ih less material, but one additional worker required. Under the old process, five workers could produce 60 units per hour. labor costs are $12/hour, material input was previously $16/unit. For the process, material is now $10/unit. Overhead is charged at 1.6 times direct labor cost. Finished units sell for $31 each.

Answer:

The productivity increase by 48.83%

Explanation:

old

60 units for 5 workers

5 x $12 = 60

material $16 x 60 = 960

overhead: 60 x 1.6 = 96

total revenue 60 x 31 =  1,860

total cosT: 60 + 960 + 96 = 1,116

productivity index_ 1,860 / 1,116 = 1,667

<em><u>now:</u></em>

output 60 + 25% = 75 units

6 workers x $12 = $72

materials $10 x 75 units = $750

overhead: $72 x 1.6 = $115.2

total revneue 75 units x $31 = 2,325

total cost: 75 + 750 + 115.2 = 940.2

productivity index_ 2,325 / 940.2 = 2,4728

percentage of improvement: ( it is calculate like a return on investment)

(2.4728 - 1.667) / 1.667 = 0.4883 = 48.83%

Dayna’s Doorstops, Inc. (DD) is a monopolist in the doorstop industry. Its cost is C  100  5Q  Q2, and demand is P  55  2Q.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the following data about Dayna's Doorstep Inc(DD) :

Cost given by; C = 100 - 5Q + Q^2

Demand ; P = 55 - 2Q

A.) Set price to maximize output;

Marginal revenue (MR) = marginal cost (MC)

MR = taking first derivative of total revenue with respect to Q; (55 - 2Q^2)

MC = taking first derivative of total cost with respect to Q; (-5Q + Q^2)

MR = 55 - 4Q ; MC = 2Q - 5

55 - 4Q = 2Q - 5

60 = 6Q ; Q = 10

From

P = 55 - 2Q ;

P = 55 - 2(10) = $35

Output

35(10) - [100-5(10)+10^2]

350 - 150 = $200

Consumer surplus:

0.5Q(55-35)

0.5(10)(20) = $100

B.) Here,

Marginal cost = Price

2Q - 5 = 55 - 2Q

4Q = 60 ; Q = 15

P= 55 - 2(15) = $25

Totally revenue - total cost:

(25)(15) - [100-(5)(15)+15^2] = $125

Consumer surplus(CS) :

0.5Q(55-25) = 0.5(15)(30) = $225

C.) Dead Weight loss between Q=10 and Q=15, which is the area below the demand curve and above the marginal cost curve

=0.5×(35-15) ×(15-10)

=0.5×20×5 = $50

D.) If P=$27

27 = 55 - 2Q

2Q = 55 - 27

Q = 14

CS = 0.5×14×(55 - 27) = $196

DWL = 0.5(1)(4) = $2
