Answer:

Technology improves production.

Explanation:

Supply refers to the quantity of goods and services produced and offered to the market for sale.

There are several factors that could cause the supply curve to shift to the right, one of which is technology improves production. An improvement in technology will phase out manual or slow process of production hence shifts supply curve to the right.

When government increases tax on a business, if will affect the income that should have accrued to the business hence supply curve inward. An increase in input prices will affect production cost thereby shifting supply to the left. Also when there is a decline in the numbers of consumers, it will shift supply curve inward because it is these consumers that will purchase whatever that is produced and supplied to the market.

Real GDP ______. A. accurately measures leisure time and life expectancy comma but does not accurately measure the general heal

professor190 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Real GDP measure total economic output by an economy in a specific geographical boundary regardless of ownership of factors of production, within a year, ceteris paribus.

Real GDP is a good indicator but is not a perfect indicator as underground economy (private tuition whereby taxes and consumption of goods and services) are not accounted for.

Real GDP does not measure Non-Material standard of living like leisure hours, health and life expectancy... It needs other indicators.

Both B and D is a bit effy as:

For D, GDP does not even measure such Non-Material SOL

For B, GDP is not 100 percent accurate on measuring household production (local production? I believe there is no such phrasing as household production as by economics, household is involved in household spending, Contributing to Consumption expenditure in Aggregate Demand.) as there are other factors like presence of underground economy that is not accounted for.

However, B seems like the most accurate ans as it still measures national output.

A rapidly growing company just paid a dividend of $1.50 a share. For the next three years, the earnings growth rate is projected

Lelu [443]

Answer:

$41.66

Explanation:

Let us assume the dividend in year n be denoted by Dn and the Stock price by Pn

Given that,

D0 = $1.50

Now

Growth rate for next 3 years

g1 = 15%

D1 = D0 × (1 + g1)

= 1.50 × (1 + 0.15)

= 1.725

D2 = D1 × (1 + g1)

= 1.725 × (1 + 0.15)

= 1.984

D3 = D2 × (1 + g1)

= 1.984 × (1 + 0.15)

= 2.282

Subsequent Growth rate = g2 = 4%

Now

D4 = D3 × (1 + g2)

= 2.282 × (1 + 0.04)

= 2.373

So, According to Gordon's Growth Rate,

P3 = D4 ÷(r - g2)

P3 = 2.373 ÷ (0.09 - 0.04)

= $47.46

Now

Value of Stock now is

= P0

= D1 ÷ (1 + r) + D2 ÷ (1 + r)^2 + D3 ÷ (1 + r)^3 + P3 ÷ (1 + r )^3

= 1.725 ÷ (1 + 0.09) + 1.984 ÷ (1 + 0.09)^2 + 2.282 ÷ (1 + 0.09)^3 + 47.46 ÷ (1 + 0.09)^3

= $41.66

The company uses the absorption costing approach to cost-plus pricing described in the text. The pricing calculations are based

son4ous [18]

Answer:

$81.96 per unit

Explanation:

For computing the selling price using the absorption costing approach we need to do the following calculations which are shown below:

Unit Product Cost = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead

= $26.50 + 15.50 + 3.70 + [$156,71,400 ÷ 97,000 Units]

= $26.50 + 15.50 + $3.70 + $16.20

= $61.90

Now

Selling and administrative expenses is

=$1,540,000 + [97,000 Units × $3.60]

= $1,540,000 + 349,200

= $1,889,200

And,

Markup on absorption cost

= [(Investment × Return on Investment) + Selling and administrative expenses] ÷ (Number of units × unit product cost)

= [($380,000 × 15%) + 1,889,200] / [97,000 × $61.90]

= $19,46,200 ÷ 60,04,300

= 0.3241 or 32.41%

So,

The selling price based on the absorption costing approach

= Unit product cost × (1 + Markup on absorption cost)

= $61.90 per unit × (1 + 0.3241)

= $81.96 per unit

Total costs for Locke & Company at 120 comma 000 units are $ 329 comma 000, while total fixed costs are $ 175 comma 000. T

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

For 260,000 units Variable Costs are = $ 154,000/120,000 * 260,000= $1.2833* 260,000= $ 333,667

Explanation:

Locke & Company

Total costs $ 329, 000

Less Fixed Costs $ 175, 000

Variable Costs $ 154,000 for 120,000 units

For 1 unit Variable Costs are = $ 154,000/120,000= $1.2833

For 260,000 units Variable Costs are = $ 154,000/120,000 * 260,000= $1.2833* 260,000= $ 333,667

The total Costs for 260,000 units would be determined by adding Variable Costs and Fixed Costs.

We Suppose the fixed costs are same then = 333,667 + 175,000= $ 508,667
