Answer: The correct option is D. -4/5

Explanation:

From the question above, we have:

Cost on input = $500

Wage rate = $20 per hour

Cost of capital = $25 per hour

The formula for slope of isocost is given as:

Slope of isocost = -(w/r)

Where,

W = wage rate

r = rental cost of capital.

Therefore, we have:

Slope of isocost curve = -(20/25)

= -0.8 or -4/5

Answer:

D. -4/5

Explanation:

Given that

Wage rate = $20 per hour

Cost of capital = $25 per hour

Recall that,

Slope of isocost = -(w/r)

Where,

W = wage rate

r = rental cost of capital.

Thus,

Slope of isocost curve

= -(20/25)

= -0.8 or -4/5

Note that, the negative of the ratio is the price of the two inputs. Also isocost is a line showing the various combinations of inputs which cost the same amount.

Indirect costs incurred in a manufacturing environment that cannot be traced directly to a product are treated as a.period costs
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Indirect costs incurred in a manufacturing environment that cannot be traced directly to a product are treated as Product costs and expenses when the goods are sold, Option D.

Explanation:

Indirect costs are also manufacturing overheads which cannot be directly put on the product but they have to be allocated in some way. So, these are treated as 'product costs' and 'expenses' when the goods are sold. They are not period costs as per Option A and option C. Option B which says that it is product costs when incurred, which is also incorrect.

Examples of indirect costs can be accounting and legal expenses, rent, telephone expenses, salaries of administrative.

Direct costs includes the costs of direct 'labor', materials and commissions.

masha68 [24]

Answer:

annual income = $70,292.52

Explanation:

initial outlay $900,000

in order to determine the net cash flows per year we can use the present value of an ordinary annuity:

PV = annual cash flow x annuity factor

  • PV = $900,000
  • annuity factor, 15%, 12 years = 6.1944

annual cash flow = $900,000 / 6.1944 = $145,292.52

annual cash flow = [(revenue - operating costs - depreciation) x (1 - tax rate)] + depreciation

  • revenue - operating costs - depreciation = annual income
  • tax rate = 0?
  • depreciation = $900,000 / 12 = $75,000

$145,292.52 = annual income + $75,000

annual income = $145,292.52 - $75,000 = $70,292.52

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The Sampling Bias

Explanation:

Here in this question, the owner is only getting information about the customers which are coming to the mall on weekdays only while neglecting the response which could have been received on weekends.

Therefore this can be termed as a <em>Sampling Bias. </em><em>The perfect way to go after this question is to ask the customers which are coming to the mall on weekends as well as weekdays, throughout the day.</em>

<em>Hope this helps. Good luck.</em>
