Each operator works eight hours per​ day, five days per week at the rate of ​$14 per hour. In other​ words, the rental and labor expenses are fixed costs. The material cost for the make option is ​$15 per unit of product A. a. Find a weekly amount of product A that provides the breakeven point for the firm. The breakeven point in this problem indicates the​ firm's indifference between purchasing or making product A. b.

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

For the purchase​ option:

Buying price= ​$22 per unit.

For the make​ option:

Weekly rental payment of ​$30,800

The firm also has to hire five operators to help make product A. Each operator works eight hours per​ day, five days per week at the rate of ​$14 per hour.

The material cost for the make option is ​$15 per unit of product A.

A) We need to find the number of units that makes the unitary fixed costs= $7

Weekly rental= 30800

Direct labor= ($14*8 hours*5workes)*5 days= 2800

Total fixed costs= $33,600

Unitary fixed costs= total fixed costs/ Q

7=33600/Q

Q= 4800 units

B) Now Q= 6600

Buy= 6600*22= $145,200

Make= 6600*15 + 33600= $132,600

During a presidential campaign, the incumbent argues that he should be reelected because nominal GDP grew by 12 percent during h
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Grew by 2%

Explanation:

Given: nominal GDP =12% positive value cause it grew by 12% during these years.

              Population grew by 4%

              GDP deflator = 6% positive value cause it also grew by 6%

Question says we must find real GDP per person for the 4 year term that the president has served for so we will use the formula to calculate GDP Deflator to actually solve for Real GDP as we know the formula is GDP Deflator= (nominal GDP per person%)/(Real GDP per person%)x100

So we already have the nominal GDP and the GDP deflator therefore we substitute to the above formula:

6% = (12%)/ (Real GDP per person percentage) x100, and now we solve for Real GDP per person%

Therefore we multiply both sides with Real GDP percentage and get:

Real GDP per person %( 6%) = 12% and then we divide both sides with 6%,

Therefore Real GDP is 2% so we also see that real GDP has actual grown by 2% because the GDP deflator grew instead of decreasing where nominal GDP is also positive so if we have a fraction where an answer is positive we know both fraction values must be positive pus if the GDP deflator increases both nominal and Real GDP increase and that’s the relationship they have.

The real per capita GDP in country X is 4 times of that in country Y. The annual growth rate in country X is 2.33%, while in cou
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

It will take 30 years for country Y’s GDP to catch up with that of country X

Explanation:

In this question. We are asked to calculate the number of years it will take a certain country Y to catch up with the GDP of a certain country X, given the annual growth rate in both countries.

We calculate the number of years as follows;

Firstly, we assign a variable to the value of the real GDP of country Y

let real

Let the real GDP of the country Y be n. This means that the GDP of country C will be 4 * n = 4n

With a 7% growth rate annual, country Y's Real GDP will be doubled in 70/7 = 10 years and;

With annual growth rate of 2.33% ,country x's Real GDP doubles in 70/2.33 = 30 years.(Approx)

Now in next 30 years x's Real GDP will be = 2x4n = 8n

and Y's Real GDP in next 30 years will be = 2x2x2xn = 8n.

thus , it will take 30 years to country Y to catch up to the level of country x.

Grace [21]

Answer:

Fixed costs = $13,000

Variable costs = $450,000

Explanation:

Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with production. In this question, they are rent payments and monthly payments on meat packaging equipment.

Fixed cost = $10,000 + $3,000 = $13,000

Variable costs are costs that vary with production. In this question, they are the cost of purchase of raw meat, wages and fuel costs.

Variable costs = ($20 + $90 + $40) × 3000 = $450,000

I hope my answer helps you.

: Based on the corporate valuation model, Wang Inc.'s total corporate value is $750 million. Its balance sheet shows $100 millio
Leni [432]

Answer:

450 million is the firm’s value of equity

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the best estimate for the firm’s value of equity in millions.

To calculate this, we proceed as follows;

Mathematically;

Firm’s value of equity= [(Total corporate Value - (Notes payable + Long term debt)]

From the question, we identify the total corporate value as 750 million, the notes payable as 100 million and a long term debt of 200 million

Now, plugging these into the equation above, we have ;

Firm’s value of equity = 750 million - (100 million + 200 million) = 750 million - 300 million = 450 million
