Answer:

This firm is

not maximizing profit and should hire fewer workers to increase profit

Explanation:

Labor=4 workers

Output=100 units

Wage rate=$40

Unit price=$10

Marginal product (MP) of 4th worker=4

Total revenue= Output×price

=100×10

=$1000

Marginal product(MP) is the increase in output as a result of an increase in unit of inputs.

MP= Change in output/change in inputs.

The marginal product of the fourth labour doesn't increase output as required and the fourth labour is paid the same wage rate, in order for the firm to maximize Profit, it is advertised that the firm should reduce labor force.

Kryger [21]

Missing information :

interest rate = 14%

Answer:

annual savings rate per operating hour $0.94

Explanation:

initial investment $100,000

total operating hours = 3,000 x 5 = 15,000 hours

savings first year $35,000

then decrease by 3% per year

annual savings:

year 1 $35,000

year 2 $33,950

year 3 $32,931.50

year 4 $31,943.56

year 5 $30,985.25

we need to determine the PV of the savings per year:

PV = $35,000/1.14 + $33,950/1.14² + $32,931.50/1.14³ + $31,943.56/1.14⁴ + $30,985.25/1.14⁵ = $30,701.75 + $26,123.42 + $22,227.82 + $18,913.15 + $16,092.77 = $114,058.91

NPV of investment = $114,058.91  - $100,000 = $14,058.91

annual savings per operating hour = $14,058.91 / 15,000 = $0.94

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

a. The value of ending Inventory using FIFO is $2749.

b. The value of ending Inventory using LIFO is $2667.

c. The value of ending Inventory using Average Cost method is $2713.


We have:

Date     Explanation       Units      unit cost   Total Cost


Sep-01         inv                 11              97                1067


Sep-12 purchases        44               100              4400


Sep-19 purchases         47               101              4747


Sep-26 purchases         22               102              2244


Total                                 124                                  12458


Novak sold 97 snowboards, so the number of snowboards with it at the end of September is 124 -97 = 27 units.

If Novak adopts First In First Out (FIFO) method, and 27 units are remaining, all 22 units purchased on Sept-26th and 27 -22 = 5 units from the purchases made on Sept-19th will remain in inventory.

So the value of inventory using FIFO will be (22* 102) + (5*101) = 2749

If Novak adopts Last In First Out (LIFO) method, all 11 units in inventory on  Sept-01st and 27 -11 = 16 units from the purchases made on Sept-12th will remain in inventory.

Hence inventory value using LIFO will be (11* 97) + (16*100) = 2667

We calculate the Average cost by dividing the Total Cost by total number of units purchased.

Average Cost = \frac{12458}{124} = 100.468

The value of inventory using the average cost method is 100.648 * 27 =2713.
