Answer:

Since profit per unit is more in Finished bookcase, book cases shall be finished and then sold.

Additional profit per unit on finished book cases in comparison to unfinished book cases = $17.85 - $12.24 = $5.61 per unit.

Explanation:

Provided, current profit per unit = Selling price - Total cost =  $59.37 - $37.59 - $9.54 = $12.24

This is calculated to know the current profit per unit, without furnishing the bookcase.

In case, the bookcase is furnished then the cost will increase by $5.64 per unit.

That is total cost per unit = $37.59 + $9.54 + $5.64 = $52.77

Revised selling price = $70.62 for each finished unit

Therefore profit pr unit on finished bookcase = $70.62 - $52.77 = $17.85

Since profit per unit is more in Finished bookcase, book cases shall be finished and then sold.

Additional profit per unit on finished book cases in comparison to unfinished book cases = $17.85 - $12.24 = $5.61 per unit.

-Dominant- [34]

Market equilibrium Consider the demand function of tofu given by Qd = 150 – 10p + 5pb and the supply function of tofu given by Q
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

a) Qs = 50 + 20p - 7ps

= 50 + 20p - 7×(2)

= 50 + 20p - 14

= 36 + 20p

At equilibrium, Q_{d} = Q_{s}

So, 150 - 10p + 5p_{b} = 36 + 20p

So, 20p + 10p = 30p

= 150 - 36 + 5p_{b}

= 114 + 5p_{b}

So, p = (114/30) + (5/30)p_{b}

= 3.8 + 0.17p_{b}

Thus, p_{e} = 3.8 + 0.17p_{b}

Q = 36 + 20p

= 36 + 20(3.8 + 0.17p_{b})

= 36 + 76 + 3.4p_{b}

= 112 + 3.4p_{b}

Thus, Q_{e} = 112 + 3.4p_{b}

b) p_{e} = 3.8 + 0.17p_{b}

= 3.8 + 0.17×(5)

= 3.8 + .85

= 4.65

Q_{e} = 112 + 3.4_{b}

= 112 + 3.4(5)

= 112 + 17

= 129

c) Qd = 150 - 10p + 5pb = 150 - 10(2.5) + 5(5) = 150 - 25 + 25 = 150

Qs = 36 + 20p = 36 + 20(2.5) = 36 + 50 = 86

Thus, there is excess demand as Q_{d} > Q_{s}

d) New Q_{d}= 180 - 10p + 5p_{b}

= 180 - 10p + 5×(5)

= 180 - 10p + 25

= 205 - 10p

Now, new Q_{d} = Q_{s} gives,

205 - 10p = 36 + 20p

So, 20p + 10p = 205 - 36

So, 30p = 169

So, p = 169÷30

So, p_{e} = 5.63

Q = 205 - 10p = 205 - 10×(5.63) = 205 - 56.3 = 148.7

So, Q_{e} = 148.7
