Answer:
The correct option which would not be an expected response from decrease in price level is A) with fall in prices, Fargo concrete company has decided to let go workers who have fixed price contracts.
Explanation:
All the options except A are expected response from the fall in price and helps in explaining why the aggregate demand curve shifted ( towards the right ) . In the option B , Tyler decided to remodel his kitchen because of fall in prices, as now he is able to spend more on consumption and investment activities. Same thing is happening in option C and D as the company's here are increasing their investment spending due to the decreased prices.
But the option A , isn't something that was expected as company's don't usually fire their workers just because they have fixed price wage contract and prices have fallen, company is trying to take advantage of fallen prices by reducing the fixed wage workers and hiring new workers on a cheap wage , which help in reducing the company's cost.
Answer: Option A : by themselves do not tell us what decisions the firm will make.
Explanation: Using the cost curve to make decisions is the function of the firm's internal decision mechanism
Answer: Increase of $20,000
Explanation:
The cost of making a unit is:
= Direct material + Direct labor + Variable overhead + Fixed overhead
= 10 + 14 + 5 + 3
= $32
For 4,000 units that would be:
= 4,000 * 32
= $128,000
Cost of buying 4,000 units :
= Cost of buying + Fixed cost
= (4,000 * 30) + (3 / 2 * 4,000)
= $126,000
This cost is further reduced by the renting of the unused space:
= 126,000 - 18,000
= $108,000
Impact on profit:
= Cost of making - Cost of buying
= 128,000 - 108,000
= $20,000
Increase of $20,000
