Answer:

the question is missing the discount or interest rate that we must use to calculate the answer.

for example, if the interest rate is 5% per year, then this would be a good investment if the homeowner can save $2,481 x 5% = $124.05 per year.

but if the interest rate is 8%, then the homeowner would need to save at least $2,481 x 8% = $198.48 per year.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer: A. On the curve.

Explanation:

Production possibilities curve (PPC) is simply a graphical representation that is used to show different combinations of two goods which a particular economy can produce when the economy uses the resources it has efficiently.

Points on the curve shows that the resources in an economy are efficiently used, points on the interior of the curve shows that the resources are used inefficiently while the points that are beyond the curve shows are referred to as unattainable.

Therefore, if you are using your factors of production at 100% efficiency, you will be on the curve.

The answer is A.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Data Given:

Material Cost Per Trailer = $500

Material Cost plus Profit Per Trailer (15%)  = $500 + 75 = $575

Selling Price = $1000

Labor Cost Remaining Per Trailer = $425

Formula to Calculate the number of Trailers:

X = X1 (N^{S})

Where,

N = number of Trailers

S = Slope Parameter

X = $425

X1 = $700

So, First we need to find the slope parameter, in order to calculate the number of trailers to be built.

S = \frac{log \alpha }{log 2}

where, α = 0.85 rate of improvement.

Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:

S = \frac{log (0.85) }{log 2}

S = -0.234

Now, we can easily find the number of trailers.

X = X1 (N^{S})

Plugging in the values,

425 = 700 x (N^{-0.234})

Solving For N, we get:

N = 8.4 Trailers

N = 9 Trailers.

Hence, 9 Trailers must be built in order to realize this rate of profit.
