1 answer:

3 0

The law of increasing opportunity cost tells us that, as the economy moves along the production possibilities curve in the direction of more of one good, its opportunity cost will increase.

<h3>What is economy ?</h3>

An economy is a region where products and services are produced, distributed, traded, and consumed. It is generally understood to be a social domain that places an emphasis on the behaviors, discourses, and tangible manifestations connected to the creation, utilization, and management of finite resources.

One's culture, values, education, technological advancement, history, social organization, political structure, legal system, and natural resources are all major determinants of an economy's processes. These elements determine the parameters and conditions under which an economy operates in addition to providing background and content. In other words, the economic realm is a social domain made up of connected human behaviors and exchanges that cannot exist independently.

Individuals, companies, organizations, or governments all qualify as economic actors.

c. The variable overhead efficiency variance is $30,000 Favorable

<h3>What is variable overhead?</h3>

Variable overhead is a cost of running a business that varies with operational activity. Variable overheads rise and fall in lockstep with production output. Overheads, such as administrative overhead, are often a set cost.

The variable manufacturing overhead controllable variance reflects how effectively the company stuck to its budget. The difference between the planned fixed overhead at normal capacity and the standard fixed overhead for the actual units produced is the fixed factory overhead volume variance.

a. The budgeted variable overhead for 2017 = Budgeted hours * Variable overhead rate per hour

= (25000*0.75)*$25 = $468,750

b. Variable overhead spending variance = (SR - AR) * AH = ($25 - $23) * 19050 = $38,100 Favorable

c. Variable overhead efficiency variance = (SH - AH) * SR = (27000*0.75 - 19050) * $25 = $30,000 Favorable

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Proposal A: 5,455 units

Proposal B: 5,770 units

Explanation:

The break-even point is the number of units required for the revenue to equal the total costs.

For proposal A:

Fixed Costs = $60,000

Variable Costs = $13 / unit

Selling Price = $24 / unit

$(P-VC)*n-FC = 0\\(24-13)*n-60,000 = 0\\n=5,454.5\ units$

For proposal B:

Fixed Costs = $75,000

Variable Costs = $11 / unit

Selling Price = $24 / unit

$(P-VC)*n-FC = 0\\(24-11)*n-75,000 = 0\\n=5,769.2\ units$

Rounding up to the next whole unit, the break-even points for proposal A and B, respectively, are 5,455 and 5,770 units.

= b. $40.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Milk Honey Total GDP

Cost per gallon in 2014 $2 $1

Quantity produced 10 20

Total production value $20 ($2*10) $20 ($1*20) $40 ($20 + $20)

Cost per gallon in 2015 $2 $1

Quantity produced 12 24

Total production value $24 ($2*12) $24 ($1*24) $48 ($24+ $24)

Cost per gallon in 2016 $2.50 $1.25

Quantity produced 12 24

Total production value $30 ($2.50*12) $30 ($1.25*24) $60 ($30 + $30)

The real GDP in 2014 is the calculated value of $40. Using 2015 as the base year, there is no inflation since the unit prices of milk and honey remained the same in both years.
