Convenience sampling is used, because the population is taken from a sample that easy to reach
Due to scarcity. There exist unlimited wants but only scarce amount of resources to meet those wants so items must be allocated through a system of prices or through exchange.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Fixed cost is
= $500,000 + $1,000,000
= $1,500,000
And, the marginal cost is
= $0.25 + $0.10
= $0.35 per paer
Now
as we know that
AFC = FC ÷ Q
Now for At 1,000,000 papers,
AFC is
= 1,500,000 ÷ 1,000,000
= $1.50/mo
At 800,000
, it would be
AFC = 1,500,000 ÷ 800,000
= $1.875/mo
MC = $0.35 per paper and the same is not changed
Now for break even, the average total cost is
ATC = AFC + AVC
ATC = FC ÷ Q + VC ÷ Q
VC = MC × Q
ATC = FC ÷ Q + MC
ATC = FC ÷ Q + 0.35
At Q = 1,000,000,
ATC = 1.50 + 0.35
ATC = $1.85
At Q = 800,000
, it would be
ATC = 1.875 + 0.35
= $2.225
As it can be seen that
The AFC changes from 1.50 to 1.875 which shows an increment of 0.375.
The MC remains constant or same at 0.35 as the printing and delivery costs per paper are remain same
And, The minimum amount that we must charge to break even rises i.e. from 1.85 to 2.225. That is a rise of 0.375
ANSWERS: There was a format called Company Town where the company would virtually own and control the entire town including daily need item stores. Workers were lured with attractive wages and accommodation. But, the wages were paid in 'Scrips' which were company printed currency meant to be spent in the stores owned by the company owned and controlled stores inside the company town. This led to the employees getting dependent on employers and their personal freedom and space getting interfered by employers. This relation led to the term 'Wage Slavery'. This practice was continued in mining town till 1960s whereas the concept of company town ended in the 1920s.
