Answer: Option A : Decreasing returns to scale because the inputs exhibit diminishing marginal returns.

Explanation:

Return to scale measures the degree of effect certain changes in the input factors(parameters) has on the output in the long run.

Also in simple words, Marginal returns in Economics describes a situation where the increasing the input or intake of a commodity leads to decrease in satisfaction (output).

Hence, for a system that it's input exhibits marginal returns, increasing the input(e.g Capital, Land) leads to decrease in output (satisfaction; Marginal returns parlance) thereby DECREASING the RETURN TO SCALE.

Equipment with an original cost of $75,000 and accumulated depreciation of $20,000 was sold at a loss of $7,000. As a result of
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

O increase by $48,000

Explanation:

A loss is made on disposal of an asset when the amount received from the disposal is lower than the carrying amount of the asset. The carrying amount or net book value of an asset is the difference between the cost of the asset and its accumulated depreciation.

Hence

Carrying amount = $75,000 - $20,000

= $55,000

Let the amount received on disposal be K

K - $55,000 = -$7,000

K = $55,000 - $7,000

= $48,000

This is the amount received from the disposal and it represents an increase in cash.

On January 1, 2021, American Corporation purchased 25% of the outstanding voting shares of Short Supplies common stock for $210,
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

"$224,000" is the correct solution.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Corporation purchased percentage,

= 25%

Original investment,

= $210,000

Short's net income,

= $80,000

Paid cash dividend,

= $24,000

Now,

The share of net income will be:

= 25 \ percent\times 80,000

= 0.25\times 80000

= 20,000 ($)

The cash dividend will be:

= 25 \ percent\times 24,000

= 0.25\times 24,000

= 6,000 ($)

hence,

On December 31, 2021, the balance will be:

= Original \ investment+Net \ income \ share+Cash \ dividend

= 210,000+20,000+6,000

= 230,000-6,000

= 224,000 ($)

Pauline Found​ Manufacturing, Inc., is moving to kanbans to support its telephone​ switching-board assembly lines. Determine the
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Kanban container size = 73

Number of kanbans needed = 5

Explanation:

Kanban container size (Q):

Q = SQRT [(2 x D x S) / H x (1 - d/p)]

where,

D = Annual demand  

S = Setup cost

H = Holding cost

d = Daily usage

p = Daily production

Putting the given values in the above formula,

CONTAINER SIZE = SQRT ((2 * ANNUAL DEMAND * SETUP COST) / (HOLDING COST * (1 - (DAILY USAGE / DAILY PRODUCTION))))

Q = SQRT [(2 x 4,000 x $30) / $125 x (1 - 16/25)]

Kanbans container size = 73 units  (Rounding off to the nearest whole number)

NUMBER OF KANBANS = DEMAND DURING LEAD TIME + SAFETY STOCK / SIZE OF CONTAINER

K = ((16 * 16) + (4 * 25) / 73 = 5
