Answer:

a.Titanium = $2,890,500

Platinum = $5,185,000

b. Platinum is more profitable

Explanation:

The computation of given question is shown below:

For Titanium

Total gross margin = 5,000 × $1,590

= $7,950,000

Salaries and bonus of Customer representative = ($68,000 × 5,000 ÷ 200) + (1% × $7,950,000)

= $1,700,000 + $79,500

= $1,779,500

b.

Promotion cost = $2,850,000 × 80%

= $2,280,000

Excess of gross margin over customer costs = Total gross margin - Salaries and bonus of Customer representative - Promotion cost

= $7,950,000 - $1,779,500 - $2,280,000

= $2,890,500

For Platinum

Total Gross margin = 20,000 × $ 325

= $6,500,000

Salaries and bonus of Customer representative = ($68,000 × 20,000 ÷ 2,000) + (1% × $6,500,000 )

= $680,000 + $65,000

= $745,000

Cost of promotion = $2,850,000 × 20%

= $570,000

Since, 80% is allocated for promotion expenses of titanium so we assume 20% for Platinum

Excess of gross margin over customer costs = Total Gross margin - Salaries and bonus of Customer representative - Cost of promotion

= $6,500,000  - $745,000 - $570,000

= $5,185,000

B. Since, Platinum is higher than Titanium. So, Platinum is more profitable.

Answer:

B) the same amount of capital and labor

Explanation:

Only an increase in productivity shifts the production function upward given that all factors of production remain the same. Generally technology improves productivity and causes those shifts.  

Productivity measures the rate of output per unit of input. E.g. I write 10 pages per hour. If my writing productivity increases, I will write 12 pages per hour. Labor productivity is measured by the amount of output produced per hour worked.
