Answer:

a. Who should be assigned to chop vegetables?

  • Henriette

b. Who should be assigned to wash dishes?

  • Rahul

Explanation:

we need to determine the opportunity cost of each employee:

Rahul's opportunity cost of chopping one pound of vegetables = 100 / 20 = washing 5 dishes per hour.

Rahul's opportunity cost of washing 1 dish per hour = 20 / 100 = 0.2 pounds of chopped vegetables.

Henriette's opportunity cost of chopping one pound of vegetables = 120 / 30 = washing 4 dishes per hour.

Henriette's opportunity cost of washing 1 dish per hour = 30 / 120 = 0.25 pounds of chopped vegetables.

Rahul should wash dishes while Henriette should chop vegetables because their opportunity cost of performing these activities is lower.

Donnie's Donuts incurs $450,000 per year in explicit costs and $200,000 in implicit costs. The bakery earns $800,000 in revenues
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

$150,000

Explanation:

Given that

Total revenue = $800,000

Explicit cost = $450,000

Implicit cost = $200,000

The computation of the accounting profit is as shown below :-

= Total revenue - Total cost

= $800,000 - $650,000

= $150,000

Total cost = Explicit cost -Implicit cost

= $450,000 + $200,000

= $650,000

Therefore for calculating the accounting profit we simply deduct the total cost from total revenue.

A tax on suppliers will cause the equilibrium price paid by the consumer to ______ and the equilibrium quantity to ______.
tangare [24]
A tax on suppliers will cause the equilibrium price paid by the consumer to increase and the equilibrium quantity to decrease. The tax would basically make the supplier decide to increase the price of their product. In effect, the consumer would have to pay a higher <span>price because of this incident. Since the price to be paid by the consumer would increase, the equilibrium quantity would eventually increase because the amount to be paid by the consumer is already fixed. When the price per unit would increase, the number of units that can be bought with the specified amount of money will eventually decrease.</span>

Do all markets function the same way around the world?
Alika [10]
Well honestly, markets are how people function; markets don’t function, people do.

We speak of the “functioning of markets” as a shorthand, a figure of speech because abstracting human behavior to the behavior of a system is useful, as long as we don’t forget that it is an abstraction and not a real thing.

This is the same when we speak of “the roar of the crowd” even though people roar, not crowds. It just takes too long to write “the noise of the people in the crowd roaring at the same time”.

It is easier to write “the functioning of the market” than “what happens as people interact with each other.” Markets are the interactions of people .

So, do people behave and interact the same way around the world? Obviously not. Are the results the same? Yes they are: people serve each other and, in the process, create wealth. But both wealth and service vary by culture.

If that makes sense... anyway, have a nice night!

​(A) What price should the company charge for the​ phones, and how many phones should be produced to maximize the weekly​ revenu
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

2500 phones produced at $250 per phone

Max weekly revenue would be $625,000.

Explanation:

p = 500 - 0.1x

p is the price per unit

revenue = quantity * price/unit  

R(x) = revenue = p(x)*x = 500x - 0.1x²

p(x) maximum when first derivative is set to 0

500 - 0.2x = 0 ==> x = 500/0.2 = 2500 quantities

price/unit : p = 500 - 0.1*2500 = 500 - 250 = 250

revenue :  

r(2500) = 500*2500 - 0.1*2500²

r(2500) = 2500(500 - 250) = 625000

The company should produce 2500 phones each week at a price of $250

The maximum weekly revenue is $625000
