Answer:

The correct answer is C) People respond to incentives.

Explanation:

People respond to incentives is the fourth principle in Economics. For this particular case, adding tax to unhealthy food is a disincentive to buy it and at the same time an incentive to buy healthy food. This happens because incentives make people act, in a positive or negative way towards a certain product, and because <em>rational people</em> use cost and benefit comparisons to buy something.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Moonbeam Company

a) Incremental analysis for the special order:

Sales revenue ($7.87 * 20,800) =   $163,696

Variable costs ($6.62 * 20,800) =    (137,696)

Contribution margin =                        26,000

Shipping costs                                     (2,900)

Net income from special order =     $23,100

b) Moonbeam should accept the special order.  It generates some net income for covering the company's fixed cost and does not exceed the company's plant capacity.  It only adds about 4% to the operating plant capacity.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                        Total               Variable        Fixed

Sales (375,200 units)  $4,378,000  

Cost of goods sold        2,588,880      1,812,216       776,664

Gross profit                     1,789,120

Operating expenses        839,510        671,608        167,902

Net income                    $949,610

Total costs                                       $2,483,824    $944,566

Selling price = $11.67 ($4,378,000/375,200)

Variable costs per unit = $6.62 ($2,483,824/375,200)

Total plant capacity = 500,267 units (375,200/75%)

Increase in plant capacity = 396,000 (375,200 + 20,800)
