If the required direct materials purchases are 15000 pounds, the direct materials required for production is three times the direct materials purchases, and the beginning direct materials are three and a half times the direct materials purchases, what are the desired ending direct materials in pounds?

Answer: 22500

Explanation:

The the desired ending direct materials in pounds will be calculated thus:

purchased (p) = 15000

Required will be = 3 × purchased = 3p

Beginning direct material = 3.5p

Therefore, the desired ending direct material will be:

= 3.5p + p - 3p

= 1.5p

= 1.5 × 15000

= 22500

Suppose there are only two firms that sell smartphones: Flashfone and Pictech. The payoff matrix that follows shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn, depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its phones. For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Flashfone prices low and Pictech prices high, Flashfone will earn a profit of $10 million and Pictech will earn a profit of $3 million. (Hint: Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Flashfone and Pictech are both profit-maximizing firms.) Pictech High Price Low Price Flashfone High Price 8, 8 3, 10 Low Price 10, 3 5, 5 If Flashfone prices high, Pictech will make more profit if it chooses alow price, and if Flashfone prices low, Pictech will make more profit if it chooses ahigh price.
