Answer;
<span>Combination of two goods that can be produced using limited resources</span>
Explanation;
A production possibilities curve is a graphical representation of the alternative combinations of goods and services an economy can produce. Considering the fact that an economy's factors of production are scarce; they can not produce an unlimited quantity of goods and services, a production curve is crucial in determining the alternative combinations of goods and services. For example if the curve is a straight line, it means the for every unit of good y relinquished, an additional unit of good x can be produced.
Answer:
B. more than zero if no products were made and would then increase in direct proportion to output
Explanation:
Semi-fixed Cost will be "more than zero if no products were made and would then increase in direct proportion to output."
This is because a semi-fixed cost also known as semi-variable cost or mixed cost is a combination of both a fixed factor and a variable factor.
Such that if production was zero some costs would still be incurred. However, as output rises, the variable part of the costs will rise in direct proportion to output.
Answer:
B. Currently used manufacturing capacity that has alternative uses
Explanation:
Make or buy decision is the process involved in determining whether to produce a product in house or purchase it from an external supplier.
Manufacturing Capacity is described as the production capability of an object in a manufacturing process. The object could be an operator, a machine or even a work center. Every resource in a manufacturing process has its determinable capacity and this is a relevant cost to consider when determing whether to produce or buy a product.
Looking at the definition, it is clear that current capacity of manufacturing with alternative uses is important. In other words, it is very crucial to be able to determine the cost of using the current manufacturing capacity to either make the product in house and then weigh this cost against the cost of using the same manufacturing capacity to manufacture an alternate product.
It stands to reason, (although other costs are weighed) that the product production (current or alternate) that can be manufactured at a lesser cost should be chosen and this is a very crucial decision in a make-or-buy decision.
Looking at the other options, the golden rule is that any cost that is not a direct cost to the manufactur of a product in house or its outsourcing should be ignored in making the decision.
Answer:
$81,000
Explanation:
Segment margin is derived by deducting all expenses that are directly traceable to the segment and it does not include corporate common expenses.
Particulars Amount
Contribution $132,000 [33,000*(8-4)]
Less: Direct fixed cost <u>($51,000)</u>
Segment Margin <u>$81,000</u>
So, Carter's segment margin for the West Division is $81,000.
Answer:
The correct answer is option B.
Explanation:
An influx of new firms in the market would result in an increase in the supply in the market as a whole. With a rightward shift in the market supply curve, the price level will decline. The market share of each firm in the market will decline. With the reduction in price, Sammie will reduce supply or in other words cut back the number of shoes he shines.
