Change in the price of the good results in the movement along the same demand curve.
Factors other than price results in the shift in demand curve.
A rightward shift in demand would increase the quantity demanded at all prices compared to the original demand curve.
While a left shift indicates decrease in demand.
In the given graph , there is a rightward shift of the demand curve from left to the right ( D1 to D2), Thus we can say that there is an increase in demand.
Answer:
1. 60,000 hours
2. $300,000
3. $1,680 Unfavorable
Explanation:
1. The computation of the standard hours allowed for actual production is shown below:
= Actual production × Standard hours allowed per unit
= 15,000 units × 4 hours
= 60,000 hours
2. The computation of the applied fixed overhead is shown below:
= Standard hours allowed for actual production × Standard fixed overhead rate
= 6,000 hours × $5
= $300,000
3. The computation of the total fixed overhead variance is shown below:
= Actual fixed overhead costs - Applied fixed overhead
= $301,680 - $300,000
= $1,680 Unfavorable
Answer:
$224,000
Explanation:
Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost
= $320 - $76.8
= $243.2
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales
= $243.2 / $320
= $0.76 × 100
= 76%
Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
= $170,240 / 76%
= $224,000
Answer:
a. What is the MRP per driver per day?
- the marginal revenue product per driver = 60 packages x $20 = $1,200 per day
b. Now suppose that a union forces the company to place a supervisor in each vehicle at a cost of $300 per supervisor per day. The presence of the supervisor causes the number of packages delivered per vehicle per day to rise to 60 packages per day What is the MRP per supervisor per day? By how much per vehicle per day do firm profits fall after supervisors are introduced?
- if the drivers were already delivering 60 packages per day without the supervisor, then the addition of the supervisor doesn't change anything. So the MRP of the supervisor is $0. That means that the company's profits will decrease by $300 per day due to the supervisors.
c. How many packages per day would each vehicle have to deliver in order to maintain the firm's profit per vehicle after supervisors are introduced?
- $300 / 20 = 15 packages per day
- in order to maintain the profit per vehicle, each team of delivery man + supervisor should be able to deliver 75 packages per day.
d. Suppose that the number of packages delivered per day cannot be increased but that the price per deliver might potentially be raised. What price would the firm have to charge for each delivery in order to maintain the firm's profit per vehicle after supervisors are introduced?
- $300 / 60 = $5
- the price of each package delivered should increase by $5 to $25 per package.
