Answer:

a. a smaller increase in the marginal product of labor. 

Explanation:

The law of diminishing returns to physical capital states that as more and more input are added to fixed factors of production, output increases at a decreasing rate.

For there to be output growth, physical capital should be increased less than human capital and technological progress.

How does the economy work?
xenn [34]
Your question is too broad. It took me two 48-hour courses to learn the basics of how the economy operates.

While it is interesting and I do not wish to discourage your curiosity, please make the question more specific.

For now, all I can say is that the primary function of an economy is integrating the 4 factors of production - Land, Labor, Enterprise and Capital - to produce goods profitably. This is made possible through the interactions between the consumers (also the labor), private firms, financial sector and the government sector. I would suggest watching a video on the circular flow on income on YouTube for more information on these interactions.

Furthermore, economics is concerned with solving the basic economic problem, which is the existence of unlimited wants in relation to the limited resources available on our planet. This leads us making choices (which wants to satisfy through production and consumption) and making sacrifices (which wants to give up as there only a limited amount of resources available). Economics in general deals with attempting to get the most out of the resources available. It deals with anticipating consumer behavior, trends and using this analyzed information to make decisions.

The last thing you should know is that economics is most broadly categorized into two field - Macroeconomics and Microeconomics.

Microeconomics deals with the interaction between individuals, i.e., individuals firms/industries, consumers. This deals with such things as factors affecting the demand of goods, the concept of elasticity, factor affecting supply of goods, the marginal utility theory and so forth.

Macroeconomics deals with the economy as a whole - this includes concepts such as national income (GDP), aggregate demand and supply, the multiplier effect, the factors affecting consumption, investment,government expenditure and net exports, the exchange rate systems and Balance of Payments.

P.S. In the above answer, I have only briefly mentioned the basics. If you would like further understanding of the basics then please YouTube/Google each economics term listed above.

Edwards Manufacturing Company purchases two component parts from three different suppliers. The suppliers have limited capacity,
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Purchase 1,500 units of component 1 from supplier 1.

Purchase 2,000 units of component 2 from supplier 3.

Purchase 500 units of component 1 and 1,000 units of component 2 from supplier 2.

Total costs = $54,500

Explanation:

                                       component 1                      component 2

supplier                   1              2             3              1              2             3  

price                       $10        $15          $14           $13        $12          $10

capacity:

supplier 1 = 1,500

supplier 2 = 2,500

supplier 3 = 2,000  

demand:                            

  • component 1 = 2,000
  • component 2 = 3,000

There are two ways to solve this, one using excel and the solver function or do it manually.

Manually, we must start with the supplier that has the lowest cost. In this case, the supplier with the lowest cost for component 1 is supplier 1 ($10) and component 2 is supplier 3 ($10).

We will start by purchasing 1,500 units of component 1 from supplier 1 at $15,000. That eliminates supplier 1's capacity, so we now only have suppliers 2 and 3. We still need 500 units of component 1 and 3,000 units of component 2.

We purchase 2,000 units of component 2 from supplier 3 at $20,000. This will consume all of supplier 3's capacity, so we only have supplier 2 left. We are still needing 500 units of component 1 and 1,000 units of component 2.

We will purchase the remaining units from supplier 3 at (500 x $15) + ($1,000 x $12) = $19,500.

Our total expense will be $54,500.

Here is the income statement for Skysong, Inc. SKYSONG, INC. Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31, 2022 Sales revenue
jok3333 [9.3K]

Missing information:

(a) Earnings per share s (b) Price-earnings ratio (c) Payout ratio times (d) Times interest earned times

Answer:

a) Earnings per share = $2.64

(b) Price-earnings ratio = 5.3

(c) Payout ratio times (you can calculate 3 payout ratios, the third type which is cash dividend payout ratio cannot be calculated because there is not enough information):

  • total payout ratio = 26.44%
  • common stockholders' payout ratio = 22.03%

(d) Times interest earned times = 7.77

Explanation:

earnings per share (EPS) = (net income - preferred stock dividends) / average outstanding common shares

  • net income = $86,600
  • preferred dividends = $4,900
  • average outstanding common stocks = (24,700 + 37,100) / 2 = 30,900

EPS = ($86,600 - $4,900) / 30,900 = $2.64

price earnings ratio = market price per share / earnings per share = $14 / $2.64 = 5.3

2 ways to calculate payout ratio times:

  • total dividends / net Income = $22,900 / $86,600 = 26.44%
  • or common stockholders payout ratio = ($22,900 - $4,900) / ($86,600 - $4,900) = $18,000 / $81,700 = 22.03%

times interest earned = EBIT / interest expense

EBIT = net income + interest expense + income taxes = $86,600 + $16,700 + $26,400 = $129,700

times interest earned = $129,700 / $16,700 = 7.77
