To answer this item, we let x be the current number of chairs. After adding 50 chairs to the current inventory, the total number of chairs would then be equal to x + 50. The equation that would allow us to determine the value of x is written below.

     x + 50 = (3/2)(x)

Simplifying the equation,
   x + 50 = 3x/2
  x - 3x/2 = -50
   -x/2 = -50

Dividing both sides of the equation by -1/2, the value of x is equal to 100. 

To increase the inventory by 40%, the equation would be,
    y = x(1.4) = 1.4(100) = 140

<em>ANSWER: 140 chairs</em>

Assume that both labor and capital exhibit diminishing returns. Suppose you can hire an additional unit of labor for $10, and sh
anygoal [31]

Answer:

b) Nothing, because you are already minimizing cost

Explanation:

cost of producing one additional unit by hiring more workers = $10 / 50 units = $0.20 per unit

cost of producing one additional unit by buying the machine = $200 / 1,000 units = $0.20 per unit

Since labor exhibits a diminishing return, the next unit of labor will produce less than 50 units. This means that if you want to increase production, you should buy the machine.

Using the same logic, the previous units of labor were able to produce more than 50 units, which means that the average total cost was lower using labor than the machine. So if the company's concern is to minimize costs, then they are already doing so.

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Fixed costs= 510

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Month Maintenance Expense Machine Hours

1 $ 3,480 2,380

2 3,670 2,480

3 3,850 2,580

4 3,980 2,610

5 3,980 2,460

6 4,400 2,620

7 3,970 2,600

8 3,780 2,570

9 3,500 2,390

10 3,120 2,260

11 2,960 1,650

12 3,240 2,250

To calculate the fixed costs, we need to use the following formulas:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (4,400 - 2,960) / (2,620 - 1,650)

Variable cost per unit= $1.484536

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 4,400 - (1.484536*2,620)

Fixed costs= $510

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 2,960 - (1.484536*1,650)

Fixed costs= 510
