Answer:
A) The GAAP statement is based on cost function rather than cost behavior.
Explanation:
Income statements that follow GAAP rules categorizes expenses based on their business function: product, selling or administrative.
While cost behavior categorizes costs based on how they influence a company's activities: variable, fixed and mixed. When a manager wants to measure the impact of any decision he/she makes, they need to use this type of categorization. For example, if fixed costs increase, what is the new break even point? If variable costs decrease, how is the marginal cost affected?

Answer:
a. Maturing of a product
When the product reaches its maturity stage, its sales volume reduces considerably. This would require different marketing strategies like product enhancement, price changing or developing new designs, etc.
b. Technology innovation in the manufacturing process
This will cause many changes in the strategy as technological innovation would reduce manual labor cost. Also, the organization would need skilled employees to deal with the new technology.
- Cost cutting is instituted.
- Product changes decrease.
- Design compromises are instituted.
- Labor Skills decrease
- Optimum capacity may be achieved
- Manufacturing process stabilizes
Answer:
0.25
Explanation:
The marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) can be described as the rate of a reduction is one factor to maintain the same production level when another factor is increased.
Given that labor is measured on the horizontal axis, the MRST of K for L can be calculated as follows:
Where;
MPK = Marginal product of capital = 2
MPL = Marginal product of labor = 8
Substituting the values into the equation, we have:
This implies that 0.25 of capital must be given up to have one unit of labor.
