Answer:

a. Schools operate for the full year, so no students are looking for summer work.

This will cause that the total labor force decreases, so the natural rate of unemployment will decrease. The natural rate of unemployment includes only structural and frictional unemployment. Since no students will look for summer jobs, then frictional unemployment will decrease, therefore, total natural unemployment will decrease also.

b. The Internet lists all the jobs available in the whole country, so it is easier for job seekers to locate potential jobs.

This will help to decrease structural unemployment which will in turn decrease the natural rate of unemployment. Structural unemployment happens when an unemployed individual cannot find a job that fits his/her skills. Internet job postings will make it easier for unemployed people to find jobs that match their skills.

c. People who quit their jobs are drafted into low-wage community-service jobs.

This should reduce frictional unemployment (which reduces the natural rate of unemployment), since frictional unemployment is made up of people that quit their jobs in order to search a better job or are looking for their first job ever. If people realize that quitting their current jobs will result in them being drafted into low wage jobs, less people will quit their jobs. This doesn't mean that they will stop searching for a better, it means that they will continue searching for a better while still employed.

d. In addition to unemployment insurance, the unemployed receive a bonus for finding new jobs; the bonus is greater if the job is found in the first few weeks of search and declines with the duration of search.

This should motivate people to get any available job as quick as possible. Sometimes a person that is fired will not accept possible jobs because they consider that they can get a better job, so they decide to wait until they get the job that they want. If a bonus is given, a lot of people will be motivated to accept any new job that they can find as long as it allows them to collect the bonus. This doesn't mean that they will quit looking for their dram job or the job that they deserve, it means that they will be working while doing so. This should decrease the natural rate of unemployment.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

2,500 apartment and 7,500 house building the marina complex. This will provide the maximum yield.

Explanation:

Apartment Inflow PV 48,000

Home Inflow PV 46,000

Cost (for any) 40,000

Apartment NPV 48,000 - 40,000 = 8,000

Home NPV 46,000 - 40,000 = 6,000

As the house yield a lower profit it be better to keep the relationship at 1:3

As going above will decrease the profit

being 10,000 and a ratio of 1:3

we get that 10,000 x 1/4 = 2,500 apartment

and 10,000 x 3/4= 7,500 house

total profit:

2,500 x 8,000 + 7,500 x 6,000 - 1,200,000 = 5,300,000

If we build the swimming-tennis complex then we would build only apartment as they provide the max profit and there is no house quantity requirement:

total profit

10,000 x 8,000 - 2,800,000 = 5,200,000

The marina complex option yield the best result

Assume that factory space freed up by purchasing the part from an outside source can be used to manufacture another product that

kkurt [141]

Complete Question:

Harvey Automobiles uses a standard part in the manufacture of several of its trucks. The cost of producing 40,000 parts is $130,000, which includes fixed costs of $70,000 and variable costs of $60,000. The company can buy the part from an outside supplier for $3 per unit, and avoid 30% of the fixed costs.

Assume that factory space freed up by purchasing the part from an outside source can be used to manufacture another product that can be sold for $13,000 profit. If Harvey Automobiles makes the part, what will its operating income be?

A. 156,000 greater than if the company bought the part

B. 26,000 less than if the company bought the part

C. 26,000 greater than if the company bought the part

D. 62,000 greater than if the company bought the part

Answer:

Option C. 26,000 greater than if the company bought the part

Explanation:

Option A: In House manufacturing of 40,000 parts:

Variable Cost is always Relevant and is ($60,000)

The Fixed cost is always irrelevant unless it is specific fixed cost related to the decision. Hence Fixed cost is irrelevant here.

Option B: If we purchase from outsiders

The purchase cost of the product is variable cost hence it is relevant as it is always relevant.

Purchase Cost = $3 * 40,000 parts ($120,000)

The decrease or increase in the cost or income, due to a decision is always relevant. The decrease in cost is Opportunity income or benefits and is given as under:

Decrease in Fixed cost by 30% = $70,000 * 30% $21,000

Now the additional profit that will arise as we can manufacture additional parts of another Product B. This is only possible if we free factory space by purchasing parts of Product A from outsiders. This additional manufacturing of Product B parts will generate profit of $13,000 and thus is a relevant income here. It is also referred to as Opportunity Income.

Opportunity Income $13,000

Total Relevant Cost ($86,000)

<h2>Decision</h2>

The cost of option A is lower from Option B by $26000 ($86000 - $60000). Hence the operating income would be higher by $26,000 if the company manufactures in-house rather purchasing 40,000 parts from outsiders.

Option C is correct option here.
