O C. fixed cost per unit decreases as production decreases. O D. variable cost per unit increases as production decreases.arrow_forwardAs volume increases, which of the following statements is NOT correct? Variable cost per unit will remain the same. Total variable costs will increase. Total fixed cost will remain the same. Average cost per unit will increase.

The total of all production costs for the year is therefore assumed to be equal to the cost of goods sold. With this in mind, the various department heads were asked to submit estimates of the costs for their departments during the year. A summary report of these estimates is as follows: Estimated Estimated Variable Cost Fixed Cost (per unit sold) Production costs: Direct materials $15 Direct labor 10 Factory overhead $451,600 Selling expenses: Sales salaries and commissions 93,800 Advertising 31,800 Travel 7,100 Miscellaneous selling expense 7,800 Administrative expenses: Office and officers' salaries 91,700 Supplies 11,300 Miscellaneous administrative expense 10,500 Total $705,600 $42 It is expected that 10,800 units will be sold at a price of $140 a unit.

- using the price p=20 - .05x, use the Revenue function to find the marginal Revenue function R'(x), Find a. R'(100)= b. R'(175)= c. R'(250)= The marginal Revenue R'(x) approximates how the revenue will change on the sale of the next item. a. Given R(100) = 642 and R'(100)= 18 then R(101) ≈ b. Given R(400) = 16,250 and R'(400)= -10 then R(401) ≈ c. Given R(1000) = 3500 and R'(1000) = 3 then R(1001) ≈arrow_forwardAssume X = $100 and So = $95. With T on the X-axis and $ on the Y-axis, plot the time value (price minus intrinsic value) implied for each of the following long call prices. Pa(So,T1,X) = $6.00; Pa(So,T2,X) = $7.00; Pa(So,T3,X) = $8.20; Pa(So,T4,X) = $12.50arrow_forwardIf sales volume increases and all other factors remain constant, then the: O contribution margin ratio will increase. O margin of safety will increase. break-even point will decrease. O net operating income will decrease.arrow_forward
