Patriot Co. manufactures and sells three products: red, white, and blue. Their unit selling prices are red, $48; white, $78; and blue, $103. The per unit variable costs to manufacture and sell these products are red, $33; white, $53; and blue, $73. Their sales mix is reflected in a ratio of 4:5:2 (red:white:blue). Annual fixed costs shared by all three products are $143,000. One type of raw material has been used to manufacture all three products. The company has developed a new material of equal quality for less cost. The new material would reduce variable costs per unit as follows: red, by $8; white, by $18; and blue, by $8. However, the new material requires new equipment, which will increase annual fixed costs by $13,000. Required: 1. Assume if the company continues to use the old material, determine its break-even point in both sales units and sales dollars of each individual product. (Round composite units up to next whole number.)

German brothels recently began offering a monthly subscription service for multiple purchasers. if you thought that the brothels' encouragement of prostitution was immoral to begin with, would you consider this pricing plan to be even more immoral? suppose a particular patron at a german brothel has the following willingness-to-pay schedule for services at the brothel, per session. session willingness to pay 1st $84 2nd $72 3rd $60 4th $48 5th $36 6th $24 suppose this consumer would not demand any more sessions, even for free. also assume that the marginal cost to the brothel, per session, is constant at $12. at a price of $78.00 per session, the number of sessions demanded by this consumer would be . at this price and quantity, consumer surplus is $ and producer surplus is $ . suppose the brothel has devised a new pricing scheme for consumers who demand more than 1 session. this pricing scheme is a subscription service, whereby consumers can pay a flat fee of $259.20 and can have up to 6 sessions total. using this subscription pricing model, this consumer would demand sessions. under this scenario, consumer surplus is $ and producer surplus is $ . (hint: for consumer surplus, consider how much total value the consumer places on all sessions, versus the total price paid.)
