Answer:

charged to maximize profits is 40.5

Explanation:

given data

P = 78 - 15 Q

Q = Q1 + Q2

MC1 = 3Q1

MC2 = 2Q2

solution

we get here first total revenue and marginal revenue that is

total revenue TR = P × Q   ............................1

total revenue TR = 78Q - 15Q²

so

marginal revenue MR = \frac{change\ in\ TR}{change\ in\ Q}    

marginal revenue MR = 78 - 30Q

and now we get here

marginal revenue MR = MC1 = MC2

put here value

78 - 30Q1 - 30Q2 = 3 Q1 or 33 Q1 = 78 - 30Q2   ......................................2

78 - 30 Q1 - 30 Q2 = 2 Q2 or Q2 = 78 - 30Q1/32   ...................................3

by equation 2 and 3  we get here

33 Q1 = 78 - 30 (78 -  \frac{30Q1}{32}  )

so here Q1 = 1 and

Q2 = 78 -  \frac{30\times 1}{32}

Q2 = 1.5

and here Q will be

Q = Q1 + Q2

Q = 1 + 1.5

Q = 2.5

so we get value of P that is

P = 78 - 15 Q

P = 78 - 15 (2.5)  

P = 40.5

so charged to maximize profits is 40.5

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Product 1  - $36

Product 2 -  $ 96  

Product 3  -  $66

Explanation:

The accounting standard for Inventory under IFRS IAS 2 requires that inventory be recognized at cost which includes all the cost incurred to bring the item of inventory to a state or place where the item of inventory becomes available for sale.

These costs includes cost of purchase, freight, Insurance cost during transit etc.  

Subsequently, inventory is to be carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

The NRV is the Selling price less the cost to sell.

Given

                             Product 1       Product 2        Product 3

Cost                            $36              $ 106              $ 66

Selling price               $ 88              $ 168             $ 118

Costs to sell                $ 9                $ 72              $ 26

NRV                             $ 79               $ 96              $ 92

Payback Period Payson Manufacturing is considering an investment in a new automated manufacturing system. The new system require
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

a. 4 years

b. 5 years

Explanation:

The payback period is the time taken for the cash inflows from an investment to equal to the initial cash outflow or amount invested. To get this, the cash inflow are deducted from the outflows until the net is zero.

Considering both expected cash flows (all amounts in $);

Period    Initial out flow   Inflow         Balance         Inflow         Balance

Year 0    (1,200,000)              0          (1,200,000)       0            (1,200,000)      

Year 1                             300,000       (900,000)    150,000     (1,050,000)

Year 2                            300,000       (600,000)    150,000     (1,050,000)

Year 3                            300,000       (300,000)    400,000     (1,050,000)  

Year 4                            300,000               0           400,000     (1,050,000)  

Year 5                                                                        100,000     (1,050,000)

From the table above, with an inflow of $300,000 yearly, the inflows would equal the total outflow in 4 years while the annual cash flows: $150,000, $150,000, $400,000, $400,000, and $100,000 would make the inflows equal to the outflows in 5 years.
