Answer:

A price ceiling is a bar on the legal maximum price a commodity can be sold for  while a price floor is the least legal price a commodity can go for.

The price ceiling is always greater than the price floor  in this case it is not so, hence the price floor is not binding to the price ceiling.

the statements below is analyzed under price ceiling and price floor according to whether it is binding or nonbinding.

Explanation:

1. Due to new regulations, donut shops that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from doing so.

Statement one is neither a price ceiling nor a price floor and it is nonbinding

Statement two is a price floor and it is binding.

3. The government prohibits donut shops from selling donuts for more than $1.10 each.

Statement three is a price ceiling and it is binding.

  • net loss -$65,000

b. What would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of dropping product D14E? Should the product be dropped?

  • financial disadvantage of discontinuing the produce is -$68,000, so the company should not discontinue the product since its losses would increase

Explanation:

total sales $670,000

- variable expenses $295,000

- fixed manufacturing expenses $246,000

- fixed selling and administrative expenses $194,000

net loss = $65,000

if product D14E is discontinued, $196,000 + $111,000 = $307,000, of fixed expenses can be avoided, but $133,000 are not avoidable. if the company discontinues the product, its losses will increase by $133,000 - $65,000 = $68,000
