H1. Mimi's is developing a Fiery Habanero muffin, which will NOT compete with anything Mimi's currently offers. Unit contribution margin for the new Fiery Habanero muffin would be $3.38. Contribution margin for the company's Banana Nut muffin is $3.25 per unit. Mimi's expects to sell 45,000 units of the new muffin, if it is introduced. Compute weighted contribution margin for the new muffin. (Rounding: penny.)

The Future Flight Corporation manufactures a variety of Frisbees selling for $2.98 each. Sales have averaged 10,000 units per month during the last year. Recently, Future Flight's closest competitor, Soaring Free Company, cut its prices on similar Frisbees from $3.49 to $2.59. Future Flight noticed that its sales declined to 8,000 units per month after the price cut. Q.2.1.1 What is the midpoint cross price elasticity of demand between Future Flight's and Soaring Free's Frisbees?

Q#3: XYZ construction are manufactures of slabs and are the major suppliers for orange train in Lahore. XYZ is manufacturing two types of slabs. The cost for these two types of slabs are $175 and $225, respectively. XYZ current production capacity is 200 slabs (both types). Because of the urgency of the need, government of the Punjab would pay the manufacture a bonus of $50,000 plus an additional $25 for each of the unit greater than 200. Determine the function which determine the sales of the number of slabs provided of each type by XYZ construction. What is the expected profit if XYZ is manufacturing 150 slabs of type 1, and 250 slabs of type IL
Suppose you manage a business that produces high-end dog food. The business produces 3,000 dog food cans per day, and can sell each can at $2.00/can regardless of how much is produced. Your firm currently employs 20 workers, each of whom earns $15/hour and work 8 hours per day. Inputs, like the meat for the food and the metal for the can, cost $1.00/can. Your overhead expenses, including rent, property taxes, insurance, etc., which does not vary with the number of cans produced, equals $250 per day. a. (3) Calculate your company’s current daily profit. You’re considering whether to hire additional workers to produce additional cans. Each worker would be paid $15/hr. and material costs remain constant at $1.00/can. You estimate the 21st employee would produce an additional 200 cans per day, and the number of additional cans from each additional worker would be decreasing by 40 (a 22nd employee could produce an additional 160 cans per day, a 23rd employee could produce an additional…

ect of the utility commission's ruling on the profitability of the firm? 15 A company estimates that the demand for its product fluctuates with the price it charges. The demand function is q = 280,000 – 400p where q equals the number of units demanded and p equals the price in dollars. The total cost of producing q units of the product is estimated by the function C = 350,000 + 300q + 0.0015q? (a) Determine how many units q should be produçed in order to maximize annual profit. (b) What price should be charged? (c) What is the annual profit expected to equal? 16 Solve the previous exercise, using the
Joseph migrated to Canada from Ghana 5 years ago. He currentlyworks in sales but is considering quitting work for two years to earn an MBA degree. His current job pays $40,000 per year (after taxes), but he could earn $55,000 per year (after taxes) if he had an MBA. Tuition is $10,000 per year, and the cost of an apartment near campus is equal to the $10,000 he is currently paying. His discount rate is 6 percent per year. He just turned 48 and plans to retire when he turns 60, whether or not he earns his MBA degree. Based on this information, should he go for an MBA degree? Explain carefully with appropriate calculations. Using time value of money to solve.
Assume a company expects to sell 6 million packages of Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty! in the first year after introduction but expects that 70 percent of those sales will come from buyers who would normally purchase existing Pop-Tart flavors (that is, cannibalized sales). The price for a package of Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty! is $1.30 and its variable cost is $0.65, when the price for a package of original Pop-Tart is $1.10 with variable cost of $0.30. Assuming the sales of regular Pop-Tarts are normally 300 million packages per year and that the company will incur an increase in fixed costs of $450,000 during the first year to launch Gone Nutty! will the new product be profitable for the company? Determine the unit contributions and the loss for every package cannibalized from the original product. (Round to the nearest cent.) Unit contribution original Pop-Tarts $ Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty! Loss for every package cannibalized S
Paccar Winch makes winch components for its different product lines. The firm operates its production facility three hundred and five days per year. It has orders for about twelve thousand winch components per year and has the capability of producing one hundred and five per day. Setting up the winch production costs fifty five dollars. The cost of each winch component is one dollar and ten cents. The holding cost is fifteen cents per winch component per year. a) What is the optimal size of the production run? b) What is the average holding cost per year? c) What is the average setup cost per year? d) What is the total cost per year, including the cost of the winch components?
A company estimates that the relationship between. unit price and demand per month for a potential new product is approximated by p= $100.00-$0.10D. The company can produce the product by increasing fixed costs $17,500 per month, and the estimated variable cost is $40.00 per unit. What is the demand that maximizes revenue and the maximum revenue? What is the optimal demand, D*, and based on this demand, should the company produce the new product? Why? (Work out the complete solution by differential calculus, starting with the formula for profit or loss per month.)
A large company in the communication and publishing industry has quantified the relationship between the price of one of its products and the demand for this product as Price=160−0.02×Demand for an annual printing of this particular product. The fixed costs per year (i.e., per printing)=$47,000 and the variable cost per unit=$40. What is the maximum profit that can be achieved? What is the unit price at this point of optimal demand? Demand is not expected to be more than 4,000 units per year. The maximum profit that can be achieved is $? (Round to the nearest dollar.) The unit price at the point of optimal demand is $? per unit.
