Answer:

A. Trying to improve the product's performance

Explanation:

A product at the maturity stage is well known to customers. It has its market share, but sales seem to grow at a sluggish pace. To keep the products' market vibrant, manufacturers tend to make positive variations on the product. Some of the variations include redesigning the package, adding new flavor, or improving its performance.

Improving the product's performance is a good way to maintain sales and increase the growth rate. Existing customers will have a reason to continue buying the product. The improved features attract new customers also.

Process X has fixed costs of $10,000 and variable costs of $2.40 per unit. Process Y has fixed costs of $9,000 and variable cost

Arada [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Process X has fixed costs of $10,000 and variable costs of $2.40 per unit. Process Y has fixed costs of $9,000 and variable costs of $2.25 per unit.

X= 10,000 + 2.4*x

Y=9000 + 2.25y

We will suppose 5 levels of production

1 units, 1000 units , 5550 units, 20,000 units, 110,111 units.

1 unit:

X= $10,002.4

Y= $9,002.25

1000 units:

X= $12,400

Y= $11,250

5550 units:

X= $23,320

Y= $21,487.5

20,000 units:

X= $58,000

Y= $54,000

110,111 units:

X= $274,266.4

Y= $256,749.75

Process Y has a lower fixed cost and a lower variable cost. In all quantities of production, it will present a lower total cost compare to Process X.

You have a small business that makes $50,000 accounting and economic profit for you. As a disabled person, you must work at home

kifflom [539]

Answer: This means: "d. Your economic profit has gone down and your accounting profit has stayed the same."

Explanation: The difference between the accounting and economic benefit is associated with the type of cost that each includes:

The accounting benefit is nothing more than the difference between income and cost. In this case it is still $50000.

The economic benefit includes not only explicit costs. The economic benefit is the difference between income and total costs (explicit and implicit). Therefore, this benefit is less than the accounting benefit. Because in this case the cost of working at home is considered.

tatuchka [14]

Answer: The answer is b -an increase in income will cause the demand curve of an inferior good to shift to the left.

Explanation: An inferior good is a good whose demand reduces as income increases. It's demand has an inverse or negative relationship with income.
