Business
1 answer:
Juli2301 [7.4K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Exhibits increasing returns to scale.

Explanation:

Given that,

Cobb-Douglas production​ function:

q=10(L)^{0.71}(K)^{0.84}

If both inputs are doubled, then

q=10(2L)^{0.71}(2K)^{0.84}

q=10(2)^{(0.71+0.84)}(L)^{0.71}(K)^{0.84}

q=10(2)^{1.55}(L)^{0.71}(K)^{0.84}

Therefore, this Cobb-Douglas production​ function exhibits the increasing returns to scale because the power of 2 is greater than 1. Under the condition of increasing returns to scale, an increase in the output of the firm is greater than the increase in the input of the firm.

The following per unit cost information is available: direct materials $36, direct labor $24, variable manufacturing overhead $1
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Mark−up percentage = 18.75%

Explanation:

Total manufacturing cost= Direct material + Direct labor  + Variable overhead + Fixed overhead

= $36 + $24 + $18 + $40

= $118

Hence, the total manufacturing cost is $118.

Total selling cost = Fixed selling cost + Variable selling cost

Total selling cost = $28 + $14

Total selling cost = $42

Hence, the total selling cost is $42

Total cost = Total Manufacturing cost + Total selling cost

Total cost = $118 + $42

Total cost = $160

Mark−up percentage = ROI / Total cost * 100

Mark−up percentage = $30 / $160 * 100

Mark−up percentage = 0.1875 * 100

Mark−up percentage = 18.75%

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

$8,300

Calculation for what Elroy's incremental profit or loss would be if he chooses option 2 over option 1

Using this formula

Incremental Profit of option 2 over option 1= Profit from option 1 - Profit from option 2

Let plug in the formula

Incremental Profit of option 2 over option 1= ($3,600*3)-(3*$1,100 - $800)

Incremental Profit of option 2 over option 1= $10,800 - $2,500

Incremental Profit of option 2 over option 1= $8,300

Therefore Elroy's incremental profit or loss would be if he chooses option 2 over option 1 would be $8,300

Let’s suppose you would like to buy a home for $250,000. But like most U.S. citizens, you don’t have enough cash on hand to pay
noname [10]

Answer:

1. Calculate the monthly payment for a 30-year mortgage loan.

we can do this by using the present value of an annuity formula

the loan's interest rate is missing, so I looked for a similar question and found that it is 6%

present value = monthly payment x annuity factor

monthly payment = present value / annuity factor

  • present value = $200,000 (loan's principal)
  • PV annuity factor, 0.5%, 360 periods = 166.79161

monthly payment = $200,000 / 166.79161 = $1,199.101082 ≈ <u>$1,199.10</u>

2. Calculate the amount of interest that you’d pay for a 30-year mortgage loan.

total interests paid during the 30 years = (monthly payment x 360) - principal = ($1,199.10 x 360) - $200,000 = <u>$231,676</u>
