Answer:

b. an outward shift of the production possibilities curve along both axes

Explanation:

As we know that outward shift refers to the growth.

Baby boomers is a term used for the human generation born between 1946 and 1964 after the end of world war 2 when the birth rate across the world was narrowed and thereafter the emerging births of new infants were known as Baby Boom.

The main reasons of this outward shift were:

People started new families to cover the life gap of the loved ones they lost during the world war
People hoped that coming era will be of peace and business growth which they actually saw thereafter
People hoped to see the economic growth in upcoming years leading them towards business expansions and production growths as well

Refer to the following selected financial information from Shakley's Incorporated. Compute the company's return on total assets

hammer [34]

Answer:

15.2%

Explanation:

Return on Total Asset is the ratio of net income ratio to total asset of the company. It measure the productivity and efficiency of all the assets used to generate this net income.

As per given Data

Year 2 Year 1

Net sales $478,500 $426,250

Cost of goods sold $276,300 $250,120

Interest expense $9,700 $10,700

Net income before tax $67,250 $52,680

Net income after tax $46,050 $39,900

Total assets $317,100 $288,000

Total liabilities $181,400 $167,300

Total equity $135,700 $120,700

Formula for Return on total assets

Return on Total Assets = ( Net income / Average total assets ) x 100

Now we need to calculate the average Assets

Average Assets = ($317,100 + $288,000) / 2 = $302,550

Net Income for year 2 = $46,050

Placing values in the formula

Return on Total Assets = ( $46,050 / $302,550 ) x 100

Return on Total Assets = 15.2%

Mrs. Hanson has 2 pies for a party. She calculates that if she splits the pies evenly among the guests, they will each receive

LiRa [457]

Answer:

16 guests

Explanation:

If each guest is getting 1/8 of a pie, it means one pie is being divided into eight parts. One part is 1/8. One pie will be served to eight guests.

Two pies will be sufficient for 2x 8 = 16 guests.

Let $S$ be the set of complex numbers of the form $a + bi,$ where $a$ and $b$ are integers. We say that $z \in S$ is a unit if t

lakkis [162]

Answer:

Number of units possible in S are 4.

Explanation:

Given <em>S</em> is a set of complex number of the form $a+bi$ where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are integers.

$z\in S$ is a unit if $w\in z$ exists such that $zw=1$ .

To find:

Number of units possible = ?

Solution:

Given that:

$zw = 1$

Taking modulus both sides:

$|zw| = |1|$

Using the property that modulus of product of two complex numbers is equal to their individual modulus multiplied.

i.e.

$|z_1z_2|=|z_1|.|z_2|$

So,

$|zw| = |1|\\\Rightarrow |zw| =|z|.|w| =1\\\Rightarrow |z|=\dfrac{1}{|w|}$ ......... (1)

Let $z=a+bi$

Then modulus of z is $|z| = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}$

Given that a and b are <em>integers</em>, so the equation (1) can be true only when $|z| = |w| =1$ (Reciprocal of 1 is 1). Modulus can be equal only when one of the following is satisfied:

(a = 1, b = 0) , (a = -1, b = 0), (a = 0, b = 1) OR (a = 0, b = -1)

So, the possible complex numbers can be:

$1.\ 1 + 0i = 1\\2.\ -1 + 0i = -1\\3.\ 0+ 1i = i\\4.\ 0 -1i = -i$

Hence, number of units possible in S are 4.

The calculation of a revised break-even point in units for the firm as a whole, using the weighted-average contribution margin approach is 1,155,556 units.

<h3>What is the weighted-average contribution margin?</h3>

The weighted-average contribution margin shows the average amount that a group of products or services contribute to meet the fixed costs.

The weighted-average contribution margin can be computed as Aggregate sales - Aggregate variable expenses) ÷ Number of units sold.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Aggregate sales revenue = $1,800,000

Aggregate variable costs = $1,125,000

Aggregate contribution margin = $675,000 ($1,800,000 - $1,125,000)

Total units sold = 1,500,000

Total fixed costs = $520,000

Weighted average contribution margin = $0.45 ($675,000/1,500,000)

Break-even point in units = 1,155,556 units ($520,000/$0.45)

Thus, the calculation of a revised break-even point in units for the firm as a whole, using the weighted-average contribution margin approach is 1,155,556 units.
