Answer:

12.3 hours

Explanation:

The formula that is used to calculate the average time to produce a unit:

y = aQ^b

y = Average time to produce one unit.

a = Time necessary to produce the first unit.

Q = Cumulative production in units.

b = Learning rate which is calculated using: log (percentage learning rate)/log 2.

In this case, we have to start by calculating b:

b= Log0,87/log2= -0.139/0.693= -0.200

Then, we have that a= 17 and Q=5 and replace this on the formula for the average time to produce one unit:

y= 17* 5^-0.200

y= 17*0,724= 12,3

According to this, the average labor hours required per unit to produce five units is 12.3 hours.

lozanna [386]

Answer:

a. increase price in the short run but not in the long run.

Explanation:

The firms don't use resources that are available in limited quantities. So, as firm output increases, they can use resources in higher quantity but at the same price.

Therefore, as quantity demanded increases, the firms can supply higher quantity without any increase in resource cost. So, price increase in short run but not in the long term.

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

E. Cluster

Explanation:

Cluster sampling is a type of sampling method in which the population under study is divided into different groups known as clusters before simple random samples are selected from each population clusters. The analysis of such population is carried out based on the sampled clusters.

This method is adopted when a researcher does not have access to the whole population under research.

Advantages of cluster sampling.

The research method only needs fewer resources.

The sample under review is feasible.

Note: Cluster sampling is not as accurate as simple or stratified random sampling.

Jamie is single. In 2020, she reported $108,000 of taxable income, including a long-term capital gain of $5,800. What is her gro

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:Jamie's gross tax liability is $19,572.50

Explanation:

Since Jamie is single with taxable income of $108,000 which includes $5,800 long term capital gain.

Therefore $102,200 (108,000 -5,800) will be taxed under normal tax rates and $5,800 would be under long term capital gain tax rate.

With regards the 2020 tax schedule, Since her ordinary income is $102,200, Jamie falls under 24% rate tax bracket under filing for single status.

Tax liability on ordinary income =$14,382.50 plus 24% of any income you made above $84,200

14,382.50 + 0.24 (102,200 - 84,200)

14,382.50 + 0.24 x 18000

= 14,382.50 + 4,320

= $18,702.50

Also, according to her income, longterm capital gain tax applicable in 2020 is 15%

Tax on long term capital gain = 5,800 × 0.15

= $870

Jamie's gross tax liability is $18,702.50 + 870 = $19,572.50

The Company deposits $6,900 in an account that earns interest at an annual rate of 8%, compounded quarterly. The $6,900 plus ear

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

$8750.87

Explanation:

This is compound interest problem. The formula used to solve this would be:

$F=P(1+r)^t$

Where

F is the future value (what we want, after 3 years)

P is the initial value (given 6900)

r is the rate of interest per period

here, 8% per year, so 8/4 = 2% per period (since compounded per quarter)

t is the time (3 years and compounding per year so times of compounding is 3*4 = 12), so t = 12

Substituting, we get our answer:

$F=P(1+r)^t\\F=6900(1+0.02)^{12}\\F=6900(1.02)^{12}\\F=8750.87$

<u>There will be about $8750.87 at the account at the end of 3 years!</u>
