Answer:

see explaination

Explanation:

Since marginal cost is zero in this case. Cartel will select the output such that MR=0

We observe that MR=0 at Q=2000 units

Corresponding price for a output of 2000 units is $1.50

So,

Output of each firm=q=Q/2=2000/2=10000

Profit of each firm=P*q-total cost=1.5*1000-0=$1500

So,

Profit for Quick Buch=$1500

Profit for Pushy Sales=$1500

Since Quick buck reduces the price to $1, it will capture the whole quantity demanded

Total quantity demanded at price of $1=3000

Profit for quick buck=P*Q-Total Cost=1*3000-0=$3000

Profit for Pushy Sales=P*Q-Total Cost=1.5*0-0=$0

Piedmont Company segments its business into two regions - North and South.
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

1. Company-wide break-even point in dollar sales:

Break even point in dollar sales = (Traceable fixed expenses + Common fixed expenses) / Contribution margin %

Contribution margin % = Contribution margin / Sales revenue * 100%

= 240,000 / 800,000 * 100%

= 30%

Break even point in dollar sales :

=  (122,000 + 52,000) / 30%

= $580,000

2. Break-even point in dollar sales for the North region.

Break even point in dollar sales = Traceable fixed costs / Contribution margin %

Contribution margin % = Contribution margin / Sales revenue * 100%

= 120,000 / 600,000 * 100%

= 20%

Break even point in dollar sales :

= 61,000 / 20%

= $305,000

3. Break-even point in dollar sales for the South region.

Break even point in dollar sales = Traceable fixed costs / Contribution margin %

Contribution margin % = Contribution margin / Sales revenue * 100%

= 120,000 / 200,000 * 100%

= 60%

Break even point in dollar sales :

= 61,000 / 60%

= $101,666.67
