A retail store has two options for discounting items to go on clearance.
1: Decrease the price of the item by 15% each week.
2: Decrease the price of the item by $5 each week. If the cost of an item is $45, write a function rule for the difference in price between the two options.

Answer:

Difference = 1.75 , Function = mod [ 0.15x - 5 ]

Explanation:

Discount case 1 = $5 {Each week} , Discount case 2 = 15% {Each week}

After 1st week , for item cost = 45

Difference in price = 40 - 38.25 = 1.75  .It is same is difference in discount = 6.75 - 5 , ie = 1.75

Functional rule in price difference , for item with unknown price 'x' =          mod [ (x - 5) - (x - 0.15x) ] = mod [ x - 5 - x + 0.15x ] =  mod [ 0.15x - 5 ] , which is same as difference between discount '0.15x & 5'

Firm X develops and licenses its designs to be produced by outside manufacturers. Firm Y develops and manufactures its own designs. If the total invested capital of the two firms is the same, which likely has more equity capital and why

Celestial Artistry Company is developing departmental overhead rates based on direct-labor hours for its two production Department. Etching and Finishing. The Etching, Department employs 20 people and the Finishing Department employs 80 people. Each person in these two departments works 2,000hours per year. The production-related overhead costs for the Etching Department are budgeted at $200.000, and the Finishing Department costs are budgeted at $320.000. Two service departments. Maintenance and Computing directly support the two production departments. These service department, have budgeted costs of $48,000 and $250,000 respectively. The production department’s overhead rates cannot be determined until the service department’s costs are allocated. The following schedule reflects the use of the Maintenance Departments and Computing Department’s output by the various departments.
Using Department
Service Department Maintenance Computing Etching Finishing
Maintenance(maintenance hours) 0 1,000 1,000 8,000
Computing (minutes) 240,000 0 840,000 120,000
Required:
1. Use the direct method to allocate service department costs. Calculate the overhead rates per direct labor hour for the Etching Department and the Finishing Department.
2. Use the step–down method to allocate service department costs. Allocate the Computing Department’s costs first. Calculate the overhead rates per direct-labor hour for the Etching Department and the Finishing Department.

In a closed economy, saving and investment must be equal, but this is not the case in an open economy. In the following problem, you will explore how saving and investment are connected to the international flow of capital and goods in an economy. Before delving into the relationship between these various components of an economy, you will be asked to recall some relationships between aggregate variables that will be useful in your analysis.

Recall the components that makeup GDP. National income (Y) equals total expenditure on the economy's output of goods and services. Thus, where C= consumption, I= investment, G =government purchases, X=exports, M =imports, and NX= net exports.
Y= _____

Also, national saving is the income of the nation that is left after paying for _____. Therefore, national saving (S) equals:
S=_____

Rearranging the previous equation and solving for Y yields, Y= _____ Plugging this into the original equation showing the various components of GDP results in the following relationship:
S=_____

Microsoft sells two types of office software, a word processor it calls Word, and a spreadsheet it calls excel. Both can be produced at zero marginal cost. There are two types of consumers for these products, who exist in roughly equal proportions in the population: authors, who are willing to pay $120 for Word and $40 for excel, and economists who are willing to pay $50 for word and $150 for excel.
a. Ideally, Microsoft would like to charge authors more for Word and economists more for excel. Why would it be more difficult for microsoft to do this?
b. Suppose that Microsoft execs decide to sell word and Excel Seperately, what price should Microsoft set for word? (Hint: is it better to sell only to authors, or try to sell to both authors and economists?) What price should Microsoft set for excel? What will microsoft's profit be from a representative group of one author and one economist?
c. Suppose the Microsoft decides to bundle together Word and Excel in a package called Office, and not offer them individually. What price should Microsoft set for the package? Why? How much profit will Microsoft generate from a representative group of one author and one economist?
d. Does bundling allow Microsoft to generate higher profit than selling Word and Excel seperately?

Ahsan Company makes 60,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of this part is computed as follows: Direct materials $12.60 Direct labor 17.20 Variable manufacturing overhead 4.10 Fixed manufacturing overhead 15.00 Unit product cost $48.90 An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $69.70 a unit. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin on this other product would be $319,600 per year. If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labor cost of the part would be avoided. However, $4.30 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost being applied to the part would continue even if the part were purchased from the outside supplier. This fixed manufacturing overhead cost would be applied to the company's remaining products. How much of the unit product cost of $48.90 is relevant in the decision of whether to make or buy the part? Multiple Choice $44.60 $17.20 $69.70
