Answer:
- ,000 new apartments will make the equilibrium price = $1,500
- 10,000 new apartments will make the equilibrium price = $1,000
- 15,000 new apartments will make the equilibrium price = $500
Explanation:
<u>Rent</u> <u>Demand</u> <u>Supply</u>
2,500.00 10000 15000
2,000.00 12500 12500
1,500.00 15000 10000
1,000.00 17500 7500
500.00 20000 5000
The equilibrium quantity is 12,500 apartments with a $2,000 rent per month. If the government wants to lower the equilibrium rent price by increasing the supply of apartments, then it must build:
- 5,000 new apartments will make the equilibrium price = $1,500
- 10,000 new apartments will make the equilibrium price = $1,000
- 15,000 new apartments will make the equilibrium price = $500
Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $15 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Overhead is allocated to each job based on the number of direct labor hours spent on that job.
The estimated overhead= $61,500.
Estimated direct labor hours= 4,100
To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 61,500/4,100= $15 per direct tlabor hour
Answer:
E) It would not necessarily be considered high elsewhere.
Explanation:
The US inflation rate during 1979 was 11.26%, during 1980 it was 13.55%, and during 1981 it was 10.33%. These numbers may seem very high for American standards, but they aren't really high once you compare them to other nation's inflation rate.
For example, if we look at what is happening in two South American countries right now; Currently Venezuela is facing a hyperinflation measured by millions, and Argentina's current inflation rate is around 60%.
Back in the 1980s, hyperinflation rates were much more common. Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Nicaragua, all suffered from hyperinflation (inflation rates in the 1,000s).
The US dollar is considered a very stable currency, that is why an inflation rate of around 10% was considered extremely high for American standards, but not so high compared to the rest of the world.
