Answer:

some firms will exit the industry

Explanation:

if the minimum possible price of constructing homes = $50 per square foot, it means that the marginal cost of building a square foot is $50. If the selling price is less than the marginal cost, then some firms will inevitably have to exit the industry. No firm can remain at an industry when its marginal costs are higher than its marginal revenue.

As supply lowers, the equilibrium price should increase, and some firms might return to the industry.

Elina [12.6K]

Delivering healthcare goods and services requires several inputs in economic terms these inputs can be classified as either <u>labor</u><u> </u>or non-labor.

<h3>What are non-labor inputs?</h3>

Speaking from the perspective of the factors of production, on one hand, non-labor inputs refers to such inputs as:

  • Energy
  • Land
  • Capital
  • Information etc.

The amount of labor input is calculated as either the number of employees or the number of hours they put in during a specific time period, such a year.

The majority of nations gather information on the number of employees and are able to compute labor productivity as output per employee.

A firm currently employs four workers in a sandwich shop, and produces sandwiches at a total cost per sandwich (ATC) of $3. The
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

all are correct A, B and C

Explanation:

The marginal cost hiring another worker and producing a sandwich = $5.50 per sandwich, which is higher than the marginal revenue.

If the selling price per sandwich is $5 and the marginal cost per sandwich is $5.50, the firm will lose $0.50 for every sandwich that it sells.

Therefore the firm would be losing money is they hire an extra worker.

In order to maximize the profit, the marginal cost = selling price.

marin [14]

Answer: Topic Sentence

Explanation:

The Topic sentence contains the idea that the whole paragraph is centered on. It is in the topic sentence that the leader gets a grasp of what is going on and then reads the support sentences to find out an elaboration of this sentence. For this reason it is usually the first sentence though not always.

In the text, the sentence <em>As a member of the crisis management team, you are required to attend our biannual crisis management workshops </em>is a topic sentence because it introduces the Crisis Management team and then elaborates on it.

The accounting records of Tuel Electronics show the following data.Beginning inventory 3,880 units at $8Purchases 8,660 units at
Scrat [10]

Answer:

FIFO

FIFO means First in First Out. This method values cost of sales at the earliest prices

Cost of Goods Sold = (3,880 units × $8) + (5,430 units × $10)

                                 = $85,340

LIFO

LIFO means Last in Fist Out. This method values cost of sales at the latest prices.

Cost of Goods Sold = (8,660 units × $10) + (650 units × $8)

                                 = $91,800

Weighted Average Cost

The unit cost is re-calculated with every new purchase of units made. The cost of sale will be valued on the newly calculated average unit cost.

Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Total Units

                = (3,880 units × $8) + (8,660 units × $10) / 12,540 units

                = $9.381

Cost of Goods Sold = Units Sold × Unit Cost

                                 = 9,310 units × $9.381

                                 = $ 87,337.11
