What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 52,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units?
b. Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 82,000 units of Alpha and 62,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the raw material available for production is limited to 162,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits? Units produced for Alpha? Units produced for Beta?
c. Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 82,000 units of Alpha and 62,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the raw material available for production is limited to 162,000 pounds. What total contribution margin will it earn?
d. Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 82,000 units of Alpha and 62,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the raw material available for production is limited to 162,000 pounds. If Cane uses its 162,000 pounds of raw materials, up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

torisob [31]

Answer:

both existing customers who now get lower prices on the gowns they were already planning to purchase and new customers who enter the market because of the lower prices.

Explanation:

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good

Let assume that the price before the sale and after the sale is $1000 and $800. The willingness to pay of customer A is $1500 and for customer b is $900

consumer surplus of customer A before sale = 1500 - 1000 = 500

consumer surplus of customer A after sale = 1500 - 800 = 700

consumer surplus of customer B before sale =  0

consumer surplus of customer B after sale = 900 - 800 = 100

consumer surplus of both customers increase
