Answer: The correct option is B. an increase in quantity supplied of laptops.

Explanation: Supply is the amount of goods and services that a given firm is willing and able to sell to the market, at a given price and at a given point in time.

Factors that affect supply include:

- Price

- Cost of Production

- Technology

- Transport Conditions

- Government's Policies

- Prices of Related Goods, and so on.

In the scenario given in the question above, if an improved technology is being used to manufacture laptops, this will cause production costs to decrease, and cause output level to increase, thereby leading to a lower price of the laptops.

At this price, consumers will demand more of the laptops, and an increase in demand will definitely lead to an increase in the quantity of laptops that will be supplied to the market.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

overhead rate: 15

applied overhead 30,000

underapplicatio for 1,000

Explanation:

\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate

The manufacturing overhead rate is determinate by dividingthe total expected cost  by a cost driver. In this case, the machine hours.

estimated cost 150,000

expected machine hours 10,000

predeterminate overhead rate = 150,000/10,000 = 15

Next, to allocate cost, we multiply the actual value fo the cost driver by the rate

actual machine hours x MO rate

2,000 x 15 = 30,000 applied overhead.

Last, we compare with the actual overhead to determinate over or underapplied overhead:

applied - actual

30,000  -  31,000  = -1,000

Thew overhead was underapplied, as the cost were for 31,000 but we only recognize 30,000

A company had beginning inventory of 12 units at a cost of $15 each on March 1. On March 2, it purchased 12 units at $24 each. O
Tema [17]

Answer:

The cost of the 28 units sold is $548

Explanation:

In the given question,  

On March 1 it purchase 12 units for $15 = 12 units × $15 = $180

On March 2 it purchase 12 units for $24 = 12 units × $24 = $288

On March 6 it purchase 7 units for $20 = 7 units × $20 = $140

And, on march it sold 28 units for $63 each  

The 28 units could be taken from  

12 × $15 = $180

here are seven firms in the automobile industry. The market shares of the firms are 34​ percent, 21​ percent, 17​ percent, 9​ pe
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The answer is  "Option 4".

Explanation:

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index formula:

HHI=s_{12} + s_{22}  + s_{32} + s_{42} +........ + s_{n2}

here sn is the firm n's share of the market proportion represented the society in general number instead of a decimal

Index Herfindahl-Hirschman:

= (34)^2 + (21)^2 + (17)^2 + 92 + 82 + 62 + 52\\\\= 1156 + 441 + 289 + 81 + 64 + 36 + 25\\\\= 2092

Index Herfindahl-Hirschman(Result of the merger, firms with profit margins of 6% and 5% provided market shares of respectively).

= (34)^2 + (21)^2 + (17)^2 + 92 + 82 + 112\\\\= 1156 + 441 + 289 + 81 + 64 + 36 + 121\\\\= 2188

The market with just an HHI of less than 1,500 is called a competitive industry, one on an HHI of 1,500 to 2,500 is called a moderately competitive store, and one on an HHI of 2,500 or higher is considered a highly potent store by us Justice department.

All businesses operate in a moderately crowded market, as well as a merger such as this reduces competition (increases chances of monopoly). Also as result, the Justice Dept may examine its merger but will most likely deny this because the Herfindahl-Hirschman index has risen.
