The total cost that is incurred by producing 100 doughnuts is equal to the sum of the variable cost and the fixed cost. The total variable cost is,
    total variable cost = ($2/doughnut)(100 doughnuts) = $200

The total cost is,
   Total cost = total variable cost + total fixed cost
     TC = $200 + $500 = $700

Equating the cost and the revenue,
     TC = TR
     $700 = (100)(x)

The value of x from the equation is $7.

ANSWER: $7.

<u>           Costs        Costs         Cost    Cost           FC         VC         TC      </u>

1           100           50               150       150           100         50         150

2          100           70               170         20            50         35          85

6          100         360              460      160           16.67       60        76.67

The firm's profit in this case is <u>-$360</u>.

True or False: This was a wise decision. ⇒ <u>False</u>

Depends on the situation and which costs are avoidable if the company shuts down operations. If it produces 4 cases, the losses reduce from -$100 to -$40, but the contribution margin is positive since revenues exceed variable costs by $60. But under the current price level, the company will not be able to generate profits unless it increases its sales price or decreases its fixed costs.

Vaguely remembering his introductory economics course, the company's chief financial officer tells the CEO it is better to produce 1 case of ball bearings, because marginal revenue equals marginal cost at that quantity.

At this level of production, the firm's profit is <u>-$100</u>.

True or False: This is the best decision the firm can make. ⇒ <u>False</u>

Accounting profit is maximized at 4 cases since marginal cost ($50) = sales price ($50). At this point the total profit is -$40.

If a company must expand capacity to accept a special order, it is likely that there will be an increase in unit variable costs.
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

If a company must expand capacity to accept a special order, it is likely that there will be an increase in fixed costs.

Explanation:

The fixed costs are the part of the total costs of production that remain constant during a given reference quantity in a certain period. These include, for example, depreciation of fixed assets or rental or interest expenses. Since fixed costs are incurred regardless of the application quantity (short-term), they cannot be apportioned to the unit costs according to the cause.

In the present case, given that the company must expand its capacity to take the special order, it means that all of its production factors are totally devoted to production, so that in order to produce a greater quantity of goods, the productive factors must be increased, which are part of the fixed production costs that the company has. Therefore, as the costs of production are altered, there will be an increase in fixed costs.
