· Question 1

The unit contribution margin (in the break-even analysis) refers to:

The price of the product less its average variable cost
The price of the product less its average fixed cost
The price of the product less its marginal cost
The price of the product less its average total cost

· Question 2

When the firm produces at the loss-minimizing output, marginal profit is:

Zero
Positive
Negative
Can be positive, negative or zero

· Question 3

When marginal profit is zero, Average profit:

Equals marginal profit
Is positive
Is zero
Can be positive, negative or zero

Solutions

Expert Solution

1) ans is C.

Unit contribution margin=Price-marginal cost

2)ans is A

marginal profit is zero because firm produces at a point where marginal revenue=marginal cost.

Thus marginal profit=0

3)ans is D

when marginal profit is zero then average profit can be negative, positive or zero as well because marginal profit=marginal revenue-marginal cost

In this unit, you have been introduced to contribution margin, break-even analysis, and cost-volume-profit analysis. The contribution margin is how much a product contributes to covering fixed costs. Break-even is the point at which both variable and fixed costs are recouped through pricing, with no amounts left over. Both contribution margin and break-even analyses are part of cost-volume-profit analyses (CVP); however, in addition, CVP can be further expanded to determine how changes in prices, costs, and volume impact profits. CVP...
