Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1.  

Selling Price = Sales ÷  Units Sold

Current Selling Price = $385,000 ÷  5500

= $70

Now

Expected Selling Price per unit = $70 + ($70× 10%)

= $77

Now

Expected Sales = 5500 × $77

= $423,500

Now

Net Income = Sales - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost

= $423,500 - $250,000 - $94,000  

2.  

Sales = $385000

Variable cost = $385,000 × 56% = $215,600

Sales                     $385,000

Less: variable cost -$215,600

Contribution Margin $169,400

Les: fixed cost          -$94,000

Net Income               $75,400

As we can see that if there is an increase in Selling Price by 10% so it would produce highest Net Income.

Complete question:

You have just been hired by SecuriDoor Corporation, the manufacturer of a revolutionary new garage door opening device. The president has asked that you review the company’s costing system and “do what you can to help us get better control of our manufacturing overhead costs.” You find that the company has never used a flexible budget, and you suggest that preparing such a budget would be an excellent first step in overhead planning and control.

      After much effort and analysis, you determined the following cost formulas and gathered the following actual cost data for April:

 Supplies      $.40 per machine-hour          $ 7,000    

 Indirect labor  $94,700 plus $1.80 per machine-hour   $ 128,000    

 Depreciation   $68,400    $ 70,100

Katie Kwasi’s utility function is U(x1, x2) = 2(ln x1) + x2. Given her current income and the current relative prices, she consu
aniked [119]

Answer:

Katie Kwasi's Utility Function

The units of x1 that she will consume after the change in income is:

= 40 units of x1

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Katie Kwasi’s utility function, U(x1, x2) = 2(ln x1) + x2

Current consumption = 10 units of x1 and 15 units of x2

When her income doubles, with prices staying constant, Katie will consume:

= 2(2 * 10 of x1) + 15 of x2

= 40 units of x1 + 15 units of x2

Therefore, she will consume 40 units of x1 and 15 units of x2

b) The above function expresses mathematically Katie's utility to be a function of the units of x1 and x2 that she can consume, given her income constraint.  If her income doubles, Katie will consume double units of x1 and the same units of x2 as she was consuming before the change in income.
