Answer:

4. the benefit associated with a rejected alternative when making a choice.

Explanation:

Opportunity costs refer to the foregone benefit as a result of choosing one option over the another. It is the value of the missed best alternative. For example, with $100, one can either watch a movie or have a meal. If having a meal is chosen, the joy derived from watching the movie is the opportunity cost.

Opportunity cost is occasioned by the scarcity of resources, including time. Individuals and firms have to make economic choices every day. The sacrificed benefit in every decision is the opportunity cost.

Leni [432]

Answer:

A) to calculate the break even point we can use the following:

break even point = fixed costs / contribution margin

break even point = 125,000 / (9 - 6.5) = 125,000 / 2.5 = 50,000 units

The company must sell over 50,000 units to make a profit

B) if the unit production costs increase 10%, the new unit cost will be $7.15, and the new break even point will be: 125,000 / (9 - 7.15) = 125,000 / 1.85 = 67,567.6 which we round up to 67,568 units.

Now the company must sell at least 67,568 units to make a profit

C) If the company wants to increase its product price to a level where the break even point is 50,000 units, then the new price should be $9.65.

The contribution margin must be $2.5, so if the production costs are $7.15, we just add $2.5 to get $9.65 per unit.
