Answer: 44,000 square feet.

Explanation:

If we are assuming use of the direct method, we can find out how the building maintenance cost will be allocated using the following formula,

Building Maintenance cost square feet allocation = Square Footage of Machining + Square Footage of Assembly

Slotting in the figures we have,

= 18,000 + 26,000

= 44,000 square feet.

The Building Maintenance cost will be allocated over 44,000 square feet.

ycow [4]

Answer: 4 containers

Explanation:

The formula used to get the number of containers that are needed will be:

N = DT(1+X)/C

where,

N = total containers

D = planned usage rate used by the work center = 111 parts per hour

T = average waiting time = 100 minutes = 100/60 hours = 1.67 hours

X = inefficiency factor = 0.21

C = capacity of standard container = 5 dozens = 5 × 12 = 60 parts

N = DT(1+X)/C

N = (111 × 1.67)(1 + 0.21)/60

N = (185.37 × 1.21)/60

N = 224.2977/60

N = 3.738

N = 4 approximately

4 containers will be needed

A competitive firm currently produces and sells 7,500 units of output at a price of $2.50 per unit. The firm's average fixed cos
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

A. $-2,250

B. The firm should continue to operate in the short run because price is greater than average variable cost

C.The firm should exit in the long run because it is making losses

D. In the long run, prices would increase because in a competitive firm, price must equal average cost. As firms exit the industry, supply would fall and this would lead to an excess of demand over supply. As a result, price would rise

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

Profit = Total revenue - Total cost

( $2.50 -  $2.80) × 7,500 = $-2,250

The firm is earning a loss

A firm should shutdown in the short run if price is less than average variable cost.

Average variable cost = average total cost- average total cost

 $2.80 - $0.75 = $2.05

2.50 > 2.05 so the firm should continue to operate in the short run.

The firm should exit in the long run because it is making losses

In the long run, prices would increase because in a competitive firm, price must equal average cost

I hope my answer helps you.

A coin sold at auction in 2017 for $1,965,500. The coin had a face value of $5 when it was issued in 1794 and had previously bee
aksik [14]

Answer:

0.0642 or 6.42%

Explanation:

The period 't' between the year when the coin was issued, 1794, and 1971 is:

t=1971-1794 \\t=177\ years

If the coin had a value of $5 and after a period of t=177 years it was worth $305,000, the annual tax rate by which the coin appreciated is determined by:

305,000 = 5*(1+r)^{177}\\r=\sqrt[177]{61,000}-1\\r=0.0642=6.42\%

The annual rate was 0.0642 or 6.42%.
