Henleigh Hill, CFO of HH Corp., uses a decentralized company processing center for check collection. She estimates that the total annual cost of collections is currently $300,000. Henleigh is considering switching to a centralized company processing center, but she is worried about the required increase in fixed costs. Use the following assumptions to determine the maximum fixed cost of the centralized company processing center that would make Henleigh indifferent between a decentralized or centralized company processing center. Number of checks processed per year = 450,000 Average face value of checks = $1,000 Collection float for centralized processing = five days Variable processing cost per check for centralized processing = $0.25 Opportunity cost rate = 5 percent
Oscar has owned a Ford automobile dealership for over 25 years. Since he has been heavily involved in the sales of cars, Oscar believes that there are 3 different types of customers with the following willingness to pays: Sunroof Navigation System Customer A $3,000 $1,200 Customer B $1,800 $600 Customer C $150 $1,800 Although not realistic, assume that incremental costs are $0. As the owner of the dealerships, Oscar has the final say on pricing for each customer. Suppose that Oscar knows the willingness to pay of Customer A, B and C as soon as he meets them. What price should Oscar charge to each customer to maximize profits? What is the total amount of profits for the 3 customers and what is the total amount of consumer surplus for the 3 customers? Show your calculations.

The publishing company is publishing a book for business economics for which it has estimated the following total fixed and average variable cost: Total fixed cost $ 100,000 Average Variable Cost $ 20 Selling Price $ 30 Determine the breakeven output and total sales revenues. Determine the output that would generate a total profit of $ 60000 and total sales revenue at that output level. If total fixed cost reduced to $ 40,000 then what is the breakeven point. How much units they have to sale if they require to have a profit of $ 60,000. Find out the publisher breakeven point if fixed cost remain same at $ 100,000 but the variable cost reduced to $10. Also find out the breakeven point if profit of $60,000 has to be earned. Find out the breakeven and sales at required profit of $60,000 if all cost remain same but the price per unit increased to $40.
XYZ, inc. makes and sells bicycle parts. Last year XYZ sold 5,400 handlebars, generating sales of $110,000. This year they are considering a new pricing strategy with a target profit goal of $15,000. They determined that for every $2 increase to the selling price, a 300 decrease in unit sales was expected. Their total costs were $110,000 with fixed costs accounting for $60,000. This year, XYZ, inc. is considering changing the selling price to $27. Assuming that the demand function is linear, what is the slope of demand? CALCULATED VARIABLES:cm = $11.11vc = $9.26asp = $20.37
Bavarian Crystal works designs and produces lead crystal wine decanters for export to international markets. The production manager of Bavarian crystal works estimates total and marginal production cost to be: TC= 10,000+40 Q + 0.0025Q^2 And MC equals 40+0.005Q where cost are measured in US dollars in cuteness and number of wine decanters produced annually. Because Bavarian crystal works is the only one of many Christian producers in the world market, it can sell as many of the decanters it wishes for $70 apiece. Total and marginal revenue are: TR=70 Q and MR = 70 what is the optimal level are production of wine decanters? What is a marginal revenue from the last wine decanters sold? What part of total revenue, total costs, and net benefit (profit) from selling the optimal number of wine decanters? At the optimal level of production of decanters, extra decanted can be so for $70, thereby increasing total revenue by $70. Why does the manager of the firm not produce and sell one more…
Suppose an automobile manufacturer has fixed costs equal to $300 million, and variable costs per unit(aka marginal costs) equal to $45,000 per vehicle. Calculate the breakeven quantities at a price of$65,000/vehicle and at a price $50,000/vehicle.
Ahlia Co manufactures mobile phones. It has been extremely successful in the past, but the market has become extremely competitive. The company is considering a number of different strategies to improve its profitability. The most successful product is the Y99 which is sold for $110. Weekly demand is currently 20,000 phones, Market research has revealed that if Ahlia Co reduced the price of the Y99 by $10, demand would increase by 2,000 phones. The product has a constant variable cost per unit of $60. Instructions: 1.Determine the demand function. 2. Determine the output level to maximize profit. 3. Determine the price to be charged to maximize profit.

Thranduil company’s market research department is working on the pricing of a product. The field research shows that average demand is expected to be 8000 units at price 50 TL. From this point, each 1 TL change in price will negatively affect demand with a magnitude of 100 units. Fixed and variable costs are confronted for producing the product. According to the information obtained from the financial department, 200,000 TL is the estimate of fixed costs and 20 TL is the estimate of variable costs per unit produced. Assume that all units produced are sold.Which of the following prices is the one that maximizes the company's profit?
