Answer:

either the selling price decreases or the total output decreases

Explanation:

The firm's income statement:

total sales revenue =            $120,000

minus total variable costs = ($72,000)

<u>minus total fixed costs =       ($15,000)  </u>

net profit =                             $33,000

The long run equilibrium for a monopolistically competitive firm occurs when the firm is making no economic profit since it is charging a price =  average total cost.

In this case the average total cost per unit = $6 per unit + ($15,000 / 12,000 units) = $7.25 per unit

Since the firm is currently charging a higher selling price than average total cost ($10 > $7.25), one or two things might happen in the long run:

  1. selling price will decrease
  2. output will decrease

Marian Corporation has two separate divisions that operate as profit centers.Black Division Navy DivisionSales (net) $700,000 $3
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The correct option is c. $482,000; $87,000

Explanation:

For computing the departmental income, the following formula is shown below:

= Sales - cost of good sold - salary expense - rent expense

For Black division,

The department income would be

=  Sales - cost of good sold - salary expense - rent expense

where,

rent expense = black division × (total rent expense ÷ sum of total square feet)

where,

sum of total square feet = black division square feet + navy division square feet

= 28,000 + 42,000

= 70,000 square feet

So, the rent expense for black division would be equal to

= 28,000 × (70,000 ÷ 70,000)

= 28,000

So, the departmental income for black division equal to

= $700,000 - 170,000 - 20,000 - 28,000

= $482,000

For Navy division,

The department income would be

=  Sales - cost of good sold - salary expense - rent expense

where,

rent expense = navy division × (total rent expense ÷ sum of total square feet)

where,

sum of total square feet = navy division square feet + navy division square feet

= 28,000 + 42,000

= 70,000 square feet

So, the rent expense for black division would be equal to

= 42,000 × (70,000 ÷ 70,000)

= 42,000

So, the departmental income for black division equal to

= $320,000 - 151,000 - 40,000 - 42,000

= $87,000

Hence, the departmental income for the Black and Navy Divisions is $482,000 and $87,000 respectively.

Therefore, the correct option is c. $482,000; $87,000

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

A 7.5% increase in the quantity demanded

Explanation:

If the price elasticity of demand (PED) is 0.75, that means that for every 1% change in the price of a product, the quantity demanded for the product will inversely change by 0.75%. If the price increases, the quantity demanded decreases, and vice versa.

If Sony lowers the price of its TVs by 10%, and the PED = 0.75, then the quantity demanded will increase by = 10% x 0.75 = 7.5%
