Answer:
Option "4" is the correct answer to the following situation.
Intermediate-term cost receives a weighting of 12%.
Explanation:
<u>GIVEN:</u>
Total cost receives weighting = 40%
- short term cost weighting = 50% of (Total cost receives weighting)
= 50% of 40% = 20%
- intermediate term cost weighting
= 30% of (Total cost receives weighting)
= 30% of 40% = 12%
= 20% of (Total cost receives weighting)
= 20% of 40% = 8%
Therefore option "4" is the correct answer to the above situation.
Answer:
$50,000
Explanation:
The computation of the interest expense for deduction is shown below:
= Interest on a mortgage on his home + Interest on a mortgage on his vacation home
= $40,000 + $10,000
= $50,000
All other information which is given in the question is not relevant for the computation part. Hence, ignored it
We simply add both types of interest related to a mortgage on the home
Answer:
a. Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. Whataburger should hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost
Explanation:
a. According to the given data we have the following:
Let "C" is a cashier.
"K" is a kiosk
MPC = 48 (Marginal Product of Cashier)
MPK = 32 (Marginal Product of Kiosk)
PC = $15 (cashier can be hired for a wage of $15)
PK = $12 (Kiosk rents for $12)
At optimal cost minimization point, (MPC / MPK) = (PC / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (MPK / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (48 / 15) = 3.2
(MPK / PK) = (32 / 12) = 2.67
Since the (MPC / PC) and (MPK / PK) is not equal. It implies Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. We have to use the following:
(MPC / PC) > (MPK / PK)
i.e., 3.2 > 2.67
It means Whataburger hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost.
Answer:
the equilibrium price but not above or below the equilibrium price.
Explanation:
At equilibrium price, quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. At this point, buyers are able to buy all they want to buy and sellers are able to sell all they want
Above equilibrium price, there would be a surplus. the quantity supplied would exceed the quantity demanded. Sellers would not be able to sell all they want in this case
Below the equilibrium price, there would be a shortage. the quantity demanded would exceed the quantity supplied. buyers would not be able to buy all they want
d) $16.92
Each paycheck is $22,000/26 times per year = $846.15
Your company will match up to 2% of this. .02*$846.15= $16.92
You should contribute this amount each pay period in order to take full advantage of the "company match" because your company will add that much money into your retirement account on top of what you pay in.
