (0.05)x
800 < (0.05)x
16000 < x
Answer: $175

Here we can see that the business discussion happened only at dinner.
After Dinner they went for entertainment at the Cinema so that amount is not deductible as a business Expense.
The only amount deductible is the $350 for the meal.

= 350 * 0.5
= $175
$175 is amount of the expenditures that Holly can deduct as a business expense.
