Answer:

c. ​$400

Explanation:

The marginal revenue curve can be written as a function of the price as follows:

Q = 6000 - 5P \\MR = 1200 - 0.3Q\\MR = 1200 - 0.3*(6000 - 5P)\\MR = -600+1.5P

The value of P which yields a marginal revenue of zero is the profit-maximizing price, since there would be no added revenue from selling an extra unit at that level of output:

0 = -600+1.5P\\P=\frac{600}{1.5}\\P = \$400

The​ profit-maximizing price is $400.

Vladimir79 [104]

Total contribution margin = $3,000, standard models sold at break even=800, deluxe models sold at break even=400, superior models sold at break even=100

<u>Explanation:</u>

1.Using sales mix stated in the fact from Figure to form a package what is the total contribution margin?

total contribution margin  =($150 multiply 8) plus ($200 multiply 4) plus ($1,000 multiply 1)  = $3,000

2.Refer to Figure, What is the number of standard models sold at break even.

break even units  =Fixed cost divide contribution margin per package

= $300,000 divide $3000  =100 package  standard models sold at break even=100 package multiply 8 = 800

2.Refer to Figure, What is the number of deluxe models sold at break even.

break even units

=Fixed cost divide contribution margin per package  = $300,000 divide $3000

=100 package  deluxe models sold at break even = 100 package multiply 4

larisa [96]

Answer:

2018: $78 million

2019: $468 million

2020: $234 million

Explanation:

Given that State Construction incurred costs as follows:

Year                         Cost

2018                         $60 million

2019                         $360 million

2020                        $180 million

Total cost = $60 million + $360 million + $180 million = $600 million

Percentage to total cost ratio is:

For 2018 = $60 million / $600 million = 0.1,

For 2019 = $360 million / $600 million = 0.6,

For 2020 = $180 million / $600 million = 0.3.

Revenue = Percentage to total cost ratio × Contract price.

Contract price = $780 million

For 2018, Revenue = 0.1 × $780 million = $78 million

For 2019, Revenue = 0.6 × $780 million = $468 million

For 2020, Revenue = 0.3 × $780 million = $234 million

The formula to compute the variable overhead efficiency variance is shown below:

= (Actual direct labor hours - standard direct labor hours) × variable overhead per hour

where,

Actual direct labor hours is 2,380

And, the standard direct labor hours equal to

= 5,200 units × 0.5

= 2,600 hours

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= (2,380 hours - 2,600 hours) × $7

= 1,540 favorable

After eating four slices of pizza, you are offered a fifth slice for free. You turn down the fifth slice.
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": marginal utility is positive for the 4th slice and negative for the 5th slice.

Explanation:

Marginal Utility refers to the additional benefit or satisfaction gained from consuming one more unit of a good or service. In economics, something has utility if it satisfies any consumer wants or needs whether for usefulness or pleasure. It is a subjective term.

If the marginal utility is positive, consumers would want to acquire more of the good or service but if negative they will stop consuming it. Thus, the marginal utility for the 4th pizza slice is positive but the marginal utility for the 5th slice is negative.
