Answer:
D) 5182 glass vases
Explanation:
<em>Contribution per glass vases:</em>
$4.5 selling price - $ 1.75 variable cost= 2.75
<em>Operating income:</em>
29,000 units x $ 2.75 - $ 8,500 = $71,250 operating income
<em>Target income is to obtain a 20% increase:</em>
71,250 x (1 + 20%) = 85,500 target income:
<em>units needed for target income:</em>
(85,500 target income + 8,500 fixed cost) / 2.75 contribution per unit= 34.181,81
aditional glass vases needed for target income:
34,182 - 29,000 = 5,182
Answer:
cyclical unemployment.
Explanation:
Unemployment rate refers to the percentage of the total labor force in an economy, who are unemployed but seeking to be gainfully employed. The unemployment rate is divided into various types, these include;
I. Cyclical unemployment rate (CU).
II. Frictional unemployment rate (FU).
III. Structural unemployment rate (SU).
IV. Actual unemployment rate (AU).
V. Natural Rate of Unemployment (NU).
A cyclical unemployment can be defined as a type of unemployment which is typically related to changes in the business, economy or industry cycle such as recession, governmental policies etc.
Mathematically, cyclical unemployment rate can be calculated using the formula;
Hence, the increase in unemployment that occurs during recessions and depressions is called cyclical unemployment
Answer:
Ten pounds of chicken to trade for at least <u>40</u> pounds of vegetables but not more than<u> 50</u> pounds of vegetables
Explanation:
Vegetables Chicken Trade Off Ratio
John 40 10 4:1 (40/10) or 1:0.25 (10/40)
George 25 5 5:1 (25/5) or 1:0.20 (5/25)
John has comparative advantage in Chicken and George has comparative advantage in Veggies because :
- John's chicken opportunity cost, in veggies < George (4<5). George's veggies opportunity cost, in chicken < John (0.20<0.25).
- George is more (5X) productive in veggies than chicken, than John (4X). John is less unproductive in chicken than veggies (1/4th), compared to George (1/5th).
So, John will sell Chicken to George & George will sell veggies to John. Gains from trade are when each get trade ratio better than their their own trade off ratio.
- It implies: John gets >' 4 pounds veggies per chicken pound' and George gets > '0.20 pound chicken per veggie pound'.
- Unitary method:- '1chicken : 4veggies' = '10chickens : 40veggies' and '0.20chicken : 1veggie' = '10chickens : 50 veggies' .
Answer:
$3,168
Explanation:
We will receive $4000 in future (after 4 years time) which means all we want to know is the amount that we Derek must deposit today.
This present value of the $4000 payment received after 4 years from today can be calculated using the following formula:
Present value = Future Value / (1 + r)^n
Here
Future Value is $4000
r is 6%
n is 4 years
So by putting values, we have:
Present value = $4000 / (1 + 6%)^4 Years
Present value = $3,168
