Answer:
C) $50,000,000
Explanation:
The aggregate rent is the surplus earned by the lawyers for operating over their cost at this market equilibrium.
In the picture attached, the rent is showed graphically.
At PL=$250 per hour, the amount of demanded hours is QL=1,000,000.
The oportunity cost at a zero hours level is PL(0)=$150.
The rent can be calculated as:
The aggregate rent is $50,000,000.
Answer:
60 percent
Explanation:
Contribution margin refers to the revenue a firm derives after deducting the variable cost it has incurred.
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable costs
Contribution margin or contribution to sales ratio represents the percentage of contribution a firm earns from the sale of it's output.
It is represented mathematically as,
=
Also, contribution margin ratio = 100 - variable cost ratio percentage.
Hence, contribution margin for three departments would be:
A = 100 - 30% = 70%
B = 100 - 40% = 60%
C = 100- 50% = 50%
This represents if sales revenue is 100, contribution margin earned is 70, 60 and 50 under three cases.
Since sales revenue in all three departments is the same, let us assume the sales revenue of a department as y.
Thus, weighted average contribution margin would be, 60 percent
