Answer:
Explanation:
Productivity per unput dollar=Fees charged from clients/total cost to firm
There are 3 options:
1. Using current software:
Av time=40 min
Researcher's cost=$2 a min
Total cost=40*2=80
Productivity per dollar input=Fees charged from clients/total cost to firm= 400/80=$5
2.
Using company A's software
Av time=30min
Cost of reducing av time=$3.5
Researcher's cost=$2
Total =30*2+3.5=63.50
Productivity per dollar input=400/63.5=6.3
3.
Using company B's software
Av time = 28 min
Cost of reducing av time=$3.6
Researcher's cost=$2
Total cost=28*2+3.6=59.6
Productivity per dollar input=400/59.6=$6.71
Answer - Using company B's software
Answer:
1. $550,000
Explanation:
1. It is given in the question that the stated interest rate and the market interest rate both are having the same rate, i.e, 12%.
Hence, the bonds are issued at the face value that is $550,000.
2. The Journal entries are as follows:
(i) On January 1,
Cash A/c Dr. $550,000
To bonds payable $550,000
(To record the bond issuance)
(ii) On December 31,
Interest Expense A/c Dr. $66,000
To cash A/c $66,000
(To record the first interest payment on December 31 assuming no interest has been accrued earlier in the year)
Workings:
Interest expense = $550,000 × 12%
= $66,000
Answer:
Inside the Production Possibility Frontier.
Explanation:
PPF is a curve that shows the various combination of 2 goods that an economy produces when resources are fixed. Thus, any point or bundle inside the production possibility frontier shows inefficiency in the production while the point on the production possibility frontier shows the efficient production from the available resources. But, the point outside the PPF exhibits a non-achievable point.
The reserve ratio is the portion of the money of the depositor that should be available in cash in the bank. This amount should only be in the bank and not used for all other purposes. Hence, the balance money can be used for the bank operations, increasing the supply.
In this item, we are given that the reserve ratio is only 5%. This means that, 95% of the money can be used by the bank for its operation. This amount can be calculated by multiplying the amount deposited by the decimal equivalent of 95%. That is,
= ($1000)(0.95)
= $950
Therefore, the money supply will increase by $950.
Answer:
Explanation:
The multiplier is calculated by two marginal decisions by firms and individuals. A firm can decide whether to save the revenue or to consume it, therefore there is marginal propensity to consume and marginal propensity to save as options for both firms and individuals. Therefore, the size of the multiplier which is applied to a change in AD is dependent upon size of the marginal propensity to consume and marginal propensity to save.
