A manager in your organization just received a special order at a price that is "below cost." The manager points to the document

and says, "These are the kinds of orders that will get you in trouble. Every sale must bear its share of the full costs of running the business. If we sell below our full cost, we'll be out of business in no time." What do you think of this remark?

Answer:

So, from a short-run perspective, so long as the sale does not affect other output prices or normal sales volume, a "below cost" sale may result in a net increase in income so long as the revenues cover the differential costs.

However, in the long run all costs must be covered or management would not reinvest in the same type of assets.

If the company must continually sell below the full cost of production then it will most likely get out of that particular business when it comes time to replace those facilities.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The amount patent(s) should be reported on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet, assuming monthly amortization of patents, is $32,300.

Explanation:

This can be calculated as follows:

Patent book value = $249,600

Remaining useful years January 1, 2020 = 8

Remaining useful months of the patents from January 1, 2020 = Remaining useful years January 1, 2020 * 12 8 * 12 = 96

Monthly Patent book value = Patent book value / Remaining useful months = $249,600 = $2,600

Patent book value amortized from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020 = Monthly Patent book value * 12 = $2,600 * 12 = $31,200

Legal fee incurred = $93,500

Number of months from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020 = 11

Relevant months of legal fee incurred starting from December 1, 2020 = Remaining useful months of the patents from January 1, 2020 - Number of months from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020 = 96 - 11 = 85

Monthly legal fee = Legal fee incurred / Relevant months of legal fee incurred starting from December 1, 2020 = $93,500 / 85 = $1,100

Amount to report = Patent book value amortized from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020 + Monthly legal fee for December 1, 2020 only = $31,200 + $1,100 = $32,300

Therefore, the amount patent(s) should be reported on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet, assuming monthly amortization of patents, is $32,300.

Which of the following are necessary conditions for successful price discrimination?
mixer [17]

Answer:

d. at least two different markets with different price elasticities of demand

Explanation:

The theory of microeconomics about price differentiation is based on the concept of elasticity of demand. Price elasticity of demand is a measure of the sensitivity of demand for a good or service to changes in the price of that product. We say that the price elasticity of demand is elastic when a percentage change in the price of this good has major impacts on demand. On the contrary, we say that the price elasticity of demand is inelastic when variations in the price of goods have little or no influence on demand.

For price discrimination to take place, the offeror must be able to sell the same product at different prices to at least two different groups. This will depend on the price elasticity of consumer demand for the good in each of the markets. Thus, if one group is less elastic than the other, the offeror will be able to sell the goods at different prices.

An example: air market. Consumers are often more price sensitive when traveling for tourism than for business. Thus, a higher price may be charged to executives. which has lower price elasticity of demand than tourists.
