Self-interest of course! Though you gave us no clue as to who is Adam... You can tell it's mostly self-interest due to the fact that he hasn't taken any class or anything on it. Looks to me that he genuinely just loves cooking!

Answer:

<u>Self-interest.</u>

Explanation:

Self-interest can be described as the set of actions that will help an individual achieve certain benefits.

For Adam Smith, when people act in their own personal interests, the greatest economic benefit is achieved, that is, self-interest and competition are the two major motivating forces capable of shaping economic activity, for individuals and companies possess the increased resources available such as labor and capital to achieve benefits from market activities to satisfy self-interest and thus boost supply and demand for goods and services.

1. What is the revised net operating income if unit sales increase by 16%? 2. What is the revised net operating income if the se
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

1) NOI = $90,240

2) NOI = 29,250

3) NOI = 133,260

4) NOI = 110,190

Explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete.</em>

<em />

<em>Sales (38,000 units)      $342,000     ($9.00 per unit)</em>

<em>Variable expenses        $228,000     ($6.00 per unit)</em>

<em>Contribution margin        $114,000     ($3.00 per unit)</em>

<em>Fixed expenses                $42,000 </em>

<em>Net operating income      $72,000</em>

1. What is the revised net operating income if unit sales increase by 16%

If unit sales increase, we can calculate this with a 16% increase in the contribution margin.

NOI=CM*(1+0.16)-FE=114,000*1.16-42,000=132,240-42,000\\\\NOI=90,240

2. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price decreases by $1.50 per unit and the number of units sold increases by 25%?

A reduction of $1.50 in price means a reduction of the same amount in the contribution margin per unit (CMu), as the variable expenses stay the same .

Also, the contribution margin increases by 25%, for the increase in units sold (q).

NOI=CM_u*q-FE=(3.00-1.50)*(38,000*1.25)-42,000\\\\NOI=1.5*47,500-42,000=71,250-42,000\\\\NOI=29,250

3. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price increases by $1.50 per unit, fixed expenses increase by $6,000, and the number of units sold decreases by 6%?

The selliing price will be added to the contribution margin per unit.

The units sold are increased 6%.

NOI=CMu*q-FE=(3.00+1.50)*38,000*1.06-(42,000+6,000)\\\\NOI=4.5*40,280-48,000=181,260-48,000\\\\NOI=133,260

4. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price per unit increases by 20%, variable expenses increase by 30 cents per unit, and the number of units sold decreases by 11%?

The contribution margin per unit, with a increase in price and an increase in variable cost, becomes:

CM_u=P-VE_u=9.00*(1.20)-(6.00+0.30)=10.80-6.30=4.50

The units sold is now:

q'=(1-0.11)q=0.89q=0.89*38,000=33,820

Then, the net operating income becomes:

NOI=CM_u*q-FE=4.5*33,820-42,000=152,190-42,000\\\\NOI=110,190
