Answer:
A. follow the 45-degree line from the origin
Explanation:
In order to diversify the business that means the output level should be increased we need to rise the input i.e. no of planes and pilots
Now if we increase the no of planes by 1 so here the no of pilots should also be increased by 1 units
So the expansion path equation is y = x
Therefore the option a is correct
Switzer Inc. should give the value of the computers at what they are currently worth to replace. After the two years, they now cost $400 to replace them so the value Switzer Inc. should place on their year end report is $400 due to that being the cost to replace in current day.
This can cause you to lose your retirement.
Answer: Henry should purchase this plant as it pays back in less than the 6 years it will have to be replaced in.
Payback period = 3.7 years
Explanation:
Payback period is a capital budgeting strategy that shows how long it will take for cash inflow to pay off the original investment.
The formula is;
= Year before payback + Cashflow remaining till payback/ Cash inflow in year of Payback
Year before payback
= 1,200,000/ 325,000
= 3.69
= 3 years
Cashflow remaining
= 1,2000,000 - (325,000 * 3)
= $225,000
= Year before payback + Cashflow remaining till payback/ Cash inflow in year of Payback
= 3 + 225,000/325,000
= 3.69
= 3.7 years
Answer: 1 unit of X and 2 units of Y
Explanation: Total utility is the complete satisfaction you get from maximising usage of a quantity of a good or service. However another element also needs to be considered, and that is marginal utility. Marginal utility is the satisfaction you get from consuming an additional quantity of a good or service.
Both these factors are important as they determine how much of each product the consumer should buy. To maximise total utility, the consumer must use the full $10 income. But the question still stands as to which combination of products should the consumer purchase.
To make it fair the consumer should start by purchasing one of X and one of Y, and keep taking one of each (starting with X) to keep it fair. However after taking one of X, worth $2, and one of Y, worth $4, there is only $4 left. That means that if the consumer then takes one of X there will be $2 left, disallowing the consumer to afford X, and thus making the purchases unfair. Therefore in terms of meeting the marginal utlility, it is better to then swop to purchasing Y with the remaining $4, and maximising the consumer's total utility.
