Answer:

There are some indirect social costs that are included in marginal cost of firms, such as climate change due to green house gas emission, pollution, systemic risk (risk that banking system takes). These costs impose negative effect on economy and are not directly borne by consumer or producer.

There are some indirect social gains that are not included in price paid for good, such as driving an electric vehicle, improved education, fire proof homes, construction and operations of public goods like parks, street lights. These benefits impose positive effect on economy and are not directly borne by consumer or producer.

Hayduke Corporation reported the following results from the sale of 5,000 units in May: sales $300,000, variable costs $180,000,
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

4,444.44 units

Explanation:

For the computation of Number of units to be sold to earn target profit first we need to follow some steps which are shown below:-

Selling price per unit = Sales ÷ Number of units sold

= $300,000 ÷ 5,000

= $60

Variable cost per unit = Total variable cost ÷ Number of units sold

= $180,000 ÷ 5,000

= $36

Increase in selling price = $60 × 5%

= $3

New selling price per unit = $60 + $3

= $63

New contribution margin per unit = New selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

= $63 - $36

= $27

Number of units to be sold to earn target profit = (Fixed cost + Target profit) ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= ($90,000 + $30,000) ÷ $27

= $120,000 ÷ $27

= 4,444.44 units
