Answer:

B) people face trade offs

Explanation:

Resources are scarce, and that applies to every person and every organization in the world. Even the richest person or richest organization has a certain finite amount of money, time and other resources. For example, if we decide to work 12 hours a day, we will make more money, but we will also have less time o do other activities that we like.

In this case, Billie Jean only has $120 and she wants to buy both products, but she can only buy one. Whatever product she decides to buy will leave her with $0, so if she wants to purchase the other product she will need to find a job and earn some money, or if she already has a job, she will need to work more hours.

A small clothing firm currently produces 50,000 shirts and blouses per month. The cost of its factory, raw materials, and labor
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

b. $10

Explanation:

The computation of the cost per shirt is shown below:

= (The cost of its factory, raw materials, and labor) ÷ (production level)

= $500,000 ÷ 50,000 shirts

= $10

Since we have to compute the cost per shirt before the increase in production level so we do not consider the increased production level and increase labor and raw material expense.

Sea Side Enterprises is trying to predict the cost associated with producing its anchors. At a production level of​ 5,300 anchor
Lena [83]

Answer:

The total cost at 9000 anchor is $473400

Explanation:

To come up with the cost equation used by the manager, we need to find the variable cost per unit.

The total cost at production level of 5300 is = 5300 * 54 = $286200

Out of the total costs, $18000 are fixed.

Thus, variable costs at production of 5300 is = 286200 - 18000 = $268200

The variable cost per unit is = 268200 / 5300 = $50.60

Let x be the number of anchors produced.

The cost equation is = 18000 + 50.60x

At 9000 anchors, the total cost will be,

Total cost = 18000 + 50.60 * (9000)  = $473400

If Ana considers cake a substitute for Top Ramen noodles, and her quantity demanded for Top Ramen goes from 30 to 40 packets eve
kondaur [170]

Answer:

$0.35

Explanation:

The computation of the price elasticity of demand using mid point formula is shown below:

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of price)

So, Change in quantity demanded would be

= Q2 - Q1

= 40 - 30

= 10

Now, Average of quantity demanded

= (40 + 30) ÷ 2

= 35

Change in price

= P2 - P1

= $35 - $15

= $20

And, the average of price would be

= ($35 + $15) ÷ 2

= $25

Cross price elasticity of demand = (10 ÷ 35) ÷ ($20 ÷ $25)

= 0.28 ÷ $0.8

= $0.35

Money that has been or will be paid regardless of the decision whether to proceed with the project is:
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Sunk costs.

Explanation:

Sunk costs refers to historical funds spent or incurred that cannot be recovered. Such costs are considered irrelevant during decision making which impacts on the business's future as they present no influence on present or future prospects.

Example

ABC investors decide to acquire land and develop residential houses at a location X. This decision is informed on the fact that the government had recently enacted a policy that led to an increase in demand for residential properties in that location. 6 months into construction of the residential houses, the government reviews and rescinds the policy. This leads to a sharp decline in property values in location X. ABC investors had already incurred 10 million dollars in the project. The 10 million dollars is considered sunk cost.

Sunk costs are the opposite of relevant costs because they can't be changed or recovered, as they've been spent or contracted in the past already. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.

Hence, money that has been or will be paid regardless of the decision whether to proceed with the project is sunk costs.
