A company has a factory that is designed so that it is most efficient (average unit cost is minimized) when producing 19,200 uni

ts of output each month. However, it has an absolute maximum output capability of 23,000 units per month, and can produce as little as 7,000 units per month without corporate headquarters shifting production to another plant. If the factory produces 13,280 units in October, what is the capacity utilization rate in October for this factory?

Answer:

69.17%

Explanation:

The capacity utilization rate measures how much actual output is being produced compared to the maximum output capability of the factory or machine, or in this case, the most efficient output.

It is calculated by dividing current output by maximum possible output = 13,280 units / 19,200 units = 0.6917 x 100 = 69.17%. It is generally shown as a percentage.

In this case, we are not using the total potential output (23,000 units) because the most efficient level is lower (19,200 units) and should generate higher profits.

When Bill's Diner moves from the production combination of 35 burgers and 25 hotdogs to the combination of 25 burgers and 65 hot
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

<h2>In the context of Consumer Theory or Indifference Curve involving two goods,the opportunity of any one good is computed by how much of the other good is foregone or sacrificed to purchase one more unit of that particular good.</h2>

Explanation:

  • In this instance,when Bill's diner consumes 35 burgers and 25 hotdogs,its opportunity cost of additional hot dog=\frac{35}{25} =\frac{7}{5}=1.4.Therefore,initially Bill diner's opportunity cost of an additional hot dog is 1.4 units of burger.
  • Now,when Bill's diner chooses to consume a combination of 25 burgers and 65 hot dogs,its opportunity cost of additional hot dogs=\frac{25}{65} =\frac{5}{13} =0.385 approximately.Hence,Bill's diner is willing to sacrifice approximately 0.385 units of burger to consume an additional unit of hot dog.
  • Now,due to the change in consumption combination,the change in opportunity cost of additional hot dog=(1.4-0.385)=1.015 units of burger.Notice,that here the opportunity cost of additional hot dog decreased from 1.4 units of burger to 0.385 units of burger as Bill's diner changed the consumption combination of both burgers and hot dogs.

A deadweight loss is a consequence of a tax on a good because the tax a. induces the government to increase its expenditures. b.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

B) induces buyers to consume less, and sellers to produce less.

Explanation:

Taxes are a necessary evil since they always increase the price of the goods and services that consumers buy and decrease the amount of money that producers receive from selling their goods and services. But taxes are necessary and unavoidable.

But once a market assumes all the effects of existing taxes it reaches an equilibrium price that both consumers and producers are satisfied with. If a new tax is levied than the deadweight losses are greater since consumer surplus and producer surplus are both reduced. This will lead to a reduction in the incentive that both consumers and producers have to engage in transactions. Many times consumers will substitute heavily taxed goods for other goods since they feel they are getting more from consuming those goods (consumer surplus). The same happens to producers, many producers will change their heavily taxed goods for other goods.

If the price elasticity of demand or supply of a certain good is large (elastic demand and supply), the deadweight loss will be greater.
