Answer:
Any movement which is caused by price will be along the demand curve and any other movement caused by non price factors will shift the demand curve.
1) A decrease in the number of consumers is a non price movement so the demand curve will shift leftwards because of it.
2) A change in taste of consumers making them desire more hot dogs is a non price movement and it will shift the demand curve to the right.
3) An increase in the price of hot dogs is a price movement and this will cause movement along the demand curve.
Explanation:
The company used straight line depreciation based on number of units produced. This can be shown as follows:
Cost = $100,000
Life = 5 years or 18,000 units
Salvage value = $10,000
By straight line method;
Depreciation cost per unit = (100,000-10,000)/18,000 = $5
After producing 4,400 units, depreciation expense = 4,400*5 = $22,000.
Answer:
She should stay open, because the revenue of from dog grooming ($30 per dog), is still high enough to cover her variable cost of $20 per dog, even though she is operating at a loss.
Explanation:
Profit = Revenue - Total costs
Total costs = Fixed costs + variable costs
Profit = $30 - $35 = -$5 per dog
This shows she is operating at a loss of $5 per dog.
If a company does not make enough revenue to cover its total costs, then it is operating at a loss.
However such a company must consider its variable cost before deciding whether to shut down.
A company should only shut down if it is unable to make enough revenue to cover its variable cost.
If a company is operating at a loss but can at least cover its variable cost, then it should stay open at least in the short run.
Answer:
1,000,000
Explanation:
As there are constant returns to scale the cost to produce a greater output will grow following a linear fucntion thus,
if 100 units units are produced at a cost of 200,000 dolllars
then 500 units will be produced five times that amount:
200,000 x 500/100 = 200,000 x 5 = 1,000,000
The total cost for 500 units will be a million dollars
