The Metal Shop produces 1.7 million metal fasteners a year for industrial use. At this level of production, its total fixed cost

DiKsa [7]

Answer: The offer should be rejected.

Explanation:

Given the following :

Total units produced = 1,700,000 units

Total cost = $791,000

Total fixed cost = $486,000

5% increase in production = (0.05 × 1,700,000) = 85,000

Units required by customer = 50,000 ( it is still within range without incurring additional fixed and variable cost).

Hence, total variable cost :

Total cost - total fixed cost

$(791,000 - 486,000) = $305,000

Variable cost per unit :

Total variable cost / total units produced

$305,000 / 1,700,000

= $0.179

Variable cost = marginal cost (Since variable cost per unit will be unchanged).

Offered price = $0.165

$0.165 < $0.179

Since offered price < marginal cost ; The offer should be rejected.

Why is the supply curve a vertical line

AlladinOne [14]

In some cases, supply curves are vertical, which means that for any price from 0 up to infinity, the quantity will stay the same.

This is very true for supply of an authentic painting in auctions, where there may only be 1 single painting, and people state the highest price they are willing to pay for the painting. Regardless of the price, there will only be 1 authentic painting for that price.

Hope this helps! :)
