Answer:

In equilibrium, total output by the two firms will be option e= 300.

Q = $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$

Q = 100 + 200

Q = 300

Explanation:

Data Given:

Market Demand Curve = P = 1660-4Q

where, P = price and Q = total industry output

Each firm's marginal cost = $60 per unit of output

So, we know that Q = $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$

where $q_{}$ being the individual firm output.

Solution:

P = 1660-4Q

P = 1660- 4( $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$ )

P = 1660 - 4 $q_{1}$ - 4 $q_{2}$

Including the marginal cost of firm 1 and multiplying the whole equation by $q_{1}$

Let's suppose new equation is X

X = 1660 $q_{1}$ - 4 $q_{1} ^{2}$ - 4 $q_{1}$ $q_{2}$ - 60 $q_{1}$

Taking the derivative w.r.t to $q_{1}$ , we will get:

$X^{'}$ = 1660 - 8 $q_{1}$ - 4 $q_{2}$ - 60 = 0

Making rearrangements into the equation:

8 $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$ = 1660 - 60

8 $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$ = 1600

Dividing the whole equation by 4

2 $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$ = 400

Solving for $q_{1}$

2 $q_{1}$ = 400 - $q_{2}$

$q_{1}$ = 200 - 0.5 $q_{2}$

Including the marginal cost of firm 1 and multiplying the whole equation by $q_{2}$

P = 1660 - 4 $q_{1}$ - 4 $q_{2}$

Let's suppose new equation is Y

Y = 1660 $q_{2}$ - 4 $q_{1}$ $q_{2}$ -4 $q_{2} ^{2}$ - 60 $q_{2}$

Pugging in the value of $q_{1}$

Y = 1660 $q_{2}$ - 4 $q_{2}$ (200 - 0.5 $q_{2}$ ) -4 $q_{2} ^{2}$ - 60 $q_{2}$

Y = 1660 $q_{2}$ - 800 $q_{2}$ +2 $q_{2} ^{2}$ -4 $q_{2} ^{2}$ - 60 $q_{2}$

Y = 1600 $q_{2}$ - 800 $q_{2}$ -2 $q_{2} ^{2}$

Taking the derivative w.r.t $q_{2}$

$Y^{'}$ = 1600 - 800 - 4 $q_{2}$ = 0

Solving for $q_{2}$

4 $q_{2}$ = 800

$q_{2}$ = 200

$q_{1}$ = 200 - 0.5 $q_{2}$

Plugging in the value of $q_{2}$ to get the value of $q_{1}$

$q_{1}$ = 200 - 0.5 (200)

$q_{1}$ = 200 - 100

$q_{1}$ = 100

Q = $q_{1}$ + $q_{2}$

Q = 100 + 200

Q = 300

Hence, in equilibrium, total output by the two firms will be option

e= 300.

Delvig [45]

Answer:

Final consumers

Explanation:

The goal of channels of distribution is to move products from producers to final consumers, that is, by bridging the gap between the producer and the consumer by bringing the product or service to the final buyer or consumer.

During March, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 35,000 units

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Direct Labor Equivalent unit cost : $5,415463

Explanation:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}\\ &$Units to be assigned costs:&&Equivalent Units&\\&&$Whole Units&Materials&Conversion\\&$Beginning&35000&35000&17500\\&$Started and completed&71000&71000&71000\\&$transferred&106000&106000&106000\\&$ending&39000&39000&11700\\&$Total units to be assigned costs&145000&145000&117700\\\end{array}\right]$

<u><em>Transferred units:</em></u>

beginning + started - ending = transferred

35,000 + 71,000 - 39,000 = 71,000

Labor cost: 581,000 + 56,400 = 637,400

equivalent units for conversion: 117,700

(trasnferrred + percentage of completion ending WIP)

<em><u>Equivalent unit cost:</u></em>

637,400 / 117,700 = 5,415463

A sporting goods manufacturer budgets production of 48,000 pairs of ski boots in the first quarter and 39,000 pairs in the secon

professor190 [17]

Answer:

$831,600

Explanation:

The budget must account for all of the production of the first quarter and 20% of the production of the second quarter, the number of boots considered in the budget is:

$b= 48,000 +0.20*39,000\\b=55,800\ boots$

Assuming that each boot uses exactly 2kg of raw material and that the company has 19,200 kg on hand, the amount of raw material still required is:

$m = 2*55,800-19,200\\m=92,400\ kg$

If the cost per kg is $9, then the budgeted materials purchases cost for the first quarter is:

$C=92,400*\$9\\C=\$831,600$

The budgeted materials purchases cost is $831,600.
