Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 600 light fixtures (units) at $12 per unit. Minor currently produces an

d sells 3,000 units at $13.00 each. This level represents 75% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $15.00 per unit, which includes $10.00 variable cost and $5.00 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $650 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production.

Answer:

To earn $1,150 the order should be 900 units.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $12

Unitary variable cost= $10

Incremental fixed costs= $650

Desired profit= $1,150

<u>Because it is a special order, and there is unused capacity (1,000 units), we will take into account only the incremental fixed costs.</u>

<u>To calculate the number of units to be sold, we can use the break-even point formula with the desired profit:</u>

<u></u>

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (650 + 1,150) / 2

Break-even point in units= 900 units

To earn $1,150 the order should be 900 units.

For a certain firm, the 100th unit of output that the firm produces has a marginal revenue of $11 and a marginal cost of $10. A)
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

The 100th unit of output that the firm produces has a marginal revenue of $11 and a marginal cost of $10.  

The profit to a firm is maximized when the marginal revenue earned and marginal cost incurred are equal.  

When the firm is producing the 100th unit of output the marginal revenue is $1 higher than the marginal cost. This implies that the production of the 100th unit increases the firm's profit by $1.

Answer:

Irrational decision

Explanation:

Irrational decisions refer to those decisions which are not taken after enough deliberation, ignore the rationale, facts and logic, are rather decided out of whim and impulse and usually instantly decided.

In the given case, Joe was not willing to pay more than $500 cash yet eventually ended up paying $600. Even if the $25 gift card is considered, he ended up paying $575 which is more than he had decided to pay.

The choice of the consumer here is not rational or rather irrational since, he without considering other alternatives or exercise of judgement, without evaluating his costs, impulsively opted for the credit card lured by $25 gift card.

As per the economic theory, Joe's decision would be referred to as irrational.
