the end consumer (landscapers and retail customers).

Margarita's roses are in great demand as evidenced by the wholesale price she charges nurseries, $15 per potted plant. Exotic Roses has the following cost structure (variable costs are per potted plant): Fixed Costs per Year Variable Costs Plant materials $ 0.50 Pot 0.30 Labor $ 8,000 0.70 Utilities 9,000 Rent 7,500 Other costs 2,500 Required: a. How many potted rose plants must Exotic Roses sell each year to break even? b. If Rameriz wants to make profits of $10,000 before taxes per year, how many potted rose plants must be sold? c.

Answer:

A) break even point= 1407 pots

B) pots= 2148 units

C) pots= 2547 units

Explanation:

We were provided with the following information:

Price= $15

Variable Costs:

Plant materials $ 0.50

Pot 0.30

Labor $ 8,000 ($0.70 hour)

Fixed Costs

Utilities 9,000

Rent 7,500

Other costs 2,500

A) break-even point= fixed cost/ contribution margin

Fixed cost= 9000+7500+2500= $19000

CM= P - Vc= 15 - (0,50+0,30+0,70)=$13,5

break-even point= 19000/13,5= 1407 units

B) Profit= $10000

break-even point= (fixed cost+profit)/ contribution margin

break-even point= 29000/13,5= 2148 units

C) t= 0,35

Profit before taxes= profit after taxes/(1-t)= 10000/0,65=$15385

break-even point= (fixed cost+profit before taxes)/ contribution margin= (15385+19000)/ 13,5= 2547 units

Do you agree with the following statement: AVC and MC intersect at the minimum of marginal cost. a. Yes, since an upward sloping
insens350 [35]

Answer: c. No, since the MC and AVC curve intersect at the minimum of AVC

Explanation:

Marginal cost is the cost of producing one extra unit of a product while average cost is the average of all the units produced so far. Therefore, when Marginal cost is low, it pulls the average costs down with it because it will be lower than the Average costs.

However, as Marginal costs start to rise, average cost will still be low because it is taking into account the lower previous marginal costs. Marginal cost will then keep rising until it intersects the average costs at it's minimum. Once this happens Average cost will start being pulled up because the current high costs will on average eclipse the current low costs.
