Answer:
a, The PPF intersect the Y-axis at 1000 units of luxury goods
The PPF intersect the X-axis at 500 units of necessity good
It means that when the society produces zero units of necessity, it can produce 1000 units of luxury goods and if they use all resources to produce necessity, they can produce 500 units only
b. The economy can produce at a point inside the curve IF (1) There is underutilized of the available resources. (2) There is inefficiency in the use of resources
c. I will want to produce more necessity than luxury. The decision on which point the society will want to be depend on the type of economic system being practiced by my society, if it is free market, the price system will determine it and for a socialist system, the government decides.
d. If I am a dictator, I will make decrees as to the economic direction I want for the society and where the product distribution is left to the free market, the price system decides.
Explanation:
The production possibility frontier is a graph that shows the trade-off between two commodities which a country can be assumed to produce. An economy can operate on the PPF in which case it is using its resources to the fullest. It can operate inside the curve which means under-utilization of resources or inefficiency in resources utilization. A country cannot operate outside the curve except there is technological progress or economic growth.
Answer:
opportunity cost
Explanation:
When a firm uses retained profits to invest in more energy efficient equipment, an economist would calculate the opportunity cost of investing in physical capital.
Answer:
Unitary cost= $118
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 43,000
Direct materials $43.00 per unit
Direct manufacturing labor $8.00 per unit
Variable manufacturing costs $4.00 per unit
Fixed manufacturing costs $63.00 per unit
<u>The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable.</u> The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
Unitary cost= 43 + 8 + 4 + 63
Unitary cost= $118
Wow! If my boss is this generous, I will first thank him or her. After that, I will make a list of the office supplies I will need to be more productive at work. Note that not all supplies may be granted so don't keep your hopes up. The next thing I'll do is to have him acknowledge the list I made and thank him for giving me this opportunity.
So let us note what we have to do:
1) Thank your boss.
2) List down the office supplies you need.
3) Have your boss authorize the list and thank him or her once again.
