You just purchased an existing business that produces solar panels according to the following production function:
frez [133]

Answer:

<u>$50</u>

<u>Explanation</u>:

In the production function, Q = K0.5L0.5,

K denotes the fixed input in the short run.

First, we calculate the total cost:

Cost of Capital= 25 x $1 = $25

Cost of Labor (for a start 25 workers are used)= 25 x $1 = $25

Total= $50

Since the price of the solar panels is $100, substrating from the total cost $50 (100-50) we get $50 profit per unit of solar panel.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

accounts payable 128,500

Explanation:

To answer we must determine how much is the amount of purchases needed for the month of June.

It is not interesting the debt that is generated in previous months since they are paid in full, so in May the purchases of the month of May will already be canceled, so they will not impact the suppliers account.

June  

Purchases=  190,000 x 0.85 + (inventory cost of sales of the month) + 80,000 (inventory at the end of the month)  + 260,000 x 10% (inventory at the end of the month) = 276,500,

But according to the company's policy at the beginning of the month the inventory was equal to

80,000 + 190,000x10% (June sales) = 99,000

So the purchases necessary to meet the costs of sale and comply with the policy of the owner at closing is the same

267.500(inventory needed) - 99.000( initial existence) = 168.500

<u>the record will be </u>

Inventory      168,500

Cash                           43,810

accounts paylable    124,690
