Answer:

It should accept the special order at the price of $36 as the total marginal cost will be $28.5 (27 variable cost + 1.15 shipping cost).

Explanation:

Special orders are accepted only if marginal revenue increases the marginal cost. Marginal cost is the total cost incurred to fulfill any order.

In the given scenario, since the Company already has adequate capacity and it will not incur any additional fixed cost, therefore the order can be accepted by taking variable cost in to consideration.

Marginal Revenue               36

Less: Marginal Cost

Variable Cost                      (27)

Shipping Cost                   <u> (1.15)</u>

Total Profit from Order   <u> 7.85</u>

Each extra worker produces an extra unit of output up to six workers. After six, no additional output is produced. Draw the tota
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

attached is the diagram

Explanation:

Each extra worker produces an extra unit of output, is said to be the marginal production of an extra worker employed

marginal production  :

change in total production / change in labor = ΔTp / ΔL

Average production = Tp / L

Tp = total production ,  L = number of labor

To draw the Total product of labor , average product labor and marginal product labor curves starting from zero labor

0 worker : Total product = 0, average product labor = 0 , marginal = 0

1 worker : Total product = 1, average product = 1 , marginal = 0

2 worker : Total product = 2, average product = 1, marginal = 1

3 workers: total product = 3 average product = 1, marginal = 1

4 workers: Total product = 4, average product = 1, marginal = 1

5 workers : Total product = 5 average product = 1, marginal = 1

6 workers : total product = 6 average product = 1 , marginal = 1

7 workers : total product = 7 , average product = 0.85, marginal = 0

8 workers : total product = 8, average product = 0.75 marginal = 0

Joe quits his computer programming​ job, where he was earning a salary of ​$65,000 per​ year, to start his own computer software
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The accounting cost and the economic cost associated with​ Joe's computer software business is $75,00 and the $165,000 respectively.

Explanation:

The computation of the accounting cost and the economic cost is shown below:

Accounting cost =  Other Expenses + Salary paid to himself

                           = $35000 + $40,000

                           = $75,000

Economic cost = Accounting cost + Salary expense + Rent expenses

                        = $75,000 + $65,000 + $25,000

                        = $165,000

krok68 [10]

Answer:

$243,900

Explanation:

Calip corporation reported the following results for the month of October

Sales= $413,000

Cost of goods sold= $169,100

Total variable sling expenditure= $20,700

Total fixed selling expense= $17,900

Total variable administrative expense= $13,100

Total fixed administrative expense= $30,400

The contribution margin can be calculated by subtracting the total cost of goods sold from the sales

= $413,000-$169,100

= $243,900

Hence the contribution margin for October is $243,900
