Total overheads                                 $ 500,000

Total hours                                             250,000

Plantwide overhead rate                        $ 2

Cost assigned to :

A ( 2 x 4 x 1000)                                   $ 8,000

B ( 2 x 4 x 3000)                                  $ 24,000

Hours                                                   200,000                       50,000

Overhead rate                                 $ 1.50                           $ 4.00

Overheads for the product A                        $ 8,500

  (1.5 x 3 + 4 x 1) x 1000

Overheads for the product B                        $ 40,500

  (1.5 x 3 + 4 x 1) x 3000

c).                                                          Plant wide          Departmental

material and labor                                  $ 10                        $ 10

Total                                                         $ 18.00                  $ 23.50

Add: profit                                                $ 7.20                    $ 9.40

Selling price                                             $ 25.20                 $ 32.90

The difference               $ 7.70

Therefore, the increase in the selling price = $ 7.70

When looking for capital, bankers and other lenders will usually feel most comfortable investing in a/an
lilavasa [31]
Existing business with a proven record. When you ask for investments, the lending institution will most definitely ask for your financial track record. They would want to know if you are a good paymaster because they will need the assurance that you can pay them back. Even if you have a really original idea and want to start a new business, there will still be some reservation if you have no track record because the lenders do not know if you are trustworthy or not. Unlike if you already have a proven record that you are a good paymaster, then you at least have proof that you can pay back.

Laura is a gourmet chef who runs a small catering business in a competitive industry. Laura specializes in making wedding cakes.
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

b. make fewer than 20 wedding cakes per month.  

Explanation

Laura sells 20 wedding cakes per month.

Her monthly total revenue is $5,000.

Marginal Revenue = $5000 / 20 cakes = $250

The marginal cost of making a wedding cake is $300.

<em>In order to maximize profits, Laura should make fewer than 20 wedding cakes per month.  </em>

<em>The reason is that Laura's marginal cost is higher than her marginal revenue implying that she is spending more on each item than she is gaining. </em>

<em>By reducing one unit of output she will be gaining more revenue.</em>

<em> Profit Maximization Rule Definition  states that if a firm chooses to maximize its profits, it must choose that level of output where Marginal Cost (MC) is equal to Marginal Revenue (MR) and the Marginal Cost curve is rising. i.e. it must produce at a level where MC = MR. </em>

<em>Hence Laura has to make fewer cakes</em>
