Vadim26 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: $0

Explanation:

The program is said to be custom-made which means that the program is specifically for this company and so cannot be used by another.

This will put the opportunity cost at $0 because the company cannot use the money paid to develop something else as there are no alternatives to a custom made software.

16. GDP Growth Consider the following data on U.S. GDP: Year GDP (Billions of current dollars) (Billions of 2009 dollars) 2011 1
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The percentage change in nominal GDP from 2013 to 2014 was 4.29%

The percentage change in real GDP from 2012 to 2013 was 1.48%

The percentage change in real GDP from 2012 to 2013 was higher than the percentage change in real GDP from 2011 to 2012. FALSE

Explanation:

In order to calculate this we just have to calculate the percentages with a rule of thirds:

\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}

To calculate the first one we use the nominal GDP which is the GDP with the current market value:

\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{16,663.2}{100}= \frac{17,348.1 }{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(17,348.1}{16,663.2} \\x=4.29%

To calculate the change in real GDP we use the values adapted to a pre-agreed monetary value, in this case the dollar at 2009:

\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{15,354.6}{100}= \frac{15,583.3}{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(15,583.3}{15,354.6} \\x=1.48%

To calculate the 2011 to 2012 we insert the values:

\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{ 15,020.6}{100}= \frac{15,354.6}{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(15,354.6}{ 15,020.6} \\x=2.22%

So with this we know that it is wasn´t higher the percentage change from 2012-2013, than that of 2011-2012

icang [17]

Answer:

"The face of the instrument"

Explanation:

This is a legal phrase which means the contract (aka the "instrument") must be read "on its face." Basically, you should put everything you want the contract to say in plain language and the parties are only held to the plain, common understanding of exactly what is written down.  

The idea is that no party can go back and say that something else is expected or implied from the contract unless it is actually written down.

K6= 0.50*600,000= 300,000

X9= 0.27*600,000= 162,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Ferrier Chemical Company makes three products, B7, K6, and X9, which are joint products from the same materials. In a standard batch of 150,000 pounds of raw materials, the company generates 35,000 pounds of B7, 75,000 pounds of K6, and 40,000 pounds of X9. A standard batch costs $600,000 to produce.

weighted average:

B7= 35,000/150,000= 0.23

K6= 75,000/150,000= 0.5

X9= 40,000/150,000= 0.27

Allocated cost:

B7= 0.23*600,000= 138,000

K6= 0.50*600,000= 300,000

X9= 0.27*600,000= 162,000
