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

Using the following information, what is the amount of net income? Purchases $ 33,114 Selling expenses $ 677 Merchandise invento
NeX [460]

The net income is $32,961

<u>Explanation</u>:

To calculate the net income, we will classify the transaction into income and expenses, and compute the difference between their totals;

Income;

Merchandise inventory Sept. 1     =  $  7,740

Merchandise inventory Sept. 30  = $ 11,372

                                         Sales     =  $ 50,575

                                        Total      =  $ 69,687

Expenses;

Purchases                             = $ 33,114

Selling expenses                  = $     677

Administrative expense       = $     665

Rent Revenue                       = $    1,118

Interest expense                  = $     1,152

Total                                      = $  36,726

Net income = Total income - Total expenses

                    = 69,687 - 36,716

                    = $ 32,961
