Explain why to maximize profits a firm needs to produce an output at a level where marginal revenue

Business
1 answer:
Orlov [11]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Rest of question:

... equals marginal cost.

Firms will maximize profits at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost because producing after this point means that no profits will be made.

As long as the Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, there will be profits made because the company is making more than it is spending so they should keep producing. When it gets to a point in production where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the company should not produce further than that.

This is because, as earlier mentioned, any further production would result in the marginal cost being larger than the marginal revenue which means that a loss will be made. The company should therefore stop at the point where MR = MC so as not to let MC get larger than MR so that no losses will be made.

Of course, these engineering controls will cost $33,000 dollars. This is compared to a continuing hearing conservation program t
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the loan amount is gradually written off by the cost saved , the interest saved is also considered

P= ( 1+ R)^n

F = 9,000

R = 5% , 0.05

Loan amount - $33,000

N=Number of years

Year 1 = 9000( 1+0.05)^-1= 8,571.43

Year 2 =9000(1+0.05)^-2 = 8,163.27=  16.734.70

Year 3= 9000(1+0.05)^-3= 7,774.54 = 24,509.24

Year 4 = 9,000(1+0.05)^-4= 7,404.32= 31,913.56

Year 5 = 9,000 (1+0.05)^-5= 7,051.74= 38,965.3

Payback period is 5 years.

The company has the option of $33,000 for a control that will be repaid over five years period or a continuing hearing conservation program that would have paid ($9,000*5) $45,000 for the five years.

Comparing the two option , The Engineering control is a cheaper option and even with benefits that will outlast the continuing hearing program.

Samples Corporation would like to use target costing for a new product it is considering introducing. At a selling price of $21
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

$18.60

Explanation:

Target cost:

= Sales revenue - Profit

= (No. of units sold × Selling price per unit) - (Investment require × desired return on investment)

= (20,000 × $21) - ($400,000 × 0.12)

= $420,000 - $48,000

= $372,000

Target cost per unit:

= Target cost ÷ Number of units

= $372,000 ÷ 20,000

= $18.60

Therefore, the target cost per unit is closest to $18.60.
