Answer:
B) Increases profits by $700.
Explanation:
We must perform an incremental analysis of the costs and revenues generated by the alternative course of action which is offering the package:
Current income:
ballroom rent $4,500
<u>extras $800</u>
total current income = $5,300
Alternative action income:
wedding package $6,000
opportunity cost ballroom rent $4,500
<u>opportunity cost extras $800 </u>
net income increase = $700
Answer:
latter, latter
Explanation:
Property rights system determine how economic resources are used and owned by individuals, associations, collectives, or governments.
It also includes intellectual property such as inventions or ideas.
Such rights reduce destructive competition for control of economic resources. and replace this competition by peaceful means.
In a system where people are allowed to keep one-third of the monetary rewards of their labor with a system in which they keep two-thirds, we should expect more entrepreneurship under the <u>latter</u> system and faster real economic growth under the <u>latter</u> system.
Answer:
Jennifer earned an accounting profit of $1,000 and economic loss of $26,000
Explanation:
Total revenue for Jennifer is $39,000.
Explicit costs incurred is $38,000.
The implicit cost or opportunity cost involved is $27,000.
Accounting profit takes into account explicit costs only. It does not include implicit costs involved in the production process.
Jennifer has earned an accounting profit of
= Total revenue - Explicit costs
= $39,000 - $38,000
= $1,000
Economic profit takes into account the explicit cost as well as implicit cost.
The economic profit earned
= Total revenue - Total costs
= $39,000 - ($38,000 + $27,000)
= - $26,000

Explanation:</h3><h3>Part (a):</h3>
Solved part is attached as an image.
<h3>
Part (b):</h3>
Let us first determine the amount required of each item to produce 1 bracket.
From the attached diagram, we can see that to manufacture 1 bracket, quantity of each item needed is,
Base = 1
Spring = 2
Clamp = 1 + 4 = 5
Housing = 2
Handle = (1 * 1) + (4 * 1) = 5
Casting = (1 * 1) + (4 * 1) = 5
Bearing = 2 * 2 = 4
Shaft = 2 * 1 = 2
Hence, for 50 Brackets, quantity of each item required will be,
Base = 1 * 50 = 50
Spring = 2 * 50 = 100
Clamp = 5 * 50 = 250
Housing = 2 * 50 = 100
Handle = 5 * 50 = 250
Casting = 5 * 50 = 250
Bearing = 4 * 50 = 200
Shaft = 2 * 50 = 100
<em>NOTE: The above quantities give exclusive quantities required for each item. In actual practice, we won't have to purchase base, clamp & housing separately as the will be assembled from their components which are already procured.</em>
<h3>Part (c):</h3>
As 25 bases are already in stock, parts for them will not be needed. I will refer the quantities subtracted due to this by indicating (B). Similarly, quantities subtracted due to clamps will be indicated as (C).
Base = 50 - 25 = 25
Spring = 50
Clamp = 250 - 100 - 25(B) = 125
Housing = 100 - (2*25)(B) = 50
Handle = 1 * 125 = 125
Casting = 1 * 125 = 125
Bearing = 2 * 50 = 100
Shaft = 1 * 50 = 50
