Answer:
A. work hours growth and labor productivity growth
Explanation:
An economy is a function of how money, means of production and resources (raw materials) are carefully used to facilitate the demands and supply of goods and services to meet the unending needs or requirements of the consumers.
Hence, a region's or country's economy is largely dependent on how resources are being allocated and utilized, how many goods and services are to be produced, what should be produced, for whom they are to be produced for and how much money are to be spent by the consumers to acquire these goods and services.
Basically, there are four (4) main types of economy and these are;
I. Mixed economy.
II. Free market economy.
III. Traditional economy.
IV. Command economy.
Generally, the sources of economic growth of a country are work hours growth and labor productivity growth.
Labor (working) is simply the human capital or workers who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing and managing all the aspects of production.
Answer:
Correct option is (b)
Explanation:
Time available for work if Melanie chooses to travel by air = 7 hours
Income per hour = $40
Total income earned if chooses to travel by air = 40 × 7 = $280
Time available for work if Melanie chooses to drive = 4 hours
Total income earned if chooses to drive = 40 × 4 = $160
Price differential = 280 - 160 = $120
As a rational decision maker, Melanie will choose to fly over drive only if her price differential is below $120. She will choose to drive if price differential is above $120.
Answer:
$42,000
Explanation:
Direct Labor per Unit = $5.60
Total Planning Budget Units = 7,500 Units
Direct Labor for Planning Budget = Total Planning Budget Units * Direct Labor per Unit
Direct Labor for Planning Budget = 7,500 Units * $5.60
Direct Labor for Planning Budget = $42,000
So, the direct labor in the planning budget for May would be closest to $42,000.
Answer:
D.Gain, $5,000.
Explanation:
Truck Value = $48,000
Annual depreciation = ( $48,000 - $8,000) / 8 = $40,000 / 8= $5,000
First year (2013) = $40,000 - $5,000 = $35,000
Second year (2014) = $35,000 - $5,000 = $30,000
Third year (2015)= $30,000 - $5,000 = $25,000
Gain = Sale Value - Truck Value (actual) = $30,000 - $25,000 = $5,000
Answer:
(a) $921,100
(b) $643,500
(c) $567,700
Explanation:
(a) Cost of goods sold:
= Sales - Gross profit
= $1,261,800 - $340,700
= $921,100
(b) Direct Material Cost:
= Materials purchased - Indirect materials - Materials inventory
= $643,500 - $46,700 - $46,700
= $643,500
(c) Direct labor cost:
= Total manufacturing costs for the period - Direct materials - factory overhead (Indirect labor + Indirect materials + Other factory overhead)
= $1,393,000 - $643,500 - $181,800
= $567,700
