Warner Corporation purchased a machine 7 years ago for $405,000 when it launched product P50. Unfortunately, this machine has br

oken down and cannot be repaired. The machine could be replaced by a new model 300 machine costing $396,350 or by a new model 200 machine costing $349,800. Management has decided to buy the model 200 machine. It has less capacity than the model 300 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product P50. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of dropping product P50 and not replacing the old machine. If that were done, the $349,800 invested in the new machine could instead have been invested in a project that would have returned a total of $450,600.
Required:
1. What is the total differential cost regarding the decision to buy the model 200 machine rather than the model 300 machine?
2. What is the total sunk cost regarding the decision to buy the model 200 machine rather than the model 300 machine?
3. What is the total opportunity cost regarding the decision to invest in the model 200 machine?
1. Differential cost
2. Sunk cost
3. Opportunity cost

Answer:

1. $46,550

2. $405,000

3. $450,600

Explanation:

1. Computation of differential cost regarding the decision to buy the model 200

Differential cost = Cost of a new model 300 - Cost of a new model 200

Differential cost = $396,350 - $349,800

Differential cost = $46,550

So, the differential cost regarding decision to buy model 200 is $46,550.

2. Sunk costs are the costs which are already incurred by the entity in the past and which are not relevant to decision made today. In this case, sunk cost is the cost of the machine purchased seven years ago for $405,000.

3. Opportunity cost is the profit forgone by chosen alternative course of action. In this case, the Opportunity cost regarding the decision to invest in the model 200 machine is $450,600.

____ [38]

Answer:

Option C is correct. The American association in 1892 recommended the need to adopt uniform state laws to overcome dozens of issues.

The cultural differences in India is varying after every 100 km distance. However there were some issues too in USA while adopting Uniformity of laws which was loss of opportunities for some businesses in some states.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

$277,000

Explanation:

Break even is the point where neither profit nor a loss is made by the company.

<u>Determination of Break-even Sales</u>

Sales - Variable Expenses - Fixed Expenses = 0

Therefore, Solving Algebraically

Sales = Variable Expenses + Fixed Expenses

         = 222,000 + 55,000

         = 277,000

Therefore Break-even sales for the month for the company is closest to $277,000

Growth of GDP = (DGP of Current/recent period - GDP of Prior period) / DGP of Prior period

In this question prior period is quarter 10 and current /recent period is quarter 11.

So, formula will be

Growth of GDP = (DGP of quarter 11 - GDP of quarter 10) / GDP of quarter 10

As we need to calculate the real GDP growth the formula will be as follow

Growth of real GDP = (Real DGP of quarter 11 - Real GDP of quarter 10) / Real GDP of quarter 10

Growth of real GDP = ($5,252 billion - $4,954 billion) / $4,954 billion

Growth of real GDP = $298 billion / $4,954 billion

Growth of real GDP = 6.02% = 6%

Question. Draw a marginal revenue curve of a perfectly competitive firm and explain why the marginal revenue of a perfectly comp
svp [43]

If AR is constant, MR is equal to AR. Both are indicated by the same horizontal straight line(a situation of perfect competition)

<h3>What is the marginal revenue curve for a perfectly competitive firm?</h3>
  • Marginal revenue for a company with perfect competition is the same as average revenue and pricing.
  • This suggests that at values bigger than the average variable cost, the firm's short-run supply curve is its marginal cost curve.
  • The company closes if the price falls below the average variable cost.

Marginal revenue is the change in total revenue when one more unit of a commodity is sold.

MR= change in TR/change in quantity sold

Average revenue refers to revenue per unit of output.

AR=TR/Q

Relationship between AR and MR:

If AR is constant, MR is equal to AR.

Both are indicated by the same horizontal straight line(a situation of perfect competition)

To learn more about marginal revenue, refer to
