madreJ [45]

Answer:

<u>Increases,.. higher... more.. low.. lower</u>

Explanation:

This monetary policy acts as economic stimulant by increasing the supply of money in the economy, with increased supply come an increase in the economy's demand for goods and services, leading to higher product prices.

Also, In the short run, this <em>positive change</em> in prices induces firms to produce more goods and services.

This, in turn, leads to<u> a low level of unemployment because companies increase their demand for more labour to meet their demand.</u>

In other words, the economy faces a trade-off between inflation and unemployment: Higher inflation leads to lower unemployment.

True or False: Without engaging in international trade, Freedonia and Lamponia would have been able to consume at the after-trad

solniwko [45]

"Without engaging in international trade, Freedonia and Lamponia would have been able to consume at the after-trade consumption bundles" is FALSE.

<u>Option:</u> B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Specialization refers to countries' propensity to focus in certain items they exchange for other commodities, rather than to manufacture all the consumer goods on their own. As the PPF production possibilities frontier displays that production is impractical, Freedonia and Lamponia had to engage in international trade.

Both countries are able to consume the goods they produce.When a country is skilled in manufacturing a good, it can manufacture this good at a lower cost of opportunity than its trading nation. For this comparative advantage, both countries benefit from competing and trading with one another.

Each machine must be run by one of 19 cross-trained workers who are each available 35 hours per week. The plant has 10 type 1 ma

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The Linear programming model is given as below

Profit Function: $P=90X+120Y+150Z$

Constraints:

$2X+2Y+Z\leq 400$

$3X+4Y+6Z\leq 240$

$4X+6Y+5Z\leq 320$

$\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{40}\leq 10$

$\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{40}\leq 6$

$\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{40}\leq 8$

$\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{35}+\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{35}+\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{35}\leq 19$

Explanation:

As the question is not complete, the complete question is found online and is attached herewith.

Let the number of product 1 to be produced is X, that of product 2 is Y and product 3 is Z

so the maximizing function is the profit function which is given as

$P=90X+120Y+150Z$

Now as the number of hours in a week are 40 and there are a total of 10 type 1 machines so the total number of machine 1 hours are 40*10=400 hours

As from the given table product 1 uses 2 machine hours of machine 1, product 2 uses 2 machine hours of machine 1 and product 3 uses 1 hour of machine 1 so

$2X+2Y+Z\leq 400$

Now as the number of hours in a week are 40 and there are a total of 6 type 2 machines so the total number of machine 2 hours are 40*6=240 hours

As from the given table product 1 uses 3 machine hours of machine 2, product 2 uses 4 machine hours of machine 2 and product 3 uses 6 hour of machine 2 so

$3X+4Y+6Z\leq 240$

Now as the number of hours in a week are 40 and there are a total of 8 type 3 machines so the total number of machine 3 hours are 40*8=320 hours

As from the given table product 1 uses 4 machine hours of machine 3, product 2 uses 6 machine hours of machine 3 and product 3 uses 5 hour of machine 3 so

$4X+6Y+5Z\leq 320$

Now as the machine 1 is used as 2X+2Y+Z in a week and the week is of 40 hours so the number of machines to be used are given as

$\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{40}\leq 10$

Now as the machine 2 is used as 3X+4Y+6Z in a week and the week is of 40 hours so the number of machines to be used are given as

$\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{40}\leq 6$

Now as the machine 3 is used as 4X+6Y+5Z in a week and the week is of 40 hours so the number of machines to be used are given as

$\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{40}\leq 8$

Now the workers are available for 35 hours so the worker available at the machine 1 is given as

$\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{35}$

That of machine 2 is given as

$\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{35}$

That of machine 3 is given as

$\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{35}$

As the total number of workers is 19 so the constraint is given as

$\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{35}+\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{35}+\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{35}\leq 19$

So the Linear programming model is given as below

Profit Function: $P=90X+120Y+150Z$

Constraints:

$2X+2Y+Z\leq 400$

$3X+4Y+6Z\leq 240$

$4X+6Y+5Z\leq 320$

$\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{40}\leq 10$

$\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{40}\leq 6$

$\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{40}\leq 8$

$\dfrac{2X+2Y+Z}{35}+\dfrac{3X+4Y+6Z}{35}+\dfrac{4X+6Y+5Z}{35}\leq 19$

xeze [42]

Answer:

Units Transferred Out $ 663750

Work In Process Ending $ 30440

Direct Materials Costs $ 11.5 per EUP Conversion Costs$6.2 per EUP

Explanation:

Ashad Company

Weighted Average Method

Cost Of Production Report

Equivalent Units of Production

Direct Materials Conversion

Units transferred out 37,500 EUP 37,500 EUP

<u>Units of ending work in process 2,000 EUP 1,200 EUP</u>

<u>Equivalent units of production 39,500 EUP 38,700 EUP</u>

Costs Added

Direct Materials Conversion

Costs of beginning work in

process $13,450 $1,860

<u>Costs incurred this period 440,800 238,080</u>

<u>Total costs $454,250 $239,940 </u>

<u />

Costs per EUP

Direct Materials Conversion

$454,250/ 39,500 EUP $239,940/38,700 EUP

= $ 11.5 per EUP = $6.2 per EUP

Dividing the costs with EUP gives cost per EUP.

Costs Accounted For

Units Transferred Out $ 663750

Materials = $ 11.5 * 37500=$ 431250

Conversion= $ 6.2 * 37500=$ 232500

Total = $ 663750

Work In Process Ending $ 30440

Materials = $ 11.5 * 2000=$ 23000

Conversion= $ 6.2 * 1200=$ 7440

Total = $ 30440

Now adding the costs of Transferred out units and the ending work in process inventory equals the total of the costs added.

$ 663750+$ 30440 = $454,250 + $239,940

$ 694190 = $ 694190
