Answer:
a. Accept the order
b. Increase in short-term profit of $50,000
Explanation:
<em>Note : Blowing Sand has "enough excess capacity" this means that fixed cost will be the same in the range or they will be ocurred whether or not the special order is accepted.</em>
Therefore fixed costs are Irrelevant for this decision.
<u>Incremental Costs and Revenues - accept the special order</u>
Sales ( 10,000 units × $22 each) $220,000
<em>Less</em> Variable Costs ( 10,000 units × $17each) ($170,000)
Net Income $50,000
The special order will result in an increase in short term profit of $50,000. Therefore, Blowing Sand Company should accept the order.
The law of increasing opportunity costs is reflected in a production possibilities curve that is concave to the origin.
We would need to see the graph, but the equilibrium point is where the wage paid is equal to the supply of workers. On a graph, this would be the point where the two lines intersect. That is the point where the supply of people willing to do the job at a certain rate, meets the company's demand for workers and the rate they are willing to pay.
Answer:
d. to allocate goods when there is a price ceiling.
Explanation:
Non price rationing or queuing is a measure used when there is a price ceiling, queuing is used to arrange people on a first come first serve basis.
Rationing is done on the non monetary cost of waiting in line.
Waiting time eventually balances buyer equillibrum. When customer's are waiting on queues for too long some of them loose interest and leave, this restoring balance between what is available and number of people waiting to buy.
