Answer:
The answer is: A) Mary Jane has a comparative advantage in law so she should specialize in law and hire a carpenter to make her cabinets.
Explanation:
Mary Jane has a comparative advantage by working as a lawyer over working as a carpenter. As a lawyer she can earn $150 an hour.
Considering that Mary Jane is 3 times as fast as a good carpenter, her work as a carpenter could be valued as the combined work of three carpenters. But even three carpenters earn less than a lawyer; $60 an hour ($20 an hour per carpenter times 3 carpenters).
So Mary Jane definitely should work as a lawyer and hire a carpenter or even three carpenters to build her cabinets.

Answer:
Fixed costs= 1,100,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
During its most recent fiscal year, Dover, Inc. had total sales of $3,200,000. Contribution margin amounted to $1,500,000 and pretax income was $400,000.
We need to reverse engineer the income statement to determine the total fixed costs. We know that the pretax income is the difference between the total contribution margin and the fixed costs.
Pretax= total contribution margin - fixed costs
400,000= 1,500,000 - FC
Fixed costs= 1,500,000 - 400,000
Fixed costs= 1,100,000
Answer:
5,409 books
Explanation:
to calculate break even point in units we can use the following formula:
break even point in units = total fixed costs / contribution margin per unit
- total fixed costs = $53,000
- contribution margin per unit = sales price - variable costs = $12 - $2.20 = $9.80
break even point in units = $53,000 / $9,80 = 5,408.16 ≈ 5,409 books
in $, that would equal = 5,409 books x $12 per book = $64,908
Answer:
B. Fewer workers will be needed.
Explanation:
Elastic demand refers to a flexible demand. It is a demand that can increases or decreases due to several factors. If demand is not elastic, it implies it is constant. An increase or decrease in output or price will not affect the quantity demanded.
An increase in productivity means an increase in output per worker. It is the increase in the number of units produced, per hour, per worker. An increase in productivity results in more output in a given period than previously.
If the demand is constant and there is an increase in productivity, only a few workers will be required. The output from the few workers will be high to meet the constant demand.
