A farmer is producing where MC = MR. Say that half of the cost of producing wheat is the rental cost of land (a fixed cost) and

half is the cost of labor and machines (a variable cost). If the average total cost of producing wheat is $26 and the price of wheat is $10, what would you advise the farmer to do? ("Grow something else" is not allowed.)

Answer:

If the price of wheat does not rise in the long run, the farmer should stop the production of wheat.

Explanation:

given data

MC = MR.

average total cost of producing wheat = $26

price of wheat = $10

solution

As long as the cost of a bushel of wheat ($ 6) exceeds the variable production cost of a bushel of wheat ($ 4), the farmer should continue to produce wheat. He loses $ 2 per bushel, but loses $ 4 if he stops producing wheat.

If the price of wheat does not rise in the long run, the farmer should stop the production of wheat.

Jose goes to an all-you-can-eat buffet at a Chinese restaurant and consumes three plates of food. He does not go back for a four
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The marginal utility of the fourth plate is zero or below zero

Explanation:

The reason is that the law of diminishing marginal utility says that the marginal utility of a product declines upon continuous consumption of that item. This means that the utility before the consumption of first buffet was high and when the second buffet was consumed by the same person the utility was further reduced and so on. This means that the utility must be positive which if is higher enough then the customer is will to pay and eat the buffet again. If it is zero or below zero the customer is not willing to pay for the buffet. This is the reason the person doesn't ordered the item again.

You can not eat the same buffet for all the 365 days. This means the taste of a tasty food fades away after some time or I would say that the utility is gone. Same is the case when you will keep using cellphone for a period and then sell it or dispose it because the item doesn't entertains you or in other words the utility has significantly fallen and is almost zero or below zero.

The annual demand for a product is 15,300 units. The weekly demand is 294 units with a standard deviation of 90 units. The cost
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Reorder point = (weekly demand * lead time) + (Z * standard deviation * √lead time) = (294 * 10) + (2.326 * 90 * √10) = 2,940 + 661.99 = 3,602 units

Old safety stock = Z * standard deviation * √lead time = 662 units

new safety stock = 331

331 = Z * 90 * √10

Z = 331 / 284.60 = 1.163

Amounts withheld from each employee for social security and medicare vary by state.
satela [25.4K]

It is False.

No matter which states the employee lives, the amounts withheld from each employee for social security and medicare do not vary by state. The present tax rate for social security for employers and employees is 6.2% and the present current rate of medicare is 1.45% for both the employer and employee.

Employers are typically required to withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes from an employee's paycheck and pay the employer's share of those taxes.

The Social Security Tax and the Medicare Tax have different rates, and only the Social Security tax has a salary cap. The base salary ceiling is the maximum taxable salary in the year. Determine the withholding amount for Social Security and Medicare contributions by multiplying each payment by the employee's tax rate.
