The correct option is C) marginal cost, average variable cost, and the average total cost would all fall.

It is correct because if the variable cost falls, it will show its effect on marginal, average variable, and average total costs and eventually these costs will fall. The variable cost is included in the calculation of marginal and total costs. And the average variable cost is derived from total variable cost.

Variable Inputs:

The variable inputs are used in performing the production function. Variable means that can change easily, so, in production, variable inputs fluctuate according to the requirement. Variable inputs include labor, raw material, and other inputs.

Reason for incorrect answers:

Option a) is incorrect because the firm can estimate the per-unit cost after reducing input prices.

Option b) is incorrect because the average fixed does not include variable cost, so it will not fall if the variable cost gets reduced.

Option d) is incorrect because the marginal cost will change according to the change in total cost. And the total cost will fall if the variable cost falls.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

1) assets basis:

land = $1,221,151

equipment = $462,000

furniture and fixtures = $308,000

parking lots and landscaping = $370,000

building = $11,241,600

2) interest expense:

interest on notes payable issued to buy land = $52,812

interest expense on other notes payable = $479,733

total = $532,545

Explanation:

the basis of the land (not depreciable):

  • $370,000 paid in cash
  • PV of notes payable = $770,000 / 1.08² = $660,151
  • closing costs = $37,000
  • demolition of existing structures = $87,000
  • land clearing and grading = $67,000
  • total = $1,221,151

Demolition costs as well as land grading and clearing add to the basis of the land, they are not included as part of construction costs. Therefore, they cannot be capitalized and added to the building's basis. The land is one asset and the building is a separate one, you cannot mix them. Only construction costs incurred when building the building (I don't know how else to say it) can be considered as accumulated expenditures for interest capitalization. The same applies to land improvements, they cannot be included in the construction's accumulated expenditures, they are separate assets.

interest expense on notes payable = $660,151 x 8% = $52,812

basis of equipment, furniture and fixtures (depreciable assets):

  • equipment = ($522 / $870) x $770,000 = $462,000
  • furniture and fixtures = ($348 / $870) x $770,000 = $308,000

parking lots and landscaping (depreciable land improvements):

  • $370,000

total building construction expense during 2021:

  • May 1 : $3,750,000
  • July 30:  $2,350.000
  • September 1:  $1,920,000
  • October 1 : $2,820.000
  • total = $10,840,000

weighted construction expenditures 2021:

  • May 1 : $3,750,000  x 8/12 = $2,500,000
  • July 30:  $2,350.000  x 6/12 = $1,175,000
  • September 1:  $1,920,000  x 4/12 = $640,000
  • October 1 : $2,820.000 x 3/12 = $705,000
  • total = $5,020,000

capitalized interests = $5,020,000 x 8% = $401,600

basis of building:

  • total construction expenses = $10,840,000
  • capitalized interests = $401,600
  • total = $11,241,600

interest expense on other notes payable = ($6,100,000 x 8% x 8/12) + ($6,950,000 x 8%) - $401,600 = $479,733.33 ≈ $479,733

When people move to an area of the world that was previously unpopulated, we expect more consumers and more producers to spring
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

When people move to a previously unpopulated area, the quantity of both consumers as well producers will increase. This will create an increase in both the demand as well as the supply. Both the demand and the supply curve will move to the right.

This rightward shift in both the demand as well as supply curve will lead to an increase in equilibrium quantity. The change in equilibrium price will depend upon the extent of change in demand and supply.

Firms choose how to produce the goods and services they sell. In many​ cases, firms face a​ trade-off between using more workers
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

It depends upon the economical situation. For example if we talk about USA, the labour here costs more than China, whereas in USA machines are less costly than China which means USA can only benefit globally if its products have lower cost from China (China is the biggest competitor of USA) by using fewer labour and relying more on machines.
