Business
1 answer:
s344n2d4d5 [400]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The average American’s real income today is about four times what it was in <u>1960</u>.  Average lifetime lengths have increased by <u>12%</u>,  the number of hours worked per week has decreased by <u>17%</u> ,  and homes have <u>more than</u> doubled in size.

Explanation;

Economic data shows that Americans make on average, about 4 times what they were making in real income in 1960 due to exponential economic growth.

At the same time, Americans are also living a longer life by 12% on average than in 1960 when the life expectancy was around 70 years. Today it is around 78 years.

Americans are also working fewer hours than their 1960 counterparts because where in 1960 they worked for an average of 50 hours a week, recently that number hovers around 40 hours a week.

Houses built are also larger than they were in the '60s as income has increased and preferences have changed.

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $10,160 a year

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Ivanhoe Company purchased a new machine on October 1, 2017, for $77,980. The company estimated that the machine has a salvage value of $6,860. The machine is expected to be used for 72,900 working hours during its 7-year life.

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (77,980 - 6,860)/7= $10,160 a year

Assume that a state government currently provides no child-care subsidies to working single parents, but it now wants to adopt a
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The line on the graph will be parallel to the pre-subsidy line and the new constraint will then be equal to the points connecting the two lines.

Explanation:

The subsidy by government to single parents is $3 per hour for up to 8 hours. The total of subsidy will be $16 for each day. The labor force who were not receiving the subsidy before had steep indifference curve but now few workers will find utility maximization with flatter indifference curve so the workers will join the subsidy program.

Given the total fixed-cost curve in gray and the total variable-cost curve in color, draw the total cost curve. Three points on
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

TFC : Horizontal Line parallel to X axis

TVC : Upward sloping inverse S shape curve from origin

TC : Upward sloping increase S shape curve, with Y axis intercept = TFC

Explanation:

Total Fixed cost [TFC] is the total production expenditure, done on fixed factors of production (Eg - on machine, building etc). It is incurred even at zero level of output, stays same (constant) irrespective of output level. So, it's curve is a  constant horizontal line.

Total Variable Cost [TVC] is the total production expenditure, done on variable factors of production (Eg - on raw material). It is zero at zero level of output,  directly related to level of output thereafter. It first increases at a decreasing rate, then increases at an increasing rate. So, it's curve is inverse S upward sloping curve from origin.

Total Cost [TC] is the total cost incurred on all factors of production (fixed & variable). It is sum of TVC & TFC. As TFC is constant at all levels of output, TC changes due to change in TVC. So, TC is also directly related to output level, first increases at increasing rate & then at decreasing rate. Hence, it is also a inverse S upward sloping curve. But, it also includes constant TFC. So, the curve has intercept on Y axis = TFC (it doesn't start from origin).
