Answer:
Most of the question is missing, so I looked for a similar one and found the attached image.
CPI = (current year price × base year quantity) / (base year price × Base year quantity)
CPI for bread in current year = [($1.50 × 2,000) / ($1 × 2,000)] x 100 = 150
CPI for laptops in current year = [($1,500 × 100) / ($2,000 × 100)] x 100 = 75
CPI for movies in current year = [($7 × 50) / ($5 × 50)] x 100 = 140
CPI for current year = (CPI for bread x weight of bread) + (CPI of laptops x weight of laptops) + (CPI of movies x weight of movies) = (150 x $2,250/$227,530) + (75 x$225,000/$227,530) + (140 x $280/$227,530) = 1.48 + 74.17 + 0.17 =75.82
Answer:
Unitary cost= $62.5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. At the beginning of the year, manufacturing overhead and direct labor-hours for the year were estimated at $50,000 and 20,000 hours.
Materials costs on the job totaled $4,000 and labor costs totaled $1,500 at $5 per hour.
First, we need to determine the allocated MOH:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 50000/20000= $2.5 per direct labor hour
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base= 2.5* (1500/5)= $750
Total cost= 4000 + 1500 + 750= $6,250
Unitary cost= 6250/100= $62.5
Answer: The supply of beef would increase, decreasing beef prices.
Explanation: if there is a decrease in the price of the feed grains used to feed cattle, it would leads to an increase in the supply of beef in the market and consequently decrease the price of beef in the market. It would result to an increase in the supply of beef because the cattle rearers would have enough feeds for the cattle which will make them grow faster.
Answer:
The optimal bundle is 6 pairs of dress shoes and 3 pairs of Crocs.
Explanation:
From the question,
Allowance (M) = $450; Price of dress shoes, Pd = $50; Price of crocs, Pc = $50
Note: MRS-price ratio, MUC- marginal utility from consuming casual Crocs ,MUD- marginal utility from consuming dress shoes
Optimal bundle is determined where MRS = Price ratio
MRS = MUC/MUD = 20DC/10C2 = 2D/C
Price ratio = Pd/Pc = 50/50 = 1
So, 2D/C = 1
Therefore, C = 2D
Budget constraint: M = Pd*D + Pc*C
So, 50D + 50*(2D) = 450
50D + 100D = 150D = 450
So, D = 450/150 = 3
C = 2D = 2*3 = 6
