A firm has a marginal cost of $20 and charges a price of $40. the lerner index for this firm is 0.50.

<h3>What is Lerner index?</h3>

Lerner index, in economics is a measure of the market power of a firm. Formalized by the Russian-British economist Abba P. Lerner in 1934.

The Lerner index is expressed in the following formula:

Lerner index = P - MC/P

where P represents the price of the good set by the firm and MC represents the firm's marginal cost.

The index measures the percentage markup that a firm is able to charge over its marginal cost.

The index ranges from a low value of 0 to a high of 1.

The higher the value of the Lerner index, the more the firm is able to charge over its marginal cost, hence the greater its monopoly power.

Explanation:

The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per hour by using high low method is shown below:

Variable cost per mile = (High Operating cost - low operating cost) ÷ (High miles - low miles)

= ($845 - $625) ÷ (3,350 miles - 2,250 miles)

= $220 ÷ 1,100 miles

= $0.2 per miles

Now the fixed cost equal to

= High operating cost - (High miles × Variable cost per miles)

= $845 - (3,350 miles × $0.2 per miles)

= $845 - $670

= $175

And, the contribution margin income statement is presented below:

Sales (1,400 × $0.6)                                         $840

Less: Variable cost (1,400 × $0.2)                ($280)

Contribution margin                                        $560

Less: Fixed cost                                               ($175)

Net  operating income                                    $385

If the fixed costs for a product decrease and the variable costs (as a percentage of sales dollars) decrease, what will be the e
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Contribution margin ratio is the difference between the selling price of the product and the variable cost of the product.

Contribution margin ratio = Selling price - Variable cost

Now, if there is a decrease in the fixed costs and variable costs of the product then as a result contribution margin ratio increases because of the fall in variable cost.

Break even point = (Fixed expense ÷ Contribution margin ratio)

If there is an increase in the contribution margin ration and a reduction in the fixed expense then as a result break even point decreases.

Increased; Decreased
