    Not only did I learn about Fixed, Variable, and Marginal Costs
    but also learned how to use Excel lol

    This is literally the help that I needed that I did not get in my class. This video has truly taken the frustration out of figuring things out by myself!

  • @spirituelconnexion
    @spirituelconnexion Před 12 lety

    My only observation is that the second,and maybe and third, added worker should have made the total product greater than what two workers can produce by themselves, to show the synergy effect, which is more realistic. Then the total product can go down as we add more workers to come back to the scenario you're following.
    What I am saying is there is a little step in the scenario that's skipped, probably for the sake of simplicity. Other than that, excellent video, helped me a lot !

    Dear Friends,
    I have 2 questions:
    1/ In a promotion program (buy 3 product A and 2 product B then customer will rebate to 5000 USD).
    Question: I want to calculate the break-even point of this program, what are the variable and fixed costs?.
    2/ With the long-term business strategy, I think we should do the business process is:
    Step 1: The Board of Director (BoD) write the long-term strategy.
    Step 2: The Departments (exclude financial) will be write the plan of each SBU (Strategic busines unit).
    Step 3: The Financial department write the financial plan (OPEX plan and CAPEX plan, bank loan, M&A transaction)
    Step 4: The BoD review and feeback, the departments modify and re-submit. Final, the BoD approve.
    Step 5: The company execute and review the final result.
    How do you think?. Thank you.

    @Emeengor I sometimes wonder how is that not easy to do, but I think it gets much harder when you get to the higher levels

  • @nanaplaatjie754
    @nanaplaatjie754 Před 9 lety

    if im only given units(output) column. and total cost column, all other columns are empty. and they say calculate marginal cost, average fixed cost average variables and average total cost. eg. output is 4. total cost is 220

    how do you assume the variable cost? None of the problems we are doing do we get to assume that number.

  • @CHURCHISAWESUM

    Looks like hiring 3 people or hiring 7 people are the most efficient options for low-budget/output and high-budget/output respectively.

    I think it's an output since it's the programmers' combined productivity.

    • @mikoajkacki9443
      @mikoajkacki9443 Před 6 lety +3

      if you meant that you have given a total cost FUNCTION then fixed costs are without any variables and variable have variables
      ex. TC=100q+100 then 100 is total cost function, 100q is a variable cost function, seems reasonable
      actually i'm not sure if you asked about it but if you didn't just ignore

    still don't understand about Variable Cost ! " Well, Let's just say that the full compensation for a programmer is $10,000 a month." Why $10.000 a month ??? saying for fun ? lol please explain this ! pleaseeeeeeeeee

    • @kkandbeyond

      Wanda Diggs woah thanks for the reply. I hope you could reply as soon as possible. so here it is ummm the only given items that is given to me are: FIXED COST: 70,000. UNIT SOLD: 2000 units. NET INCOME: 200000. CM: 25% of sales. No sales and variable cost per unit

    • @wandadiggs4551

  • @Sharter189
    @Sharter189 Před 9 lety +2

    why would lines of code go down with more programmers :X

    • @harrypark1511
      @harrypark1511 Před 9 lety +2

      Think of it this way.
      If there is only 1 programmer, he/she has all the power and say in what code to write down. However, let's say the company adds another programmer. Now there are two programmer. Now that first programmer can't just write down whatever code he/she wants, because now the two programmers are going to have to have meetings regarding which code to write, or maybe they don't always agree so that may delay the project. So in a sense, as more programmers are added productivity will increase but at some point productivity will start to decrease.

      As the number of workers increase, workers must share the fixed amount of equipment and may get in each other's way ---> Diminishing marginal returns to labor.
