Answer:
Explanation:
Let we assume the number of CD produced be X
So, the total cost would be
C = Fixed cost + variable cost × number of CD produced
= $30,000 + $17X
For total revenue, it would b
R = $63X
For total profit, it would be
P = Selling cost per CD × number of CD produced - variable cost per CD × number of CD produced - fixed cost
= $63X - $17X - $30,000
= $46X - $30,000
For number of CD, it would be
0 = $46X - $30,000
X = $30,000 ÷ $46
= 652 CD for break-even
Answer:
Contribution per unit of scare resource (in hour) = $24 per hour
Explanation:
The question falls under the limiting factor analysis
<em>When a business is faced with a problem of shortage of a resource which can be used to produced more than one product type, to maximize the use of the resource , the business should allocate it for production purpose in such a way that </em><em>it maximizes the contribution per unit of the scare resource.</em>
Therefore Santario Company should allocate the machine hours to maximize the contribution per unit of machine hour.
Contribution per unit of scare resource is determine as follows:
Contribution per unit of scare resource for Model K-3
Contribution per unit of Model K-3 = $6
Machine time per unit = 15 minutes
<em>Contribution per unit of scare resource in minutes</em>
=Contribution per unit/Machine time per unit
= 46/15 minutes
= $0.4 per minute
Contribution per unit of scare resource (in hour)
$0.4 per minutes× 60
= $24 per hour
Answer:
Predatory pricing.
Explanation:
When Lofonift Inc. introduced its flagship product, an MP3 player, it captured the MP3 player market by offering its product at the lowest price in the market. This gradually forced many of its competitors out of business. Once its competitors were out of business, Lofonift Inc. raised its prices. In this scenario, Lofonift Inc. most likely indulged in predatory pricing.
Predatory pricing is a strategy used by some business owners to reduce the cost of a particular commodity or item to the lowest possible amount such that the available competitors will be driven out of business.
Answer:
The correct answer is: oligopoly.
Explanation:
A market structure where there are only a few firms is called an oligopoly market. These firms can be producing either identical products or differentiated products.
Because of few firms, there is a high degree of competition in the market. The firms are price makers and face a downward sloping curve.
There is interdependence in the market such that the economic decisions of a firm affects the price, profits and output level of its rivals. So the firms have to consider the reaction of its rivals before making an economic decision.
Answer:
Lerner index for Botox = 0.9
Explanation:
The Lerner index measures market power in an industry. The formula for calculating the Lerner index is: L = (P - MC) / P
Lerner index for Botox = ($15 - $1.50) / $15 = 0.9
0.9 in the Lerner index means that a company has a very large market power. Under this situation, this is quite logical since Allergen has a monopoly on Botox, at least until the patent expires.
The Lerner index varies between 0 and 1, with 0 being a situation of perfect competition and 1 a monopolistic situation.
