Answer:

For firms, Rent Seeking usually involves: <u>restricting supply in order to increase price</u>

Explanation:

An example of rent-seeking in a modern economy is spending money on lobbying for government subsidies in order to be given wealth that has already been created, or to impose regulations on competitors, in order to increase market share.

A rent seeking firm have a greater incentive to engage in rent-seeking behavior when demand is elastic because the restriction imposed on competitors will not affect the demand for the goods.

Answer:

Product                  Selling price   Unit variable cost

                                       $                        $

Trunk switch                  60                     28

Gas door switch            75                      33

Glove box light              <u>40</u>                     <u> 22</u>

                                      <u> 175 </u>                   <u> 83</u>

Composite contribution margin

= Composite selling price - Composite unit variable cost

= $175 - $83

= $92

Composite contribution margin ratio

= <u>Composite contribution margin</u>

  Composite selling price

= <u>$92</u>

  $175

= 0.525714285

Composite break-even point in dollars

= <u>Fixed cost</u>

  Composite contribution margin ratio

=<u> $18,840</u>

  0.525714285

=  $35,837

Explanation:

In this case, there is need to add all the selling prices to obtain composite selling price. We also need to add all the unit variable costs to derive composite unit variable cost.

Composite contribution equals composite selling price minus composite unit variable cost.

Composite contribution margin ratio is the ratio of composite contribution to composite selling price.

Composite break-even point in dollars equal fixed cost divided by composite contribution margin ratio.
