Answer:

B. Consumer Price Index​ (CPI)

Inflation over the period 2008-2009: 5.85%

Explanation:

The CPI metric is a weighted average price of the goods and services which are consumed by a typical family. It is calcualte on a monthly basis and it is used to calcualte the inflation rate:

\delta = \frac{CPI_1}{CPI_0} - 1

In this case:

\delta = \frac{199}{188} - 1

199/188 - 1 = 0,058510638 = 5.85%

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

$23,520

Explanation:

The computation of book value of the machine is shown below:-

Machine cost                           $28,000

Less: Depreciation                    $4,200

($28,000 - $2,800) ÷ 6

Book Value at beginning

of Year 2                                    $23,800

Add: Improvements                   $7,000

Total                                             $54,600

Less: Accumulated

Depreciation for 3 years            $31,080

($54,600 - $2,800) × 3 ÷ 5 years

Book Value Dec 31, Year 4         $23,520

Explain why to maximize profits a firm needs to produce an output at a level where marginal revenue
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Rest of question:

... equals marginal cost.

Firms will maximize profits at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost because producing after this point means that no profits will be made.

As long as the Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, there will be profits made because the company is making more than it is spending so they should keep producing. When it gets to a point in production where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the company should not produce further than that.

This is because, as earlier mentioned, any further production would result in the marginal cost being larger than the marginal revenue which means that a loss will be made. The company should therefore stop at the point where MR = MC so as not to let MC get larger than MR so that no losses will be made.

It will accept any time the price is above $43 with the condition it will not incur in additional fixed cost.

$63. is the sales price that generates 106,000 dollar of operating income

Explanation:

As the units will not inccur in any additional fixed cost we should check for the contribution margin this units will provide:

50 dollars - 43 dollar of variable cost = 7 dollars

5,300 saws x $7 = 37,100

The sales reveues will increase by that amount.

(5,300 x $43 dollars each in cost + 106,000 contribution )/5,300 = sales price

sales price = 63
