Answer:

$0.1  

Explanation:

The per unit cost of a production is the sum of variable cost and fixed cost divided by the total number of units produced. The per unit cost is given by the formula:

Per unit cost = (Variable cost + Fixed cost) / Number of units produced

Variable cost = Cost of raw material = Units of raw material × Cost of each unit of raw material = 5 units × $4/unit = $20

Fixed cost = Cost of labor + Capital =(Units of capital × Cost of each unit of capital) + (Units of labor × Cost of each unit of labor)  = (8 units × $3/unit) + (2 units × $10/unit) = $24 + $20 = $44

Variable cost + Fixed cost = $20 + $44 = $64

Per-unit cost of production = (Variable cost + Fixed cost) / Total output = $64 / 640 = $0.1

An appraiser is adjusting the price of comparables to use them in his report. Comparable A is a three-bedroom house with an in-g
shepuryov [24]

Answer: $15,000

Explanation:

Comparable B is a 4 bedroom house with no swimming pool right.

Okay.

And we also know that a room adds $20,000 to the value of a house as well.

So if Comparable B was a 3 bedroom house instead of a 4 then what would it be?

= $280,000 - $20,000

= $260,000

The means that a house with no swimming pool such as Comparable B but with 3 bedrooms will be valued at $260,000.

But instead Comparable A has a 3 bedrooms yet is valued at $275,000 with the only apparent difference being a swimming pool. The pool therefore accounts for the difference which is,

= 275,000 - 260,000

= $15,000

This means that $15,000 is the value of the pool.

Your college newspaper, The Collegiate Investigator, has fixed production costs of $76 per edition and marginal printing and dis
REY [17]

Answer:

Associated cost = 0.42x + 76

Revenue = $0.62x

Profit  function = 0.20x - 76

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Fixed production costs = $76 per edition

Marginal printing and distribution costs = 42¢ per copy = $0.42

Selling cost = 62¢ per copy. = $0.62

Now,

Associated cost = mx + b

here,

m is the marginal cost

x is the number of copies

b is the fixed cost

Thus,

Associated cost = 0.42x + 76

Revenue = Selling cost × Number of copies

= $0.62x

Profit  function = Revenue - Associated cost

= $0.62x - ( 0.42x + 76 )

= $0.62x - 0.42x - 76

= 0.20x - 76
