Answer:

a.

Average cost per meal = Variable cost per meal + Fixed cost allocated to one meal sold = $4 + Total fixed cost/ Number of meals sold per day = $4 + 1,200/750 = $5.60.

b.

Price per one meal as per the leader of the Scout = 150/30 = $5

As the selling price is $0.60 lower than the average cost per meal ($5-$5.60), the owner has come up with the loss of $0.60 per meal served under the Scout leader's suggestion.

However, his calculation is not reasonable, because among the $5.60 cost per meal, there is a factor of allocated fixed cost equals to $1.6 per meal which will incurred regardless of the suggestion being accepted or not.

Given his restaurant does not run at full capacity, his profit per one meal from accepting the offer should be calculated as Price per one meal as per Scout leader offer - Variable cost per one meal = $5 - $4 = $1.

Answer: TRUE

Explanation: Gross Domestic Product ( GDP) can be described as the market value of all goods and services produced in a country within a particular time period which is usually a year.

The equation for finding GDP is given as -

GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + ( Exports - Imports)

Nominal GDP can be described as the market value of all goods and services produced in a country within a particular time period using current market prices.

Real GDP can be described as the market value of all goods and services produced in a country within a particular time period using base year prices. Using base year prices to calculate real GDP adjusts for inflation.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$32,000

Explanation:

Net advantage = Annual operating cost

Net advantage = [(Old machine - New machine)*10 life] - New machine cost + Old machine cost

Net advantage = [($320000 - $240000)*10] - $800000 + $32000

Net advantage = [($80000)*10 - $768,000

Net advantage = $800,000 - $768,000

Net advantage = $32,000

So, the net advantage of replacing the old machine is $32,000
