The production function for earthquake detectors​ (Q) is given as​ follows: Q​ = 4K​1/2L​1/2 where K is the amount of capital em

ployed and L is the amount of labor employed. The price of​ capital, PK​, is​ $18 and the price of​ labor, PL​, is​ $2. Refer to Scenario 2. Suppose that you receive an order for 60 earthquake detectors. How much labor will you use to minimize the cost of 60 earthquake​ detectors?

Answer:

Answer ; MC = 6

Explanation:

Q = U√K  √L

MRTS = MPL/MPK = <u>U√K x 1/2√L</u>

                                 U√L x 1/2 √K       = K/L

At optimum,

MRTSS = PL/PK

             = K/L  = 2/18 = 1/9

             L= 9K

Q= U√K√L

60 =U√K √9K

60 = U x 3 x K

K=5

L=9 X 5 = 45

TL= wl + rk = PL x L+ PK x K

= 2L + 18K

= 2x Q²/16K + 18 x Q²/16L

Q²/8K+ 9Q²/8L

=Q²/8 x 5+ 9Q²/8x 45 =1/40 x 2Q²

MC= Q²/20 = 2Q/20 = Q/10 =60/10 = 6

MC = 6

In measuring an impairment loss for a financial asset under U.S. GAAP and under IFRS, the carrying value of the financial asset
Vitek1552 [10]

In measuring an impairment loss for a financial asset under U.S. GAAP and under IFRS, the carrying value of the financial asset would be compared to:

under U.S. GAAP Fair value and under IFRS recoverable amount.

Explanation:

In US GAAP, the cost of financial asset depreciation is calculated as the difference between carried value and fair value; in compliance with IFRS, a loss of financial asset impairment is defined as the difference between carrying value and the percentage of the asset that can be recouped.

In compliance with US-based ASC 360-10-35-20. The recovery of a historically identified impairment loss (or "restoration") is forbidden because an item is deemed to have a new cost base after an impairment loss has been registered.

Allisa [31]

Answer:

The Journal Entry is as follows:

Loss on Impairment $8,400

Debt Investment ($8,400)

Explanation:

Given.

Carrying Value = $79,200

Decreased Value = $70,800

Differences = $79,200 - $70,800

Differences = $8,400

Since the loss in value is determined, uncollectible.

The required entry on the journal entry are the amount loss on impairment and the amount invested on debt.

The Journal Entry is as follows:

Loss on Impairment $8,400

Debt Investment ($8,400)

A process produces two types of products A and B. Product A is done in batches of 1000 units. It involves a setup time of 2 hour
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Only product A is produced

40 hours= 40*60*60 = 144,000 seconds

Run time 75 seconds

Setup time 2 hours

Batches= 1000 units

Run time to produce one batch of A = 1000*75sec = 75,000 seconds

Setup time = 2 hours = 7200 seconds

Remaining seconds = 144,000 - (75,000+7200) = 61,800 seconds

Product A manufactured in 61,800 sec = 61,800/75 = 824

Total Product A manufactured are = 1824 units

2. Only product B is produced

40 hours= 40*60*60 = 144,000 seconds

Run time 45 seconds  

Setup time= 1 hour

Batches= 500 units

To produce one batch of A = 500*45sec = 22,500 seconds

Setup time = 6 hours = 6*7200 seconds= 43,200sec

Remaining seconds = 144,000-(22,500+43,200) = 78,300 seconds

Product A manufactured in 78300 sec = 1740

Total Product A manufactured are = 500+1740= 2240 units

3. A and B are produced in a mix of 25% A and 75% B?

Considering loss of 3 hours setup time, 37 hours is left to produce

A is manufactured for = 25% of 37 hours = 9.25 hours = 33300 hours

B is manufactured for = 75% of 37 hours = 27.75 hours = 99900 hours

Production of A = 33300/75 sec= 444 units

Production of B = 99900/45 sec= 2220 units
