Answer:

No, because the second method has lower total costs of production.

Explanation:

In a bid to make profits businesses must always compare different processes and choose the cheapest one.

This will eventually reflect in the profitability of the business.

In this instance let's get the cost of each process.

Fabric costs $110 a bolt and labor costs $20 an hour.

The first dress maker can sew 400 garments with 100 bolts of fabric and 1,500 hours of labour

Total cost = (100 bolts * 110) + (1500 * 20)

Total cost = $41,000

For the second dress maker he can sew 400 garments with 150 bolts of fabric and 1,000 hours of identical labour

Total cost = (150 *110) + (1000 * 20)

Total cost = $36,500

As can be seen the second dressmaker has a lower cost of production so he is more efficient than the first dress maker

gladu [14]

Answer:

400

Explanation:

Qd = 45 - 2P

Qd    = -15 + P

45 - 2P = P - 15

60 = 3P

60/3 = P = 20

Q = 45 - 2*20 = 5

Q = -15+20 = 5

The quantity will be 5 and price 20

<u>Now we will caclulate the consumer surplus:</u>

Which the area of the demand curve above the equilibrium.

We calculate he area of a triangle:

base x high / 2

\frac{(45-5)\times20}{2}

consumer surplus = 400

The Warren Watch Company sells watches for $21, fixed costs are $180,000, and variable costs are $15 per watch.
enyata [817]

Answer:

  • 5,000 watches : $150,000  loss
  • 20,000 watches:  $60,000  (Loss)
  • Break-even point = 30,000  units
  • if the selling price rises to 32  = break even points descends to 10,588 units
  • If the selling price rises to $32 but variable costs rises to $26  , the break even point goes back to 30,000units.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Profit = Revenue -cost

Where the revenue is equal to the units sold (x) multiplied by the selling price,

R = 21 x  

And cost is equal to the sum of the fixed and variable costs.

C = 15x + 1800

So:

P = 21x-(15x +180,000)

P = x ( 21-15)- 180,000

  • For 5,000 watches:

P = 5000(21-15)-180,000

P = 5000(6) -180,000

P= 30,000-180,000

P=-$150,000  (loss , since is negative )

  • For 20,000 watches:

P = 20,000(6) -180,000

P = 120,000-180,000

P=-$60,000  (Loss)

  • To find the break even point:

R = C

21x = 15x + 180,000

21x-15x =180,000

6 x = 180,000

x = 180,000/6

x =30,000  units

  • if the selling price rises to 32

32x = 15x + 180,000

32x-15x = 180,000

17x =180,000

x = 180,000/17

x = 10,588 units

It descends,

  • If the selling price rises to $32 but variable costs rises to $26  

32x = 26x+180,000

32x-26x = 180,000

6x = 180,000

x = 180,000/6

x =30,000

The break-even point comes back to 30,000 units.
