Suppose that Verizon Wireless has hired you as a consultant to determine what price it should set for calling services. Suppose

that an individual's inverse demand for wireless services in the greater Boston area is estimated to be P = 100 − 33Q and the marginal cost of providing wireless services to the area is $1 per minute. What is the optimal two-part price that you would suggest to Verizon?

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

From the question above, we are given that the value for marginal cost = 1 and the value of P, P = 100 - 33Q.

We should note that the value of P = the value of the marginal cost. That is to say, we are going to have something like;

100 - 33Q = 1. Therefore, 1 - 100 = -33Q.

so, - 99 = - 33Q.

Hence, the value of Q = 3.

Therefore, let us Calculate the value for the consumer surplus which we can get by looking at the area

above the Price line and below demand curve. Therefore, the value of P = 1.

Hence, P = MC.

Then, the value of Q = 0.

Lump Sum fee or fixed sum = (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × (100 - 1) × 3.

=$ 148.5.

Hence, the consumer surplus is $0 because the consumer surplus is compute as fixed fee.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Data Given:

Material Cost Per Trailer = $500

Material Cost plus Profit Per Trailer (15%) = $500 + 75 = $575

Selling Price = $1000

Labor Cost Remaining Per Trailer = $425

Formula to Calculate the number of Trailers:

X = X1 ( $N^{S}$ )

Where,

N = number of Trailers

S = Slope Parameter

X = $425

X1 = $700

So, First we need to find the slope parameter, in order to calculate the number of trailers to be built.

S = $\frac{log \alpha }{log 2}$

where, α = 0.85 rate of improvement.

Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:

S = $\frac{log (0.85) }{log 2}$

S = -0.234

Now, we can easily find the number of trailers.

X = X1 ( $N^{S}$ )

Plugging in the values,

425 = 700 x ( $N^{-0.234}$ )

Solving For N, we get:

N = 8.4 Trailers

N = 9 Trailers.

Hence, 9 Trailers must be built in order to realize this rate of profit.

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Option C Internal Control Information

Explanation:

The reason is that variance analysis is the process through which we emphasize control over costs which is solely management accounting and is not linked to financial reporting so the option B is incorrect. This information is internally generated which means saying that the information is obtained from external sources is totally incorrect. The option a is generally correct because this information is part of internal information. But Option C is more relateable here so the better option is Option C.

Answer:

Farr Industries Inc

Contribution Margin Analysis

Planned Contribution Margin $5,200,000.00

Effect of change in sales:

Sales quantity factor (120,000-130,000)x$220 ($2,200,000)

Unit price factor ($250 - $220)x120,000 $3,600,000

Total effect of change in sales $1,400,000.00

<em>Effect of changes in variable cost of goods sold: </em>

Variable cost quantity factor (130,000-120,000)x $165 $1,650,000.00

Unit cost factor ($180-165) x 120,000 ($1,800,000.00)

Total effect of changes in variable cost of goods sold ($150,000.00)

<em>Effect of changes in variable selling and administrative expenses: </em>

Variable cost quantity factor (130,000-120,000)x $15 $150,000.00

Unit cost factor ($22-$15)x 120,000 units ($840,000.00)

Total effect of changes in

variable selling and administrative expenses ($690,000.00)

Actual contribution margin $5,760,000.00

I disagree with the President, seeing as though we see that the majority of the decrease in the variable cost of the products sold is due to the variable cost factor and also to the variable sales and administrative expenses because the company made additional sales efforts to stay competitive at increased prices
