Answer:

C) 50

Explanation:

The additional output produced as a result of employing an additional unit of the variable factor input is called the Marginal Product.

Here we have to calculate the number of additional guests that can be served by the third waiter or marginal product of the third waiter.

Marginal Product of the third waiter = Number of guests served by 3 waiters -  Number of guests served by 2 waiters  

Marginal Product of the third waiter = 120 guests - 70 guests = 50 guests.

Hence, the marginal product of the third waiter is 50 guests.

A revenue tariff is designed to assist more efficient domestic producers, whereas a protective tariff is designed to promote imp
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Revenue tariff means increasing earnings. It will raise government revenue instead of protecting domestic ventures. It is a direct income in the form of tax to obtain from corporate revenues.

On the other hand, protective tariffs are designed to protect domestic producers. It protects local manufacturers by imposing a heavy duty on imported products, which enables the products to become less attractive. Therefore, the aim is to reduce imports.

Suppose that Spain and Denmark both produce jeans and olives. Spain's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 3 pairs
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

b. 6 pairs of jeans per crate of olives; and

c. 4 pairs of jeans per crate of olives

Explanation:

                 Olives       Jeans      Trade off Ratio (Olives:Jeans)

Spain            1               3            1:3 or 0.33:1       (1/3 = 0.33)

Denmark      1              11            1:11 or 0.09:1     (1/11= 0.09)

Spain & Denmark have less opportunity cost & hence comparative advantage than each other,  in Olive & Jeans respectively.

Spain will export Olives to Denmark (importer). Denmark will export Jeans to Spain (Importer). Trade will be gainful if they get exchange ratio better than domestic exchange ratio.

  • '2 jeans pairs per olive crate' not gainful trade ratio for Spain, as it is getting more i.e 3 jeans pair per olive crate at its own domestic ratio.
  • '13 jeans per olive' not gainful for Denmark, as 0.07 = (1/13) olive per jeans is worse than its own domestic ratio i.e 0.09 = (1/11) olive per jeans  

'4 jeans pairs per olive crate'  is gaining trade ratio for:

  • Spain: As it gets 4 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
  • Denmark : As it gets 0.25 = (1/4) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans

'6 jeans pairs per olive crate' is gaining trade ratio for:

  • Spain: As it gets 6 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
  • Denmark : As it gets 0.16 = (1/6) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans

Both of them are gainful trade ratios, but:

  • 1olive:4 jeans is more gainful for Denmark, as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (0.25 is more > 0.09 than 4 > 3).  
  • 1olive:6jeans is more gainful for Spain as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (6 is more > 3 than 0.16 > 0.09)

The following costs and useful life data are associated with two new machines being considered at Arun Tech Inc.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Machine B has a higher NPV therefore should be produced

Explanation:

The machine with the higher Net Present Value (NPV) should be produced .

NPV of Machine A

PV of cash flow

PV of annual profit = A × (1- (1+r)^*(-n)/r

A- 92,000, n- 11, r- 12%

PV = 92,000 × (1- (1.12^(-11)/0.12 = 546268.32

PV of salvage value = 13,000× 1.12^(-11)= 3737.189

NPV =  546268.320 + 3737.189  -250,000 = $300,005.50

NPV of Machine B

A- 103,00, n- 19, r- 12%

PV = 103,000 × (1- (1.12^(-19)/0.12= 758675.0165

Pv of salvage value = 26000× 1.12^(-19)= 3018.776199

NPV =758675.0165  + 3018.77  -460,000 = $301,693.79

Machine B has a higher NPV , therefore should be produced.

What is the approximate present value of $1 that will be paid to you in 3 years if the interest rate were 5 percent?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The present value is $0.86.-

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future Value (FV)= $1

Number of periods (n)= 3 years

Interest rate (i)= 5% = 0.05

<u>To calculate the present value (PV), we need to use the following formula:</u>

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 1/(1.05^3)

PV= $0.8634

The present value is $0.86.-
