Answer:

A production combination outside of the PPF is unattainable by the economy with the given resources and technology.

This represents the Concept of scarcity in economics.

If the economy wishes to achieve the production point outside the frontier, they will have to enhance the production possibility capacity by introducing new technology or finding new resources.

A firm has fixed operating costs of $253,750, a sales price per unit of $100, and a variable cost per unit of $65. The firm's op
Talja [164]

Answer:

$725000

Explanation:

The break-even point is the point at which the firms total expenses is equal to its total revenue and it neither makes a profit nor a loss. At any point before this, the firm makes a loss and at any point after this, the firm is making a profit. This is because, it has got to a point where after the unit variable costs are covered from the revenue, there is enough to cover fixed costs as well because the firm’s fixed costs are now being spread over a greater number of units.

The break-even point is calculated as:

Fixed costs / (Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit)

Hence, in this case : $253750 / ($100 - $65) = 7250 units.

In dollars, this would be...

Revenue : 7250 x $100 = $725000

Expenses : $253750 + ($65 x 7250) = $725000

Elena L [17]

Answer:

Acclaim Inc.

                                         Basic Trophies     Deluxe Trophies

Budgeted unit cost:

a. using single-plant o/h rate   $17.60                  $28.80

b. using departmental rates    $17.42                  $29.16

c. using ABC                            $18.26                  $27.48

d. They show different costs because the overhead rates are based on different parameters.

I recommend ABC system.  It is more fair because the overhead rates are based on product line's activity usage instead of an arbitrary figure.

A customer in a coffee shop purchases a blend of two coffees: kenyan, costing $3.50 a pound, and sri lankan, costing $5.60 a pou
Rom4ik [11]
We have to make a system of equations:
x + y = 7;  where x stays for pounds of Kenyan coffee, and y stays for pounds of Sri Lankan coffee. And: 3.50 * x + 5.60 * y = 33.95 ( total cost ).
From the 1st equation: x = 7 - y. We have to substitute it into the 2nd equation:
3.50 * ( 7 - y ) + 5.60 * y = 33.95
24.50 - 3.50 y + 5.60 y = 33.95
5.60 y - 3.50 y = 33.95 - 24.50
2.10 y = 9.45
y = 9.45 : 2.10
y = 4.5 lb;  x = 7 - 4.5 = 2.5 lb.
Answer: 2.5 lb of Kenyan coffee and 4.5 lb of Sri Lankan.
