said to exhibit decreasing returns to scale. If it causes output to increase by more than 10 percent, the production function is said to exhibit increasing returns to scale. Why might a production function exhibit decreasing or increasing returns to scale?

Answer:

Because of economies and diseconomies of scale.

Explanation:

Increasing returns to scale refers to the situation when a proportionate change in input leads to more than proportionate change in output. This may happen because of economies of scale.  

Economies of scale are said to happen when the average cost of production decreases with the increase in the volume of output.  

Decreasing returns to scale refers to the situation when a proportionate change in input leads to less than proportionate change in output. This may happen because of diseconomies of scale.  

Diseconomies of scale occur when a firm experiences an increase in the average total cost as the volume of output increases.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

A lot of information is missing as well as the requirements, so I looked for similar questions.

The requirements are:

<em>a. What is the break-even point in sales dollars for RBC? </em>

<em>b. What is the margin of safety for RBC? </em>

<em>c. What sales dollars would be required to achieve an operating profit of $250.000? $490.000?</em>

<em />

a) break even point = total fixed costs / contribution margin

  • total fixed costs = $1,125,430
  • contribution margin = $1,427,642 / $1,953,000 = 73%

break even point = $1,124,430 / 73% = $1,540,315

b) margin of safety = current sales - break even point = $1,953,000 - $1,540,315 = $412,685

c) operating profit = $250,000 ⇒ ($1,125,430 + $250,000) / 73% = $1,884,150.69

operating profit = $490,000 ⇒ ($1,125,430 + $490,000) / 73% = $2,212,917.81

Anna [14]

Answer:

The answer is: C) Classical conditioning

Explanation:

Classical conditioning is a form of learning that pairs two stimuli; a conditioned stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus. That way the association of both stimuli will produce a behavioral response.

A Russian psychologist named Ivan Pavlov was the first person to develop classical conditioning theory that's why some people call it Pavlovian conditioning.

"Lluvia Manufacturing and Paraguas Products both seek funding at the lowest possible cost. Lluvia would prefer the flexibility o
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Paraguas should borrow at LIBOR + 2.000% and swap for fixed rate debt.

Lluvia should choose funding in floating rate

Explanation:

Paraguas wants the security of fixed rate borrowing; thus it should borrow at LIBOR + 2.000% and swap for fixed rate debt, in which Libor is 5.500%; their total cost at 7.5% is still lower than Fixed rate 12.0%

Lluvia prefer the flexibility of floating rate borrowing, and its rating is better; then it can enjoy lower cost of borrowing at 5%. However it may face the increase if LIBOR increase later; vice versa if LIBOR decrease, its cost of borrowing is able to reduce also.

An x-ray machine at a dental offi ce is MACRS 5-year property. The x-ray machine costs $6,000 and has an expected useful life of
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is $2,637.31.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Cost of machine = $6,000

According to MACRs table depreciation for first 3 years are as follows:

Depreciation for 1st year = 20%, for 2nd year = 32% and for 3rd year = 19.2%

So, Cost of machine after 1st year = $6,000 - 20% × $6,000 = $6,000 - $1,200

= $4,800

Cost of machine after 2nd year = $4,800 - 32% × $4,800 = $4,800 - $1,536

=  $3,264

Now, Cost of machine after 3rd year = $3,264 - 19.2% × $3,264

= $3,264 - $626.688 = $2,637.312

So, the book value at the end of three years = $2,637.31
