Answer:

Downward sloping curve with 300 intercept on mini sandwich axis, 150 intercept on melon spices

Explanation:

PPC reflects production combinations (2 goods), which can be produced given same resources & technology. It is downward sloping because of inverse relationship between two goods, one good increase leads to other good decrease - given same resources & technology.

In this case, it is with analogous factors : production possibilities with respect to unlimited ingredients (resources), limited time. Although resources are given to be unlimited, PPC is likely to be downward sloping : because of inverse relationship between goods - based on time constraint (one good increase will withdraw time from other good & reduce it).

The PPC intercept on X & Y axis represents the maximum amount of that axis good, which can be produced. So: it has 300 intercept on mini sandwich axis, 150 intercept on melon spice axis.

The slope & shape of PPC depends on Marginal Opportunity Cost, which depends on relative efficiency of resources in two goods.

Resources equally efficient - Constant Good Sacrifise Ratio i.e MOC - PPC straight line. Resources unequally efficient - Increasing Sacrifise Ratio (from efficient to inefficient good) i.e MOC rising - PPC Concave. Increasing Sacrifise Ratio (from inefficient resources to efficient resources) i.e MOC falling - PPC Convex.

If MOC between mini sandwiches & melon spices is constant, PPC is straight line . If MOC between them is rising, PPC is concave. If MOC between them is falling, PPC is convex.

Gruden Company produces golf discs which it normally sells to retailers for $7 each. The cost of manufacturing 23,600 golf discs
pychu [463]

Answer:

Increase in income= $2,965.6

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Gruden Company produces golf discs which it normally sells to retailers for $7 each. The cost of manufacturing 23,600 golf discs is:

Materials $ 12,036

Labor 35,400

Variable overhead 23,128

Fixed overhead 47,200

Total $117,764

McGee Corporation offers Gruden $4.91 per disc for 4,930 discs. If Gruden accepts the offer, its fixed overhead will increase from $47,200 to $53,700 due to the purchase of a new imprinting machine.

Total variable cost= (12,036 + 35,400 + 23,128)= 70,564

Unitary variable cost= 70,564/23,600= $2.99

Increase in fixed costs= $6,500

Increase in income= (4930*4.91) - (4930*2.99) - 6500= $2,965.6

A $ 1 comma 000 bond with a coupon rate of 6.2​% paid semiannually has two years to maturity and a yield to maturity of 6​%. If
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

As a result of a fall in interest and YTM, the bond price will increase by $15.04

Explanation:

To calculate the change in price due to fall in interest rate, we must first calculate the price of the bond before and after the fall of interest rates.

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 0.062 * 0.5 = $31

Total periods (n)= 2 * 2 = 4

r or YTM = 6% * 1/2 = 3% or 0.03

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

<u />

<u>Before Interest rates Fell</u>

Bond Price = 31 * [( 1 - (1+0.03)^-4) / 0.03]  +  1000 / (1+0.03)^4

Bond Price = $1003.717098 rounded off to $1003.72

<u />

<u />

<u>After Interest Rates Fell</u>

New YTM = 6% - 0.8%   =  5.2% or 0.052

Semi Annual YTM = 0.052 * 0.5  = 0.026

Bond Price = 31 * [( 1 - (1+0.026)^-4) / 0.026]  +  1000 / (1+0.026)^4

Bond Price = $1018.764647 rounded off to $1018.76

Change in Bond Price = 1018.76 - 1003.72   = $15.04

As a result of a fall in interest and YTM, the bond price increased by $15.04
