In the short​ run, to the nearest​ cent, what is the​ profit-maximizing price of​ e-books relating to​ do-it-yourself topics? ​$ nothing. At the​ profit-maximizing quantity, to the nearest​ cent, what is the average total cost of producing​ e-books? ​$ nothing.

Answer:

Profit maximizing price of the firm = 50 cents

Average total cost of e-book = $10.5

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Maximum annual profit = $35,000

It sells = 15,000 copies

Expense rate = 50 cent

Company must spend = $150,000

Here, Profit maximizing price of the firm = marginal cost (Expense rate)

So, Profit maximizing price of the firm = 50 cents

As per the following formula,

Average total cost = Total cost ÷ Quantity of output

= ((0.5 × 15,000) + $150,000) ÷ 15,000

= $10.5

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

0.343

Explanation:

Calculation for what The company's contribution margin ratio is closest to

First step is to calculate the Contribution margin using this formula

Contribution margin = Sales – Variable expenses

Let plug in the formula

Contribution margin= $2,412,000 – ($1,170,000 + $414,000)

Contribution margin= $2,412,000 – $1,584,000

Contribution margin= $828,000

Now let calculate the Contribution margin ratio using this formula

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales

Let plug in the formula

Contribution margin ratio = $828,000 ÷ $2,412,000

Contribution margin ratio =0.343

Therefore The company's contribution margin ratio is closest to 0.343

Which of the following condition will both consumers and sellers benefit?
victus00 [196]
Answer: Option C) When supply equals demand.

The most common supply curve decreases with price. The most common demand curve increases with price. The point at which supply and demand curves intercept each other is the equilibrium point. At that point (equilibrium), there are consumers who are paying less than what they are willing to pay (generating a consumer surplus) and there are producers who are selling at a price that is higher than what they are willing to receive (generating a producer surplus), then both consumer and producers benefit.
