A euro equals $1.08 in American dollars.
Answer:
Cutting = $10.99 per machine hour
Finishing= $15.28 per direct labour hours.
Explanation:
The question requests the predetermined overhead rate for Cutting department and Finishing department
Step 1: What is the formula for the pre-determined overhead rate
For the Cutting Department
Predetermined Overhead rate= The total fixed manufacturing Overhead/ Total Machine Hours +Variable Manufacturing Overhead rate per machine hour.
= $390,000/$43,400) + $2
= $10.99 per machine hour
For the Finishing Department
Predetermined Overhead rate= The total fixed manufacturing Overhead/ Total Labour Hours +Variable Manufacturing Overhead rate per machine hour.
= $496,000/43,000) + $3.75
= $15.28 per direct labour hours.
Answer:
Remains constant
Explanation:
Since the same set of resources are useful in producing both cars and trucks, it shows that resources are not specialized hence Russia has a straight line PPC. A straight line (linear) PPC connotes constant returns to scale. In this case, resources are mobile and can easily be reallocated and redirected from the production of one good to another thus, opportunity cost is constant and so is the marginal rate of transformation (MRT). The MRT is the number of units or amount of a good that must be foregone in order to attain one unit of another. If Russia decides to produce more cars and fewer trucks, the resources deployed in producing more cars would be well suited as the resources already used in car production. The opportunity cost in producing each additional unit of car remains constant as more cars are produced.
The slope of a linear PPC determines the marginal rate of transformation; that is, a flatter slope would mean producing more cars requires trading-off fewer trucks while a steeper slope would mean that producing more cars requires trading-off more trucks.
I don't think interest rates should matter, try that.
Answer:
C) Yes: The one-week measures show demand is elastic, so a price increase will reduce revenues.
Explanation:
The error that the Manager did was to under-estimate the principles of elasticity of demand that posits that increase in price is inversely proprtional to demand. Perhaps, she also overrated the quality of their services without given thoughts to the presence of competition and customers’ decisions in a competitive market.
The survey carried out was a proof of the fact that price increase had an inverse effect on the demand for the services, as was shown by the rate of decline in the number of customers who enrolled in Verizon's cellular plans especially in those states where they had the best of customers’ loyalty.
