- Suppose that a paper mill "feeds" a downstream box mill. For the downstream mill, the marginal profitability of producing boxes declines with volume. For example, the first unit of boxes increases earnings by $10, the second by $9, the third by $8, and so on, until the tenth unit increases profit by just $1. The cost the upstream mill incurs for producing enough paper (one "unit" of paper) to make one unit of boxes is $3.50. Assume the two mills operate as separate profit centers, and the paper mill sets the price of paper. It follows that the marginal profitability of boxes represents the highest price that the box division would be willing to pay the paper division for boxes.. Furthermore, assume that fixed costs are $0 for the paper mill. The following table summarizes the quantity, total revenue, and marginal costs from the perspective of the paper mill for selling paper to the box mill at various prices. In the following table, fill in the marginal revenue, total cost, and total…arrow_forwardProvide correct answer general accountingarrow_forwardGeneral accountingarrow_forward

This increases fuel consumption and increases the time that passengers must sit in a cramped plane awaiting takeoff. The following table shows the pay schedule for the flight crew. Pay Per diem Holding pay per hour Flight Attendant Captain First Officer $3 $3 $3 $20 $20 $20 Hourly wage (after push back) $38 $184 $50 Per diem pay indicates how much the flight crew earns once it checks into the airport.
