Sutherland manufactures and sells 60,000 laser printers each month. A principal component part in each printer is its paper feed drive. Sutherland’s plant currently has the monthly capacity to produce 80,000 drives. The unit costs of manufacturing these drives (up to 80,000 per month) are as follows.
Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 25 Direct labor 20 Variable manufacturing overhead 5 Fixed costs per month: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 600,000 Desk-Mate Printers has offered to buy 15,000 paper feed drives from Sutherland to be used in its own printers.
a. Compute the average unit cost of manufacturing each paper feed drive assuming that Sutherland manufactures only enough drives for its own laser printers.
b. Compute the incremental unit cost of producing an additional paper feed drive.
c. Compute the per-unit sales price that Sutherland should charge Desk-Mate to earn $150,000 in monthly pretax profit on the sale of drives to Desk-Mate.

73. calculate the weighted average cost of capital (wacc) based on the following information: the equity multiplier is 1.66; the interest rate on debt is 13%; the required return to equity holders is 22%; and the tax rate is 35%. (a) 15.6% (b) 16.0% (c) 15.0% (d) 16.6% (e) none of the above

Suppose a firm faces a fixed price of output, 푝푝= 1200. the firm hires workers from a union at a daily wage, 푤푤, to produce output according to the production function 푞푞= 2퐸퐸12. there are 225 workers in the union. any union worker who does not work for this firm is guaranteed to find nonunion employment at a wage of $96 per day. a.what is the firm’s labor demand function? b.if the firm is allowed to choose 푤푤, but then the union decides how many workers to provide (up to 225) at that wage, what wage will the firm set? how many workers will the union provide? what is the firm’s output and profit? what is the total income of the 225 union workers? c.now suppose that the union sets the wage, but the firm decides how many workers to hire at that wage (up to 225). what wage will the union set to maximize the total income of all 225 workers? how many workers will the firm hire? what is the firm’s output and profit? what is the total income of the 225 union workers? [hint: to maximize total income of union, take the first order condition with respect to w and set equal to 0.]
