The company expects an annual need for 5,000 switches. If the company makes the product, it will have to utilize factory space c
WITCHER [35]

Based on the cost to produce each unit of the switches and the annual demand, the total costs will be $25,900 more than the cost of purchasing the switches.

<h3>What is the cost of producing the switches?</h3>

This can be found as:

= Variable cost + set up costs + supervisor's salary + opportunity cost of lost rent

= ( (6 + 5 + 4) x 5,000 units) + 45,500 + 41,000 + (3,700 x 12 months)

= $205,900

If they bought the switches at $36, they would cost:

= 36 x 5,000

= $180,000

Its cheaper to buy by:

= 205,900 - 180,000

= $25,900

A firm is producing 24 units of output. At the 24th unit of output, marginal revenue is $5, and marginal cost is $4; at the 25th
agasfer [191]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

(1) Units produced = 24 units of output

At the 24th unit of output,

Marginal revenue = $5

Marginal cost = $4

MR ≠ MC

At the 25th unit of output,

Marginal revenue = $4.50

Marginal cost = $4.50

MR = MC

At the 26th unit of output,

Marginal revenue = $4

Marginal cost = $5

MR ≠ MC

A firm maximizes its profit at a point where the marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost i.e. MR = MC.

It is clear from the above scenario that this firm doesn't stop at 24 units of output because at this point of production profit maximizing condition is not fulfilled which means MR ≠ MC.

This firm should stopped at 25 units of output where marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost from the 25th unit of output.
