A farmer plans to plant two crops, A and B. The cost of cultivating Crop A is $40/acre whereas the cost of cultivating Crop B is

$60/acre. The farmer has a maximum of $7400 available for land cultivation. Each acre of Crop A requires 20 labor-hours, and each acre of Crop B requires 25 labor-hours. The farmer has a maximum of 3300 labor-hours available. If she expects to make a profit of $170/acre on Crop A and $210/acre on Crop B, how many acres of each crop, x and y, respectively, should she plant in order to maximize her profit?

Answer:

We will plant 165 of Crop A

Explanation:

We will compare the marginal contribution for each crop:  A   B

Profit:                170.00     210

cost of cultivating:  40.00       60

CM per constrain      4.25            3.50

Crop A is better regarding cultivating cost.

Now we analize the labor hours:

Profit:                      170     210

Labor hours per crop 20       25

CM per constrain      8.50       8.40

Because Crop A is better at both constrain resource It will be better to plant only Crop A if possible. As assigning to Crop B will diminish the return on the scarce resourse.

We will see how much can we plant of Crop A

7400 / 40 = 185

3300 / 20 = 165

We will plant 165 of Crop A

which is the maximun we can plant at the given labor hours.

Tom, Mary and Jill have apartments in the same building. A security system for their building costs $750. Tom is willing to pay
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: The efficient outcome is to have the security system installed. After the meeting the security system will <em><u>be installed</u></em>, which illustrates the <em><u>free rider problem.</u></em>

Free rider is the burden on resource which is been shared, the problem is created by its usage or over-exploitation by individual who aren't paying their fair share.

∴ Here Tom is a free rider. i.e. He is willing to pay $100 where he should've paid $250.

You are a U.S.-based treasurer with $1,000,000 to invest. The dollar-euro exchange rate is quoted as $1.50 = €1.00 and the dolla
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is (B) Buy euro at $1.50/€, buy £ at €1.25/£, sell £ at $2/£

Explanation:

The dollar- euro exchange rate is quoted as $1.50 = €1.00

the dollar-pound exchange rate is quoted at $2.00 = £1.00

To calculate the actual cross rate we use; S(euro divided by pounds) =  S(dollar/pounds) ÷ S(dollar/euro).

Using symbols to denote this, we have S(€/£) = S($/£) / S($/€)

S(€/£) = S(2/1) ÷ S(1.50/1)

= (2 / 1.5)

= €1.33.

Consequently, from this result we now know that the euro is undervalued with respect to pounds under the cross rate being offered by the bank. This implies that you should first buy the euro, convert to pounds, and eventually convert back to dollars, this would enable you make money as an investor.

During its first year of operations, Silverman Company paid $12,385 for direct materials and $10,600 for production workers' wag
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Finished goods inventory final balance= 12, 495

Explanation:

PRODUCTION COST COMPONENTS

  • Direct materials 12,385  
  • Direct work 10,600  
  • Lease and utilities 9,600

TOTAL PRODUCTION COST = 32,585

TOTAL UNITS PRODUCED = 6,650

UNIT COST= (Total Production Cost / Total Units Produced) = 32,585 / 6,650 = 4.9  

FINAL GOODS INVENTORY = (Total Units Produced – Total Units Sales) = 6,650 – 4,100 = 2,250

FINAL GOODS INVENTORY AMOUNT = (Final goods Inventory * Unit Cost) = 2,250 * 4.9 = 12,495
