The market equilibrium quantity without the $1.50 excise tax is ______________ units. The market equilibrium quantity with the $1.50 excise tax is ______________ units. The change in equilibrium quantity due to the $1.50 excise tax is ______________ units. (Note: Red colored supply curve should be Qs with no tax and Green supply curve is Qs with tax. Error below in labeling)

Answer:

Equilibrium quantity without excise tax is 130 units.

Equilibrium quantity with excise tax is 110 units.

The change in equilibrium quantity is 20 units decrease due to excise tax.

Explanation:

The quantity demanded without tax is 130 units because this is equilibrium point where quantity supplied equals to quantity demanded. The quantity demanded with tax is 110 units because the price will increase by $1.50 due to excise tax. The new price would be $4.50 after excise tax so the quantity will be declined to 110 units.

Part U16 is used by Mcvean Corporation to make one of its products. A total of 16,500 units of this part are produced and used every year. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the part at this level of activity: Per Unit Direct materials $ 3.60 Direct labor $ 8.20 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 8.70 Supervisor's salary $ 4.10 Depreciation of special equipment $ 2.50 Allocated general overhead $ 7.70 An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $27.50 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make part U16 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $28,500 per year for that product. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying part U16 from the outside supplier should be:

An order has been received from an overseas customer for 3700 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $2.90 less per unit on this order than on normal sales. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. Suppose there is not enough idle capacity to produce all of the units for the overseas customer and accepting the special order would require cutting back on production of 1550 units for regular customers. The minimum acceptable price per unit for the special order is closest to:
