Answer:

29,143

Explanation:

Profit target = 25% on sales

Fixed cost = $51,000

Variable cost = $9.50 per unit

Sales price per unit = $15

To achieve profit target, let the number of units sold be y

Total sales = 15y

Total variable cost = 9.5y

Profit = 0.25 × 15y

         = 3.75y

Sales - Cost = profit

15y - (51000 + 9.5y) = 3.75y

15y - 9.5y - 3.75y = 51000

1.75y = 51000

y = 51000/1.75

y = 29143

29,143 bears must be sold to meet the profit goal.

denis23 [38]

Answer:

It should be greater than $36

Explanation:

The opportunity cost of working is the amount of money sacrificed or could have earned if the individual was not working. In this case, Claire has decided to go with her friend which means that the opportunity cost of not working is less than the benefits receives from going out. Because she is not working it means that the opportunity cost of working is more than 36 dollars, which is the income she could have earned in 3 hours.

Varto Company has 12,600 units of its sole product in inventory that it produced last year at a cost of $31 each. This year’s mo
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

It is more profitable to sell the units as-is.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of units= 12,600

Varto has two alternatives for these items:

(1) they can be sold to a wholesaler for $13 each

(2) they can be processed further for $272,300 and then sold for $34 each.

The first cost of $31 is a sunk cost, it will remain no matter which option is chosen. We will not take it into account for the decision making process.

Option 1:

Effect on income= 12,600*13= $163,800

Option 2:

Effect on income= 12,600*34 - 272,300= $156,100

It is more profitable to sell the units as-is.

gladu [14]

Answer:

400

Explanation:

Qd = 45 - 2P

Qd    = -15 + P

45 - 2P = P - 15

60 = 3P

60/3 = P = 20

Q = 45 - 2*20 = 5

Q = -15+20 = 5

The quantity will be 5 and price 20

<u>Now we will caclulate the consumer surplus:</u>

Which the area of the demand curve above the equilibrium.

We calculate he area of a triangle:

base x high / 2

\frac{(45-5)\times20}{2}

consumer surplus = 400

Consider the following marginal cost function. a. Find the additional cost incurred in dollars when production is increased from
weqwewe [10]

Answer:   (a) $197,500

(b) $ 189,500

Explanation:

Given : The marginal cost function : C′​(x)=4000−0.4x

To find the cost function, we need to integrate the above function with respect to x.

Now, the additional cost incurred in dollars when production is increased from 100 units to 150 units will be:-

\int^{150}_{100}\ C'(x)\ dx\\\\=\int^{150}_{100} (4000-0.4x)\ dx\\\\=[4000x-\dfrac{0.4x^2}{2}]^{150}_{100}\\\\=[4000(150)-\dfrac{0.4(150)^2}{2}-4000(100)+\dfrac{0.4(100)^2}{2}]\\\\=[600000-4500-400000+2000]\\\\=197500

Hence, the additional cost incurred in dollars when production is increased from 100 units to 150 units= $197,500

Similarly,  the additional cost incurred in dollars when production is increased from 500 units to 550 units :-

\int^{550}_{500}\ C'(x)\ dx\\\\=\int^{550}_{500} (4000-0.4x)\ dx\\\\=[4000x-\dfrac{0.4x^2}{2}]^{550}_{500}\\\\=[4000(550)-\dfrac{0.4(550)^2}{2}-4000(500)+\dfrac{0.4(500)^2}{2}]\\\\=[2200000-60500-2000000+50000]\\\\=189,500

Hence, the additional cost incurred in dollars when production is increased from 500 units to 550 units = $ 189,500
