Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

A production possibility curve shows the different bundles of maximum possible two goods that can be produced using the given resources. The production possibility curve is concave to the origin.  

This shape of the curve is because of opportunity cost. We know that to increase the production of one commodity we need to sacrifice production of its alternative.  

The resources can not be perfectly substituted and the opportunity cost goes on increasing with the increase in output, that's why the production possibility curve is bowed out or concave to the origin.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

D) being original

Explanation:

An advertising copy is the main text or phrase used in an advertisement.

The copy used in this commercial is original, specially given the context. Generally advertisements show the product that is being advertised, not a substitute product (cow meat is substitute to chicken meat). This ad tries to be funny in showing that cows prefer people eating chicken instead of them.

The cob Douglas production function is given by Q(K,L)=AK^1.4*L^1.6
Alexeev081 [22]

Part a) The Cob Douglas production function is given as:

Q(K,L)=AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } .

To show that this function is homogeneous with degree 3, we introduce be a parameter, t.

Q(tK,tL)=A(tK)^{1.4} (tL)^ {1.6 } .

Using properties of exponents, we on tinder:

Q(tK,tL)=At^{1.4}K^{1.4} t^ {1.6 }L^ {1.6 } .

This implies that:

Q(tK,tL)=t^{1.4} \times t^ {1.6 }(AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } )

Q(tK,tL)=t^{1.4 + 1.6}(AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } )

Simplify the exponent of t to get;

Q(tK,tL)=t^{3}(AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } )

Hence the function is homogeneous with degree, 3

Part b) To verify Euler's Theorem, we must show that:

K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L}=3AK^{1.4}L^{1.6}

Verifying from the left:

K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =K(1.4AK^{0.4} L^{1.6}) + L(1.6AK^{1.4} L^{0.6})

K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =1.4(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6}) + 1.6(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6})

K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =(1.4 +  1.6)(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6})

K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =3(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6})

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Retained Earnings Balance at end of Year 1 =  $360

Explanation:

First we need to determine the profit/loss for the year as part of the retained earnings calculation.

Lexington Company

Income Statement for the year ended - Year 1

Revenue Earned                                                $3,200

Less Expenses                                                  ($2,420)

Net Income / (Loss)                                               $780

Then we calculate the Retained Earnings Balance

Retained Earnings Statement

Beginning Retained Earnings Balance                  $ 0

Add Profit earned during the year                      $780

Less Dividends                                                   ($420)

Ending Retained Earnings Balance                    $360

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

budgeted costs for direct​ materials

  • $88,000

budgeted direct manufacturing​ labor

  • $132,000

budgeted manufacturing​ overhead

  • $18,480

Explanation:

Direct materials costs are $4.00 per pool cue.

Direct manufacturing labor is $6.00​ per pool cue.

Manufacturing overhead is $0.84 per pool cue.

total budgeted direct materials = 22,000 x $4 = $88,000

total budgeted direct labor = 22,000 x $6 = $132,000

total budgeted manufacturing overhead = 22,000 x $0.84 = $18,480

The information about the beginning and ending inventories is not relevant to this question since it only deals with budgeted or estimated costs which may or may not differ from actual costs.
