Answer:
a. If all 307 registered fishermen were to be employed by hotels (in addition to the 3,409 people already working in hotels), how many hotel stays could Bermuda produce?
since the opportunity cost is constant, then if all 307 fishermen decided to become hotel workers, then the total number of hotel stays would be (286 tons of fish x 2,000 stays per ton) + 538,000 stays = 1,110,000 stays
b. If all 3,409 hotel employees were to become fishermen (in addition to the 307 fishermen already working in the fishing industry), how many metric tons of fish could Bermuda produce?
total number of fish caught = (538,000 stays / 2,000 tons per stay) + 286 tons of fish = 555 tons of fish caught

Answer: $300 billion
Explanation:
The real deficit that a Government has is one that has been adjusted for inflationary effects. It is calculated by subtracting the inflation rate times the total debt from the nominal deficit.
= Nominal deficit - (Inflation rate * Total debt)
= 1.5 trillion - ( 10% * 12 trillion)
= 1.5 trillion - 1.2 trillion
= $300 billion
Answer:
Variable cost per unit = $1.5 per unit
Fixed cost = $14,558
Explanation:
Variable cost per unit
= cost at high activity - cost at low activity/High activity -low activity
=$(74,798- $41,663) / (40,160 -18,070) units
= $1.5 per unit
Fixed cost
Total fixed cost = cost at high activity - ( vc per unit × high activity)
= 74,798 - (1.5 × 40,160)
= $14,558
Variable cost per unit = $1.5 per unit
Fixed cost = $14,558
Answer:
$88,000
Explanation:
We know that
The operating profit = Revenues - cost
= $2,600,000 - $2,100,000
= $500,000
If there is increase, so the operating profit would be
= Revenues - cost
where
Revenues = $2,600,000 + $260,000
= $2,860,000
Cost = $2,100,000 + $172,000
= $2,272,000
So, operating profit is
= $2,860,000 - $2,272,000
= $588,000
So, the increase in operating profit would be
= $588,000 - $500,000
= $88,000
