Benson Company produces flash drives for computers which have variable costs of $10 per flash drive to produce. Each flash drive

sells for $20 each. During the current month, 1,000 flash drives were sold. Fixed costs for the current month were $4,500. If variable costs increase by 10%, what happens to the breakeven level in units for the month for Benson Company? It is 10% lower than the original breakeven point. It depends on the number of units the company expects to produce and sell. It increases by 50 units. It is 10% higher than the original breakeven point.

Answer:

It increases by 50 units.

Explanation:

Current break even point = \frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution\:per\:unit}

Here, fixed cost = $4,500

Contribution per unit = Selling price - Variable Cost = $20 - $10 = $10

Current break even point = \frac{4,500}{10} = 450 units

If variable cost increase by 10% then revised variable cost = $10 + 10% = $11

Contribution per unit = $20 - $11 = $9 per unit

Break even sales in units = \frac{4,500}{9} = 500 units

Difference in original and revised break even = Revised - Original = 500 - 450 units = 50 units,

Thus original break even increases by 50 units, = 50/450 = 11.11% increase.

Final Answer

It increases by 50 units.

For a perfectly competitive firm, a. the marginal revenue curve and the demand curve are the same. b. the marginal revenue curve
Harman [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: the marginal revenue curve and the demand curve are the same.

Explanation:

To begin with, the concept of<em> ''perfectly competitive market''</em> refers to the market where there are a lot of firms and their products are exactly the same with no differentation, therefore that they can not establish an influence in the price. In addition to that, in this type of market the equilibrium is in the point where the marginal revenue equals the marginal cost and in this case where there is no influence from the firms then the price of the product will be established by the demand itself and therefore that also the marginal revenue of the firm as well.

Zack has two savings accounts with a total of $9,000. he withdrew 10% from one and 60% from the other to buy his girlfriend an e
skelet666 [1.2K]
Originally,
Let x = the balance in the first account.
Let y = the balance in the second account.

The total amount in the two accounts is $9,000, therefore
x + y = 9000                      (1)

Zack withdraws 10% of x and 60% of y for a total of $2,175.
Therefore
0.1x + 0.6y = 2175
or
x + 6y = 21750                   (2)

Subtract (1) from (2).
x + 6y - (x + y) = 21750 - 9000
5y = 12750
y = 2550
From (1), obtain
x = 9000 - 2550 = 6450

The balance in the first account is
0.9*x = 0.9*6450 = $5,805
The remaining balance in the second account is
0.4*y = 0.4*2550 = $1,020

Answer:
The balance in the first account is $5,805
The balance in the second account is $1,020
