When marx argued that capitalism “reproduces the class structure,” he meant that?

1 answer:

6 0

If you are rich, you own the means to make more money. Your son will then take over from you, and the class structure will remain intact. Likewise, if you are poor, you can only afford to work in a factory, you cannot pay for a good education for your child, they'll end up working in a factory to survive. The class structure remains the same, each generation of rich people will exploit every generation of poor people. That was also why Marx thought the workers must unite and take control of the means of production, so that they would not be exploited.

Suppose that market demand is Q = 660 – 12P and marginal cost is MC = 5. The consumer surplus in a perfectly competitive market

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: 15000; 3750

Explanation:

From the question,

Q = 660 – 12P

MC = 5

The consumer surplus in a perfectly competitive market will be:

P = MC

Therefore, P = 5

Q = 660 - 12P = 660 - 12(5) = 660 - 60 = 600

Consumer surplus = 1/2 × (55 - 5) (600)

= 1/2 × 50 × 600

= 15,000

For monopoly, MR = MC

Total Revenue = P × Q

Since Q= 660 - 12P

P = (660 - Q)/12

TR = P × Q

= (660 - Q)/12 × Q

= (660Q- Q²)/12 × Q

MR = (660 - 2Q)/12

MR = MC

(660 - 2Q)/12 = 5

(660 - 2Q) = 5 × 12

660 - 2Q = 60

2Q = 660 - 60

2Q = 600

Q = 600/2

Q= 300

Since P =(660 - Q)/12

= (660 - 300)/12

= 360/12

= 30

Consumer surplus = 1/2 × (55 - 30) (30)

= 1/2 × 25 × 300

= 3750

Therefore, the answer is 15000; 3750

Ashton Construction assembles residential houses. It uses a job-costing system with two direct-cost categories (direct materi

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

In December 2016, Ashton budgeted 2017 assembly-support costs to be $8,300,000 and 2017 direct labor-hours to be 166,000.

With this information, we can calculate the budgeted indirect cost rate. <u>However, we can't calculate the actual indirect cost rate. I will provide the formula for both and a small example of the actual indirect cost rate.</u>

To calculate the budgeted indirect cost rate, we need to use the following formula:

Budgeted indirect cost rate= total estimated indirect costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Budgeted indirect cost rate= 8,300,000/166,000= $50 per direct labor hour.

Let's suppose that actual indirect cost was of 8,000,000 and actual direct labor hours of 175,000:

Actual indirect cost rate= total actual indirect costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Actual indirect cost rate= 8,000,000/175,000= $45.71 per direct labor hour
