Answer:

The slope of the demand curve at point A is  - $0.40/unit

The slope of the demand curve at point B is - $0.14/unit

Explanation:

See the file attached with the figure corresponding to this question.

The slope of a curve at a given point is the slope of the line tangent to the curve at that point.

Point A:

The tangent line to the demand curve at point A is drawn and passes through the points (20, 34) and (45, 24).Then, the slope is:

slope = rise / run = ΔP / Δq = $ (34 - 24) / (20 - 45) units

slope = - $10 /25units = - $2/5units = - $0.40/unit.

The minus sign indicates the that price decreases when the quantity increases

Point B:

The tangent line to the demand curve at point B passes through the points (90, 12) and (140, 5).Then, the slope is:

slope = rise / run = ΔP / Δq = $ (12 - 5) / (90 - 140) units

slope = - $7 /50units = - $7/50units = - $0.14/unit.

Again, the negative sign indicates that when the number of units increase the price decreases.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Minimum Transfer Price is $3.50

Explanation:

The Minimum transfer price is calculated by adding the variable cost per unit with the opportunity cost. In this case where the clock division is not operating at full capacity then the opportunity cost would be considered as $0.

Moreover, the division would be able to avoid a $0.5 cost per clock. Therefore, the variable cost will be $3.50 ($4 - $0.5) after eliminating the $0.5.

Finally, the minimum transfer would as follows:

Minimum Transfer Price = Variable cost + Opportunity Cost

Minimum Transfer Price = $3.50 + $0

Minimum Transfer Price = $3.50

Profit margin ratio = Net operating profit/ Sales× 100

Industrial profit margin ratio

Net operating margin - 218,000

Net Sales - 1,750,000

Profit margin ratio

= 218,000/1,750,000 × 100

= 12.5%
