Answer:
B) dividing the change in total cost by the change in output
Explanation:
Marginal cost(MC) is the cost incurred as a result of producing additional units of goods and services. It is calculated by dividing a change in total cost by a change in output.
That is,
Marginal cost(MC)= change in total cost(TC)/ change in output
Total cost(TC): This is the addition of fixed and variable cost in production.
Total cost(TC)= fixed cost (FC)+variable cost (VC)
Fixed cost (FC) are cost that doesn't change during the production process such as buildings, machineries and furniture.
Variable cost (VC) are cost that changes or are used up during production process such as raw materials.

Answer:
Ski Golf Fishing
Guard Guard Guard
selling price $260 $330 $205
variable cost $120 $180 $135
contribution margin $140 $150 $70
machine time 9 min. 12 min. 11 min.
lbs. of pellets 12 7 11
total machine time is the constraint in the production process
1a)
contribution margin per $933.33 $750 $381.82
machine hour
1b)
ski guard since its contribution margin per machine hour is much higher than the rest of the products
1c)
fishing guard since its contribution margin per machine hour is much lower than the rest of the products
2a)
Ski Golf Fishing
Guard Guard Guard
contribution margin per $11.67 $21.43 $6.36
lbs. of pellets
2b)
Golf guard since its contribution margin per lb. of pellets is much higher than the rest of the products
2c)
fishing guard since its contribution margin per lb. of pellets is much lower than the rest of the products
3)
Golf Guard ($150)
Answer:
$1,295.03
Explanation:
To find the answer, we will use the present value of an annuity formula:
PV = A ( 1 - (1 + i)^-n) / i
Where:
- PV = Present Value of the investment (in this case, the value of the loan)
- A = Value of the Annuity (which will be our incognita)
- i = interest rate
- n = number of compounding periods
Now, we convert the 7.9 APR to a monthly rate. The result is a 0.6% monthly rate.
Finally, we plug the amounts into the formula, and solve:
75,500 = A (1 - (1 + 0.006)^-72) / 0.006
75,500 = A (58.3)
75,500 / 58.3 = A
1,295.03 = A
Thus, the monthly payments of the car loan will be $1,295.03 each month.
