An economy can produce the following combinations of goods: 50X and 0Y, 40X and 10Y, 30X and 20Y, 20X and 30Y, 10X and 40Y, and

0X and 50Y. The production possibilities frontier (PPF) for the economy is:a. concave downward because the opportunity cost of producing the 10th unit of Y isgreater than the opportunity cost of producing the first unit of Y.b. a straight (downward-sloping) line because the opportunity cost of producing the twogoods is constant.c. concave downward because the opportunity cost of producing the 40th unit of Y is lessthan the opportunity cost of producing the 10th unit of Y.d. a straight (downward-sloping) line because the opportunity cost of producing the 10thunit of X is greater than the opportunity cost of producing the 40th unit of X.e. a straight (downward-sloping) line because the opportunity cost of producing the 30thunit of Y is greater than the opportunity cost of producing the 30th unit of X.

Answer:

B. The PPF is a straight line because of the opportunity cost of the two goods is constant.

Explanation:

The graphic representation of the PPF is a downward line with slope -1. The trade-off is always the same, the trade-off is always 1, in the problem statement when the economy produces 10 more of the Y product, the economy stops producing 10 of product X. The cost of opportunity of the good X is always 1 of the Y.

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Capability index = 0.4444

Explanation:

Given:

lower specification limit = 22.8 mm

Upper specification limit = 23.2 mm

The standard deviation = 0.15 mm

Mean = 23 mm

Capability index = ?

Computation of Capability index:

Capability index = minimum of [ \frac{USL-mean}{3(SD)} ,\frac{mean - LSL}{3(SD)} ]

Capability index = minimum of [  \frac{23.2-23}{3(0.15)} ,\frac{23 - 22.8}{3(0.15)} ]

Capability index = minimum of [  \frac{0.2}{0.45} ,\frac{0.2}{0.45} ]

Capability index = minimum of [  0.4444 , 0.4444 ]

Capability index = 0.4444

An electronics company has factories in Cleveland and Toledo that manufacture three head and forehead VCRs. Each day the Clevela
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The Toledo factory should work for 20 days

The Cleveland factory should work for 50 days

Explanation:

Let me use abbreviations to denote each of the VCR produces:

Three head  VCR = THV

Four head VCR = FHV

we were told that:

Cleveland in one day produces; 500 THV and 300 FHV at a price of $18000, while Toledo in one day produces; 300 THV and 300 FHV at a price of $15000.

Information on order received:

THV = 25,000

FHV = 21000

Next let us use the common factor between both company locations to divide the production days between them, and the common product produced equally by these two factories is FHV where each of them produce 300 in a day.

hence to fill an order of 21,000 FHV, each factory has to produce 21000 ÷ 2 = 10, 500 orders each.

Now let us find how many days it will take to produce 10,500 orders if they produce 300 orders each day:

300 FHV = 1 day

∴ 10,500 FHV = \frac{1}{300} × \frac{10,500}{1} = 35 days.

Therefore, if both factories were to be producing the same amount of both THV and FHV each it will take them 35 days each to fill the order, but because Cleveland factory produces 500 THV while Toledo produces 300 THV, this will not hold since at the end of 35 days:

the Cleveland factory will produce 35 × 500 = 17,500 THV

the Toledo factory will produce 35 × 300 = 10,500 THV, bringing the total number of THV to 28,000 which is 3000 more than the order of 25,000 THVs

Next, we have to work backwards.Since the Cleveland factory has an excess of 3000 THVs, let us see how many days it will take to produce the excess 3000 THVs and remove that number of days from the Cleveland factory, while adding that same number of days to the Toledo factory, to even things out.

So removing one day from Cleveland will reduce production of THVs by 500, while concurrently adding one day to FHV will increase production of THV by 300, creating a net production of 200 THVs being removed.

Remember that the excess THV produced was 3000, to get the total number of days to remove from Cleveland and to add to Toledo, we will divide 3000 by 200.

∴ 3000 ÷ 200 = 15.

hence we will subtract 15 days from the original 35 days of Cleveland while we add 15 days to the original 35 of Toledo giving us:

Cleveland: 35 - 15 = 20 days

Toledo: 35 + 15 = 50 days.

now let us test our answer.

for THV:

Cleveland working for 20 days will produce; 500 × 20 = 10000

Toledo working for 50 days will produce; 300 × 50 = 15000

giving a total of 10000 + 15000 = 25,000 three head VCRs.

for Four Head VCRs (FHV)

Cleveland working for 20 days will produce; 300 × 20 = 6,000

Toledo working for 50 days will produce; 300 × 50 = 15,000

therefore total Four head VCRs produced = 6,000 + 15,000 = 21,000 VCRs.

and the total cost of production:

Cleveland; 1 day = $18,000

∴ 20 days = 18,000 × 20 = $360,000

while Toledo in 50 days = 15000 × 50 = $750,000. Hence the total amount for production = $360,000 + $750,000 = $1,110,000

Suppose you bought 400 shares of stock at an initial price of $53 per share. The stock paid a dividend of $0.58 per share during
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Gain per share = $1.58

Total dollar return on investment = $632

Explanation:

In order to calculate the total dollar return on investment we will first calculate the dollar return on one share and then multiply it by the total number of shares.

Share was bought at the initial price of 53 and it paid a dividend of 0.58 and sold for 54. Gain = Selling Price-Buying Price + Dividend.

Gain per share = 54-53+0.58=1.58

Total dollar return= 1.58*400=$632

The income statement shows the profit or loss of a company during a particular year. The income statement shows that how much revenue is generated and how much expenses is incurred in a year.

If the revenue is greater than expenses, than the company is earning profits otherwise it suffers a loss.

= Service revenue - Salary expense - insurance expenses - utility expense - rent expense

= 32,000 - 12,300 - 2,500 - 3,900 - 6,000

= $7,300
