One plus one makes two. Two plus two makes four. Three plus three makes six. All basic arithmetic that is taught to preschoolers.

$30 with the average cost of $20. The equation for demand is Q = 40,000-500P Q = number of cookbooks sold per month P = price of my cookbooks Cookbooks sold at $25 (Purple line) Q = 40,000 – (500 * 25) = 27,500 cookbooks Cookbooks sold at $35 (Red line) Q = 40,000 – (500 * 35) = 22,500 cookbooks The red line on the demand curve depicts the price and quantity of the cookbooks if sold at $30 apiece. Q= 40,000 – (500 *30) = 25,000 cookbooks I estimate that the annual cost of this business will
statement In the previous chapter, the manufacturing costs for the bottled water have been determined at £1, 10 per bottle. And after analyzing the marketing research, the prices for the bottled water have been set at; 500 mil still glass: £3 375 ml still PET: £2.5 The number of units that will be exported is 5000 units per month. Therefore, annually 5000X12=60,000 units will be exported to the UK. Which makes the annual manufacturing cost for 60,000 units 60,000X£1, 10= £66,000 In the earlier

Appendix 1. at the first stage support costs were allocated to two existing departments, i.e. Machining and Assembly, based on direct labor hours. Therefore total amount of costs assigned to Machining department is $472.000,00 and to Assembly department is $248.000,00. At the second stage total costs from both departments were distributed to products (Regular and Deluxe). Referring to our calculations in Appendix 1. you may find that total amount of costs assigned to Regular model is $765.857,14

ANSWER 1 – Long-run average cost refers to per unit cost incurred by an organization in the production of a desired level of output when all the inputs are variable. The LRAC of an organization can be attained from its short-run average cost curves. Each SRAC curve represents the firm's short-run cost of production when different amounts of capital are used. The shape of the LRAC curve is similar to the SRAC curve while the U-shape of the LRAC is not due to increasing and later diminishing marginal
