Why are the slopes of isocost lines constant?

Business
1 answer:
9966 [12]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

D. because the marginal rate of technical substitution of labor for capital is constant.

Explanation:

An isoquant is a curve that represents all possible combinations of inputs, for example capital and labor, that result in the same production volume. In turn, the Technical Marginal Replacement Rate represents the amount that the company can reduce from one of the inputs (eg capital) when using an extra unit from the other input (eg labor), so that production is maintained. It turns out that by definition, this rate is exactly the slope of the curve at each point that represents the combination of factors of production. Thus, if the combination of factors changes but the same production is maintained, the Technical Marginal Replacement Rate will be the same and therefore the inclination of the isoquant curve will not change.

The following data apply to the provision of psychological testing services:
nevsk [136]

Answer:

<u>2, 000 units </u>

a. $200

b. $214

c. $234.25

d. $383.25

e. $172

f. $176.25

g. $106

h. $85.75

<u>1, 250 units</u>

a. $200

b. $214

c. $246.40

d. $390

e. $172

f. $183

g. $106

h. $85.75

Explanation:

Psychological Testing Services:

a. Variable production costs: is an expense that changes in proportion to the number of units that are produced. These are all expenses incurred in the production process.

Variable production cost = the sum of all variable production costs

Labor for oversight and feedback = $165

Outsourced test analysis = $19

Materials used in testing = $7

Production overhead =$9

Variable production cost per unit =$165 + $19 + $7 + $9 + $14 = $200

b. Variable cost per unit: these are similar to variable production costs; however, these also include the variable costs that were not directly part of the production process, e.g. administrative expenses.

Variable cost per unit = $200 + $14 = $214

c. Full cost per unit: this is the sum of all costs that were incurred in the production of the goods. It includes both variable and fixed costs.

Full cost per unit = variable cost per unit + fixed cost per unit

(Fixed costs per unit = [$18, 000 + $22, 500]/2000 = $20.25)

= $214 + $20.25 = $234.25

d. Full absorption cost per unit: cost of the direct materials, direct labor, variable overhead, and fixed overhead.

$7 + $165 + $200 + [$22, 500 / 2, 000] = $383.25

e. Prime cost per unit: all costs that are directly attributable to the production of each product i.e. direct materials and direct labor

      = $7 + $165 = $172

f. Conversion costs per unit: costs of converting raw materials into finished goods. Includes direct labor and production overheads

= $165 + [$22, 500 / 2, 000] = $176.25

g. Contribution margin per unit: this is the selling price per unit minus variable costs per unit. It shows the portion of sales that is not consumed by variable costs

= $320 - $214 = $106

h. Gross margin per unit: this is the selling price minus cost of goods sold.  

= $320 - $234.25 = $85.75

For 1, 250 units

a. Variable production cost per unit =$165 + $19 + $7 + $9 + $14 = $200

b. Variable cost per unit = $200 + $14 = $214

c. Fixed costs per unit = [$18, 000 + $22, 500]/1, 250 = $32.40)

= $214 + $32.40 = $246.40

d. Full absorption cost per unit = $7 + $165 + $200 + [$22, 500 / 1, 250] = $390

e. Prime cost per unit = = $7 + $165 = $172

f. Conversion costs per unit = $165 + [$22, 500 / 1, 250] = $183

g. Contribution margin per unit = = $320 - $214 = $106

h. Gross margin per unit = = $320 - $234.25 = $85.75
