Lorico [155]

Answer:

A. Net benefits equation 20 + 24q - 4q^2

B. Q(1) = 40 ; Q(5) = 40

C. BE' = 24 - 8q

Explanation:

A. Net benefits:

Benefits equation - Cost equation

[100 + 36q - 4q^2] - [80 + 12q]

100 + 36q - 4q^2 - 80 - 12q

20 + 24q - 4q^2

B. replace Q=1 and Q=5

  • For Q= 1

Q(1) = 20 + 24(1) - 4(1)^2

Q(1)= 44 - 4

Q(1) = 4

  • For Q= 5

Q(5) = 20 + 24(5) - 4(5^2)

Q(5)= 20 + 120 - 4(25)

Q(5) = 140 - 100

Q(5) = 40

C. Marginal Benefits. First derivative of the equation wrote in section A.

Benefits equation : 20 + 24q - 4q^2

BE' = 24 - 8q

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

option (a) is correct, $ 2400

Explanation:

Transfer price is relevant cost for Engine division

Now,

the relevant cost is variable cost

Also, variable cost is given as;

variable cost =   Direct material + Direct labor + Variable overhead

on substituting the values in the above formula, we get

variable cost =   $ 700 + $ 1,300 + $ 400

or

variable cost = $ 2400

Hence, option (a) is correct
