Answer: consumers find it unfair for firms to increase prices after an increase in demand".

Explanation: Economists established 2 explanations of why companies do not increase their prices even if they can make higher profits.

First it was discovered that some products have the characteristic that the amount of product that a customer wants to buy can depend on the amount of the product that other people are consuming.

And then it was discovered that most people are satisfied that companies raise prices because of an increase in costs, but consider it unfair to raise prices as a result of increased demand.

The unit product cost of product D28K is:

$144.01

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Cost Expected Activity

Assembly $228,060 18,000 machine hours

Processing orders $34,068 1,200 orders

Inspection $125,560 1,720 inspection hours

Units of D28K produced per year = 420 units

D28K requirements:

Machine hours 460

Orders 80

Inspections 10

Direct materials cost per unit = $48.96

Direct labor cost per unit = $25.36

Activity rate:

Assembly $228,060/18,000 = $12.67 per machine hour

Processing orders $34,068/1,200 = $28.39 per order

Inspection $125,560/1,720 = $73 per inspection-hour

Cost of D28K:

Machine hours 460 * $12.67 = $5,828

Orders 80 * $28.39 = $22,712

Inspections 10 * $73 = $730

Total overhead costs = $29,270

Overhead cost per unit = $69.69 ($29,270/420)

Unit Cost of D28K:

Direct materials cost per unit = $48.96

Direct labor cost per unit = $25.36

Overhead cost per unit = $69,69

Total unit cost = $144.01

hjlf

Answer: positive cross elasticity of demand.

Explanation: In simple words, cross elasticity refers to the degree of change in the demand of a good with respect to change in the price of another goods.

In case of substitute goods, one good can easily be used in the place of another good. Thus, if the price of one good increases the demand for its substitute good also increases.

Hence from the above we can conclude that substitute goods have positive cross elasticity.

mina [271]

Answer:

$415

Explanation:

For computing the sales per unit first we have to determine the total sales value which is shown below:

Direct Production costs (1,000 units × $125) $125,000

Fixed Overhead costs for the year = $20,000 × 12 months = $240,000

Total Costs for the year $365,000

Gross Profit desired (1,000 units × $50) $50,000

Total Sales Value desired = Costs + Profit $415,000

Now

Sales price per unit is

= $415,000 ÷ 1,000 units

= $415

This is the answer but the same is not provided
