Answer:
Total Income=$16,440
Explanation:
Number of working hours allowed=1,200 hour per year
Amount paid =$6 per hour
Welfare amount, if Bruce does not work=$15,000
If Bruce works, deduction on 1$=$0.60 or 60 cents
Bruce worked per year=600 hours
Required:
Income of Bruce=?
Solution:
Income from working=600*6
Income from working=$3,600 per year
Amount received from Welfare=$15,000- (3,600*0.60)
Amount received from Welfare=$12,840
Total Income=Income from working+Amount received from Welfare
Total Income=$3,600+$12,840
Total Income=$16,440
Answer: The marginal benefit curve is downward.
The marginal cost curve is upward
Explanation:
Unlike the marginal cost curve, whose slope is often upwards, the marginal profit curve is generally known by its downward slope.
The optimum allocation of resources to a given product will take place when these curves are used. MB = MC always.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
We first calculate weighted avg total break even point.
The formula or this is,
Total Break even = Total fixed costs / Weighted avg contribution
Weighted avg contribution = (Contribution of A12 * Weight of A12) + (Contribution of B22 * Weight of B22) + (Contribution of C124 * Weight of C124)
Contribution/ Product =
A12 = 61 - 43 = $18
B22 = 108 - 78 = $30
C124 = 413 - 316 = $97
Thus,
Weighted avg Contribution = (18*0.56) + (30*0.27) + (97*0.17) = $34.67
Total Break even = 249624/ 34.67 = 10085 units in total
Simply multiply total break even units with each products weight to calculate qty for each product to b produced.
A12 = 10085*0.56 = 5647.6 units
B22 = 10085*0.27 = 2722.94 units
C124 = 10085*0.17 = 1714.45 units
as per the sales mix.
We can also calculate how many units of each individual product are required for break even as,
A12 = 249624/18 = 13868 units
B22 = 249624/30 = 8320.8 units
C124 = 249624/97 = 2573.44 units
Hope that helps.
Answer: (i), (iii) and (iv)
Explanation:
PPCo is able to provide the entire needs of the county and and has been in operations for a few years gaining loyal customers and controlling the market. Any company that will want to come in will have to fight them for market dominance and as such will have a smaller market share than PPCo.
As PPCo is meet the demands of everyone in the county, they are most likely experiencing Economies of Scale. This means that they are making more revenue thereby driving total cost down as the fixed costs remain the same but Revenue climbs. This classifies them as a Natural Monopoly because Natural Monopolies experience Economies of Scale and declining average total costs.
Answer:
Epic Electronics is considering a strategy to charge a very high introductory price for their automobile video theater. After identifying that their rival firms did not carry this new product, they chose this pricing strategy to achieve maximum profits. Epic Electronics has chosen a<u> skimming </u>strategy.
Explanation:
Price skimming is a pricing strategy in which a marketer fixes a relatively high initial price for a product or service at first, then lowers the price over time. It is a temporal version of price discrimination/yield management.
