Explain how federal laws help promote fair competition.

1 answer:

8 0

Federal laws help promote fair competition by setting limits on what is acceptable to charge for something so that a price war also does not start. Federal laws allow necessities to be kept at prices that the average joe can afford. Also these laws allow for competing companies to still compete, but have pricing be more standard. If these laws were not in place, business demand would not be protected from unfair methods.

B. If 18,000 units are produced, what is the variable cost per unit?C. If 21,000 units are produced, what are the total variable

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Looking on the internet I found the necessary information to solve this problem:

Giving the following information:

Units= 16,000

Fixed Overhead= $5*16,000= 80,000

Direct material= 12

Direct labor= 9

Indirect material= 1 (part of overhead)

variable overhead= 2

B. Units= 18,000

Variable cost per unit= direct material + direct labor + variable overhead= 12 + 9 + (2+1)= 24

C. Units= 21,000

Total variable cost= unitary cost* number of units

TVC= 24*21,000= $504,000

D. Units= 11,000

TVC= 24*11,000= $264,000

E. Units= 19,000

Overhead= variable overhead + fixed overhead

Overhead= 3*19,000 + 80,000= $137,000

F. Units= 23,000

Total overhead= 3*23,000 + 80,000= $149,000

G. Units= 19,000

Unitary overhead= total overhead/ number of units

Unitary overhead= 3 + (80,000/19,000)= $7.21

H. Units= 25,000

Unitary overhead= 3 + (80,000/25,000)= $6.2
