learn more about that demand. She has tested the market for her pies by charging different prices. When she charges $4 per pie, she sells 30 pies per week. When she charges $5, she sells 24 pies per week. If she charges $4.50, she sells 27 apple pies per week.
a. Is the apple pie market perfectly competitive? Why or why not?

b. With this data, draw a graph of the linear demand curve for Grannyâs apple pies.

Answer:

A. Apple Pie Market Not perfectly competitive

B. Demand Curve Equation : q = 8.84 - 0.16p

C. Price Elasticity of Demand : 0.8 , 1.25

Explanation:

A. The Apple pie market is not perfectly competitive because the perfectly competitive market has large no of buyers & sellers, the demand is perfectly inelastic (infinite demand at given constant prices). However in this market , apple pie demand (sales) are responding to price change , so its not perfectly competitive

B. Demand curve is the graphical representation of price, demand. The Demand curve function : q = a - bp ;  where q = quantity, p = price, a = autonomous demand , b = represents price demand relationship & is negative because of negative price demand relationship (Law of Demand).

Putting q & p given values : 4 = a - 30b ; 5 = a - 24 b. Solving these two equations for a & b , we get : a = 8.84 , b = 0.16 . So, the demand curve equation becomes : q = 8.84 - 0.16p  & plotting this equation , we get demand curve.

C. Price Elasticity of Demand is responsiveness of demand to price change. Formula : %change in demand/ %change in price =  ∆Q /∆P X P/Q

P    Q

4    30  (*)

5    24  (**)

4.5   27 (***)

Ped (*, **) =  ∆Q /∆P X P/Q =  (6 / 1) x (4/30) = 0.8

Ped (*, **) =  (3 / 0.5) x (4/30) = 0.8

Ped (**, ***) = (3 / 0.5) x (5/24) = 1.25

Given that <span>Dave Klein is a produce farmer in Northern California. His major customers are grocery stores in the midwest. Dave's product is a perishable item and will only last for about 2 weeks after it has been picked, so Dave is concerned with getting his product to his customers quickly. he ships almost daily when his produce is in season. However, he also needs to be aware of the cost of shipping.

The form of shipping Dave will most likely use is truck.</span>

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

$21,800

Explanation:

The computation of 4-year revenue is as shown below:-

Bond Income of 4th Year = Face amount × Bond × 1 ÷ 2

= $500,000 × 8% × 1 ÷ 2

= $20,000

Interest Revenue = Bond Income + Amount of Discount Amortized

= $20,000 + $1,800

= $21,800

Therefore for computing the interest revenue we simply bond income with the amount of discount amortized.

A business operated at 100% of capacity during its first month and incurred the following costs: Production costs (18,200 units)
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Option A,$257,732 is correct

Explanation:

The computation of income from operations requires that the operating expenses(variable operating expenses and fixed operating expenses) be deducted in the current period as against charging a portion to closing inventory as it is obtainable under the absorption costing method:

Direct materials                                            $180,100

Direct labor                                                   $238,100

Variable factory overhead                            $261,800

Total prime costs                                              $680,000  

Less closing stock(1900*$680,000/18200)    ($70,989)  

Costs of good sold                                            $609,011  

add:operating expenses:

variable operating expenses                            $126,500

Fixed operating expenses                                 $49,900

Fixed factory overhead                                       $97,900

Total expenses                                                     $883,311  

income from operations=sales-total expenses

                                        =$1,141,000-$883,311=$257,689

The $257,689 is closest to option A,$257,732 the difference could be due to rounding error

german

Answer:

Horatio Alger

1. The unit contribution for Brand X is = $0.79

2. Brand X's break-even point (in units) = 1,816,456 (in sales dollars) = $1,816,456

3. The market share that Brand X needs to break-even

= 9.1%

4. Brand X's profit impact is 48.9% or $2,347,000

a. If the advertising budget is raised, units that Brand X have to sell to break-even is:

= 2,449,367 units

b. The units that Brand X have to sell in order for it to achieve the same profit impact that it did this year is:

= 5,865,886 units

c. Brand X's market share have to be 25.5% next year for its profit impact to be the same as this year.

d. Brand X's market share have to be 16.2% for it to have a $1 million profit impact.

5. a. Break-even sales units = 2,474,138 units

b. Break-even sales units = 6,520,690 units

c. Brand X's market share have to be 32.6% for its profit impact to remain at this year's level.

d. Brand X's market share have to be 15.4% to generate a profit impact of $350,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Retail price of Brand X = $1.00

Units sold = 24% of 20 million = 4,800,000 units

Total sales revenue =              $1.00  $4,800,000

Variable costs:

Manufacturing                         $0.09

Selling commision (10% of $1) $0.10

Other selling expense            $0.02

Total variable costs per unit   $0.21  $1,008,000

Contribution margin per unit $0.79  $3,782,000

Fixed costs:

Manufacturing                $900,000

Advertising                       500,000

Brand X manager's salary 35,000    $1,435,000

Net income =                                     $2,347,000

Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit = $1,435,000/$0.79 = 1,816,456 units

The market share that Brand X needs to break-even

= 1,816,456/20,000,000

= 9.1%

Brand X's profit impact = 48.9% ($2,347,000/$4,800,000 * 100)

With increase in advertising budget to $1 million next year,

a. Units to break-even = $1,935,000/$0.79 = 2,449,367 units

b. Units to achieve same profit impact:

Sales increased by 15% (3/20 * 100)

Net income will increase to = $2,699,050 ($2,347,000 * 1.15)  to make the same impact

Therefore, the units to achieve same profit impact = ($1,935,000 + $2,699,050)/$0.79

= $4,634,050/$0.79

= 5,865,886 units

Market share next year = 25.5% (5,865,886/23,000,000)

Market share to achieve $1 million profit impact

= (FC + Profit target)/$0.79

=  $1,935,000 + $1,000,000)/$0.79

= $2,935,000/$0.79

= $3,715,190

= $3,715,190/$23,000,000 * 100 = 16.2%

Fixed costs = $1,435,000

Retailer's margin raise = 40% from 33%, a 21.2% increase or decrease in price

Therefore, the new selling price = $1.00 * (1 - 0.212) = $0.79

Variable cost = $0.21

Contribution margin = $0.58

To break-even, FC/Contribution margin per unit

= $1,435,000/$0.58

= 2,474,138 units

Break-even units to achieve profit of $2,347,000 = ($1,435,000 + $2,347,000)/$0.58

= 6,520,690 units

Sales = $5,151,345 (6,520,690 * $0.79)

Market sales revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)

= $5,151,345/$15,800,000 * 100

= 32.6%

Market impact of $350,000

Break-even units ($1,435,000 + $350,000)/$0.58

= 3,077,586 units

Sales revenue = $2,431,293 (3,077,586 * $0.79)

Market revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)

Market share = $2,431,293/$15,800,000 * 100

= 15.4%
