Assume a company expects to sell 6 million packages of Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty! in the first year after introduction but expects that 70 percent of those sales will come from buyers who would normally purchase existing Pop-Tart flavors (that is, cannibalized sales). The price for a package of Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty! is $1.30 and its variable cost is $0.65, when the price for a package of original Pop-Tart is $1.10 with variable cost of $0.30. Assuming the sales of regular Pop-Tarts are normally 300 million packages per year and that the company will incur an increase in fixed costs of $450,000 during the first year to launch Gone Nutty! will the new product be profitable for the company? Determine the unit contributions and the loss for every package cannibalized from the original product. (Round to the nearest cent.) Unit contribution original Pop-Tarts $ Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty! Loss for every package cannibalized S
Suppose the following table shows the price of a base model for a particular brand of hybrid and the quantity of these hybrids sold for three years. Do these data indicate that the demand curve for these hybrids is upward sloping? Explain. Year 2015 2016 2017 Price $25,190 24,520 24,930 Quantity 36,466 33,250 35,265 A. No, the demand curve is downward sloping. The demand curve appears to be upward sloping because it is more likely that the demand curves shift between years and the data here are collected from three different data points. B. Yes, the demand curve is upward sloping because, from year to year, when the price increases, the quantity also increases. OC. Yes, the demand curve is upward sloping because the price increases each year. O D. No, the demand curve is downward sloping. The demand curve appears to be upward sloping because the data show that the price decreases as the years progress.
You own a company that produces helmets. You are currently selling 100 helmets per week. Your average total cost of producing these helmets is $100. Recall ATC=TC/Q.
