Answer:

Total differential cost= -$73300

Explanation:

Equipment rental is equal in both alternatives, so it is not relevant for making a decision.

Costs Alternative A:

Material costs $ 38,000

Processing costs 43,000

Building costs 13,700

Total= $94700

Costs Alternative B:

Material costs $ 66,000

Processing costs $66,00

Building costs $36,000

Total= $168,000

Total differential cost= 168000-94700=$73300

Alternative B costs $73300 more than Alternative A. Based only on this information, alternative A is better than alternative B.

natulia [17]

Answer: The correct answer is <u>$150.</u>

Explanation:  

We know that the marginal cost of hiring a third worker is $ 40. And that the average total cost when 3 workers are hired is $ 50. The average total cost formula is:

Average total cost = (total cost) ÷ (number of workers)

Then we solve the equation in 3 steps:

1) $ 50 = X ÷ 3

2) $ 50 × 3 = X

3) $ 150 = X

We can diagram the workers cost chart

Number of workers - Marginal cost - Total cost

              1                -         $60         -     $60

              2               -         $50         -     $110  

              3               -         $40         -     $150

larisa86 [58]

Answer: The price level  chosen to maximize profits will be $ 6.71

Explanation:

Whenever there is price fixing between two competitors, and one of the competitor decides to choose a price level. Such competitor must ensure that the price level chosen to maximize profit does not exceed his or her competitor's marginal cost but can be  above his or her marginal cost .

Since the price fixing is $10 from previous cartel price so the best price level to maximize the profit would be less than my  rival's  price of   $ 6.72 and more than my  marginal cost of $ 6.70  which is $ 6.71

romanna [79]

Answer:

21.26%

Explanation:

Overall rate of return = Total amount of dollar returns / Total investment

Overall rate of return =  [($18,000 * 26%) + ($22,000 * 15%) + ($70,000 * 22%)] / $110,000

Overall rate of return = ($4680 + $3300 + $15400) / $110,000

Overall rate of return = $23,380 / $110,000

Overall rate of return = 0.21255

Overall rate of return = 21.26%
