Answer: a. $3,400 households

b. No.

Explanation:

a. The cost of the statue is $17,000 and each household is asked to contribute $5 to help cover the cost. To find out how many families one can divide the amount needed by the amount asked of the households,

= 17,000/5

= 3,400 households

If 3,400 households each pay $5 then the town of Artville will be able to afford the statue.

b. This question speaks to a social problem referred to a the Free-rider problem. This is when people in society benefit from something without contributing fairly towards the benefit they are accruing from the thing. 3,000 households out of 4,000 are expected to be free-riders. This means that only 1,000 will cover the cost of the statue.

If those 1,000 households pay the $14 required, the town would only raise,

= 1,000 * 14

=$14,000

$14,000 is less than the cost of the statue which is $17,000 and so the town of Artville will have to do without a statue as they simply cannot afford one.

The reason that the elasticity of demand is 0.62 for business and 0.12 for economy is because the economy class is more elastic than that of the business.

When the flight ticket of those flying business class is raised, they would not be affected much because they are rich and can afford it. They do not care much about the raise in price.

For the average flyer using the economy flight, raising the price of the ticket would affect him and he may end up reducing his demand for it.

Variable costs per unit:

        Direct materials                                                                         $ 165

         Direct labor                                                                                $ 72

         Variable manufacturing overhead                                            $ 8

Fixed Overheads per unit:

       Fixed manufacturing overhead ($535,500/10,500)                  $ 51

Unit product cost                                                                                $296

Part b. Compute the unit product cost under variable costing.

Variable costs per unit:

        Direct materials                                                                         $ 165

         Direct labor                                                                                $ 72

         Variable manufacturing overhead                                            $ 8

Unit product cost                                                                                $245

Explanation:

Part a. Compute the unit product cost under absorption costing.

Absorption costing treats fixed overheads as part of product cost and hence fixed manufacturing overheads are included in unit product cost at their absorption rate

Part b. Compute the unit product cost under variable costing.

Variable Costing System treats fixed overheads as a Period Cost and not part of product cost hence fixed manufacturing overheads are excluded in unit product cost
