Answer:
The firm will not sell any bundle, the amount of bundle to be sold will be zero.
Explanation
Solution
Since firm sells at $25 each for coats and pants, then If consumer wants to purchase both Pant and Coat, the customer will have to pay 25 + 25 = $50.
Also, If consumer purchase Pant and Coat as a Bundle then, he will pay 150. From the question stated we can conclude that their is a form of interest to pay for Pant and Coat for Both consumers are higher than 25.
However, they will have to pay an amount less for 1 coat and 1 pant if they buy this in a separate way instead of a Bundle.
We can say, that type of consumers (both) will not buy the pants and coat as a bundle, but will want to buy them separately.
Therefore, any bundle will not be sold by firm. the amount of Bundle sold will be known as a zero Bundle
Answer:
Dividend in arrears $ 1,000,000
Total Dividend $ 2,000,000
Explanation:
The dividend at 5% of $100 par value is $5 per unit of shares. Recall, each unit of the preference shares has a par value of $100
Dividend calculation = $5 multiplied by the total unit of shares
previous year shares dividend is 5 x 200, 000 unit of shares = $ 1,000,000
This year total dividend payout will be current year of $1,000,000 plus previous year of $1,000,000 = $2,000,000
Answer:
a. Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. Whataburger should hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost
Explanation:
a. According to the given data we have the following:
Let "C" is a cashier.
"K" is a kiosk
MPC = 48 (Marginal Product of Cashier)
MPK = 32 (Marginal Product of Kiosk)
PC = $15 (cashier can be hired for a wage of $15)
PK = $12 (Kiosk rents for $12)
At optimal cost minimization point, (MPC / MPK) = (PC / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (MPK / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (48 / 15) = 3.2
(MPK / PK) = (32 / 12) = 2.67
Since the (MPC / PC) and (MPK / PK) is not equal. It implies Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. We have to use the following:
(MPC / PC) > (MPK / PK)
i.e., 3.2 > 2.67
It means Whataburger hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost.
