Answer:

c. increases

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.

The production possibility frontier is graph that shows the two combinations of goods that an economy can produce given its resocurces.

Damm [24]

Answer:

Labor productivity in units per labor hour for Deluxe car = 0.19 per hour

Labor productivity in units per labor hour for Limited car = 0.24 per hour

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense for Deluxe car = $98.75

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense for Limited car = $128.69

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete and its data are merged together. The complete question with the sorted data is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Two types of cars (Deluxe and Limited) were produced by a car manufacturer last year. Quantities sold, price per unit, and labor hours are given below.

                                QUANTITY                     $/UNIT

Deluxe car            3,655 units sold            $7,700/car

Limited car           5,850 units sold            $9,200/car

Labor, Deluxe        19,000 hours                 $15/hour

Labor, Limited       24,600 hours                 $17/hour

What is the labor productivity for each car? Provide two sets of figures: units per labor hour, and dollar of output per dollar of labor expense. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

For each type of car, the following formulae can be used:

Labor productivity in units per labor hour = Units sold / Labor hours ……. (1)

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense = (Units sold * Price per car) / (Labor hours / Labor rate per hour) ……………. (2)

Using equation (1), we have:

Labor productivity in units per labor hour for Deluxe car = 3,655 / 19,000 = 0.19 per hour

Labor productivity in units per labor hour for Limited car = 5,850 / 24,600 = 0.24 per hour

Using equation (2), we have:

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense for Deluxe car = (3,655 * $7,700) / (19,000 * $15) = $98.75

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense for Limited car = (5,850 * $9,200) / (24,600 * $17) = $128.69

These can be translated into a table as follows:

                                     Labor Productivity  

                               Units/hour         Dollars

Deluxe Car              0.19/hour           $98.75

Limited Car             0.24/hour         $128.69

Magic Company adds materials at the beginning of the process in Department A. The following information on physical units for De
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Equivalent units

a) Weighted average =  523,200 units

b)  FIFO =  480,000 units

Explanation:

<em>FIFO Method.</em>

<em>Fully worked units</em><em>: These represent units of inventory that were started in a current period and completed that same period. The fully worked units are calculated in order to separate the opening inventory from  the the newly introduced when accounting for completed units under the FIFO.</em>

For magic company , fully worked units is

= 480,000 - 72,000 = 408,000 units

Equivalent units using Weighted Average

<em>Here, there are no distinction between opening inventory and the newly introduced</em>.

                                                            <em>            Equivalent Units</em>

Completed unit                    (100%× 480,000) = 480,000

Closing inventory                (60% × 72,000) = <u>     43,200</u>

Total equivalent units                                       <u>523,200</u>

Equivalent Units using FIFO

Item                                                               <em>Equivalent Units</em>

Opening inventory              (40% × 72,000) =  28,800

Fully worked                        (100%× 408,00) = 408,000

Closing inventory                (60% × 72,000) = <u> 43,200</u>

Total equivalent units                                     <u>480,000 </u>

<u />

Equivalent units

a) Weighted average =  523,200 units

b)  FIFO =  480,000 units

zhannawk [14.2K]

Explanation:

First of, we need to understand that libel in it self refers to a false statement or report published against an individual and of which the report has a very high tendency of tarnishing the individuals image. In order words, it can also be refereed to as the defamation of character where the victim in this case is refereed to as the character.

So as related to the question asked, the answer is D.

You are a delivery manager introducing a new product from your unit to the market. What steps should you take to mitigate any IP
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are various steps that you should take to make sure that your product does not violate any IPs. First, you should make sure that those involved with the product sign an NDA. This document prevents these individuals from talking about the product with others, which prevents it's details from leaking and allowing competitors to beat you to market by releasing their own version of your product first. The other step that you should take would be to patent the design and trademark the name of the product. Doing so will make sure that the product is unique and that it does not interfere with already existant IP's, as well as preventing others from infringing on your product.
