Question

In 1910, the price of a Model T Ford was $950. By 1917, the average price for the same car was $360. In 1910, fewer than 19,000 Model T's were sold. In 1917, over 730,000 were sold. What conclusion can you draw from this information?: (A)The cost of living must have gone down between 1910 and 1917. (B)Henry Ford was making less money in 1917 than he was in 1910 (C)It cost the Ford Motor Company less to produce a Model T in 1917 than it did in 1910. (D)There is no relationship between the price of the Model T's and the number sold.

Answer 1

The conclusion that can be reached is that (C)It cost the Ford Motor Company less to produce a Model T in 1917 than it did in 1910.

The price of a good or service is usually directly proportional to its cost. This means that if something was costly to produce or to provide, the price that the company providing will charge will be high as well.

The reason for this is that the company needs to make a profit so they charge a higher price than the cost in order to make back the cost and some profit. This is called cost plus pricing.

In 1910, the Model T Ford cost $950 but in 1917 the same car cost $360. This means that the cost must have been less in 1917 than it was in 1910 which was why the Ford company was able to charge less for it.

The correct answer is therefore C.
