Answer:

B) fixed costs and a decrease in variable costs.

Explanation:

Automated robots used in factories are extremely expensive, but once they are functioning, they can replace a lot of workers and they are very cheap to keep working. Factories that once had thousands of employees now only employ a handful of maintenance and programmers that keep the robots running. even though the robots cost millions of dollars, they operating costs are extremely low, which means they are extremely efficient.

The factory's fixed costs increase due to the high cost of the robots, but the monthly variable costs (specially labor) plummet.

The shareholder equity is equal to:

$28/share * 13 700 shares = $ 383,600

This is the total capital of Davidson International. Now, assuming that there is no additional income since it is not implied in the problem, the total equity does not change. However, the shares become: 13,700 + 500 = 14 200 shares.

Scenario 9-1 For a small country called Boxland, the equation of the domestic demand curve for cardboard is Q D = 200 − 2P , whe

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: a. benefits Boxlandian consumers by $672 and harms Boxlandian producers by $598.50.

Explanation:

Equilibrium price will be at level where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied.

200 − 2P = -60 + 3P

200+60 = 5P

5P = 260

P = $52

Equilibrium Quantity Demanded = 200 − 2P = 200 - 2 * 52 = 96 units

In a no-trade situation the demand in Boxland is 96 units at a price of $52. If they were to buy at the world price of $45, they would benefit;

= (96 * 52) - (96 * 45)

= 4,992‬ - 4,320‬

= $672

Producers however would produce the following at a price of $45;

Q S = -60 + 3P

= -60 + 3(45)

= 75 units

They would be supplying less units and be hurt.

Computation of Break-even level of output:

Break-even level of output = Total Fixed cost / Contribution

Break-even level of output = $28,000 / $500
