Answer: C. use 0.8 fewer units of capital.

Explanation:

The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution (MRTS) shows how much you can decrease capital or labor by in order to keep production constant if you increase either capital or labor.

It is calculated by the formula:

= Marginal product of labor  / Marginal product of capital

= 4 / 5

= 0.8

<em>The firm should use 0.8 fewer units of capital in order to maintain the same production level. </em>

On January 1, 2005, Jambon purchased equipment for use in developing a new product. Jambon uses the straight-line depreciation m
notsponge [240]

Answer:

A. The total cost of the equipment.

Explanation:

Even if Jambon has not used the equipment in 2005 because it can only be used for the product that is to be developed in five years, Jambon still had to pay for the full cost of the equipment.

Because the equipment is laying idle, it is not depreciating. Therefore, the expense that Jambon is not incurring, is the depreciation expense associated with this equipment. This depreciation expense will only be seen in five years, when the product it was bought for is finally completed.

Q 4.35: McGinnis Construction is a cash-basis company with a fiscal year-end of June 30. McGinnis’ employees earn a normal weekl
hjlf

Answer: Understatement, $30,900

Explanation:

There will be an UNDERSTATEMENT of McGinnis' net income for the most recent fiscal year of $30,900.

The Understatement arises because as of year end which is June 30th, McGinnis were not paid for their services that cost $40,900 and instead will only be paid on the 8th of the next month so it was not accounted for in the net income.

The reason the net income understatement is $30,900 and not $40,900 is because McGinnis will still have to account for the payment to it's employees. If in a five day week they earn $12,500, that would mean that they earn $2,500 a day (12,500/5). Seeing as June ended on a Thursday, that is a 4 day week which means $2,500*4= $10,000.

That $10,000 will reduce the net income by that amount.

The net effect is a $30,900 UNDERSTATEMENT.
