Answer: Economics studies the behaviour of human beings when there is scarcity and choices have to be made.
Explanation:
Economics is a social science i.e study of human behavior in relation to the manufacturing, distribution and consumption of products. Economics focal point is the interaction and behaviour of economic agents (households, firms and governments) and how economies work.
Economics is divided into microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics deals with the small elements in the economy such as interaction of markets and prices of certain products. Macroeconomics deals with the whole economy and issues discussed include unemployment, economic growth, inflation etc.
Answer:
$90,000
Explanation:
In this question, we compare the net income and the difference should be reported
In the first case, the net income is
= Revenue - expense
= $1,000,000 - $750,000
= $250,000
In the first case, the net income is
= Revenue - expense
where,
Revenue is = $1,000,000 + $150,000 = $1,150,000
And, the expenses is $750,000 + $60,000 = $810,000
= $1,150,000 - $810,000
= $340,000
So, the net profit is increased by
= $340,000 - $250,000
= $90,000
Answer: c. Marginal Cost
Explanation:
A Competitive firm operates in a market where they are price takers. This means that the price they charge is equal to both their average revenue and their Marginal Revenue.
P = MR = AR
Companies maximise profit at a point where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost because at this point, resources are being fully utilized.
If the Competitive firm's Price is the same as its Marginal Revenue this means that to maximise profits, the firm should choose an output level where the price is equal to the marginal cost.
Answer:
1. $590
2. $9.83
Explanation:
1.
Total Number of Direct Labor Hours:
= Total Labor Cost ÷ Labor Rate Per Hour
= 150 ÷ 15
= 10 Hours
Total Overheads:
= Total Number of Direct Labor Hours*Predetermined Overhead Rate
= 10 × 21
= 210
Total Manufacturing Cost = 230 + 150 + 210
= $590
2.
Average Cost:
= Total Manufacturing Cost ÷ Number of Units
= 590 ÷ 60
= $9.83
Answer:
C. the MC curve passes through the minimum point of the ATC curve.
Explanation:
Marginal cost is the cost of producing additional unit, it is upward sloping as generally the cost that is additional as it tends to increase with increase in output.
Whereas Average Total Cost is a U shaped curve, it basically starts from a high point and then tends to decrease as the increase in number of units with constant fixed cost tends to decrease the average, but ultimately after it reaches its lowest point it tends to increase because now to produce units, there is extra cost required.
The Marginal Cost Curve touches the Average Total Cost curve at its lowest.
