Rodrigo operates a dry-cleaning service and charges customers $5 per article of clothing. Based on his knowledge of operations, the 1,000th piece of clothing costs him $4.95 to dry clean. If he takes additional business, however, the 1,001st piece will cost $5 for the service. Does he take the additional business?a. no, he has hidden costs that far exceed his estimate of $5, so he loses money. b. no, taking on additional business doesn’t earn him any money. c. yes, if he turns away business, his service will be forced to close. d. maybe. if a competitor is accepting that many customers, he must at least equal that amount. e. yes. at a $5 cost, he breaks even and is indifferent. he necessarily turns away business when the cost of the additional unit exceeds the income.
Answer:
yes. at a $5 cost, he breaks even and is indifferent. he necessarily turns away business when the cost of the additional unit exceeds the income.
Explanation:
To maximize profits, a firm should continue selling until the marginal revenue product equals the marginal cost of the product. Marginal revenue product is the additional revenue from the sale of an extra cost. Marginal cost is the extra expense associated with the production of an additional unit.
Rodrigo should accept that extra business. His marginal revenue product from additional business equals the marginal cost. He will not make an accounting profit or loss but may gain a long term customer. He should decline any additional business only if the marginal cost is greater than the marginal revenue product.
Final answer:
Rodrigo should take the additional business as he breaks even on the 1,001st article of clothing, potentially keeping or attracting more customers without any immediate monetary loss, although he needs to consider any hidden costs and long-term business strategy.
Explanation:
Rodrigo faces a decision in his dry-cleaning business regarding whether to accept additional business when the cost of servicing the 1,001st article of clothing is exactly equal to the price charged to the customer. We analyze this decision as follows:
If Rodrigo's cost for cleaning the 1,001st item is $5 and he charges $5, then he is breaking even on that unit. This is option (e) from the provided choices. In this case, Rodrigo does not gain or lose money on this additional unit.However, if there are any hidden costs or the opportunity for added revenue from future business as a result of taking on more work, this break-even analysis could change.Other factors like customer satisfaction, reputation, and long-term strategic goals need to be considered beyond the immediate cost and revenue.Based on the information given, and ignoring any possible hidden costs and external effects on the business, the answer is e. Yes, he breaks even on the 1,001st article but does not necessarily turn away business unless the cost of an additional unit would exceed the revenue.
The company is currently selling 5,000 units per month. Fixed expenses are $243,000 per month. The marketing manager believes that an $11,000 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 180 unit increase in monthly sales. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?
Answer:
If the company decides to increase its advertising budget, its net profits will decrease by $200 (= $56,800 - $57,000).
Explanation:
The company is currently selling 5,000 units per month at $150 per unit, and its total variable costs are $90 per unit.
Fixed expenses are $243,000 per month.
Current income statement:
sales revenue = $750,000
minus variable costs = ($450,000)
minus fixed costs = ($243,000)
net income = $57,000
If the company increases its advertising budget be $11,000 it should sell 180 more units per month, the new income statement would be:
sales revenue = $777,000
minus variable costs = ($466,200)
minus fixed costs = ($254,000)
net income = $56,800
If the company decides to increase its advertising budget, its net profits will decrease by $200 (= $56,800 - $57,000).

D.) Low-impact
Answer: High-impact crashes
Explanation:
High impact crashes are automobile crashes, that occurs at very high speeds and has a high likelihood to cause injuries and in some cases death to passengers of vehicles or pedestrians around.
Expressways and divided highways are roadways where vehicle drivers are allowed to drive at high speeds, therefore increasing the chances of high impact crashes occuring.
Divided highways and expressways typically have high speed limits which increase the risk of high-impact crashes. These are accidents where a significant amount of force is transferred between vehicles, often resulting in severe injuries and damage.
Explanation:Roads that serve as expressways and divided highways typically have high speed limits. This, combined with the volume of vehicles and the lack of intersections, increases the risk of certain types of accidents. Specifically, these roads are more likely to witness high-impact crashes. High-impact crashes are collisions wherein a high amount of force is exchanged between vehicles, often resulting from high-speed driving. These kinds of crashes often lead to more severe injuries and damages compared to fender-benders or low-impact crashes.

Which of the following is true about potential GDP: Select one:
A. For a nation to be at its potential GDP, the unemployment rate has to be zero.
B. current GDP will be below potential GDP. A nations actual GDP can never be greater than its potential
C. When current GDP is greater than potential GDP, then current unemployment will be below the natural unemployment rate
D. If the current unemployment rate is below the natural unemployment rate, then
Answer:
The correct answer is option C.
Explanation:
At the potential level of GDP, the unemployment rate is equal to the natural rate of unemployment. It is considered the full employment level, though the unemployment rate is not zero. There is no cyclical unemployment at this point, but structural and frictional unemployment exists.
When the current GDP is greater than the potential GDP, it means that the economy is facing inflationary pressures. At this level, the unemployment rate will be lower than the natural rate of unemployment.
In such situations, the government needs to adopt contractionary policies to correct the fluctuations in the economy and bring the economy back to the potential or full employment level.
When current GDP is greater than potential GDP, then current unemployment will be below the natural unemployment rate.
The correct answer to the question is: C. When current GDP is greater than potential GDP, then current unemployment will be below the natural unemployment rate.
Potential GDP refers to the maximum level of output that an economy can produce when it is operating at full capacity and with full employment.
When current GDP is greater than potential GDP, it suggests that the economy is producing more than its maximum capacity, which leads to a decrease in unemployment below the natural unemployment rate.
So, When current GDP is greater than potential GDP, then current unemployment will be below the natural unemployment rate.

A real (or constant) dollar value can be calculated by dividing the nominal (unadjusted or current dollar) value by the ____________ for that year.
a) inflation rate
b) GDP growth rate
c) price index (decimal shifted)
d) any of the above
Answer:
(C) price index (decimal shifted)
Explanation:
A real dollar value can be calculated as follows:
Real Dollar Value = [tex]\frac{Norminal Dollar Value}{Price Index}[/tex].
The price index is an adjustment figure that is computed as (the price in the current year) divided by (the price in a base year). Thus the price index expresses the price in the current year in relative terms to $1 in the base year. As such, if the price index in the current year is 1.25, it means current year prices are 25% more expensive that they were in the base year.
