Answer:
I. If labor and capital are perfect substitutes in production, the isoquant is a straight, downward-sloping line.
II. If a company needs to use inputs in fixed proportion such that the capital to labor ratio is always 2, the firm's isoquants are L-shaped.
Explanation:
Perfectly substittuable goods have straight downward sloping ICs, and have corner solutions
.
Complementary goods (used in fixed proportions) are L shaped always
, In case of min(x,y) function, the answer is the value of x or y which ever is minimum and not their sum.
Therefore, Only statements I and II are true.
Answer:
weighted cost of capital for next year is 10.27 %.
Explanation:
Weighted cost of capital = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (D/V)
Ke = Cost of Equity
= Dividend Yield + Expected growth rate
= $1.30 / $30.00 + 0.07
= 0.11333 or 11.33 %
Kd = Cost of Debt
= Interest × (1 - tax rate)
= 11% × ( 1 - 0.21)
= 8.69 %
Weighted cost of capital = 11.33 % × 60% + 8.69 % × 40%
= 10.27 %
Answer:
Depreciation expense = $4,400
Accumulated depreciation = $13,200
Explanation:
Depreciation: The depreciation is the amount which decreases the value of the asset. It can be by obsolescence, usage, tear and wear, etc.
The annual depreciation is given i.e. $4,400 which will be charged in depreciation expense whereas the accumulated depreciation would be equal to
= Annual Depreciation × useful life
= $4,400 × 3
= $13,200
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
Adjusting entries are the entries that are passed at the end of the year. They are passed to adjust the account so as to make them follow the matching principle.
In the calculation attached, it should be noted that the salary expenses was calculated as the amount earned per day by the number of days. This is:
= $800 × 5
= $4000.

Answer:
A). to track monthly changes in prices paid by urban consumers.
Explanation:
CPI(Consumer Price Index) is characterized as 'a statistical estimate of the price level of goods and services bought by consumers for consumption purposes by the households.' It primarily aims to estimate the change or swap in the prices of the weighted average price of the common basket(consumption goods, as well as, services that the consumers pay for). It is calculated using the formula;
where,
= current Consumer Price Index
= Current price basket
= Cost of price basket in the base year
It assists in deducing whether the average prices have received a fall or rise and determines inflation or deflation. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
