Complete Question:

Two new rides are being compared by a local amusement park in terms of their annual operating costs. The two rides are assumed to be able to generate the same level of revenue (and thus the focus on costs). The Tummy Tugger has fixed costs of $10,000 per year and variable costs of $2.50 per visitor. The Head Buzzer has fixed costs of $4000 per year, and variable costs of $4 per visitor. Provide answers to the following questions so the amusement park can make the needed comparison.

Requirement:

Mathematically determine the breakeven number of visitors per year for the two rides to have equal annual costs.

Answer:

4000 visitors

Explanation:

As we know that:

Total Annual Cost  = Variable Cost Per Unit * Total Units    +  Fixed Costs

For <u>Tummy Tugger,</u>

Variable Cost per Unit is $2.5 per visitor

Total Units are not given so we assume it to be "x"

Fixed cost is $10,000

By putting values we have:

Total Annual Cost  = $2.50x + $10,000 ........ Equation 2

Similarly for <u>Head Buzzer</u>,

Variable Cost per Unit is $4 per visitor

Total Units are not given so we assume it to be "x"

Fixed cost is $4,000

By putting values we have:

Total Annual Cost  = $4x + $4,000 .......... Equation 3

As per the requirement, the annual cost for both of the rides is same for the year, which means that Equation 2 is equal to Equation 3.

Mathematically,

2.50x + 10000 = $4x + 4000

$10,000 - $4,000 = $4x - $2.5x

$6,000 = $1.5x

x= $6,000 / $1.5 per unit   = <u>4,000 Units</u>

At 4000 visitors for a year, the annual cost of both rides is the same.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:So far we have learned to measure real GDP, but how do we end up with that real GDP? Of all of the different amounts of national income and price levels that might exist, how do we gravitate toward the one that gets measured each year as real GDP?

In short, it is the interaction of the buyers and producers of all output that determines both the national income (real GDP) and the price level. In other words, the intersection of aggregate demand (AD) and short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) determines the short-run equilibrium output and price level.

Once we have a short-run equilibrium output, we can then compare it to the full employment output to figure out where in the business cycle we are. If current real GDP is less than full employment output, an economy is in a recession. If current real GDP is higher than full employment output, an economy is experiencing a boom. If the current output is equal to the full employment output, then we say that the economy is in long-run equilibrium. Output isn’t too low, or too high. It’s just right.
