Answer:

Please see explanation.

Explanation:

Once the factory overhead rate is determined using the estimated amount of factory overhead and estimated base, it is used to charge overhead cost to the jobs, products or work performed.

Since, not all overhead costs are known at the time of making the product, (such as electricity bill is received after the month end) therefore, the estimated rate is used to apply the overhead cost to the job or product using actual activity level. This is called absorption or application of overheads to the products / jobs.

Due to this, at each period end, the management calculates and compares the actual overhead cost with the applied overhead cost and determine the over or under applied overheads.

A 60,000 square meter rectangular yard is to be enclosed on three sides by wood fencing that costs $25.00 per meter and on the f

raketka [301]

Answer:

$C'(y) = 50 -\frac{3900000}{y^2}=0$

And we can solve for y and we got:

$y = \sqrt{\frac{3900000}{50}}= 279.285$

And using condition (1) we can solve for x and we got:

$x= \frac{60000}{279.285}= 214.834$

So then the minimum cost for this case would be:

$C = 50*279.285 + 65*214.834 = 27928.49$

Explanation:

For this case the graph attached illustrate the problem for this case

We know that the total area is 60000, so then we have:

$xy = 60000$

If we solve for x we got:

$x = \frac{60000}{y}$ (1)

Now we can define the cost function like this:

$C = 2*(25)*y + 25 x +40 x$

$C(x,y) = 50 y + 65 x$

We can use the condition (1) and if we replace in the cost function we have:

$C(y) = 50 y + 65(\frac{60000}{y})$

Since we need to minimize the cost, we can derivate the function in terms of y and we got:

$C'(y) = 50 -\frac{3900000}{y^2}=0$

And we can solve for y and we got:

$y = \sqrt{\frac{3900000}{50}}= 279.285$

And using condition (1) we can solve for x and we got:

$x= \frac{60000}{279.285}= 214.834$

So then the minimum cost for this case would be:

$C = 50*279.285 + 65*214.834 = 27928.49$

Suppose that Fizzo and Pop Hop are the only two firms that sell orange soda. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in mi

Serga [27]

Solution :

It is given that Fizzo and Pop Hop sells orange soda. Fizzo advertises about his drinks while Pop Hop does not advertises.

According to the matrix provided we can conclude that :

-- If Fizzo wishes to advertise about his soda drinks, he will earn a profit of 8 million dollar and if Pop Hop do advertises and a 15 million dollar if Pop Hop does not advertises.

-- If Fizzo does not advertise, it will earn profit of about 2 million dollar if Pop Hop advertises and 9 million dollar if Pop Hop does not advertises.

-- When Pop Hop wished to advertise , Fizzo will make a higher profit if he chooses to advertise.

-- When Pop Hop do not advertise, Fizzo will make a higher profit when it chooses to advertise.

And if both the firms acts independently and they start off not advertising, then --- both firms will advertise as both of them will earn highest profits each.

If both the firms collude and both firms start off not advertising, the strategies they will end up is that both the firms will not advertise as the joint profit will be maximized.
