Problem 10-05 (Algorithmic) The Metropolitan Bus Company (MBC) purchases diesel fuel from American Petroleum Supply. In addition

to the fuel cost, American Petroleum Supply charges MBC $150 per order to cover the expenses of delivering and transferring the fuel to MBC's storage tanks. The lead time for a new shipment from American Petroleum is 10 days; the cost of holding a gallon of fuel in the storage tanks is $0.05 per month, or $0.6 per year; and annual fuel usage is 50,000 gallons. MBC buses operate 250 days a year. What is the optimal order quantity for MBC

Answer:

456 Gallons

Explanation:

The Optimal order quantity can be found using the following formula:

Economic Order Quantity = Sqrt (2* Annual Demand * Ordering cost per order / Holding cost per unit per year)

EOQ= SquareRoot (2 * 50000 Gallons * $150 per order/ 0.48 Holding costs)

Economic Order Quantity = 456 Gallons

Assume that a​ firm's marginal cost is​ $10 and the elasticity of demand is minus2. We can conclude that the​ firm's profit-maxi
inysia [295]

Answer:

Option A. $20

Explanation:

Marginal cost be MC, marginal revenue be MR and . We know that

MR = ∆TR ÷ ∆Q

or

MR = (P∆Q+Q∆P) ÷ ∆Q

Here,

P is Profit-maximizing price

or

MR = (P∆Q ÷ ∆Q) + (Q∆P ÷ ∆Q)

or

MR = P + (Q∆P ÷ ∆Q)

we can also write the above equation as

MR = P + P(\frac{Q}{P})(\frac{\Delta P}{\Delta Q})

also,

Price elasticity of demand PED =  (\frac{Q}{P})(\frac{\Delta P}{\Delta Q})

or

MR = P + [ P ÷ (PED) ]

We know MR = MC

Therefore,

MC = P +  [ P ÷ (PED) ]

(P − MC) ÷ P = −1 ÷ PED

Substituting the values provided in the question

MC = $10

PED = -2

we get

P = [ PED ÷ (1 + PED)] × MC

P = ( -2 ÷ -1) × 10

or

P =$20

hence,

Option A. $20
