Answer:
If the number of male and female buyers is the same, then the best pricing strategy is to offer 2 different microwaves (option 3). One simple and cheap microwave for men and one with auto-defrost for women.
Explanation:
If most buyers were women (significantly higher), then option 2 would be better, since $121 per microwave is a much higher price and even though total sales numbers may not be maximized, profits will probably be maximized.
If most buyers are men, then option 1 would be probably better, depending on the proportion of male vs female buyers.

Explanation:
From what I understood in the problem, the total budget that covers all types of media is only $1,000 per month. For the allocation, each type of media would get at least 25% of the budget. If we infer on this information, there should only be 4 types of media, at least. This is because four 25% portions would equal to 100%. If it exceeds 25% for each of the four types, it would be over the $1000 budget. With that being said, it is also possible that there will be 3 or 2 types of media. Nevertheless, let's just stick to the least assumption of 25% for each of the 4 types.
If local newspaper advertising is one of the four types, then:
$1000(25%) = $250
It would get $250 from the overall budget.

Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
In a perfect monopoly, there is only one firm operating in the industry
In a monopolistic competition, differentiated products are sold
In an oligopoly, there are few large firms
Answer:
$8 per direct labor hours and $2 per direct labor hours
Explanation:
The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead ÷ planned activity level
= $480,000 ÷ 60,000 direct labor hours
= $8 per direct labor hours
And, the budgeted variable manufacturing overhead is $2 per direct labor hours
We simply divide the budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead by the planned activity level
