A firm is planning to manufacture a new product. As the selling price is increased, the quantity that can be sold decreases. Num

erically they estimate
P = $35.00 - 0.02Q

(P = selling price per unit, Q = quantity sold per year)

On the other hand, management estimates that the average cost of manufacturing and selling the product will decrease as the quantity sold increases

C = $4.00Q + $8000

where C = cost to produce and sell Q per year

The want to maximize profit. What quantity should the decision makers plan to produce and sell each year?

Answer:

Profit Maximising Quantity = 775

Explanation:

Price P = 35 - 0.02Q

Total Revenue TR = Price x Quantity = P X Q

= (35 - 0.02Q)(Q)  = 35Q - 0.02Q^2

Total Cost TC = 8000 + 4Q

Profit = TR - TC

[35Q - 0.02Q^2] - [8000+4Q]  =  35Q - 0.02Q^2 - 8000 - 4Q

Profit Function = - 0.02Q^2 + 31Q - 8000

To find out profit maximising Quantity , we will differentiate Profit Function with respect to Q & equate it to 0.

dTR/ dQ = -0.04Q + 31 = 0

Q = 31/0.04 = 775

To verify whether 775 is profit maximising Q, we will do second derivative & check that it is negative.

d^2TR/ dQ^2 = -0.04 i.e < 0 (negative)

So 775 is profit maximising quantity

Alborosie

Answer: $7,500

Explanation:

In calculating the Incremental income we will add the amount of variable Manufacturing costs Rory Company will save as well as the income they will get from selling the old machine and then subtract the cost price of the new machine.

Starting off we will calculate the amount of savings they will make by using the new machine,

= $12,000 x 5 years

= $60,000

Calculating the Incremental income therefore we have,

= 60,000 + 60,000(from selling old machine) - 112,500 (cost of new machine)

= $7,500

The incremental income of buying the new machine is $7,500.

If you need any clarification do comment.

The partnership takes on/out  the basis of contributed/ distributed property; cash is always consider basis as its face value.

The fair market value of property distributed is used to consider contributor’s gain/ loss only.

The basis in the partnership after distribution = current basis in partnership – cash distributed – basis of any other distribution

Thus Bryon’s basis in the partnership after the distribution = $34,000 - $8,000 = $17,000
