Answer:

The indifference point is 1,410 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Machine A:

Fixed costs= $160,000

Unitary variable cost= $80

Machine B:

Fixed costs= $270,000

Unitary variable cost= $2

<u>First, we need to structure the total cost formula for each machine:</u>

Machine A= 160,000 + 80x

Machine B= 270,000 + 2x

x= number of units

<u>Now, we equal both formulas and isolate x:</u>

160,000 + 80x = 270,000 + 2x

78x = 110,000

x= 110,000/78

x= 1,410 units

The indifference point is 1,410 units

Lynna [10]

Nominal interest rate = Real interest rate + rate of inflation

Real interest rate is considered to be a better measure since it is adjusted for rate of inflation.

Foreign exchange rate refers to exchange rate between two currencies which is based upon inflation and interest rates prevailing in the respective countries.
