(a)
The equation for Total cost and total revenue.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
P = -0.25D + 250
P = unit sales price
D = annual quantity demanded for the product.
Total Cost (TC) = Fixed Cost+ Variable cost
Total Revenue (TR) − Quantity demanded X Price
Total Profit = Total Revenue − Total Costs
The cost and revenue details of the company are given below:
The variable costs per unit are $20.00 and the fixed costs are $10.875.00
The price-demand relationship is P = -0.25D+250 .......(1)
Here,
P = unit sales price
D = annual quantity demanded for the product.
The following three formulas were also provided to assist you with the problem as wll.
Total Cost (TC) = Fixed Cost+ Variable cost
Total Revenue (TR) − Quantity demanded× Price
Total Profit = Total Revenue − Total Costs
To determine the total cost of the problem, it should be noted that TC is equal to the combination of both fixed costs and variable costs.
Total Costs (TC) - $10,875.00+20.00D
Where, D is the quantity demanded or sold.
Total Revenue can be calculated by the multiplying price with quantity
Total Revenue = Price × Quantity Demanded
=(-0.25D+250)×D
= -0.25D2 + 250D
Total Revenue = -0.25D2 + 250D.
(b)
Breakeven quantity.
Explanation of Solution
Breakeven point for units is that one would need to produce inorder to achieve no profit or loss. In this case, set the formula,
Total Cost = Total Revenue
$10,875+20.00D = -0.25D2 +250D
0.25D2 -250D+20.00D+$10,875.00=0
0.25D2 -230D+$10,875.00=0
The standard formula that assists in getting the correct answer.
Thus, the break even points for this situation are both 50 units and 870 units respectively. It can be said that anything above 870 units and below 50 units could constitute a loss whereas anything between would be profitable to profitable.
(c)
Number of units the company would want to produce if they wanted to maximize the revenues.
Explanation of Solution
Total Revenue = -0.25D2 +250D
Revenue maximization:
Revenue is maximized when MR equals to zero.
Revenue maximization;
Thus to maximize revenue, the company must produce 500 units.
(d)
Total Profit at revenue maximization point of 500 units:
Explanation of Solution
Total Profit = Total Revenue- Total Costs
Thus, the total profit at revenue maximization point of 500 units is $41,625.
The company’s maximum profit is obtained when marginal revenue equals to marginal cost.
Marginal Cost (MC) is calculated as shown below:
Profit maximization is at MR = MC
Thus, maximum profit is obtained at 460 units.
Total Profit = Total Revenue − Total Costs
Maximum possible profit is $42,025.

ENGR.ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
- answerarrow_forwardDiscuss the preferred deterrent method employed by the Zambian government to combat tax evasion, monetary fines. As noted in the reading the potential penalty for corporate tax evasion is a fine of 52.5% of the amount evaded plus interest assessed at 5% annually along with a possibility of jail time. In general, monetary fines as a deterrent are preferred to blacklisting of company directors, revoking business operation licenses, or calling for prison sentences. Do you agree with this preference? Should companies that are guilty of tax evasion face something more severe than a monetary fine? Something less severe? Should the fine and interest amount be set at a different rate? If so at why? Provide support and rationale for your responses.arrow_forwardNot use ai pleasearrow_forward

- "Whether the regulator sells or gives away tradeable emission permits free of charge, the quantities of emissions produced by firms are the same." Assume that there are n identical profit-maximising firms where profit for each firm is given by π(e) with л'(e) > 0; π"(e) < 0 and e denotes emissions. Individual emissions summed over all firms gives E which generates environmental damages D(E). Show that the regulator achieves the optimal level of total pollution through a tradeable emission permit scheme, where the permits are distributed according to the following cases: Case (i) the firm purchases all permits; Case (ii) the firm receives all permits free; and Page 3 of 5 ES30031 Case (iii) the firm purchases a portion of its permits and receives the remainder free of charge.arrow_forwardcompare and/or contrast the two plays we've been reading, Antigone and A Doll's House.arrow_forwardPlease answer step by steparrow_forward
- Suppose there are two firms 1 and 2, whose abatement costs are given by c₁ (e₁) and C2 (е2), where e denotes emissions and subscripts denote the firm. We assume that c{(e) 0 for i = 1,2 and for any level of emission e we have c₁'(e) # c₂' (e). Furthermore, assume the two firms make different contributions towards pollution concentration in a nearby river captured by the transfer coefficients ε₁ and 2 such that for any level of emission e we have C₂'(e) # The regulator does not know the resulting C₁'(e) Τι environmental damages. Using an analytical approach explain carefully how the regulator may limit the concentration of pollution using (i) a Pigouvian tax scheme and (ii) uniform emissions standards.

He also read that a new car’s value declines by 12% as it is driven off the dealer’s lot. Maintenance costs and the costs of “car problems” are only $200 per year during the 2-year warranty period. Then they jump to $750 per year, with an annual increase of $500 per year.Bill’s dad wants to keep his annual cost of car ownership low.
