Answer the next 6 questions using the following information:
Â
Â
Drill Quest, Inc. manufactures drill bits for the oil industry. Drill Quest uses cost-plus pricing to set the price of its bits. Currently Drill Quest applies a 50 percent markup on average total cost. Average variable cost of producing bits is constant and equal to $6,000 per bit. Total fixed cost at Drill Quest is $550,000. DrillQuest currently produces 690 bits. Statistical estimation of demand for Drill Quest brand bits produces the following linear demand equation (where Q is the number of bits demanded and P is the price of bits):Â
1.       Using cost-plus pricing, Drill Quest prices its bits at $                            per bit.
Â
A. $10,195 B. $12,175 C. $797
D. $6,000 E. $6,797
Â
2.       Using the cost-plus price in question 2, Drill Quest earns profit of (approximately) $                      by selling 690 bits.
Â
A. $2,895,000 B. $2,345,000 C. $3,500,000 D. $3,895,000 E. $4,895,000
Â
3.       Use the MR = SMC approach to finding the profit-maximizing point on the demand for Drill Quest's bits. The profit-maximizing number of bits to sell is
Â
A. 250
B. 300
C. 350
D. 400
E. 450
Â
4.       Use the MR = SMC approach to finding the profit-maximizing point on the demand for Drill Quest's bits. The profit-maximizing price to charge is $              per bit.
Â
A. $15,000 B. $12,500 C. $10,378 D. $10,245 E. $10,000
Â
5.       Use the MR = SMC approach to finding the profit-maximizing point on the demand for Drill Quest's bits. The maximum possible profit is $              .
Â
A. $2,895,000 B. $2,345,000 C. $3,500,000 D. $3,895,000 E. $4,895,000
Â
6.       If Drill Quest wishes to use cost-plus pricing, it can maximize profit by applying a markup of            percent on                    .
Â
A.   150 percent; AVC
B.   150 percent; ATC
C.  50 percent; AVC
D.   50 percent; ATC
E.  250 percent; AVC
