Answer:

$50

Explanation:

In the production function, Q = K0.5L0.5,

K denotes the fixed input in the short run.

First, we calculate the total cost:

Cost of Capital= 25 x $1 = $25

Cost of Labor (for a start 25 workers are used)= 25 x $1 = $25

Total= $50

Since the price of the solar panels is $100, substrating from the total cost $50 (100-50) we get $50 profit per unit of solar panel.

Why do we subtract depreciation in the calculation of EBIAT if we are going to add it back as the next step of the Free Cash Flo

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: Depreciation is tax deductible

Explanation:

Depreciation on assets is recognized by tax authorities as an expense that a business actually incurs so when the income statement is calculated, depreciation needs to be removed as the expense that it is so that taxes can be calculated on the profit.

Depreciation however, does not take actual cash from the company i.e the company does not actually pay anyone cash for depreciation like most other expenses. It needs therefore to be added back to the Free Cash Flow because the FCF deals with how much actual cash the company has which is something that Depreciation being a non-cash expense did not reduce.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

higher unemployment rate

Explanation:

The economic region, A, where there is the presence of strict union protection laws, is most likely to experience increase unemployment rate compared to region B where there is the absence of strict union protection laws.

Unions most times favor those who are currently employed as opposed to those who are searching for jobs. They try to reduce wage inequality between low and middle wage workers and high- wage workers, this most times leads to increase in wages above the equilibrium level. This further result to the decline of amount of labor required hence leading to unemployment.
