Answer:

Answer : Average Marginal Cost, Marginal Cost = $2

The total cost per hour of the janitorial service firm = $32

Explanation:

The janitorial firm only uses labour as an input to clean offices and there are no fixed costs. This implies that the total cost is only the variable cost.

Each worker can clean 4 offices in an hour, therefore the output of each labour is 4units per office cleaned. The price/wages paid to each worker isb $8 per hour.

The total cost per hour of the janitorial service firm is $8x4 = $32 (wxq)

Now to clean one more office, the time required will be 15minuites, because each worker can clean 4 offices in an hour. To clean one more office , each worker will be paid $2($8/4)

The variable cost/total cost, average variable cost and the marginal cost of cleaning one more office will be

Variable cost =w.q = 2q

Average Variable Cost = VC/q = 2q/q = $2

sine the marginal cost also varies directly as the average marginal cost , the Marginal Cost is $2

Akira's uncle is about to open a car dealership. His property can accommodate a total inventory of 264 vehicles. The auto manufa
sesenic [268]

well, he has room for a total of 264 vehicles, he needs to have "five times as many cars as trucks", namely the cars : trucks ratio must be 5 to 1 or 5:1.

well, to change the total value to a ratio, we simply divide the total amount by the sum of the ratios, namely 264 ÷ (5+1), and distribute accordingly.

\bf \cfrac{cars}{trucks}\qquad 5:1\qquad \cfrac{5}{1}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{5\cdot \frac{264}{5+1}}{1\cdot \frac{264}{5+1}}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 44}{1\cdot 44}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{cars}{220}}{\underset{trucks}{44}}

Economics Airlines currently spends $20,000 per month in airport fees and $10,000 per flight for fuel, crew, and airplane mainte
Kamila [148]

Answer:

b. 20

Explanation:

For 5 flights per month

Total Cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost

Total Cost = Fuel, crew, and airplane maintenance cost + Airport fee

Total Cost = (5 X 10000) + 20,000 = $70,000

For 6 flights per month

Total Cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost

Total Cost = Fuel, crew, and airplane maintenance cost + Airport fee

Total Cost = (6 X 10000) + 20,000 = $80,000

Additional Cost for 6th flight = $80000-70,000 = $10,000

Minimum No. of Passenger to cover the cost = Additional cost / Ticket price per seat

Minimum No. of Passenger to cover the cost = $10,000 / $500 = 20 seats passengers.

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Current Ratio= Current Assets/ Current Liabilities

Explanation:

Current Ratio= Current Assets/ Current Liabilities

The current ratio is an important measure of a company's ability to pay its short term obligations. It is defined as current assets divided by current liabilities.

Current assets are cash and other resources that are expected to be sold or used within one year or the company's operating cycle , whichever is longer. Examples are cash, short term investments , accounts receivable, short term notes receivable, goods for sale ( called merchandise or inventory) and prepaid expenses. Prepaid expenses are usually listed last because they will not be converted to cash ( instead they are used).

Current liabilities are obligations due to be paid or settled within one year of operating cycle, whichever is longer. they are usually settled by paying out current assets such as cash . Current liabilities often include accounts payable , notes payable, wages payable, taxes payable, interest payable and unearned revenues. Also any portion of a long term liability due to be paid within one year or the operating cycle whichever is longer is a current liability.
