- A company produces and sells a product.

If the contribution margin per unit is $7 and the break-even point is 10,000 units, how much profit will a firm make if 15,000 units are sold? c.What is the variable cost ratio? The contribution margin ratio? How are the two ratios related?arrow_forwardAnswer for this question please do provide solution as possible. Thank you so much!arrow_forward
- 2. A company provided the following information: Sales Variable costs Fixed costs P500,000 P100,000 P200,000 | Required: A. What is the contribution margin ratio? 500,000 – 100,000 = 400,000 "Contribution Margin" 400,000/500,000 = 0.8 What is the level of sales in amount necessary to generate a profit of P40,000? C. What is the contribution margin ratio if the sales price is increased by 10%? Using the information in part C, what level of sales in amount is necessary to generate a profit of P40,000? D. B.arrow_forwardA firm produces according to the following production function: F(L,K)=L0.7K0.3. The price of capital is $3 and the wage rate is $7. What is the optimal combination of labor and capital in order to produce 100 units of output? Multiple Choice L*=50,K*=50 L*=100,K*=50 L*=100,K*=100 L*=10,K*=10arrow_forwardSuppose a firm with a production function given by Q = 30K0.5L0.5 produces 4,000 units of output. The firm pays a wage of $50 per unit and pays a rental rate of capital of $30 per unit. MPL = 15K0.5/L0.5 and MPK = 15L0.5/K0.5. How many units of labor and capital should the firm employ to minimize the cost of producing 4,000 units of output, and what would be the total cost?arrow_forward
- There are three equally likely states of nature (High, Medium, and Low demand). If the large factory will post profits of $50,000, $25,000, and - $10,000 under these states of nature, respectively, what is the EMV of the factory? a. $28,333.33 b. $50,000 c. $21,666.67 d. $25,000arrow_forwardSuppose a ceiling fan manufacturer has the total cost function C(x) = 35x + 1200 and the total revenue function R(x) = 65x. (a) What is the equation of the profit function P(x) for this commodity? P(x) = (b) What is the profit on 20 units? P(20) = Interpret your result. The total costs are less than the revenue. The total costs are more than the revenue. The total costs are exactly the same as the revenue. (c) How many fans must be sold to avoid losing money? fansarrow_forward6. (MARGINAL ANALYSIS) A perfectly competitive industry currently has 100 firms, all of which have fixed costs of $16 and average variable cost as follows: Quantity 1 Average Variable Cost $1 Total Cost Marginal Cost Average Total Cost 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 6 5 6 a) Compute TC, MC and ATC and fill in columns above. Hint: this is done most easily by calculating TC first, right? b) The price is currently $10. Would this profit-maximizing firm shut down in the short run, or continue to produce? If it continues to produce, how much would this firm produce? c) As the market that this firm belongs to makes the transition to its long-run equilibrium, will the price rise or fall? Will the quantity demanded rise or fall? Will the quantity supplied by each firm rise or fall? Briefly explain why these changes occur in transition to the long run. Try to illustrate this with a graph of the firm and market it belongs to!arrow_forward
