Answer:
A. 15 units
B. $130
Explanation:
In order to solve this, we need to use the profit maximization condition for monopoly.
MR = MC will give us the optimal quantity and price for the monopolist.
The consumer's demand for the product is:
Qd = 80 - 0.5P
Therefore, we have:
P = (80 / 0.5) - (Qd / 0.5)
P = 160 - 2Qd
Recall that, Total Revenue:
TR = P * Q
So, in this case TR = 160Q - 2Q^2
MR = d(TR) / dQ = 160 - 4Q
Now, MR = MC
160 - 4Q = 100
4Q = 160 - 100
4Q = 60
Q = 60 / 4
Q = 15 units.
Now, P =160 - 2Q
P = 160 - 2(15)
P = 160 - 30 = 130
The optimal number of units to be placed in a package will therefore be 15 units while the firm should charge $130 for this package.
Answer: Interest expense=$108
Explanation:
Interest expense =Principal x Rate x Time ( Period)
Where
Principal = $16,200
Rate =, 8%
TIme ( Period ) = From December 1st to 31`st = 30 days
Interest expense= P x R x T
= $16,200 X 0.08 X 30/360
=$108
The amount of interest expense accrued at December 31 on the note is $108
Answer:
$22,500
Explanation:
Chance of getting low quality car = 50%
Chance of getting high quality car = 50%
Cost of low quality car = $15,000
Cost of high quality car = $30,000
So, Price of the car = 50% of lower quality + 50% of higher quality
= (50% × $15,000) + (50% ×30,000)
= $7,500 + $15,000
= $22,500
Hence, price of the used car will be $22,500.
Answer:
$519,800
Explanation:
Variable cost per unit = $5.90 + $5.30 + $8.90 + $0.60
Variable cost per uni= $20.70
Fixed cost total = $32,000 + $178,000 + $7,000 + $20,000
Fixed cost total = $237,000
Cash disbursements for December = (Variable selling and administrative cost per unit*Number of unit (Yutes) sold) + (Fixed manufacturing overhead less depreciation)
= (14,000 * $20.70) + ($237,000 − $7,000)
= $289800 + $230,000
= $519,800
