A company manufactures three products, A, B, and C. The following information is available about the products on a per unit basi

s:
A B C
Sales price $65.50 $57.50 $75.25
Total variable cost 28.85 26.5 38.95
Direct material cost 11.25 8.9 22.75
Machine hours 4.65 6.3 5.9

How much will contribution margin be if the company has 1,500 machine hours and produces only the most profitable product?

Answer:

Hi the demand for each product for this question is missing, however, i have provided step by step approach to solving the problem below .

Explanation:

First Calculate the contribution per unit of each product

A B C

Sales price $65.50 $57.50 $75.25

Less Total variable cost ($28.85) ($26.50) ($38.95 )

Less Direct material cost ($11.25) ($8.90) ($22.75)

Contribution $25.40 $22.10 $13.25

Calculate the contribution per limiting factor of each product and rank the products

<em>contribution per limiting factor = contribution per unit ÷ quantity per limiting factor per unit</em>

A B C

Contribution $25.40 $22.10 $13.25

Quantity of limiting factor 4.65 6.3 5.9

Contribution per limiting factor 5.46 3.51 2.25

Ranking 1 2 3

Allocate the limiting factor according to the limiting factor

The company will on produce Product A as this is the most profitable.

Contribution = $25.40

VMariaS [17]

The answer to this question is that the contract is voidable. A voidable contract specificallt means that the contract can still be implemented or affirmed or rejected by one of the parties due to valid reasons. A situation where in a contract can be voidable is when the other party is not in the capacity to enter into a contract.

Suppose for a given consumer the marginal utility (MU) of a pizza is 100 utils and the MU of a hamburger is 80 utils, and that t

NemiM [27]

Answer:

<u>is not</u> , <u>consume more of hamburgers</u>

Explanation:

A consumer is said to have achieved equilibrium when within his budget constraint, he purchases that combination of two goods which yield maximum satisfaction to him.

The equation for consumer equilibrium for two products is given by

$\frac{MU_{x} }{P_{x} } = \frac{MU_{y} }{P_{y} }$

In the given case, $\frac{MU_{x} }{P_{x} }$ = $\frac{100}{15}$ = $\frac{20}{3}$ = 6.666

$\frac{MU_{y} }{P_{y} }$ = $\frac{80}{10}$ = 8

wherein, x= pizza

y= hamburger

As is evident, the marginal utility per dollar spent is greater in case of a hamburger, the consumer is not in a state of equilibrium.

Thus, he should consume more units of Hamburgers in order to maximize his utility.

How do investment banks differ from commercial? banks? ?(mark all that? apply.)?

jenyasd209 [6]

Investment banks help companies to purchase, sell and make investments using bonds while commercial banks are concerned on managing deposits on both savings and checking account.

Investment banks have some degree of freedom in choosing their own strategies while commercial banks have more risks because they are open to public transactions.

Determine the effect upon equilibrium price and quantity sold if the following changes occur in a particular market:a. Consumers

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Consumer’s income increases and the good is normal. Equilibrium price stays same and quantity will rise

b. The price of a substitute good (in consumption) increases. Equilibrium price stays same and quantity sold will rise

c. The price of a substitute good (in production) increases. Equilibrium price stays same and quantity sold will rise

d. The price of a complement good (in consumption) increases. Equilibrium price rises and quantity sold will decline.

e. The price of inputs used to produce the good increases. Equilibrium price rises and quantity sold will decline.

f. Consumers expect that the price of the good will increase in the near future. Equilibrium price rises and quantity sold will also rise.

g. It is widely publicized that consumption of the good is hazardous to health. Equilibrium price declines and quantity sold will also decline.

h. Cost reducing technological change takes place in the industry. Equilibrium price declines and quantity sold will rise.

For each of the pair of events indicated below, perform qualitative analysis to predict the direction of change in either the equilibrium price or equilibrium quantity. Explain why the change is indeterminate.

a. Both a and h conditions occur simultaneously. This will raise the equilibrium since good is now cheaper to produce and consumer has more income to purchase it however effect on price will be dubious.

b. Both d and e conditions occur simultaneously. Equilibrium price rises and quantity will decline.

c. Both d and h conditions occur simultaneously. Dubious effect increase in price of complementary good and reduction in cost due to latest technology will offset each other’s effect and equilibrium will not change if the magnitude of both effects is the same

d. Both f and c conditions occur simultaneously Equilibrium price rises and Equilibrium quantity will also rise.
