Answer:

b. No - the increase in lease expense is a fixed cost.

Explanation:

If the owner of Italian restaurant increases the prices of its product it will result in low customers as the restaurant is already at the competitive price among its other competitors. If the restaurant raises prices the customers will move to the competitors which are offering same quality product at reduced price. The rent is increased by 20% which is considered as a fixed cost because it does not affect the per unit production and is not associated with the numbers of customers.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

$4,750

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

where,

Original cost = $18,000 + $500 + $2,500 = $21,000

And, the other items would remain same

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= ($21,000 - $2,000) ÷ (4 years)

= ($19,000) ÷ (4 years)  

= $4,750

Assume a​ Cobb-Douglas production function of the​ form: q equals 10 Upper L Superscript 0.33 Baseline Upper K Superscript 0.75.
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Since 0.33 + 0.75 = 1.08 is greater than one, this production function therefore exhibits increasing returns to scale.

Explanation:

From the question, we have the following restated equation:

q=10L^{0.33} K^{0.75}

Where q is the output, and L and K are inputs

To determine the types of returns to scale, we increase each of L and K inputs by constant amount c as follows:

q = 10(cL)^{0.33}(cK)^{0.75}

We can now solve as follows;

q = 10c^{0.33+0.75} L^{0.33}K^{0.75}

q=c^{1.08} L^{0.33} K^{0.75}

Since 0.33 + 0.75 = 1.08 is greater than one, this production function therefore exhibits increasing returns to scale.
