Answer:

Jameson’s opportunity cost of producing one pound of cheese is 0,002 house(s).

Explanation:

Opportunity costs represent the benefits an individual, investor or business misses out on when choosing one alternative over another. Resources are limited, therefore the decision to make a quantity of product A limits the amount of producing product B.

In this exercise, Jameson has the resources to produce 5000 pounds of cheese or 10 houses per year or a combination of both.

To calculate the opportunity cost you need to determine how much of a house is 1 pound of cheese.

Opportunity cost= 10house/5000pounds= 0,002

<u>So to produce 1 pound of cheese you need 0,002 of a house.</u>

Answer: 0.002 house

Explanation: Decisions are made you use one thing or material or resource in place of another. In other words, one resource is forgone in place of another. This is usually due to limited resource availability which leads to opportunity costs — The cost of an opportunity forgone (and the loss of the benefits that could be received from that opportunity); the most valuable forgone alternative.

Your sole focus should be on Jameson since he is the only one whose opportunity cost was mentioned.

In producing 5000 pounds of cheese he would be forgoing the 10 houses he could have made and vice versa.

Now, to produce a pound of cheese, the forgone opportunity (house) is given by total houses divided by total pounds of cheese:

10/5000 = 0.002 house.

Therefore, in producing 1 pound of cheese, Jameson has forgone the 0.002 house alternative he could have produced.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

a. The total employment compensations for the two employees are the same

Explanation:

Employee compensation refers to payment made to employees by an organization in consideration for the services rendered.

Employee compensation can be in cash form such as salary and wages, perquisites, allowances, incentives, commission, etc.

In the given case,

<u>Compensation for Employee A</u>:

= Gross Pay + Employee benefits - Job expenses

= $57200 + 5300 - 800

=  $ 61,700    

Similarly,

Compensation for Employee B:

= Gross Pay + Employee benefits - Job expenses

= $56,900 + $6200 - $ 1400

= $61,700

Thus, employment compensation for both A and B are the same.

Allocated cost 11.55

The purchase cost is higher than our manufacturing cost of 58.35

It is better to make the unit.

The purchase option generates a differential loss for $4
