Considering that labor is the only variable input and an
additional input increases from 72 to 80 units with the product costs of $6 per
unit in a purely competitive market, then the mrp of the additional worker is
$48.
Solution: (80 x $6) – (72 x $6) = $48
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": shortage costs increase as total carrying costs increase.
Explanation:
A shortage takes place when the quantity demanded is higher than the supply at the current price. Typically, shortages occur because of an increase in demand, a decrease in supply or due to government policies. Shortage costs are those costs a firm is responsible for because the is no enough stock in its inventory. When shortage costs increase, the carrying costs do not necessarily increase.
Answer:
The assembly line efficiency is 4.17% (to 2 decimal places)
Explanation:
Efficiency is a measure of productivity that is used to determine how well a target is achieved, by finding the ratio of the actual output to the expected output. In this example, the number of units is the output of the assembly line, and the assembly line efficiency is calculated as follows:
Assembly line efficiency = (actual output) /(required output) × 100
actual output = 25 minutes
if 5 minutes = 1 unit
∴ 25 minutes = 1/5 × 25 = 5 units
∴ actual output = 5 units
required output = 120 units
∴ efficiency = 
= 4.17%
Answer: A.There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean price of a single-family home has increased from its level two years ago of $299,500
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that according to the Federal Housing Finance Board, the mean price of a single-family home two years ago was $299,500 and that a real estate broker believes that due to recent credit crunch, the mean price has increased since then and the result is that the null hypothesis is not rejected.
The conclusion based on the results of the test is that since the null hypothesis has been rejected, it simply means that there are sufficient evidence that there has been an increase in the mean price since two years ago.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
Answer:
Since the actual performance of the separate account is actually higher than the assumed interest by 1 %, this means that K will be paid 1% more on the value of his/her annuity account.
Explanation:
An annuity account is a policy holder's investment account where the insurance company invests on behalf of the annuitant. The insurance company determine an assumed interest rate that will cover for the insurance company costs and the profit margin that will be paid to the annuitant periodically.
Annuity interest help investors plan for retirement income since the annuitant knows how much they expect to receive upon maturity of the policy. Knowing how to calculate the value of an annuity can also help investors to consider other investment options.
An assumed interest rate that is determined by the insurance company. This is the value of the annuity account and the annuitant should not be paid below the value of this rate. The actual interest rate is the actual performance of the investment in the market. If this rate increases, then the value of payment to be made to the annuitant also increases.
In our case, the actual performance of the separate account is actually higher than the assumed interest by 1 % this means that K will be paid 1% more on the value of his/her annuity account.
