this is for business
break even point = fixed costs/ contribution per unit
contribution per unit=selling price-variable costs
selling price = 108000/900 =120
vc per unit = (45000+28800+13500)/900=97
therefore breakeven = 27000/(120-97)
=1174 units

1174 * 120 (selling price) = $140880 breakeven in value

do the same for factory!

i got the same answer as urs bt it varies with a few units

Can any1 help me with question 2 and 19? i dnt knw hw to get the answer for them. Here is da link :
http://maxpapers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/9708_w13_qp_3.pdf

Da answer is B for 2 and B for 19 :)

hey i can explain the 19th one but i'm not quite sure if my working is right okay :p
so yeah :-

a $100 increase in national income is distrubuted in the following way = $10 in taxes $25 in imports and $15 is saved. since there is a shortage of $50 we take that as government spending.
therefore :- 100=10+25+15+50

now in the above equation substitute the 100 with 50000 and multiply the rest of the components by 500 too. Your government spending value would then be (50*500) which is equal to 25000

sorry if the explanation is too confusing. this is the easiest i could do :3 and i have an explanation for the second one also. i could explain if u can understand this

explain the incidence of subsidies for perfectly elastic/inelastic demand and supply curves pls :)
The graphs are presented above. When the government announces subsidy for a firm, the supply curve for the firm shifts rightwards and it means that it has increased, due to this, the cost of the product decreases. However, in case of perfectly elastic demand, the provision of subsidy has little or no effect on the price level.
