Driehaus Manufacturing intends to increase capacity through the addition of new equipment. Two vendors have presented proposals.

The fixed cost for proposal A is $62,000, and for proposal B, $35,000. The variable cost for A is $11, and for B, $14. The revenue generated by each unit is $20. a. What is the crossover point in units for the two options? b. At an expected volume of 8,300 units, which alternative should be chosen?

Answer:

A. The crossover point in units is 9000 units

B. Alternate B or Proposal B should be chosen

Explanation:

a.

Let x be the number of units.

The profit equation for option 1 can be written as (20-11)x - 62000

The profit equation for option 2 can be written as (20-14)x - 35000

The crossover point is where both optons yield equal profit thus equation 1 = equation 2.

(20-11)x - 62000 = (20-14)x - 35000

9x - 62000 = 6x - 35000

9x - 6x = 62000 - 35000

3x = 27000

x = 27000 / 3

x = 9000 units

b.

At 8300units,

Profit from proposal A is = 9(8300) - 62000 = 12700

Profit from proposal B is = 6(8300) - 35000 = 14800

Thus option B is more profitable at this unit.

Why is compounding interest monthly better than yearly ?
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

More interest payments on yearly computing.

Explanation:

It is generally said that if you can get monthly annual payments compared to yearly payments take it without a thought. This statement explains a lot; normally month payments are not available, but in some case they are. In annual payments, 12 months are compounded that is why it is higher rate compared to monthly. So, monthly payments are preferred

Suppose France can produce four phones or three computers with one unit of labor, and Sweden can produce one phone or two comput
lesya [120]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

France can produce four phones or three computers:

Opportunity cost of producing one phone = (3 ÷ 4)

                                                                      = 0.75 computers

Opportunity cost of producing one computer = (4 ÷ 3)

                                                                      = 1.33 phones

Sweden can produce one phone or two computers:

Opportunity cost of producing one phone = (2 ÷ 1)

                                                                      = 2 computers

Opportunity cost of producing one computer = (1 ÷ 2)

                                                                      = 0.5 phones

Therefore,

France has a comparative advantage in producing phones because of the lower opportunity cost of producing it than Sweden. France should specialize in producing phones and import computers from Sweden.

Sweden has a comparative advantage in producing computers because of the lower opportunity cost of producing it than France. Sweden should specialize in producing computers and import phones from France.

Consider the following data for a closed economy:
notsponge [240]

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

a. . Private saving

Private saving=Y+TR-C-T

= $11t + $1t - $8t - $3t

= $12 trillion - $11 trillion

= $1 trillion

b. Public saving

Public Saving= T-G-TR

Since G is not given, we can use:

I = public saving + private saving

$2t = public savings + $1t

Public saving= $2 trillion - $1 trillion

Public savings = $1 trillion

c. Goverment purchases

Since public savings = T - G - TR

$1t = $3t - G - $1t

G = $3t - $1t - $1t

G = $3 trillion - $2 trillion

G = $1 trillion

d. The goverment budget deficit or budget surplus.

There is a budget surplus of $1 trillion which has been calculated in the public savings.

To solve this problem, we first make a chart that shows the spending pattern of $90 million over 23 years.



$90 million at 11% = [math]\frac{90 \times 1.11^{23}}{100}=903.478[/math]. The future worth at the end of the 23-year is approximately $903,478.



Since the problem does not provide a standard amount of time that people usually use to measure interest rates, we can infer that this rate should be 10% per year.



Using 10% per year instead of 11%:

$90 million at 10% = [math]\frac{90 \times 1.10^{23}}{100}=897.507[/math]. The future worth at the end of the 23-year is approximately $897,507.



Since the total amount that was spent on development over a period of 23 years is $90 million and the answer in our problem has to be in millions, we have to adjust the amount.



$90 million x 100 = $9 billion. The future worth at the end of the 23-year is approximately 9 billion dollars.
