Answer:
23.68%
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of not taking a cash discount is shown below:-
Cost of not taking a cash discount = [Discount percentage ÷ (100% - Disc.%)] × (360 ÷ (Final due date - Discount period))
= (2% ÷ 98%) × (360 ÷ (50 - 19))
= 2.04% × 11.61
= 23.68%
Therefore for computing the cost of not taking a cash discount we simply applied the above formula.
Answer:
I took some work home because I had to meet an important deadline the next morning. If I am able to finish the work on time and do it correctly, then there is a chance of getting either a promotion or a pay raise. If I cannot complete it on time, I will not get fired, but any chances of a promotion or pay raise in the near will vanish.
Since I was working at home, I couldn't prepare anything for dinner, so I decided to buy food on a website and get it delivered home. I spent $20 on my dinner, even though I could have prepared a similar dinner for $5.
I was willing to pay for the expensive meal because the opportunity cost of preparing dinner instead was too high. I can afford to pay $15 more for eating, but I cannot afford to lose the opportunity of a promotion or a pay raise. Even if I do not get them immediately, not completing my job would have made it much harder to get it in the future.
My decision is rational because I was sacrificing a small amount of money in order to preserve something that is really valuable for me (promotion or pay raise).
All resources are scarce, and in this case, time was scarce. So I had to decide which action was more valuable and which action could yield a higher benefit.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given the following data about Dayna's Doorstep Inc(DD) :
Cost given by; C = 100 - 5Q + Q^2
Demand ; P = 55 - 2Q
A.) Set price to maximize output;
Marginal revenue (MR) = marginal cost (MC)
MR = taking first derivative of total revenue with respect to Q; (55 - 2Q^2)
MC = taking first derivative of total cost with respect to Q; (-5Q + Q^2)
MR = 55 - 4Q ; MC = 2Q - 5
55 - 4Q = 2Q - 5
60 = 6Q ; Q = 10
From
P = 55 - 2Q ;
P = 55 - 2(10) = $35
Output
35(10) - [100-5(10)+10^2]
350 - 150 = $200
Consumer surplus:
0.5Q(55-35)
0.5(10)(20) = $100
B.) Here,
Marginal cost = Price
2Q - 5 = 55 - 2Q
4Q = 60 ; Q = 15
P= 55 - 2(15) = $25
Totally revenue - total cost:
(25)(15) - [100-(5)(15)+15^2] = $125
Consumer surplus(CS) :
0.5Q(55-25) = 0.5(15)(30) = $225
C.) Dead Weight loss between Q=10 and Q=15, which is the area below the demand curve and above the marginal cost curve
=0.5×(35-15) ×(15-10)
=0.5×20×5 = $50
D.) If P=$27
27 = 55 - 2Q
2Q = 55 - 27
Q = 14
CS = 0.5×14×(55 - 27) = $196
DWL = 0.5(1)(4) = $2
