Answer:

C. 40 customers at $25.00 each

Explanation:

<em>To avoid losing money on the Trip the total contribution from the trip should be equal to the fixed cost of $400 for car rent</em>

<em>contribution/person = price per trip - admission and lunch cost</em>

<em>Break even number of person = Fixed cost/cont per person</em>

     contribution/person           minimum no of person to cover Fixed cost

A         15                                           400/15=  26.7          

B         12.5                                       400/12.5  =32

C           10                                       400/ 10    =40

D           7.5                                    400/ 7.5   = 53.

E           5                                            400/ 5  = 80

<em>From the table above it is obvious that at a price of $25 and having  40 persons the fixed cost would be covered and no loss would be made.</em>

Gull Corp. is considering selling its old popcorn machine and replacing it with a newer one. The old machine has a book value of
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer: No. The machine shouldn't be replaced.

Explanation:

Proposal to Replace Equipment

Annual Variable Costs - Present Equipment = $4000

Less: Annual Variable Costs - New Equipment = $1500

Annual Differential Decrease in Cost = $2500

Number of Years Applicable = 5

Total Differential Decrease in Cost = $2500 × 5 = $12500

Proceeds from Sales of Present Equipment = $2000

Cost of New Equipment = $8000

Annual Net Differential Increase in Cost - New Equipment = $18000 - $2000 = $16000

The machine shouldn't be replaced as the total differential decrease in cost is less than the annual net differential increase in cost of the new equipment.

Annual interest rate, r = 6%

Duration, n = 392 years

In competitive markets, a surplus or shortage will select one:
Andrej [43]

Answer: c.  

In a  competitive market, there are many producers competing to provide consumers the products they needed and thus they cannot dictate prices.

If a surplus occurs, there is an excess of quantity supplied and since producers won't be able to sell all their products, they tend or are forced to lower their price.

The reverse happens when there is a shortage. When there is less supply in the market, price increases.

Surplus and shortage in a competitive market, therefore, will cause shifts in the demand and supply curves that tend to eliminate the surplus or shortage.
