Answer:
Variable cost = $6,550
Explanation:
Variable cost is the cost incurred during the production process that changes with quantity of goods produced. For example labor, machine operating cost, and raw materials.
The other type of cost is variable cost that does not change with volume of production, but rather remains constant. For example rent, tax, and so on.
In the given instance the costs that are variable are cost of labor, cost of electricity to run printing presses, and cost of ink for paper.
Monthly mortgage and property tax are fixed cost that must be paid regardless of production volume.
variable cost = $5,500 + $800 + $250
Variable cost = $6,550
Answer:
(a) Work/leisure choice
(b) Marketing strategy
Explanation:
Microeconomic issues relate to those that are within the scope and power of individuals, households and firms which means that problems here will relate to decisions that these participants make in relation to resource allocation.
Choices relating to leisure or work have to do with the individual and the resources they would need or derive from either work or leisure and so are a microeconomic problem.
The marketing strategy that a firm should pursue is related to an individual firm and so is a microeconomic problem as well.
Answer: the correct answer is a. Machine B
Explanation:
Machine A average rate return
40000 out of 300000. It means that 300000 is 100% and $ 40000 is X. We apply a simple three rule:
40000 X X= 4000000/300000
300000 100% X= 13.33%
Machine B average rate return
50000 out of 250000. It means that 250000 is 100% and $ 50000 is X. We apply a simple three rule:
50000 X X= 5000000/250000
250000 100% X= 20%
Machine C average rate return
$75,000 out of $500,000. It means that $500,000 is 1005 and $75,000 is X. We apply a simple three rule
$75,000 X X=7500000/500000
$500,000 100% X= 15%
The highest average is the one onf Machine B
Answer:
A) 3% decrease in the quantity demanded of pineapple.
Explanation:
We know that the demand curve is negative, which means that as price of a product increases, its demand will decrease.
In unitary elasticity(1) the change in demand means that the change in quantity demanded will be the same. A 0.75 elasticity will thus mean that the quantity demanded will change by a factor of 0.75 as compared to the change in price.
Therefore when the price of pineapple increases by 4%, the quantity demanded will decrease by 4 * 0.75 = 3%
