Answer:

a. a decrease in the marginal productivity of her remaining capital and an increase in the marginal productivity of her labor.

Explanation:

Diminishing returns In economics is the decrease in the marginal (incremental) output of a production process as the amount of a single factor of production is incrementally increased, while the amounts of all other factors of production stay constant.

Due to the fire outbreak, the owner will continuously try to increase her manual effort (labor) into the business, which at a point will overwhelm her remaining capital, leading to the decrease in the marginal productivity of what's left of her capital.

Suppose the United States can produce either 90 apples and 20 oranges or 80 apples and 30 oranges. What is the opportunity cost
Tju [1.3M]

Answer: The opportunity cost of producing 1 apple will be 1 orange.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is defined as the loss or cost of another alternative when another alternative is being chosen by an economic agent.

In this scenario, the opportunity cost of producing every additional apple will be 1 orange due to the fact that as there's an increase in the production of apple from 80 to 90, there'll be a reduction in the production of orange from 30 to 20.

This indicates that for the increase of 10 apples, there's a reduction of 10 oranges which implies that an increase of 1 apple brings about a reduction by 1 orange.

During the current year, Elk Company incurred the following direct labor costs: January $40,000 and February $60,000. Elk uses a
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

January Overheads are <u>under-applied</u> by $2,000.

Explanation:

When,

Actual overheads > Applied overheads we say overheads are under-applied.

Actual overheads < Applied overheads we say overheads are over-applied.

Where,

Applied overheads = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual Activity

Therefore,

Applied overheads (January) = 120% × $40,000

                                                = $48,000

Actual overheads (January) = $50,000.

Conclusion

It can be seen that from the above : Actual overheads : $50,000 > Applied overhead : $48,000, therefore overheads were under-applied.

Amount of under-applied overheads = $50,000 - $48,000

                                                             = $2,000
