Answer:

Bellisima's opportunity cost to produce 1 bushel of corn = 2 pairs of jeans

Explanation:

Bellisima uses 1 million hours of labor to produce corn and 3 million hours of labor to produce jeans. Produces 8 million bushels of corn and 48 million pairs of jeans.

  • Production of corn per million hours of labor = 8 / 1 = 8 bushels of corn
  • Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 48 / 3 = 16 pairs of jeans

Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor to produce corn and 1 million hours of labor to produce jeans. Produces 15 million bushels of corn and 20 million pairs of jeans.

  • Production of corn per million hours of labor = 15 / 3 = 5 bushels of corn
  • Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 20 / 1 = 20 pairs of jeans

The opportunity cost refers to the extra costs or benefits lost form choosing one activity or investment over another alternative.

  • Bellisima's opportunity cost to produce 1 bushel of corn = 16 pairs of jeans / 8 bushels of corn = 2 pairs of jean per bushel of corn.
  • Bellisima's opportunity cost to produce 1 pair of jeans = 8 bushels of corn / 16 pairs of jeans = 0.5 bushels of corn per pair of jean.

  • Felicidad's opportunity cost to produce 1 bushel of corn = 20 pairs of jeans / 5 bushels of corn = 4 pairs of jean per bushel of corn.
  • Felicidad's opportunity cost to produce 1 pair of jeans = 5 bushels of corn / 20 pairs of jeans = 0.25 bushels of corn per pair of jean.

The following estimates have been prepared for a project:Fixed costs: $27,000Depreciation: $18,000Sales price per unit: $4Accoun
Blababa [14]

Answer: $3.10

Explanation:

Accounting breakeven = Fixed costs / Contribution margin

Fixed costs = Fixed costs + Depreciation = 27,000 + 18,000 = $45,000

50,000 units = 45,000 / Contribution margin

Contribution * 50,000 = 45,000

Contribution = 45,000 / 50,000

Contribution margin = 0.9

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost

0.9 = 4 - Variable cost

Variable cost = 4 - 0.9

= $3.10

Dock Corporation makes two products from a common input. Joint processing costs up to the split-off point total $33,600 a year.
aniked [119]

Answer:

20,500

Explanation:

The minimum price at split off is the benefit of further processing less the cost of this processing.

product X further process sales value:        35,000

cost of further processing:                             (15,000)

minimum accepted price at split-off point: 20,500

The reasoning is as follow: the company will sale at leat to break even.

so the product at split off will be sold at cost.

to get 35,500 worth of goods we must add up to 15,000 dollars

so the initial cost is 35,500 - 15,000 = 20,500
