Answer:

b) $20

Explanation:

The minimum acceptable price per unit is $20.

This is because the minimum acceptable price is the break even price for the division. We will not include $7 fixed cost because it is not relevant to this transaction as it has to be paid regardless of this transfer.

The Minimum price thus is the price that cancels out all relevant costs namely the variable costs of $20.

Relevant costs are also known as the incremental costs that are incurred only when a particular activity is undertaken. Fixed costs as such are not incremental. Since there is spare capacity we are not forgoing any profits from external exchanges that needs to be accounted for.

Hope this helps

If, in a monopoly market, the demand for a product is
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Explanation:

If, in a monopoly market, the demand for a product is

p = 140 − 0.50x

and the revenue function is

R = px,

where x is the number of units sold, what price will maximize revenue?

The revenue function R=x(140-0.50x)

                                         =140x-0.50x ^ 2

In a monopoly revenue is maximized when marginal revenue is zero.  

DR/dx=0= 140x-0.50x ^ 2

 x=140

When x=140 the demand =140-(140*0.5) is 70.

The revenue will be 140*70= $9,800.

Lesechka [4]

Most corporations count revenue, not when payment is received, as when sales occur.

Explanation:

1. Doubtful accounts or account holders, in which you fear you will not be paid, are excluded from taxes, which raises the net income recorded by the corporation.

2. Not as a boss with her property. She shall be an agent as a boss working for the good of the business owner. When the only reason she makes improvements to her accounts is to maximize her salary, she places her own future in the hands of the interests of the company / owner. Especially as it may affect the company's decision making by changing its net income. Unless she has a valid reason to reduce questionable figures of account, Then she did not commit an ethical breach but as the trigger makes clear she takes her decisions on the grounds of the desire to reduce her own income, even though she is no more the owner's loyal employee.

3. In any incident that an accounting transition affects the remuneration of the manager, the manager should provide a short justification that should be submitted to the owner or the board of directors.
