Answer:

At 18,600 pounds, cost of both the machines would be equal

Explanation:

At Indifference point of production amount (pounds), the total cost of each machine will be equal .

Indifference Point is calculated as: Change in Fixed Costs/Change in Variable Costs

Indifference Point = (8901 - 7599) / (0.52 - 0.45)

= 1302 / 0.07

= 18,600 pounds

At 18,600 pounds, cost of both the machines would be equal

Answer:

Multiplier = 3.33

Explanation:

Investment / Spending Multiplier denotes increase in Income multiple times increase in causal Investment.

Multiplier = Change in Income / Change in Investment = 1 / 1 - MPC

<em>M</em> = ΔY/ΔI = 1/ (1-MPC)

At Equilibrium, Investment = Savings = 750. Change in Investment = 900 - 750 = 150. Change in Income = 500.

M = 500/150 = 3.33

3.33 = 1/(1-MPC)

MPC = 0.70

Pine Street Inc. makes unfinished bookcases that it sells for $59.37. Production costs are $37.59 variable and $9.54 fixed. Beca
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Since profit per unit is more in Finished bookcase, book cases shall be finished and then sold.

Additional profit per unit on finished book cases in comparison to unfinished book cases = $17.85 - $12.24 = $5.61 per unit.

Explanation:

Provided, current profit per unit = Selling price - Total cost =  $59.37 - $37.59 - $9.54 = $12.24

This is calculated to know the current profit per unit, without furnishing the bookcase.

In case, the bookcase is furnished then the cost will increase by $5.64 per unit.

That is total cost per unit = $37.59 + $9.54 + $5.64 = $52.77

Revised selling price = $70.62 for each finished unit

Therefore profit pr unit on finished bookcase = $70.62 - $52.77 = $17.85

Since profit per unit is more in Finished bookcase, book cases shall be finished and then sold.

Additional profit per unit on finished book cases in comparison to unfinished book cases = $17.85 - $12.24 = $5.61 per unit.
