Answer: b. increasing returns to scale.

Explanation:

With the high capital costs having enabled decreasing average costs for any conceivable level of demand, the company would be making an increasing returns to scale which means that it would be making more return per capital spent.

Five hundred units of good x are currently bought and sold. The marginal buyer is willing to pay $40 for the 500th unit, and the
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

D : All options are correct

Explanation:

- The marginal buyer is the essence of demand curve while marginal seller is essence of supply curve.

- @ Q = 500 units,    Selling Price is set at SP = $35

- @ Q = 500 units,    Buying Price is set at BP = $40

- Since, SP ≠ BP our equilibrium price would be $ 37.5 assuming the price elasticity of demand and supply are equal. In any case the equilibrium price would lie in between [ 35 , 40 ] such that to prevent a shortage of units in near future.

- Moreover, if the seller decides to sell at price $35 then he must sell goods greater than 500 units to reach the equilibrium profits. However, it could also lead to excess of units or surplus.

- We see that from selling the goods at SP = $35 while the buyer is willing to pay BP = $40 for 500 goods, the seller would be under-profiting and would be earning $5*500 = $2,500 less than he would at equilibrium price of $40 and selling units greater than 500. Hence, 500 goods is not an efficient quantity of goods.

Break-Even Sales and Sales to Realize Income from Operations
strojnjashka [21]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a.

Contribution per unit

= Selling price per unit - Variable costs per unit

= $300 - $200

= $100 per unit

Now  

Break even point (units)

= Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= $14,000,000 ÷ $100

= 140,000 units

And,

b)

Sales units required for a target profit of $1,400,000

So,

= (Fixed costs + Target profits) ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= ($14,000,000 + $1,400,000) ÷ $100

= 154,000 units

laila [671]

eBay has an algorithm where they take 9% of what you make until that gets up to $50 which in this case doesnt' really matter. They would take 9% of every order so if you sold your item for $10 you would actually get like $9.10 or something similar.
