Joe Jenkins, the owner of Jenkins Manufacturing, is considering whether to produce a new product. Joe will be selling the produc

t for a price of $70 per unit. If he uses the current equipment, Joe estimates the fixed costs per year to be $40,000 and variable costs for each unit produced to be $50. However, Joe is considering the purchase of new equipment that would produce the product more efficiently. Joe’s fixed cost would be raised to $60,000 per year, but the variable cost would be reduced to $25 per unit. If Joe's demand forecast is 900 units, should Joe produce the product using the existing or the new equipment? Produce using the existing equipment. Produce using the new equipment. Does not matter, which equipment is used. The product should not be produced at all.

Answer:

Jenkins Manufacturing

Joe should produce using the new equipment.

Explanation:

a) Costs incurred using the old equipment:

Variable costs = $45,000 ($50 x 900)

Fixed costs = $40,000

Total costs = $85,000

Operating Loss = $22,000 ($63,000 - 85,000)

b) Costs incurred using the new equipment:

Variable costs = $22,500 ($25 x 900)

Fixed costs = $60,000

Total costs = $82,500

Operating Loss = $19,500 ($63,000 - 82,500)

Production using the new equipment would reduce the operating loss by $2,500.

Monopolies are bad; patents give firms monopoly;therefore, patents are bad. true of false? why?
TEA [102]

The answer is true. A monopoly is where a company, a group or individual has the power of controlling or possessing supply or trade while patent is where the government provides authority or license. If the monopoly is considered to be bad, the patent will also be bad as it is associated with a particular thing that has a purpose of doing bad since a patent is the agreement, the patent is likely to allow the monopoly do something that is bad or illegal as monopoly has the purpose of doing something bad.

Leona [35]
A perfectly competitive market is a market where all competitors are very small businesses, supply prices are perfectly elastic, all goods sold are the same(no branding), abnormal profits can only be made in the short run
Perfect competition is a theoretical model so there is no real world example in our world an example I find easy is the milk market since the good is the same no matter the brand and the amount of branding is minimal and there is usually a good amount of competitors in a country

Roasters Corporation and Outdoor Barbecues, Inc., enter into a contract for a sale of a commercial grill. The contract requires
vekshin1

Answer:

A) Roasters delivers the goods to Speedy

Explanation:

Risk of loss under the law of contracts is used to determine which party should bear the burden of risk for damage occurring to goods after the sale has been completed, but before delivery has occurred. This is normally used after the contract is formed but before buyer receives goods, something bad happens.

  1. The breaching rule applies risk of loss on the seller if at the time of delivery, the goods show up broken.
  2. Risk of loss shifts from seller to buyer at the time that seller completes its delivery obligations
  3. For a destination contract, then risk of loss is on the seller
  4. For a delivery contract, then risk of loss is on the seller
  5. if the seller is a merchant, then the risk of loss shifts to the buyer upon buyer's "receipt" of the goods. If the buyer never takes possession, then the seller still has the risk of loss
