Answer: D) Will earn higher profits or experience smaller losses as a result of change in the market

Explanation:

Perfect (pure) competition is a market form with very large no. of buyers (firms) & sellers, homogeneous products , uniform price , perfect information about prices .

So , in such case - firms are only 'price takers' from the industry price maker.

Increase in market demand for the industry product will shift the downward sloping market demand curve rightwards & firm's horizontal demand /AR / MR curve (horizontal because of uniform price & perfectly elastic demand) upwards .

This increase in marginal / average revenue will increase the perfect competition firm's profit or reduce its losses .

Madison Corporation sells three products (M, N, and O) in the following mix: 3:1:2. Unit price and cost data are: M N O Unit sal
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The answer is 629,000.

Explanation:

  • For each unit of M sold, the price is 7 and the cost is 3, so the contribution margin is 4;
  • For each unit of N sold, the price is 4 and the cost is 2, so the contribution margin is 2;
  • For each unit of O sold, the price is 6 and the cost is 3, so the contribution margin is 3;
  • With the mix, 1 unit of sale contributes (contribution per mix) 3*M+1*N+2*O = 3*4+1*2+2*3 = 20

For covering the 340,000 of fixed costs, you have to sale 340,000/20 units. That's equal to 17,000 units.

Each unit of sales is equal to (price per mix) 7*M+4*N+6*O = 7*3+4*1+6*2 = 37. So, with 17,000 units, the total sales will be 17,000 * 37 = 629,000.

Leni [432]

Answer:

$208

Explanation:

Using the FIFO Inventory method, inventory items are assumed to be sold in the order in which they were purchased from the earliest to the latest.

The order of purchase of the inventory items are.

Jun. 1, DVD Player 1012, $113

Nov. 1, DVD Player 1045, $95

Nov. 31, DVD Player 1056, $88

Therefore, if two of the three items are sold, the cost of goods sold is the cost of the first two items purchased

= 113 + 95 = $208.

A bakery buys sugar in 15-pound bags. The bakery uses 5000 bags of sugar each year. Carrying costs are $20 per bag per year. Ord
Marianna [84]

Answer:

the total cost of ordering and holding sugar is $1,000 per year

Explanation:

<em>Step 1 Calculate the Economic Order Quantity(EOQ).</em>

EOQ = √(2×Total Demand×Ordering cost)/ Holding Cost per Unit

        = √(2×250×20×5)/20

        = 50

<em>Step 2 Calculate the total  cost of ordering and holding sugar</em>

Total cost = Ordering Cost + Holding Cost

                = (250×20)/50 × $5 + 50/2 × $20

                = $500+$500

                = $1,000

Therefore,  the total cost of ordering and holding sugar is $1,000 per year
