Answer:

A. 15 units

B. $130

Explanation:

In order to solve this, we need to use the profit maximization condition for monopoly.

MR = MC will give us the optimal quantity and price for the monopolist.

The consumer's demand for the product is:

Qd = 80 - 0.5P

Therefore, we have:

P = (80 / 0.5) - (Qd / 0.5)

P = 160 - 2Qd

Recall that, Total Revenue:

TR = P * Q

So, in this case TR = 160Q - 2Q^2

MR = d(TR) / dQ = 160 - 4Q

Now, MR = MC

160 - 4Q = 100

4Q = 160 - 100

4Q = 60

Q = 60 / 4

Q = 15 units.

Now, P =160 - 2Q

P = 160 - 2(15)

P = 160 - 30 = 130

The optimal number of units to be placed in a package will therefore be 15 units while the firm should charge $130 for this package.

White raven [17]
<h2>Answer : Option A) 1 foot/second</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>

If we consider that the plates are placed 2 ft apart and there has to be 1800 meals that needs to be delivered in an hour.

so if we multiply 2 ft and 1800 meals that is delivered in 1 hour,we get 2 X 1800 = 3600 meals in an hour.

If we try to accommodate the plates at each ft then there will be 3600 meals delivered in 1 hour.

we know that 1 hour has 3600 seconds in it.

So, here the distance is 1 ft, and speed has to be determined time is 1 hour = 3600 seconds

3600 meals / 3600  seconds = 1 foot per second.

OR 1800 meals set at 2 ft apart in 3600 seconds will give the speed of the belt as 1 foot per second.

(1 ft = speed X 1 hour)

<h2>so, the speed also will be 1 foot per second. </h2>

Anthony Roofing's budgeted manufacturing costs for 50,000 squares of shingles are: Fixed manufacturing costs $30,000 Variable ma
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Total budgeted manufacturing cost = $824,000

Explanation:

The total budgeted manufacturing cost is the sum of the variable  and fixed manufacturing cost

The fixed manufacturing cost of $30,000 would be absorbed (i.e charged to the units produced using overhead absorption rate (OAR).

OAR = Budgeted fixed manufacturing cost / Budgeted production squares

      = $30,000 /  50,000 squares = $0.6 per square

Absorbed fixed manufacturing cost= OAR × actual production of squares

Absorbed fixed manufacturing cost=  $0.6 × 40,000 = $24,000

Variable manufacturing cost = $20.00 × 40,000 =800,000

Total budgeted manufacturing cost = $24,000  + $800,000  = $824,000

Total budgeted manufacturing cost = $824,000
