Answer:
(i) The farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units
(ii) The farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down
(iii) The two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200)
Explanation:
(i)According to given data, When output is 200 but price is $20, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm breaks even. But since this price is higher than AVC of $15, the farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units.
(ii) When output is 200 but price is $12, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm makes economic loss. Also, this price is lower than AVC of $15, so the farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down.
(iii) The farm's supply curve is the portion of its Marginal cost (MC) curve above the minimum point of AVC. Since price equals MC, the two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200).
Authenticity, if it’s been plagiarised then it’s not authentic and has been coppied
Answer: True
According to the law of demand, the demand for a good increases when its price falls. Thus, when a fruit or vegetable is in season, it is relatively less expensive than in off seasons. Thus, consumers buy more of these seasonal fruits in season. Thus, demand for the good increases when it becomes cheaper.
Thus, the statement is true.
Contribution is the difference between the Sales per unit and the variable cost per unit. When the selling price reduced to $6 per unit,
Contribution per unit = Sales per unit - Variable Cost per unit
Contribution per unit = $6 - ($6*0.6)
Contribution per unit = $2.4 per unit.
Now, the contribution margin ratio = Contribution per unit / Sales per unit
Contribution Margin Ratio = $2.4 / $6
Contribution Margin Ratio = 0.4 or 40%
Contribution Margin ratio when the sales price is $6 per unit is 40%.
