MAVERICK [17]
Marginal revenue is the ratio that is calculated in order to account for the change in overall income that results from selling one additional unit. This term is usually considered a microeconomic term but has many managerial accounting applications. 

The formula to be used is,
             Marginal revenue = (change in total revenues)/(change in quantity sold)

Revenue for 2 units sold:   R = (2 units)($8.50/unit) = $17
Revenue for 3 units sold:    R = (3 units)($8.00/unit) = $24
   
Change in Total Revenue = $24 - $17 = $7

Marginal Revenue = ($7) / (3 - 2) = $7/1

<em>ANSWER: Marginal Revenue: $7/unit</em>

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

A good is said to be 'normal' by economists if an increase in consumers' income bring about increase in demand for the good.

In other words, consumers will buy more of those goods when they have sufficient money due to availability of income.

Example of normal good is when the demand for household appliance like TVs or expensive clothes increases due to increase in income of consumers.

Whereas for an inferior good, demand for such good decreases as consumers' income increases.

The following data are available for the four steps: A B C D Activity time per unit (min) 0.25 0.33 0.2 0.5 Capacity per worker
Alja [10]

Solution :

                                                                  A              B            C              D

The Activity of time per unit(min) (X)     0.25          0.33       0.2          0.5

Capacity per worker(units/min) (Y)          4              3             5             2

Number of workers (Z)                            2               3              2            4

Capacity (Units/min) (ZxY)                       8               9             10           8

A and D re the bottlenecks with a minimum capacity of 8 units/min

Hence, initial system capacity = 8 units/min

It is given that activity time per unit in D step is $\text{reduced by 0.25}$  min per unit

Capacity/worker = 1/0.25 = 4 per min

Number of worker for D = 4

New capacity of D per min = 4 x 4 = 16 units

Steps                                       A          B            C              D    

New capacity(units/min)        8           9            10             16

Therefore now, step A is the bottleneck as it has the lowest capacity of 8 units/min.

Capacity of the entire process = 8 units/min
