Answer:

<h2>Because firms in a perfectly competitive market does not have any price making ability or market power,they are not able to engage in any price discrimination.Hence,the correct answer is  the last option or True,because perfectly competitive firms have no market power.</h2>

Explanation:

In Microeconomics,perfectly competitive markets are characterized by many buyers and sellers in which the sellers and firms usually sell homogeneous or identical products.Now,as there are many firms in the market and no barriers to entry for new firms into the market,the market competition or rivalry is high and hence,no single firm has the ability to determine and manipulate the market price according to their own economic advantage because if any firm tries to do so,it will loose significant market share as most customers would move to other sellers/firms charging lower price or regular market price.Therefore,the market price is fixed in the perfectly competitive market as the firms do not have price making or market power.Consequently,they are not able to charge different prices to different customers according to their maximum willingness to pay or differences in price preferences.

The crossover point is that production quantity where: _________
Vanyuwa [196]

The crossover point is that production quantity where total costs for one process equal total costs for another process. Hence, option D is correct.

<h3>What is crossover point?</h3>

Financial independence is secured when investment income exceeds regular income. In financial jargon, this is known as the "cross over point."

When the production expenses for one product are the same as those for another product, there is an added benefit to selling any product because the cost is the same and the income will be higher from each unit, independent of the number of units sold.

Thus, option D is correct.

Products                    M            N            O

Current sales mix      3             1             2

Unit sales price      $16         $11          $13

b) The contribution margin per composite unit is computed as the addition of the contribution margin per composite unit for each product.  Each product's contribution margin per composite unit is calculated as the contribution per unit multiplied by the sales mix for each product.

A new company to produce state-of-the-art car stereo systems is being considered by Jagger Enterprises. The sales price would be
dybincka [34]

<u>Solution:</u>

The price per variable unit is set at 1.5 times the cost; the VC / unit is estimated at $2.50.

Price = 2.5 * 2.50 = $6.25

Variable cost = $2.50

Fixed cost = $220,000

Break-Even Volume = Fixed cost / (Price - Variable cost)

                                  = $220.000 / (6.25 - 2.50)

Break-Even Volume = 58,667 units

A machine which cost $400,000 is acquired on January 1, 2017. Its estimated salvage value is $100,000 and its expected life is f
Soloha48 [4]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for 2017 and 2018 under the following methods

a. Straight-line method

= (Purchase cost - residual value) ÷ (estimated life)

= ($400,000 - $100,000) ÷ (5 years)

= $60,000

Since the depreciation expense under this method would remain the same for the remaining useful life

So for 2017 and 2018, the depreciation expense i.e. $60,000 would be charged every year.

b. Under the sum-of-the-year-digits method

For 2017,

= ($400,000 - $100,000) × 5 years ÷ ( 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1)

= $300,000 × 5 years ÷ 15 years

= $100,000

For 2018, the book value is

= $400,000 - $100,000

The $100,000 is the depreciation expense of 2017 year

= $300,000 × 4 ÷ 15

= $80,000
