Hoosier Manufacturing operates a production shop that is designed to have the lowest unit production cost at an output rate of 1

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The Capacity utilization rate is 73.94 units per hour for the month.

Explanation:

Provided data,

Output rate = 160 units per hour

In the month of July,

Total production hour = 295 hours.

Total units = 34900 units.

Ideal output units in the month of July = output rate × total production hour

= 160 × 295

= 47200 units.

Capacity utilization rate of production shop is given by,

Utilization rate = (output unit in July ÷ idea output) × 100

= (34900 ÷ 47200) × 100

= 0.7394 × 100

= 73.94 units per hour

So, the Capacity utilization rate is 73.94 units per hour for the month.

Apex Fitness Club uses straight-line depreciation for a machine costing $23,860, with an estimated four-year life and a $2,400 s

maria [59]

Answer:

1. Book value at end of year 2 = $13,130

2. Depreciation from year 3 for last 3 years = $3,710 each year, that is $11,130 for three years.

Explanation:

As for the provided details, we have:

Cost of machinery = $23,860

Expected life = 4 years

Salvage value = $2,400

Straight line depreciation = $\frac{23,860 - 2,400}{4} = 5,365$

Under straight line method depreciation remains constant for life of asset.

Book value at end of year 2 = $23,860 - ($5,365 $\times$ 2) = $13,130

Thereafter in the beginning of year 3 the estimate is made to realize that the total remaining life expected is 3 years, with salvage value $2,000

Thus, depreciation from year 3 = $\frac{13,130 - 2,000}{3} = 3,710$

Therefore, depreciation from year 3 to year 5 = $3,710 each year.

Total depreciation of last 3 years = $3,710 $\times$ 3 = $11,130

The Carter Corporation makes products A and B in a joint process from a single input, R. During a typical production run, 50,000

klemol [59]

Answer: $54,000 per production run

Explanation:

As we are dealing with the decision of whether or not to process the good further, the irrelevant cost would be the cost of producing product B from input R.

This is because this cost has already been incurred to produce product B and so is a sunk cost. Sunk costs are irrelevant to the decision to process further.

30,000 units of B were made from 90,000 units R so the cost of B is:

= 30,000 / 50,000 * 90,000

= $54,000

In a closed economy, saving and investment must be equal, but this is not the case in an open economy. In the following problem,

Leni [432]

Answer:

Y = C + I + G + NX

S = Y - C

S = I + G + NX

Explanation:

National Income Y = C + I + G + NX ; {where consumption, investment, government purchases, net exports ie exports - imports are corresponding expenditure of households, firms, government, rest of the world}

National Saving (S) is income (Y) left after paying for consumption (C) . So, S = Y - C

Using above equations, Y = C + S , Y = C + I + G + NX

C + S = C + I + G + NX

So, S = I + G + NX

When it comes to distribution what is the least expensive route when getting the product from the manufacture or farmer to the u

Nezavi [6.7K]

<h2>Direct distribution is one of the least expensive route to access customer directly</h2>

Explanation:

Direct distribution is one the method which does not involve any intermediaries.
They do not have dealers, sub-dealers, etc to reach the customer with the product.
Online shopping enables direct distribution
Since direct distribution does not involve intermediaries, it can reach customer more quickly and the cost is also less.
Whereas when the product is reached through indirect distribution, then we have to spend amount on transport to reach product to dealers, then dealers spend money to sub-dealer and so on.
