The correct answer is C. The United States suffered an economic downturn starting in 2009.

Explanation:

The graph shows the percentage of unemployment in the U.S. from 2006 to 2012. In this, you can see the unemployment rate was between 4% and 5% during 2006, 2007 and 2008; however, after this year the rate suddenly increased. Indeed in 2009, the rate was 6% and in 2010 it was 10%, which is evidently higher than in previous years. This situation suggests there was an economic recession or downturn that began in 2009 and continued during the following years, this explains why the number of unemployed people increased as an economical recession usually leads to fewer jobs. Thus, the most accurate statement is "The United States suffered an economic downturn starting in 2009".

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the variable cost per unit:

Variable cost per unit= Materials + Labor + Plant supervision + Selling and administrative

Variable cost per unit= 18 + 15 + 8 + 9

Variable cost per unit= $50

Now, the fixed cost:

Fixed costs= Selling and administrative + Production

Fixed costs= 47,620 + 142,860

Fixed costs= $190,480

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 190,480 / (70 -50)

Break-even point in units= 9,524

Finally, the expected sales:

expected sales= 23,810*70

expected sales= $1,666,700

Suppose that without specialization, Iran produces 4 barrels of oil and 6 bottles of olive oil, and Iraq produces 4 barrels of o

Elza [17]

Answer:

With specialization Iran will be able to consume 1.7 bottles of olive oil.

Explanation:

Iran produces 4 barrels of oil and 6 bottles of olive oil.

Iraq produces 4 barrels of oil and 4 bottles of olive oil.

The opportunity cost of producing a barrel of oil for Iran

= $\frac{6}{4}$

= 1.5

The opportunity cost of producing a barrel of oil for Iraq

= $\frac{4}{4}$

= 1

Iraq has a lower opportunity cost for producing oil so we can say it has a comparative advantage in producing oil.

The opportunity cost of producing a barrel of olive oil for Iran

= $\frac{4}{6}$

= 0.66

The opportunity cost of producing a barrel of olive oil for Iraq

= $\frac{4}{4}$

= 1

Iran has a lower opportunity cost for producing olive oil so we can say it has a comparative advantage in producing it.

The terms of trade with specialization are 4 barrels of oil for 4.3 bottles of olive oil, and that 4 barrels of oil are indeed traded for 4.3 bottles of olive oil.

Without trade, Iran is consuming 4 barrels of oil and 6 bottles of olive oil.

With specialization, Iran will be able to consume

= 6 - 4.3

= 1.7 bottles of olive oil

a manufacturer reports the following costs to produce 11,000 units in its first year of operations: direct materials, $11 per un

DENIUS [597]

The total product cost per unit under absorption costing is: $75.

In absorption costing, the cost of every unit produced is worked out by adding up the direct cost of materials, direct labor, variable overhead, and the fixed overhead. Unlike in the case of marginal costing where the fixed cost is treated as period cost, in absorption costing, fixed cost is treated as a product cost.

The cost per unit

Direct material 28

Direct labor 24

Variable overhead 10

Fixed cost 13

Cost per unit 75

Cost of Inventory

Number of units = 1000

Cost per unit = $75

Value = 1000 * $75 = $75,000
