Answer:

negative externality

Explanation:

A product can be defined as any physical object or material that typically satisfy and meets the demands, needs or wants of customers. Some examples of a product are mobile phones, television, microphone, microwave oven, bread, pencil, freezer, beverages, soft drinks etc.

In Economics, a positive externality arises when the production or consumption of a finished product or service has a significant impact or benefits to a third party that isn't directly involved in the transaction.

On the other hand, a negative externality arises when the production or consumption of a finished product or service has a negative effect and/or impact (cost) on a third party.

This ultimately implies that, a negative externality is generated when a third party receives or bears an unwarranted cost. Some examples of a negative externality is John declining to buy his favorite candy due to an increase in its price, a manufacturing plant that causes noise and pollution to the people living around where it is situated, etc.

<u>Determine when the taste quality will be 1/2 of original value</u>

i.e. when Q(t) = 1/2

1/2 = 0.85^t

= In ( 2 ) = - t ( In 0.85 )

∴ t = - In (2) / In (0.85)

= 4.265 days ≈ 4.27 days

An electronics company has developed a new hand-held device. The company predicts that the start-up cost to manufacture the new

Leni [432]

Answer:

A) to calculate the break even point we can use the following:

break even point = fixed costs / contribution margin

break even point = 125,000 / (9 - 6.5) = 125,000 / 2.5 = 50,000 units

The company must sell over 50,000 units to make a profit

B) if the unit production costs increase 10%, the new unit cost will be $7.15, and the new break even point will be: 125,000 / (9 - 7.15) = 125,000 / 1.85 = 67,567.6 which we round up to 67,568 units.

Now the company must sell at least 67,568 units to make a profit

C) If the company wants to increase its product price to a level where the break even point is 50,000 units, then the new price should be $9.65.

The contribution margin must be $2.5, so if the production costs are $7.15, we just add $2.5 to get $9.65 per unit.
