Answer:

A.C. Tech Manufacturing Appliances

Product Models to produce first, if management incorporates a short-run profit-maximizing strategy:

                                                 Small      Medium     Large

Selling price                             $430       $610          $1,210

Variable cost                            $270       $280         $530

Contribution                            $160        $330         $680

Fixed Costs:

Fixed manufacturing                 $40         $170          $270

Fixed selling & admin                $70         $75            $140

Unit Profit                                   $50         $85            $270

Demand in units                         150         170              150

Total profit                               $7,500     $14,450      $40,500

Machine hours/unit                     60           60             150

Total machine hours required 9,000      10,200        22,500

Unit profit per machine hour   $0.83      $1.42         $1.80

If management incorporates a short-run profit maximizing strategy, given maximum machine hours available, it should first produce the large model.

Explanation:

The large model offers better contribution per unit, better profit per unit and in total, and most importantly better profit per unit of hour (major constraint).

In making a limiting factor decision, the choice goes to the product model that produces more profit under the limiting constraint.

At the end of the year the production manager is taking inventory and finds 600 units of an older model of invisible fencing tha
KatRina [158]

Answer: $12

Explanation:

In selling the obsolete goods, the company will incur Variable Marketing costs and the alternative will be to throw the goods away.

The relevant costs they will incur are therefore the Variable Marketing costs alone.

The lowest amount that a company should accept for a good is the price that equals it's cost so that they may at least Break-Even.

Seeing as the Variable Marketing Costs are the only relevant cost then the lowest they should accept is the Variable Marketing Costs of $12.

goldenfox [79]

Answer: unilateral contract

Explanation:

An unilateral contract is a contact that is formed when an individual offers to do a particular thing in return for either money or something else that was agreed on.

Once such individual does that thing, he or she has to be given what was agreed on in the contract. A typical example is the contact regarding an insurance policy.

Therefore, an offer that can only be accepted by an offere's performance will create a unilateral contact.
