Montano1993 [528]

Answer: $3,150,000

Explanation:

Total cost of production will be the total sum of the material costs, labor costs and indirect costs.

Indirect Costs

It was estimated that 12,000 machine hours would be used at a cost of $60 million.

Indirect cost per machine hour is;

= 60,000,000/12,000

= $5,000 per hour

With 200 machine hours, indirect cost is;

= 200 * 5,000

= $1,000,000

Total cost of production = 1,250,000 + 900,000 + 1,000,000

= $3,150,000

Robert treats coffee and creamer as perfect complements and has very specific requirements for the ratio of creamer to coffee. H

diamong [38]

Answer:

a. Robert's optimal consumption bundle contains 9.18 cups of coffee and 45.88 packets of creamer.

b. Zero packets of creamer is the substitution effect.

Explanation:

a. Suppose that Robert has $39.00 to spend on coffee and creamer. His optimal consumption bundle contains _______cups of coffee and _________

The consumption ratio can be stated as follows:

5 Creamer = 1 cup of coffee

Budget line has an equation can also be given as follows:

B = (Pm * Qm) + (Pf * Qf) ...................... (1)

Where;

B = Budget = The amount Robert has to spend on coffee and creamer = $39.00

Pm = Price of creamer = $0.25

Qm = Quantity of creamer = ?

Pf = Price of coffee = $3.00

Qf = Quantity of coffee = ?

39 = (0.25 * Qm) + (3 * Qf)

39 = 0.25Qm + 3Qf

Since "5 Creamer = 1 cup of coffee". This also implies thal 1 creamer = 1 / 5 cup of coffee. Therefore, we have;

39 = 0.25Qm + (3 * 1/5 * Qm)

39 = 0.25Qm + (3/5)Qm

39 = 0.25Qm + 0.60Qm

39 = 0.85Qm

Qm = 39 / 0.85

Qm = 45.88

Qf = 45 / 5 = 9.18

Therefore, Robert's optimal consumption bundle contains 9.18 cups of coffee and 45.88 packets of creamer.

b. Now, suppose that the price of creamer rises to $0.50 per packet. What is the substitution effect of this price change?

Since Robert treats coffee and creamer as perfect complements, this implies that there there is nothing like substitution effect under this condition.

Therefore, zero packets of creamer is the substitution effect.
