Answer:

a) the break-even point in unit= 50, 000 units

b.) the break-even point in dollars = $50,000

Explanation:

The break even point in units is the minimum units of the product that the company should sell in order for it to make no profit or loss.  

At this units of sales, the sales revenue would produce a total contribution exactly equal to the fixed cost.

Break -even point in unit = General fixed cost/price  - variable cost

= 14,000 + 6000/(1-0.6)= 50,000  units

Break -even point (sales revenue) =General fixed cost/contribution sales ratio

Contribution sales ratio-= 1-0.6/1× 100= 40%

Break-even sales revenue= 14,000 + 6000/40%=$50,000

a) For Smithson Cutting, the break-even point in unit= 50, 000 units

b) For Smithson Cutting, the break-even point in dollars = $50,000

Profit before decision

Profit = (sales price - variable cost)× units - Fixed cost

= (1-0.5)×30000 - 14,000 = $1000

Profit after = 1- 0.60× 50,000 - 20,000= $0

Deadweight loss is the a. decline in government revenue when taxes are reduced in a market. b. decline in consumer surplus when
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

D, decline in total surplus that results from a tax.

Explanation:

Dead-weight loss is also known as excess burden. It is a situation where in there is a loss of economic sufficiency as a result of tax.

This economic sufficiency is when the supply of goods and services aren't met. That is, there is no market equilibrium between demand and supply. Taxes, subsidies, price rise or fall can be the reason for dead-weight loss as it causes the imbalance of demand and supply of goods or services to the consumers through price manipulations.

To calculate dead-weight loss, change in price as well as change in quantity demanded are important factors to consider.

Cheers.
