Answer: 30 pieces of pottery

Explanation:

The marginal product could simply be explained as the resulting change in output as a result of employing one more unit of labor (input).

When Kate works alone ; pieces of pottery made = 25 pieces

Output when she employed her sister (Kate) and they work together, output = 55 pieces

Hence, Kate's marginal product ;

55 pieces - 25 pieces = 30 pieces

True or False: Computing interest using the sum-of-the-digits method allocates more interest at the beginning of a loan than at
Serhud [2]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

To illustrate how the sum-of-the-digits method allocates interest we can use a lease example:

You are the lessor and you will lease a machine during 4 years. The lease requires 4 equal payments of $100,000 at the beginning of the year. After the lease, the asset's salvage value = $0.

The asset's current value = $300,000, so total interests received = $100,000

Using the sum-of-the-digits method, you will allocate interest as follows:

  • year 1 = 3/6 x $100,000 = $50,000
  • year 2 = 2/6 x $100,000 = $33,333
  • year 3 = 1/6 x $100,000 = $17,000

The largest portion of interests is allocated during the beginning of the loan.

sasho [114]

Answer:

$25,800

Explanation:

The units-of-production deprecation method depreciates an asset based on the total units produced each year.

Unit of production depreciation expense = (units produced / total expected units of production) × (cost of asset - salvage value)

(64,500 / 300,000) x ($135,000 - $15,000)

0.215 x $120,000 = $25,800

I hope my answer helps you

A company purchased a new delivery van at a cost of $61,000 on July 1. The delivery van is estimated to have a useful life of 5
faust18 [17]

it's half a year out of 5, so 1/10 of the useful lifetime of the van

$61,000 - $4,900 is $56.1000

one tenth of that will be what we are looking for, so option b. should be just right to fit here

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 30 billion bottles of wine were sold ev
zmey [24]

Answer:

The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $5 per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $3 per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $2 per bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on producers.

Explanation:

The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $5 ($3 + $2).

The burden on consumers is $3 ($9 - $6), which is the difference between the after-tax purchase price and the before-tax purchase price for consumers.  This implies that the burden passed to consumers is $3 out of the total tax burden of $5.

The burden on producers is $2 ($6 - $4) which represents the difference between before-tax selling price and the after-tax selling price for the producers.  This means that the burden passed to producers is $2 out of the total tax burden of $5.

If the tax burden were passed to the producers alone, the selling price would have been more than $11 ($6 + 5).  This would have reduced demand for wine as consumers would have been forced to bear the total burden.  This would have made the tax unequitable.  This would have been the case unless demand is inelastic.  That means that the total demanded is not sensitive to price increases.
