Answer:

a. How much time would it take the two to complete the project if they divide the calculations equally and the slides equally? Briefly discuss.

Brian: 5 hours for PowerPoint and 5 hours for the calculations, total 10 hours.

Debbie: 10 hours for PowerPoint and 6 hours for the calculations, total 16 hours.

In total they would spend 26 hours combined.

If they divide the work equally, they will spend too much time.

b. How much time would it take the two to complete the project if they use comparative advantage and specialize in calculating or preparing slides? Briefly discuss

Brian will spend 10 hours doing PowerPoint slides and Debbie will spend 12 hours doping calculations. Total time spent 22 hours. By specializing they will save 4 hours.

c. If Brian and Debbie have the same opportunity cost of $5 per hour, is there a better solution than for each to specialize in calculating or preparing slides? Briefly discuss

Yes, Debbie could pay $50 to Brian so that he does everything in 20 hours. That way they can save 2 more hours.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

His overtime wage = $18.75

Total wages for one day = $118.75

Explanation:

Given,

He worked from - 9:00 am (Internationally - 9:00)

He stopped at - 7:00 pm (Internationally - 19:00)

Therefore, he worked for = (19:00 - 9:00) = 10 hours

Again,

He had unpaid 45 minute lunch break

He had unpaid 15 minute break

Total unpaid time = (45 + 15) minutes = 1 hour.

Therefore, he will be paid for = 9 hours

Again,

His normal wage = $12.50 per hour

<em>His overtime wage = 1.5 times of his normal salary = $12.50*1.5 = $18.75</em>

Since he worked more than 8 hours, he worked 1 overtime hour. Therefore,

(8 hours x $12.50) + (1 hour x $18.75) = $118.75

Crusher Company has provided the following data for maintenance cost:
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Total Fixed Cost: $13,020

Explanation:

Fixed cost is calculated using high low method.

High low method seeks to find variable cost per hour / unit by dividing the difference of cost (total cost at two levels) with difference of activity level. Than variable cost is reduced from total cost to identify the fixed cost. Below is the calculation:

Current year cost: $ 37,850        Current year machine hours: 19,100

Prior year cost:      $ 33,300        Prior year machine hours:     15,600

Variable cost per machine hour = <u>Current year cost - Prior year cost</u>

                                      Current year machine hour - prior year machine hour

Variable cost per machine hour: <u>37,850 - 33,300</u> = $1.30 per machine hour

                                                       19,100 - 15,600

Variable cost current year: ($1.30 * 19,100) = $24,830

Variable cost prior year: ($1.30 * 15,600) = $20,280

Fixed cost: Total cost - variable cost

Fixed cost current year: 37,850 - 24,830 = $13,020

Fixed cost prior year:     33,300 - 20,280 = $13,020

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Marginal Productivity can be described as when every variable in the equation is held constant, it is the amount of productivity gained for every extra hour of labor that is put in.

And according to the information about Joey and his productivity cutting the lawns, we are provided the equation q = 0.2*L which means that for every extra hour Joey works cutting the lawns, Joey's marginal productivity is going to decrease by 0.2 or 20% so the answer is B.

I hope this answer helps.
