Answer:

Production costs.

Explanation:

The market forces fail to incentivize a reduction in costs of production and this is because production cost.

This is because in a market with demand, supply and competitive pricing, it is not ideal for production costs to be reduced, rather it is advantageous if the costs are increased, in order to scale up production.

An increase in the level of output will therefore serve the purpose of competitive pricing, because manufacturer can now afford to reduce the price of commodities in order to increase sales.

First, calculate the future value of investment

Future value of Investment = Annuity payment x ( 1 + Interst rate )^numbers of years - 1 / Interst rate = $3,900 x ( 1 + 3% )^5 - 1 / 3% = $20,705.63

Amount affordable = Future value of investment / Rate of down payment = $20,705.63 / 20% = $103,528.15

Ashley

First, calculate the future value of investment

Future value of Investment = Annuity payment x ( 1 + Interst rate )^numbers of years - 1 / Interst rate = $4,900 x ( 1 + 5% )^5 - 1 / 5% = $27,075.59

Amount affordable = Future value of investment / Rate of down payment = $27,075.59 / 20% = $135,377.97

Dakota

Elle

First, calculate the future value of the investment

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

c. number of labor hours

Explanation:

The direct labor hours metric can estimate the amount of time the manufacturing capacity was used for each product.

Consider the bulk unit number is not a good metric because; the products aren't homogeneous and use different quantities of materials.

Also, the direct equipment cost cannot be linked to production. The depreciation of the equipment is an overhead cost, not a cost driver.

garri49 [273]

Answer:

$47439.50

Explanation:

For a single tax payer if your taxable income range is $200,000 - $500,000 then your income tax is $45,689.50 + 35% of amount over $200,000 of taxable income.

Income tax liability = $45689.50+{ 205000-200000)×35%}

$45689.50+(5000×35/100)

$45689.50+(5000×0.35)

$45689.50+1750

= $47439.50

The income tax liability will be $47439.50
