Answer:
D) generates the highest contribution margin per stamping machine hour
Explanation:
Since the stamping machine is Kinsi's constrained resource, or bottleneck resource, in order to maximize its profit, the company should manufacture the products that maximize the utility of the stamping machine. The product that maximize the utility are the one that have the highest contribution margin. Therefore Kinsi must produce the products that have the highest contribution margin per stamping machine hour.
Answer: $2500
Explanation:
From the question,
Average variable cost(AVC) = $50
Average total cost (ATC) = $75
Output (Q) = 100
Since Average fixed cost is the difference between the average total cost and the average Variable cost. This will be:
AFC = ATC - AVC
AFC = $75 - $50
AFC = $25
We should note that:
AFC = TFC / Q
TFC = AFC × Q
TFC = $25 × 100
TFC = $2500
Therefore, total fixed cost is $2500
Answer: Monopolistic competition
Explanation:
This is a market in which large numbers of producer sells differentiated products in terms of quality or branding. The ability to differentiate the products makes it possible for the different firms to practice price discrimenation which is further strengthen through advertising of the product, the price differences may force a firm out of the market if the demand for it's products falls significantly.

Answer:
a. How long will the current bridge system work before a new bracing system is required?: 64.18 years or 64 years and 2 months.
b. What if the annual traffic rate increases at 8 % annually: The bracing system will last for 24.65 years or 24 years and 7 months.
c. At what traffic increase rate will the current system last only 12 years: 17.13%
Explanation:
a. Denote x is the time taken for the number of pedestrian to grow from 300 to 2000. The current pedestrian is 300, the grow rate per year is 3% or 1.03 times a year. Thus, to reach 2,000, we have the equation: 300 x 1.03^x = 2000. Show the equate, we have 1.03^x = 6.67 <=> x = 64.18
b. Denote x is the time taken for the number of pedestrian to grow from 300 to 2000. The current pedestrian is 300, the grow rate per year is 8% or 1.08 times a year. Thus, to reach 2,000, we have the equation: 300 x 1.08^x = 2000. Show the equate, we have 1.08^x = 6.67 <=> x = 24.65.
c. Denote x as traffic increase rate. The current pedestrian is 300, the grow rate per year is (1+x) times a year. Thus, to reach 2,000 after 12 years and thus a new bracing system to be in place, we have the equation: 300 x (1+x)^12 = 2000. Show the equate, we have (1+x)^12 = 6.67 <=> 1+x = 1.1713 <=> x = 17.13%.
