2 answers:

8 0

The demand curve shows a downward slope when graphed on the axes of quantity (X) and price (Y). This indicates that as price for a good drops, the quantity demanded rises. Conversely, the opposite is true - as price rises, quantity demanded decreases. As such, the answer to this question is C.

The correct option from the given choices is; "c. price, quantity demanded".

The demand curve refers to graphical representation, which is used to show the relationship amongst cost (price of good) and quantity.Normally, the cost will show up on the left vertical axis, and on horizontal axis the demand of quantity is represented. The relationship between them is inverse relation or we can say that both price and quantity are inversely related to each other.

Pottery Crane Inc. has been manufacturing its own finials for its curtain rods. The company is currently operating at 100% of ca

harkovskaia [24]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Direct material = 4 × 33300 = Make $133200 ; Net income increase

Direct labor = 5 × 33300 = Make $166500 ; Net income increase

Variable costing= 0.61 × $166500 = Make $101565 ; Net income increase

Fixed manufacturing = Make 43100 ; Buy 43100 ;

Purchase price = 13.16 × 33300 = Buy $438228 ; Net income decrease

Total annual cost:

Make: $444365

Buy: $481328

Net income decrease = $36963

b. No, Pottery Ranch should not buy the finials. There's an incremental cost of $36963.

c. Incremental revenue = $50,367

Incremental cost = $36963

Incremental revenue = $50367 - $36963 = $13404

In this case, it should be bought.

Assume that a six-firm cartel supplies 500 million units of Whatailsya energy drink at a price of $5.00 per unit. Each firm supp

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The net gain for the firm cheating the cartel is US$ 183 million (rounding the answer to the nearest million).

Explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided for solving this case:

Number of firms that supply Whatailsya energy drink = 6

Amount of production of the cartel of six firms = 500 million units

Price of the energy drink = US$ 5

Amount of production of the firm that decided to break the cartel = 50 million extra units

Price after the extra production is sold = US$ 4.50

2. Let's find the individual production of each firm before and after the 50 million extra units and the net gains for the cheating firm.

Individual production of each firm of the cartel = Amount of production of the cartel/Number of firms

Individual production of each firm of the cartel = 500 million units/6

Individual production of each firm of the cartel = 83.33 million units

Individual sales of each firm before the 50 million extra units = Individual production * Price of the energy drink

Individual sales of each firm before the 50 million extra units = 83.333 million * 5

Individual sales revenue of each firm before the 50 million extra units = US$ 416.666 million

New production amount of the firm cheating the cartel = 83.333 + 50

New production amount of the firm cheating the cartel = 133.333 million units

Price of the energy drink after the extra production is sold = US$ 4.50

New sales revenue of the firm cheating the cartel = New production amount * Price of the energy drink after the extra production is sold

New sales revenue of the firm cheating the cartel = 133.333 million * 4.50

New sales revenue of the firm cheating the cartel = US$ 600 million

Net gain of the firm cheating the cartel = New sales revenue of the firm cheating the cartel - Individual sales of each firm before the 50 million extra units

Net gain of the firm cheating the cartel = 600 million - 416.666 million

Net gain of the firm cheating the cartel = 183.333 million

Net gain of the firm cheating the cartel = US$ 183 million (rounding the answer to the nearest million)

Fixed vs Variable cost preference. Bates operates a kiosk at a local mall, selling duck calls for $30 each. The variable cost to

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Option 2 should be selected

Explanation:

Using a rational approach which option most benefit and have a minimum cost. We will use the break-even level here to decide which option should be selected.

Option 1

Price per call = $30

Variable cost per call = $18

Contribution = Sales - Variable cost = $30 - $18 = $12

Fixed Cost = $15,000

Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution per call = $15,000 / $12 = 1,250 calls

Option 2

Price per call = $30

Variable cost per call = $18 + ( $30 x 10% ) = $18 + $3 = $21

Contribution = Sales - Variable cost = $30 - $21 = $9

Fixed Cost = $9,000

Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution per call = $9,000 / $9 = 1,000 calls

Difference = 1,250 calls - 1,000 calls = 250 calls

Option 2 is better option because it take 250 less calls to reach at break-even in the month. It should be selected.
