Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

The fixed costs refer to that part of the cost of production which is not affected by the volume of activity. The total fixed cost remains constant in the entire production process.

The fixed cost per unit is the ratio of total fixed costs and the level of output. It increases with a decrease in level of activity.

The variable cost is the cost incurred on the variable inputs employed in the process of production. As the level of activity declines the number of variable factors employed will also decline. This will cause the total variable cost to decrease.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning finished goods inventory of $20,000

The cost of goods manufactured during the month was $120,000

Ending finished goods inventory was $50,000

To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

COGS= 20,000 + 120,000 - 50,000= $90,000

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The magnitude of the deadweight loss resulting from the externality is shown below:

MC = 500 + 2Q

MEC = 40 + 2Q

Therefore, the Marginal social cost (MSC) will be:

= MC + MEC

= 500 + 2Q + 40 + 2Q

= 540 + 4Q

Since Demand: Q = 150,000 - 100P, we have to get a function for P which will be:

Q = 150,000 - 100P

100P = 150,000 - Q

P = (150,000 - Q)/100

P = 1,500 - 0.01Q

Total revenue, TR = P x Q

= (1,500 - 0.01Q) × Q

= 1500Q - 0.01Q²

Marginal revenue, MR will be:

= dTR / dQ

= 1,500 - 0.02Q

It should be noted that for when there's no externality, Equilibrium, MC must be equal to MR. Therefore,

1,500 - 0.02Q = 500 + 2Q

2Q + 0.02Q = 1500 - 500

2.02Q = 1,000

Q = 1000/2.02

Q = 495

P = 1,500 - (0.01 x 495)

= 1,500 - 4.95

= 1,495.05

When there's externality, Equilibrium will be:

MR = MSC

1,500 - 0.02Q = 540 + 4Q

4.02Q = 960

Q= 960/4.02

Q = 239

Therefore, P = 1,500 - (0.01 x 239)

= 1,500 - 2.39

= 1,497.61

Then, we will calculate the deadweight loss which will be:

= 1/2 x Difference in price x Difference in quantity

= 1/2 x (1,497.61 - 1,495.05) x (495 - 239)

= 1/2 x 2.56 x 256

= 327.68

How long will it take for the dollar's purchasing power to be 3/4ths of what it is now, if the general inflation rate is expecte

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

5.61 years

Explanation:

Let the Present value be 'x'

Data provided in the question:

Future value = $\frac{3}{4}x$

Inflation rate, i = 5% = 0.05

Now,

Using the compounding

let number of years be n

thus,

Future value = Present value × [ 1 - inflation rate ]ⁿ

$\frac{3}{4}x$ = x × (1 - 0.05)ⁿ

0.75 = 0.95ⁿ

on taking log on both the sides , we get

log(0.75) = n × log(0.95)

-0.125 = n × (-0.0223)

n = 5.61 years

or, n = 11.89 years
