Answer:

x = 5,408 Books

Explanation:

Cost equations

c(x) = 2.20x + 53,000

Revenue equation

r(x) = 12x

Break even is when Revenue = cost

12x = 2.20x + 53000

12x - 2.20x = 53000

9.8x = 53000

x = 53,000/9.8

x = 5,408 Books

Prove

Rev: 12(5,408) = $64,896.00

Cost: 2.20(5,408) + 53,000

=11,897.6+53,000= 64,897.6

Therefore 5,408 books must be produced and sold for the publisher to break​ even.

Answer:

5,409 books

Explanation:

to calculate break even point in units we can use the following formula:

break even point in units = total fixed costs / contribution margin per unit

  • total fixed costs = $53,000
  • contribution margin per unit = sales price - variable costs = $12 - $2.20 = $9.80

break even point in units = $53,000 / $9,80 = 5,408.16 ≈ 5,409 books

in $, that would equal = 5,409 books x $12 per book = $64,908

When the price of Nike soccer balls fell, Ronaldo purchased more Nike soccer balls, and fewer Adidas soccer balls. Which of the
Pie

Answer:

The correct answer is (A)

Explanation:

Nike and Adidas are considered as substitute goods that means they have positive cross elasticity of demand. When the price of Nike soccer balls fell, Rolando purchased more Nike balls compared to Adidas balls because of the substitution effect. The substitution effect led to this decision. A substitute effect is a change in the purchase decision, due to an increase in the price of one substitute good.

Assume that the money demand function is (M/P)d = 2,200 – 200r, where r is the interest rate in percent. The money supply M is 2
liubo4ka [24]

Answer: The nominal money supply should set at 1,600.

Explanation:

Given that,

Money demand function: (M/P)d = 2,200 – 200r

r - Interest rate

Money supply (M) = 2,000

Price level (P) = 2

If the fed wants to set the interest rate at 7% then,

Money supply = money demand

(\frac{M}{P})^{s} = (\frac{M}{P})^{d}

\frac{M}{P} = 2,200 – 200r

P = 2 and r = 7%

\frac{M}{2} = 2,200 – 200 × 7

                            M = 800 × 2

                            M = 1,600

The nominal money supply should set at 1,600.

In the perfectly competitive gadget industry there are 10 firms with identical costs given by C = 500 + 20q + q2, none of which
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The explanation is below

Explanation:

A.  Shutdown point is achieved when price equal AVC. when price lowers than the AVC, firm shutdown.

VC = q^2

AVC = q

So,

P = q is the shutdown point.

B.  For profit maximizing level of output,

P = MR = MC

500 = 20 + 2q

q = 240 units

So, profit maximization level of output = 240 units

C.  Firm level supply curve = MC curve above the shutdown point

Number of firms = 5

So,

Industry supply curve = 10*MC = 200+20Q

Industry supply curve = 200+20Q

It shows that MC curve above the shutdown point is supply curve.

Less Costs:Size related ($183.06)

($1.13 per guest × 162 guests)

Less Complexity-related ($130.56)

($43.52 per tier × 3 tiers)

Less Order-related ($61.44)
