Answer:

The answers are:

  1. For someone who is currently renting an apartment, he or she should be better off with rent control as long as they keep renting the same apartment. They will pay a lower price.
  2. For someone who is moving to Lowell, he or she will be worse off because the quantity supplied for apartments on Lowell will decrease (price ceilings always decrease the quantity supplied). So it will be very hard for him to find a suitable apartment.
  3. For the landlord that abides by the law, he will be worse off because he will lose money. He should be earning more money but due to the rent control, his earnings decrease.
  4. For the landlord that decides to ignore the, he will eventually be worse off by his actions, since illegal activities always have a sour ending. He will eventually be caught and will probably have to pay a fine of some sort.

A small assembly line currently produces 8000 widgets per week. Assume that there are two inputs: labor and materials. There are
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer: 1 widget per dollar

Explanation:

The weekly productivity level for this operation will be calculated thus:

Output = 8000 widgets per week.

Input = Labor Cost + Material Cost

= (5 × 40 × $15) + (100 × $50)

= $3000 + $5000

= $8000

Productivity = Output / Input

= $8000 / $8000

= 1 widget per dollar

Stels [109]

Answer:

The answer is $3,214,285.71

Explanation:

Price of each award is $45,000

And there are 5

Therefore, we have 5 x $45,000

=$225,000.

So, $225,000 is the future value.

Rate of return(r) in 7% and it is being assumed that it is forever.

Hartong Corporation is contemplating purchasing equipment that would increase sales revenues by $185,000 per year and cash opera
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to: C. 10.6%

Explanation:

In Hartong Corporation:

Increasing net income = Increase sales revenues - Cash operating expenses - Annual depreciation expense = $185,000 - $89,000 - $52,000 = $44,000

This is the net income from the equipment per year

Return on the investment (ROI) is calculated by using following formula:

ROI = (Net income/Cost of investment )x 100%

Cost of investment  = Cost of equipment = $416,000

ROI = ($44,000/$416,000) x 100% = 10.6%
