Answer:

$6.00

Explanation:

Given data

quantity demanded ( x )  ∝ 1 / p^3       for p > 1

when p = $10/unit , x = 64

initial cost = $140, cost per unit = $4

<u>Determine the price that will yield a maximum profit </u>

x = k/p^3 ----- ( 1 ).  when x = 64 , p = $10 , k = constant

64 = k/10^3

k = 64 * ( 10^3 )

  = 64000

back to equation 1

x = 64000 / p^3

∴ p = 40 / ∛x

next calculate the value of revenue generated

Revenue(Rx) = P(price ) * x ( quantity )

               = 40 / ∛x * x   =  40 x^2/3

next calculate Total cost of product

C(x) = 140 + 4x

Maximum Profit  generated = R(x) - C(x) = 0

                                              = 40x^2/3 - 140 + 4x  = 0

                                              =  40(2/3) x^(2/3 -1) - 0 - 4 = 0

                                            ∴ ∛x = 20/3    ∴     x = (20/3 ) ^3 = 296

profit is maximum at x(quantity demanded ) = 296 units

hence the price that will yield a maximum profit

P = 40 / ∛x

  = ( 40 / (20/3) )  = $6

Answer:

Foreign exchange loss

Explanation:

A foreign exchange gain/loss is normal for companies that operate in foreign countries. E.g. you prepared your financial statements by converting the foreign currency into your local currency, in this case you converted Canadian dollars to US dollars. But then the exchange rate between the currencies changes. If the value of the Canadian dollar's value increased after conversion, then you gained, and an adjustment must be made to show that gain. But if the Canadian dollar's value decreased after the conversion, then you lost (what happened here) and an adjusting entry must be made to report the loss.

In order to correct his, you must:

kondaur [170]

Answer:

As a result of the political unrest in Libya, the supply of oil would fall, As a result the supply curve would shift to the left. This would lead to fall in equilibrium quantity and a rise in price.

The increased demand for oil would shift the demand curve to the right. The equilibrium price and quantity would increase

Taking these two effects together, equilibrium price would rise and there would be an indeterminate effect on equilibrium quantity

Please check the attached image for a graph showing these shifts

b. As a result of the change in supply, supply would increase. This would increase equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price would fall. in addition with the increase in demand for oil, equilibrium quantity would rise and there would be an indeterminate effect on equilibrium quantity
