The following are Silver Corporation's unit costs of making and selling an item at a volume of 8,000 units per month (which repr

esents the company's capacity):
Manufacturing:

Direct materials $4
Direct labor $5
Variable overhead $2
Fixed overhead $8

Selling and administrative:
Variable $1
Fixed $6

Present sales amount to 7,000 units per month. An order has been received from a customer in a foreign market for 1,000 units. The order would not affect regular sales. Total fixed costs, both manufacturing and selling and administrative, would not be affected by this order. The variable selling and administrative costs would have to be incurred for this special order as well as all other sales. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. Assume the company has 50 units left over from last year which have small defects and which will have to be sold at a reduced price for scrap. The sale of these defective units will have no effect on the company's other sales. Which of the following costs is relevant in this decision?

a. $19 unit product cost
b. $11 variable manufacturing cost
c. $26 full cost
d. $1 variable selling and administrative cost

$11 variable manufacturing cost: Relevant because it includes all the variable costs which would have to be incurred if the order is accepted

$26 full cost Not relevant because it includes items of fixed manufacturing and fixed selling costs of $14  i.e (8+6) which would incurred either way.

16) When supply is fixed or the product is unique, then price is A) supply determined. B) demand determined. C) government deter
Rudiy27

Answer: B) demand determined.

Explanation:

If the supply of a good is fixed or the product is of a unique kind, the price of the good will be determined by the amount of demand for it.

Normally supply can change based on the quantity demanded which will impact prices but if the supply is definite, this means that the supply curve is inelastic and the only curve that can affect price therefore is the demand curve.

If more people demand the good, it will increase in price and if less people demand it, it will fall in price.

When might adding an additional employee be bad for a small business?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

If the demand for the product or services goes down

Explanation:

A reduction in demand for a good or service results in a decline in its price. As per the law of supply and demand, a decline in demand while holding other factors constant pushing the equilibrium price down. Reduced prices mean that the revenues obtained from the sales of the product or service will decline.

Hiring an extra worker when the demand is low will lead to losses. Low demand causes low prices, which implies that the cost of the new employee will be greater than the benefits obtained from the worker.  A reduction in prices will mean that the marginal product of labor will be lower than the cost of labor.
