Answer:
He hires 8 workers
Explanation:
The total cost is $1600 for 5,000 chickens minus the fixed cost of $800, which equals $800. The total cost is total of fixed cost and variable cost as in absence of production the total variable cost is zero so from this we can conclude that total fixed cost is zero.
Then divide the total variable cost ($800) buy what Ralph pays his workers ($100), which comes to 8.
Answer:
a. Accept the order
b. Increase in short-term profit of $50,000
Explanation:
<em>Note : Blowing Sand has "enough excess capacity" this means that fixed cost will be the same in the range or they will be ocurred whether or not the special order is accepted.</em>
Therefore fixed costs are Irrelevant for this decision.
<u>Incremental Costs and Revenues - accept the special order</u>
Sales ( 10,000 units × $22 each) $220,000
<em>Less</em> Variable Costs ( 10,000 units × $17each) ($170,000)
Net Income $50,000
The special order will result in an increase in short term profit of $50,000. Therefore, Blowing Sand Company should accept the order.
Answer:
C) earning an economic profit.
Explanation:
Since the market is in long run equilibrium, the demand = the supply of haircuts, and an increase in the quantity demanded will increase the equilibrium price in the short run, generating economic profits at least until more suppliers enter the market and long run equilibrium is established again. Economic profit doesn't exist when the market is at long run equilibrium.
*Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit costs. So economic profit being $0 in the long run doesn't mean the businesses are not making an accounting profit.
Answer:
r = 0.235 or 23.5%
Explanation:
Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required/expected rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.
The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
r = 0.06 + 2.5 * 0.07
r = 0.235 or 23.5%
Answer:
Social Security = $186.00
Medicare = $43.50
Explanation:
Since the given rate for Social security is 6.2%, the first week deduction is 6.2% of gross weekly salary, which is $3,000. Hence, the first week deduction for Social Security is given by
Social Security Deduction = 6.2% of $3,000
= 0.062 × 3,000 (Change 6.2% to decimal)
= $186.00
Similarly, since 1.43% is the given rate for medicare, the first week deduction is 1.43% of the gross weekly salary, which is $3,000. Thus, the first week deduction for medicare is given by
Medicare Deduction = 1.43% of $3,000
= 0.0143 × 3,000
= $43.50
