Answer:

$4,600

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Utility cost = $5,000

Operating level = 20,000 machine hours per period

Final utility cost = $4,000

Final operating level = 15,000

Now,

Variable cost per machine hour

= [Total cost at highest level-Total cost at lowest level] ÷ [ Highest level-Lowest level) ]

=[ 5000 - 4000 ] ÷ [ 20,000 - 15,000 ]

= $0.2 per machine hour

Therefore,

Fixed costs = $5,000 - [ 0.2 × 20,000 ]

= $1000

Total cost for 18000 machine hours

= [ 0.2 × 18,000 ] + 1000

= $4,600

If the Ricardian equivalence theorem LOADING... is not​ relevant, then an​ income-tax-rate cut A. will result in a multiple time
LenKa [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. will result in a multiple times higher decrease in equilibrium real GDP in the short​ run; however, a​ tax-rate reduction will increase the​ automatic-stabilizer properties of the tax​ system, so equilibrium real GDP would be less stable.

Explanation:

Ricardian Equivalence is an economic theory that suggests that when a government increases expenses financed with debt to try to stimulate demand, demand does not really undergo any change.

This is because increases in the public deficit will lead to higher taxes in the future. To keep their consumption pattern stable, taxpayers will reduce consumption and increase their savings in order to offset the cost of this future tax increase.

If taxpayers reduce their consumption and increase their savings by the same amount as the debt to be returned by the government, there is no effect on aggregate demand.

The fundamental concept of Ricardian equivalence is that it does not matter which method the government chooses to increase spending, whether by issuing public debt or through taxes (applying an expansive fiscal policy), the result will be the same and demand will remain unchanged.

slavikrds [6]

Labour Productivity is basically the worth of goods produced by each labour or collectively in an hour, This can be expressed in the formula below:

Labour Productivity per hour of work=\frac{Worth of Goods Produced}{Total Number of Labour Hours}

In order to find worth of goods we shall use below Formula:

Worth of Goods= Sale Price per Unit*Number of Units Sold

In given case there are 2 types of goods sold as below

1. Proper Garments

Worth of Goods Sold= $210*78 Garments

Worth of Goods Sold=$16380

2. Seconds

Worth of Goods Sold= $100*54

Worth of Goods Sold= $5400

Total Goods Sold= $5400+$16380

Total Worth of Goods=$21780

Total Hours Worked= No of Workers*Hours Worked each Worker

Total Hours Worked= 8*45

Total Hours Worked=360 Hours

Labour Productivity=\\ \frac{21780}{360}

Labour Productivity=$60.5 per Hour
