Answer: 1.02 unit per hour

Explanation: total unit of devices for homeland security is 2200 units

Total labourer = 27 people

Total hour for two weeks = 40 × 2 = 80

Productivity per hour = devices number/total hour 2200/ 80 = 27.5

productivity for the Homeland Security contract in units produced per labor hour = 27.5/27 = 1.0185 = 1.02

Explain why to maximize profits a firm needs to produce an output at a level where marginal revenue
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Rest of question:

... equals marginal cost.

Firms will maximize profits at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost because producing after this point means that no profits will be made.

As long as the Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, there will be profits made because the company is making more than it is spending so they should keep producing. When it gets to a point in production where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the company should not produce further than that.

This is because, as earlier mentioned, any further production would result in the marginal cost being larger than the marginal revenue which means that a loss will be made. The company should therefore stop at the point where MR = MC so as not to let MC get larger than MR so that no losses will be made.

Anna [14]

Answer:

$1,000 loss

Explanation:

The numbers are missing here, so I looked for a similar question:

A copy machine cost $5,000 when new and has accumulated depreciation of $4,000.

The carrying value of the copy machine = purchase cost - accumulated depreciation = $5,000 - $4,000 = $1,000

if the copy machine is discarded and doesn't get any money for it, this will result in a loss equal to the carrying value = $1,000

Cal has a choice between two gambles. The first gamble offers a 50 percent chance of winning $20 and a 50 percent chance of losi
Ber [7]

Answer:

The second gamble has the higher expected value. EV = 4

Explanation:

In betting, expected value can be defined as (Amount won per bet * probability of winning) – (Amount lost per bet * probability of losing)

For the first gamble:

EV=(0.5*20) - (0.5*20) = 0

For the second gamble:

EV= (0.2*100) - (0.8*20) = 4

This means that Cal is expected to earn $4 for each $20 waged on the second gamble while he is expected to break even in the first gamble.

Therefore, the second gamble has the higher expected value.
