Explanation:
Over the past several decades, advances in technology, greatly reduced the cost of making computers which resulted in the decline of the equilibrium price of computers and also resulted in increased equilibrium quantity. The reduction in the computer prices also caused an increase in the consumer surplus.
computer price down -> equilibrium price down
computer price down -> equilibrium quantity up
computer price down -> consumer surplus up
The producer surplus increases due to increase in quantity and at the same time producer surplus decreases due to decrease in price.
computer price down -> producer surplus down
computer quantity up -> producer surplus up
Answer:
A) R(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2
B) P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500
C) 80
D) 2300
E) 80
Explanation:
Given the following :
Price of suit 'x' :
p = 120 - 0.5x
Cost of producing 'x' suits :
C(x)=2500 + 0.25 x^2
A) calculate total revenue 'R(x)'
Total Revenue = price × total quantity sold, If total quantity sold = 'x'
R(x) = (120 - 0.5x) * x
R(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2
B) Total profit, 'p(x)'
Profit = Total revenue - Cost of production
P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
P(x) = (120x - 0.5x^2) - (2500 + 0.25x^2)
P(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2 - 2500 - 0.25x^2
P(x) = - 0.5x^2 - 0.25x^2 + 120x - 2500
P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500
C) To maximize profit
Find the marginal profit 'p' (x)'
First derivative of p(x)
d/dx (p(x)) = - 2(0.75)x + 120
P'(x) = - 1.5x + 120
-1.5x + 120 = 0
-1.5x = - 120
x = 120 / 1.5
x = 80
D) maximum profit
P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500
P(80) = - 0.75(80)^2 + 120(80) - 2500
= -0.75(6400) + 9600 - 2500
= -4800 + 9600 - 2500
= 2300
E) price per suit in other to maximize profit
P = 120 - 0.5x
P = 120 - 0.5(80)
P = 120 - 40
P = $80
Answer:
Efficiency variance =$9,860
unfavorable
Explanation:
Labour efficiency variance is the difference between the actual time taken to achieve a given production output less the standard hours allowed for same multiplied by the standard labour rate
Hours
11,900 units should have take (11,900× 4hrs) 47,600
but did take <u>48,180</u>
Difference 580 unfavorable
Standard hours <u> × $17 </u>
Efficiency variance <u>$9,860
unfavorable</u>
