A firm buys two inputs, labor L and capital K, the total amount of which cannot exceed 100 units. The wage is $8, and the rental

rate of capital is $10. The firm can, at most, spend $840 on the two inputs. This data can be summarized in the following equations:
Input limit. K + L = 100
Budget limit: 8L + 10K = 840
What are the quantities of two inputs the firm must buy in order to produce a maximum output, given input and budget constraints?

Answer:

a.

Input limit: K + L = 100

Budget limit: 8L + 10K = 840

b.

L = 80

K = 20

See below

Explanation:

With regards to the above, we need to develop equations and put in function of one of the variable , say with L(labor)

Input limit

K + L = 100. Equation 1

Budget limit

8L + 10K = 840 Equation 2

From equation 1, make K subject of the formula

K + L = 100

K = 100 - L

Substitute for K in equation 2

8L + 10K = 840

8L + 10(100 - L) = 840

8L + 1,000 - 10L = 840

8L - 10L = 840 - 1,000

-2L = -160

L = 80

We can also get the value of K by substituting for L in equation 1.

K + L = 100

K + 80 = 100

K = 100 - 80

K = 20

Since we have the optimum K, we can replace in any of two equations to find the optimum L,

Also, we will replace the input limit and budget limit equation to verify

Input limit

K + L = 100

20 + 80 = 100

Budget limit

8L + 10K = 840

8(80) + 10(20) = 840

640 + 200 = 840

840 = 840

Suppose that lenders want to receive a real rate of interest of 5 percent and that they expect inflation to remain steady at 2 p
Helga [31]

Answer:

7%

Explanation:

nominal interest rate = real interest rate + expected inflation rate

nominal interest rate = 5% + 2% = 7%

Usually the nominal interest rate has four major components:

  1. real interest rate: the net interest rate received by a lender or an investor
  2. inflation rate: the general rise in the prices of goods and services, as inflation increases, the purchasing power of a currency decreases
  3. liquidity risk premium: usually collateralized loans include a liquidity risk premium since not all assets can be easily converted to cash.
  4. credit risk: possibility of the borrower defaulting the loan

Reptile [31]

Answer:

The activity rate for the machine setup cost pool is $160.00

Explanation:

The activity rate for machine setup cost pool is computed as :

machine setup costs/number of setups

Machine set up costs is $41600

Number of setups is 260 setups

Activity rate for machine setup=$41600/260

                                                    =$160.00

The activity rate for machine setup is $160 per setup

Activity rate shows how much per activity is allocated to product under activity based.

Evans Products uses a process costing system with two processing departments: the Mixing Department and the Finishing Department
avanturin [10]

Answer:

d. A debit to Work-in-Process Inventory, Finishing Department of $140,000.

Explanation:

Cost of unit transferred = $4 x 35,000 = $140,000

Cost incurred by mixing department is $4 which so the transfer of cost from mixing department to finishing department will be $140,000 for 35000 units. This cost will be recorded in the work in process inventory account of finishing department. As we know that WIP account has debit nature so same entry will be done to record an expense incurred in mixing department.
