Answer:
The total cost of operating a truck would be $18000 as calculated below.
Explanation:
The total costs of operating the truck is a combination of fixed costs of $5500 per year and variable of $0.50 per mile ,hence the total cost function is given as:
TC=5500+0.50X
Where represents the number of miles driven per year.
Since X=25000 miles
TC=$5500+($0.50*25000)
TC=$5500+$12500
TC=$18000
The understanding here is that wages paid to the two employees working with the truck is already embedded in the fixed costs of $5500 per year, otherwise that would been given as a distinct cost entirely.
Answer: The Break-Even Point will reduce from $4,285.71 to $4,125
Explanation:
To get the Break-Even Point we can divide Fixed Assets by the Contribution margin.
The Contribution Margin is the Selling Price minus the Variable Cost.
For Scenario 1 the Break-Even Point will be,
= 15,000 / ( 6 - 2.50)
= $4,285.71
For Scenario 2 the Break-Even Point is,
= 16,500 / 6.5 -2.5
= $4,125
The Break-Even Point for Scenario 2 means that even though the higher Fixed Costs could have led to a higher Break-Even Point, the higher price contributed more than the fixed costs did and led to an ultimately lower Break-Even Point than the first Scenario.
Answer:
Explanation:
C(q) = 100+10q-q^2+(1/3)q^3
To find the firm marginal cost function:
Take the derivative with respect to q
MC = 10 - 2q + q^2
Assuming that the market price is p , then the profit maximising condition is:
MR = MC
p = 10 - 2q + q^2
The short-run supply curve is the marginal cost curve that lies above the average variable cost.
The average variable cost is:
AVC =VC/Q
AVC = (10q-q^2+(1/3)q^3)/Q
AVC = 10 - q + (1/3)*q^2
So, the short-run supply curve is:
SRS = 10 - 2q + q^2 if p > 10 - q + (1/3)*q^2

<span>Power given to people because of their superior knowledge about the work is B. expert power.
Experts are people who have superior knowledge of a subject when compared to other people. So if someone thinks that your knowledge about something is greater than that of someone else's, your boss may give you more power than other employees.
