Answer:
The answer is A. resources are shared by more than one product or service.
Explanation:
Indirect cost are costs that are not directly related or traced to any product or activity. They are shared or used by more than one activities. Examples include, Adminstrative expenses, advertising expenses, telephone expenses, rent, office expenses etc.
Like direct cost, indirect cost can be fixed or variable.
Indirect costs are used by business as a whole and not just limited to a particular product.
Option B is not correct. Cost that are directly traced or related to a product is known as direct material. For example, direct labour and direct material used to produce a particular good.
Option C and D are also wrong
Answer:
a. Italy has a comparative advantage in producing potatoes
Explanation:
Let us compute opportunity costs (OC).
In France,
OC of potato = 3000/9000
= 0.33 lemon
OC of lemon = 9000/3000
= 3 potato
In Italy,
OC of potato = 3000/3000
= 1 lemon
OC of lemon = 3000/3000
= 1 potato
France can produce potato at a lower OC than Italy, so France has comparative advantage in potato. Italy has a comparative advantage in producing lemons.
Trade is mutually beneficial if terms of trade (relative price) lies between the OC.
0.33 < Relative price of potato < 1 lemon, Or
1 potato < Relative price of lemon < 3 potato
Therefore, Italy has a comparative advantage in producing potatoes.
Answer:
Blume's formula combines the geometric and arithmetic means of an asset to be able to predict its returns in a given period.
The formula is;
= Geometric Mean*(T-1)/(N-1) + Arithmatic Mean *(N-T)/(N-1)
Where,
T = Period in question
N = Total period
6 years
= 10.3%*(6-1)/(38-1) + 12.4%*(38-6)/(38-1)
= 12.1 %
10 years
= 10.3%*(10-1)/(38-1) + 12.4%*(38-10)/(38-1)
= 11.89%
19 years
= 10.3%*(19-1)/(38-1) + 12.4%*(38-19)/(38-1)
= 11.38%
Answer:
supply of; right
Explanation:
When the supply curve shifts rightward, there would be a rightward shift of the supply curve. As a result of the rightward shift, supply would increase and the price falls.
When the price of a good falls, the quantity demanded increases. This is in line with the law of demand.
According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
Thus, when the price of blue ray players fall, there would be an increase in the quantity of demanded. there would a movement down along the demand curve.
The degree of operating leverage can be calculated by subtracting variable costs from sales and dividing it by sales minus variable costs and fixed costs.
The degree of operating leverage is
(2,000,000−800,000)
÷(2,000,000−800,000
−900,000)=4
