Answer:
Total production= 5,840 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales in units:
July= 5,000
August= 5,700
September= 5,560
The company wants to end each month with ending finished goods inventory equal to 25% of the next month's sales. The finished goods inventory on June 30 is 1,250 units.
To determine the production for August, we need to use the following structure:
Production budget:
Sales= 5,700
Desired ending inventory= (5,560*0.25)= 1,390
Beginning inventory= (1,250)
Total production= 5,840 units

Answer: C. Firm A reduces the price to $7 causing Firm B to reduce its price to $4.50.
Explanation:
Since firm A is impatient to earn more profits and Firm B wishes to last in the business for the long-run, then Firm A will reduce the price to $7 causing Firm B to reduce its price to $4.50.
Since Firm A reduces the price to $7, this will lead to an increase in the quantity demanded of the product and therefore the firm can earn more profit. On the other hand, firm B will reduce its price to a point where the price meets the marginal cost which is $4.50.
