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.

Micro Enterprises has the capacity to produce 10,000 widgets a month, and currently makes and sells 9,000 widgets a month. Widge
balu736 [363]

Answer:

The order for 1,500 at $4 should be rejected. It will imply omre work for no extra income.

Explanation:

First, we need to check for the cost structure of Micro Enterprises

9,000 x $5 average cost = 45,000 total cost

total cost = fixed cost + variable cost

45,000 = 18,000 + 9,000 x variable cost per unit

(45,000  - 18,000) / 9,000 = variable per unit

variable per unit = 3

Now we calculate the the special order

<em>sales revenue for the proposed deal:</em>  1,500 x 4 = 6,000

<em>variable cost for the widget:</em>                 1,500 x 3 = (4,500)

<u>opportunity cost:</u>

we resing the contribution for 500 units in the local marke

this units selling price is $6 and their cost is the same $3

                   500 x (6  -  3 )  =                                     (1,500)

                             net differencial analysis                      0

It should be rejected. as it would not modify the net income

<u></u>

<u>We could prove this by building the incomefor each scenario</u>

<u></u>

<u>if not accepted:</u>

9000 x ( 6 - 3 ) -18,000= 9,000

<u>if accepted:</u>

8500 x (6-3) + 1,500 x (4-3) - 18,000 = 9,000

When the price of chocolate-covered peanuts increases from $1.55 to $2.00, the quantity demanded decreases from 220 to 160. In t
vredina [299]

Answer:

The answer is <em>elastic; decrease</em>

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand (PED) = %change in QD/ %change in price

PED = (2-1.55/1.55 ) * 100 / (160-220/220) *100 = 1.065

PED is elastic

Total revenue before price change = 1.55*220= $341.00

Total revenue after price change = 2* 160 = $320.00

Total revenue decreased by $21.00
