Farrow Co. expects to sell 500,000 units of its product in the next period with the following results. Sales (500,000 units) $ 7,500,000 Costs and expenses Direct materials 1,000,000 Direct labor 2,000,000 Overhead 500,000 Selling expenses 750,000 Administrative expenses 1,285,000 Total costs and expenses 5,535,000 Net income $ 1,965,000 The company has an opportunity to sell 50,000 additional units at $13 per unit. The additional sales would not affect its current expected sales. Direct materials and labor costs per unit would be the same for the additional units as they are for the regular units. However, the additional volume would create the following incremental costs: (1) total overhead would increase by 16% and (2) administrative expenses would increase by $215,000. Calculate the combined total net income if the company accepts the offer to sell additional units at the reduced price of $13 per unit. Should the company accept or reject the offer?

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.]
