qwelly [4]

Answer:

a) Break even = 480.5 units ≈ 481 Million units

b) Breakeven = 8,014,162,500 units

Explanation:

calculations are in millions

Breakeven = fixed costs / contribution per unit

selling price per unit = $47063/400 = $117.66

Variable cost = ($18756*75%) + ($31755*50%) = $14067 +15877.50 =$29944.5/400 units =$74.86

contribution = $117.66-$74.86 = $42.80

fixed costs = ( $18756*25%) +( $31755*50%) =  $4689 + 15877.50 = $20566.50

Breakeven = $20566.50/$42.80 = 480.5 units

b) calculations

fixed costs = 20,566,500 + 300,000,000

                 = 320,566,500

break even = $320,566,500 /0.04

                  = 8,014,162,500 units

Which of the following reasons does not contribute to a higher level of unemployment?
Mandarinka [93]
Hi there!

The answer is A) A lack of labor mobility as people choose to remain in their hometown. 

Unemployment is a complex issue, here are the reasons why the other options increase unemployment:

-Reduction in Union bargaining activities would increase unemployment because employers wouldn't have as many restrictions to reduce their workforce. 

-Reduction in economic activity due to a recession would increase unemployment as the demand for products, and for workers too, will decrease.

-The existence of efficiency wages causes unemployment because the demand for labor will decrease, as employees get more and more efficient. 

<span>A lack of labor mobility as people choose to remain in their hometown will not contribute to a higher level of unemployment. Instead, labor mobility can increase unemployment because there would be an oversupply of labor in a specific region. </span>
