Answer:
The marginal revenue = $2
Explanation:
Firstly we calculate the value in dollars for the number of boxes sold
For 100 boxes, we have 100 * 2 = $200
For 200 boxes, we have 200 * 2 = $400
Mathematically, the marginal revenue = (cost of 200 boxes- cost of 100 boxes)/difference in quantity
= (400-200)/(200-100) = 200/100 = $2
Thus affirms the fact that for a perfectly competitive firm, marginal revenue MR = P (price)
Answer:
The markup calculated as a result of information about the elasticity of demand
Explanation:
As a monopoly seller of pharmaceutical products the price set as markup would be above our marginal cost.
There are three facts about markup:
1. The Markup is not to be a price below marginal cost of the pharmaceutical product.
2. Markup is smaller when demand is more elastic. Remember if the price elasticity of demand is lower than 1, (negative) a rise in price causes an
increase in revenue for the seller.
Therefore having a -4 elasticity of demand could imply more profits for the firm.
Answer:
There is a loss on buying from outside supplier ,Peach's offer should not be accepted.
Explanation:
Variable cost is a cost that varies with number of units produced or sold so it is always a relevant cost while making decision.
Fixed cost remains constant irrespective of number of units so it is a irrelevant cost unless avoidable.So in the given case ,fixed cost $70 is irrelevant since same will be incurred whether purchased or manufactured.
Incremental savings
Saving in variable cost 220
saving in fixed cost 25
Total saving 245
less: Incremental cost (270)
Incremental profit /(loss) on buying from outside supplier (25)
Total loss 25*5900= -147500
Therefore, There is a loss on buying from outside supplier ,Peach's offer should not be accepted.
