What information is the buyer entitled to?

A factory produces product A according to the production function QA = 100XA, where XA denotes the amount of input and QA is the

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

XA + XB = 100

QA = 100XA

QB = 200XB - XB^2

Use the fact that,

XA = 100 - XB

Now total production is Q = QA + QB

Q = 100XA + 200XB - XB^2

Q = 100 × (100 - XB) + 200XB - XB^2

Q = 10,000 + 100XB - XB^2

Output is maximum when Q'(XB) = 0

100 = 2XB = 0

XB = 50

XA = 50

Therefore, the firm’s profit-maximizing allocation of input X is 50 units of XA and 50 units of XB.

College football attendance, especially student attendance, has been on the decline. In 2016, home attendance at major colleg

puteri [66]

Answer:

Your opportunity cost of attending a game compared with the opportunity cost facing a college student 10 years ago is:

A) higher, because more games are televised today.

Opportunity costs are the cost of choosing one alternative from another.

In this case, when college students attend college football games they are unable to do other activities, not only while they are at the stadium or going to the stadium, but they are not able to purchase other goods. The cost of those alternatives that are lost are higher now because many college football games are televised now, before if you wanted to see a game you had to go to the game. So a student is now able to watch the game while doing other activities, or saving money for buying something else.

Can this change in opportunity cost account for the decline in college football attendance?

B) Yes, because these changes increase the opportunity cost of watching football games in person.

Even though opportunity costs do not involve actual cash payments, they are still important and individuals do consider them when they are choose one option over another. E.g. imagine if you had to choose between spending a considerable amount of money by attending a game (ticket, gas, beverages, etc.) or watching that game on TV and buying a few clothes instead or going on a date, etc. What option would you choose?

Master Hatter's demand for hats is 25,000 per year. The order cost is $425 and the carrying cost is $4.50 per unit. The cost pai

laiz [17]

Answer with its Explanation:

Part A. Economic order quantity Computation

Economic order quantity can be calculated by using the following formula:

EOQ = Squaroot of (2* D * S / H)

Here

Ordering cost per order is $425 which is S

Annual Holding cost per unit per year is $4.5 which is H

Annual Demand is 25000 Units

By putting values, we have:

EOQ = (2 * 25000 * $425 / $4.5) ^(1 / 2) = 2173 Hats

Part B.

Total Cost at EOQ = Purchasing Cost + Total Ordering cost + Holding Cost

By putting values, we have:

Total Cost = 25,000 Units * $25 per unit + ($25,000 / 2173 Hats) * $425 + (2173 Hats / 2) * $4.5 = $634,778 Annual Cost

Part C.

For ordering at-least 2000 units per order, the total cost would be:

Total Cost under 2000 order quantity = 25,000 * $25 per unit + (25000/2000) * $425 + (2000/2) * $4.5

Total Cost under 2000 order quantity = $634,813

By ordering at least 2000 hats will bring a loss of $35 ($634,778 - $634,813), hence Master Hatter must only order in EOQ.

Virginia owns 100% of Goshawk Company. In the current year, Goshawk Company sells a capital asset (held for three years) at a lo

kumpel [21]

Answer:

a) If Goshawk is a proprietorship, only $21000 long-term capital loss can be deducted in the current year. The remaining $19000 net capital loss is carried forward and then carried back

b) If Goshawk is a C corporation, only $ 18000 long-term capital loss can be deducted in the current year. The remaining $22000 net capital loss is carried back and then forward of Item 2.

Explanation:

The gain or loss on the sale of a property is said to be the difference between between the realized value of goods and its adjusted basis. When there is a gain the realized value would be greater than the adjusted basis, while when there's loss the realized value would be less than the adjusted basis.

A) In this case, if Goshawk is a proprietorship, only $21,000 of the $40,000 long-term capital loss can be deducted in the current year. The loss will offset the short-term capital gain of $18,000 first; then, an additional $3,000 of the loss may be utilized as a deduction against ordinary income. The remaining $19,000 net capital loss is carried forward to next year and years thereafter until completely deducted. The capital loss carryover retains its character as long term.

B) If Goshawk is a C corporation, $18,000 short term capital gain can be set off for long term capital loss. Then the remaining $22,000($40,000 - $18,000) will be carried backwards
