Question: The demand function for widgets is given by D(P) = 16 − 2P. Compute the change inconsumer surplus when price of a widget increases for $1 to $3. Illustrate your result graphically
Answer:
For price of a widget equal to $1 consumer surplus is
D(1) = 16 - 2(1) = 14
CS₁ = ½ × (8 – 1) × D(1) = ½ × 7 × 14 = 49.
When price is equal to $3 consumer surplus is
D(3) = 16 - 2(3) = 10
CS₃ = ½ × (8 – 3) × D(3) = ½ × 5 × 10 = 25
You want us to write it for you lol?
Answer:
Minimum selling price is $ 37
Explanation:
Computation of minimum selling price
Direct materials per unit $ 15
Direct labour per unit - existing $ 19
Additional for modification <u>$ 3</u>
Direct Labor per unit <u>$ 22</u>
Variable cost per unit $ 37
Since the Company has sufficient idle capacity to produce the additional order, no incremental fixed manufacturing capacity is considered.
The minimum selling price should be one which covers the variable costs ( modified for labor increase)
<span>If a sells to b, and b obtains title while goods are in transit, the goods were shipped FOB SHIPPING POINT.
If c sells to d, and c maintains title until the goods arrive at d's door then the goods were shipped FOB DESTINATION.
FOB stands for Free on Board. The recording of the sale will be dependent on whether it is FOB shipping point or FOB destination. In FOB shipping point, the buyer becomes the owner of the item when it is shipped. In FOB destination, the buyer becomes the owner of the items when it is received. </span>
