<span>A. According to the neoclassical theory, technical progress that increases the marginal product of farmers causes their real wage to rise.
B. The real wage in (a) is measured in terms of farm goods. That is, if the nominal wage is in dollars, then the real wage is W/PF, where PF is the dollar price of farm goods.
C. If the marginal productivity of barbers is unchanged, the their real wage is unchaged.
D. The real wage in (c) is measured in terms of haircuts. That is, if the nominal wage is in dollars, then the real wage is W/PH, where PH is the dollar price of a hair-cut.
E. If workers can move freely between being farmers and being barbers, then they must be paid the same wage W in each sector.
F. If the nominal wage W is the same in both sectors, but the real wage in terms of farm goods is greater than the real wage in terms of haircuts, then the price of haircuts must have risen relative to the price of farm goods.</span>
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the increase or decrease in the net income when Alternative B should be selected rather Alternative A is given below:
<u>Particulars Alternative A Alternative B</u>
Revenue $160,000 $180,000
Less cost -$100,000 $125,000
Net income $60,000 $55,000
If we choose alternative B so there would be decrease in the net income by $5,000
Answer:
The balance in the Work in Process inventory at the month end is $60
Explanation:
Work in Progress : It is a sum of direct material, direct labor and overhead expense. It shows how much percentage of work is left in the company. The work part left in the company is called work in progress.
For computing the Job 3 work in progress, the calculation part is shown below.
= Direct material + Direct labor + overhead expense
= $30 + $10 + 200% × 10
= $30 + $10 + $20
=$60
Hence, the balance in the Work in Process inventory at the month end is $60
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Profit function would be maximised.
Profit = Revenue - Cost
Let units of both goods be = A ,B
Revenue per unit good A = 100
Revenue per unit good B = 90
Variable Cost per unit good A = 30
Variable Cost per unit good B = 25
Profit Function = (100 - 30)A + (90 - 35)B
= 60A + 65B
{The function is right without including 'average fixed cost' part of 'total cost' in the function because : average fixed cost is a constant & constant figure doesn't effect optimisation (via differentiation , ∵ d (c) = 0)
Answer:
$40,800
Explanation:
The computation of the net income is shown below:-
With regard to non-controlling interest, Lowell Corp. and the non-controlling interest divided Boston net profits proportionately to their ownership interests.
Non controlling interest share of consolidated net income = Boston net income × Remaining percentage
= $204,000 × (100% - 80%)
= $204,000 × 20%
= $40,800
Therefore for computing the Non controlling interest share of consolidated net income we simply multiply the Boston net income with remaining percentage.
