The Perez Lumber Company sells boards in a perfectly competitive market. The current marginal cost of boards at the current outp

ut of 445 board feet per month is $3.57 per board foot. The price of lumber is currently $3.57 per board foot, and the minimum possible average variable cost of producing lumber is $3.88 per board foot. If the firm wants to maximize profit (or minimize losses), it should a. shut down immediately. b. continue producing at its current output level. c. decrease monthly output to 200 board feet. d. increase monthly output above 445 board feet. I believe that the answer is C (and if not that, A), but I do not know how to actually reason/explain my answer (if I am even correct). Help would be great! Thank you.

Harman [31]

Answer: The answer is b

Explanation:

The concept of advertising response function is based on the theory of marginal physical product and shows the relationship between advertising and the level of consumption of the goods by the consumers. The theory of marginal physical product states that when there is a change in total product resulting from one unit change in the quantity of the resources used per unit of time. When average product is increasing ,marginal physical product is greater than average product,when average product is maximum ,marginal physical equals average product .when average product is decreasing marginal physical product is less than average product.The theory of marginal physical product can also be called the law of diminishing return which states that if increasing quantities of one factor of production are used in conjunction with a fixed quantity of other factors then, after a certain point each successive unit of the variable factor will make smaller and smaller addition to the total output. In this case, the law tells the Trend Inc when to stop adding more input of the variable factor to a fixed factor.

Invariably, we are saying that it high time for Trend Inc, should spend proportionately less on advertising than on newer line. It should now spend more money on bringing of new product into the market than spending more on the advertisement of the sport shoes because at a certain point the demand for the old product will fall when diminishing return must have set in on the product demand.

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Break even point is calculated as \frac{Fixed\ cost}{Contribution\ per\ unit}

Thus, break even point in units only in two cases,

  2. Contribution per unit is increased.

Now, here the options are

a. Increase in units sales volume is of no relevance as will not impact the fixed cost or contribution per unit.

b. Increase in fixed cost will result in higher break even point, as numerator in the fraction will increase.

c. Increase in unit variable cost will ultimately decrease the contribution thus, it is of no relevance.

d. Increase in selling price will increase the contribution per unit, that is the increase in denominator value in fraction, thus, break even units will decrease.

Correct option is
