Answer:

The optimal bundle is 6 pairs of dress shoes and 3 pairs of Crocs.

Explanation:

From the question,

Allowance (M) = $450; Price of dress shoes, Pd = $50; Price of crocs, Pc = $50

Note: MRS-price ratio, MUC- marginal utility from consuming casual Crocs ,MUD- marginal utility from consuming dress shoes

Optimal bundle is determined where MRS = Price ratio

MRS = MUC/MUD = 20DC/10C2 = 2D/C

Price ratio = Pd/Pc = 50/50 = 1

So, 2D/C = 1

       Therefore, C = 2D

Budget constraint:  M = Pd*D + Pc*C

So, 50D + 50*(2D) = 450

      50D + 100D = 150D = 450

So, D = 450/150 = 3

C = 2D = 2*3 = 6

lozanna [386]

Answer:

The contribution margin will decrease by 2.50

Explanation:

Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin

IF sales decreases, then the contribution margin decreases.

That's because, there is less money to pay for the variable cost.

The company will also have to sale more units to break even, as now each units contribution is fewer.

Cone's should evaluate how much their sales are expected to increase for the lower price and be cautious

Answer: $2,845.57965

The principal to be deposited semiannually would be $2,845.58 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

Explanation:

Using compound formula below

A = p (1 + r/n)^nt

A =amount= $3,300

r = rate = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05

n = number of compounding rate (semiannually) =2 interest payments a year

t = time in years= 3

3,300 = p (1 + 0.05/2)^2(3)

3,300 = p (1 + 0.025)^6

3,300 = p (1.025)^6

3,300 = 1.15969342p

Divide both sided by 1.15969342

p = $(3,300/1.15969342)

p = $2,845.57965

p ≈$2,845.58 rounded to 2 decimal places.

kumpel [21]

Answer:

a. ($35,000)

Explanation:

The computation of the financial advantage or disadvantage of dropping product V860 is shown below:

= Sales - Variable cost - Avoidable fixed manufacturing - Avoidable fixed selling

= $150,000 - $72,000 - $30,000 - $13,000

= $35,000

This $35,000 would be a financial disadvantage and the fixed cost should not be considered as it is not held for decision making purpose
