Answer:

The answers are:

1. combined producer surplus = $69

2. Alice and Amber (b)

Explanation:

A producer surplus is the difference between how much a producer sells a product in the market, and how much he is willing to sell the product for, if the market price is higher than the price he was willing to sell the product for.

The combined producer surplus of the ladies is the sum of their individual producer surpluses, and it is calculated as follows;

Alice: willing price = $35, market price = $70, therefore surplus

= 70 - 35 = $35

Amber: willing price = $38, market price = $70, ∴ surplus = 70 - 38 = $32

Andy: willing price = $68, market price = $70, ∴ surplus = 70 - 68 = $2

Combined producer surplus = 35 + 32 + 2 = $69

b. In this case the price of the 5 inch pot in the market is $45, Alice and Amber will sell their pots because the price in the market exceeds their willing price of $35 and $38 respectively and they will make producer surpluses of $10 and $7 respectively, but Andi on the other hand will not sell her pot because if she does, she will make a loss, as her willing price is $68 and the market price is $45, if she goes ahead to sell she will incur a loss of $23.

natima [27]

Answer:

Option D. Any of the above.

Explanation:

The reason is that the contract is not formed until the both parties don't agree on the terms and conditions of the contract which includes:

  • New terms and conditions because as we know the business environment is consistently changing like inflation changes, etc (Option A).
  • The acceptance is always required for the contract formation (Option B).
  • Additional clauses of the contract are new clauses and acceptance is required for these to form a contract (Option C).

So all of the options can alter the contract existence. So the right answer is option D.

The question is incomplete; the complete question is given below.

                        Selling Price per unit Variable  cost per unit

Product                                     $                                  $

Snowboards                           20.00                       170.00

Skis                                  400.00                          225.00

Poles                                      50.00                 20.00

Salvador's contribution margin is  46.2%

Explanation:

Contribution is the amount generated from the sales of a product to cover part of the total fixed cost.

Contribution is an important concept in decision making because it helps to determine the profitability of individual products where a set of products benefit from the same fixed cost. <em>it </em><em>helps in prioritizing the allocation of resources to different products based on their profitability</em> .

Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit- variable cost per unit

Total contribution= Contribution per unit * units sold

Contribution margin ration: The proportion of sales realised as contribution is known as contribution margin ratio (CMR) . It represents the amount generated as contribution from every one dollar worth of sales.  A 60% margin means that $60 is made as contribution from evry sales of $100, for example.

It is a calculated as follows:

Single-product scenario:

C.M.R= contribution per unit/ selling price per unit

Multiple-products scenario:

C.M.R= contribution from a mix / revenue from a mix

We shall use the multiple-products formula

                                         Snowboard                 ski             Poles     Total

                                                   $                             $                $

variable cost                        <u>    (170)                      (225)              (20)</u>

Contribution per unit (SP-VC)   <u>150                           175                30</u>

Cont from a mix (cont× unit)   1050                       525                 60

Revenue from a mix (SP× unit) 2240                    1200               100

Contribution margin ratio= Cont. from a mix/ Rev from a mix

                                           = (1050+525+60)/(2240+1200+100)

                                           =(1635 /  3540) × 100

                                            = 46.2 %
