Answer:

Economies of scale

Explanation:

The firm is experiencing economies of scale. Economies of scale result in a decreased average cost of production. Production increases and therefore the fixed cost is distributed more and average fixed cost becomes lesser and lesser as output increases. This leads to a decline in average total cost( As average total cost is the sum of average variable cost and average fixed cost, therefore a decline in average fixed cost leads to a decline in average total cost). This can be seen by an assymptotic average fixed cost for the firm which experiences economies of scale.

miskamm [114]

Answer:

  • Materials - 100,400

Explanation:

Equivalent Units = Units Completed and Transferred out + Ending Work in Progress.

Conversion Equivalent Units

Ending Work in Progress = 60% * 16,000

= 9,600 units

Equivalent Units = 86,000 + 9,600

= 95,600 units

The Outlet needs to raise $3.2 million for an expansion project. The firm wants to raise this money by selling zero coupon bonds
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

14,783.33 bonds

Explanation:

Given

Par value FV = $1000

n =20 * 2 =40

R= 7.80/2 = 3.90%

Price per bond:

price per bond :PV = \frac{FV/}{(1+r)^n}

     = \frac{000}{(1+0.039)^{40}}

      = \frac{1000}{4.619786467}

      = 216.46

No. of bonds to be issued = \frac{amount to raise}{ price per bond}

                                           = \frac{3,200,000}{216.46}  

                                            = 14,783.33 bonds

Craigburg has a working age population of 20 million. Of those, 11 million are employed and 1 million are unemployed. The unempl
sveta [45]

Answer:

8.3% - 60%

Explanation:

Unemployment rate is the total of unemployed divided by the total workforce. As the question says, there is 1 million of unemployed and  the people able to work is 12 million (1 million unemployed plus 11 employed). So the unemployment rate is 1/12... which is 8.3%

The participation rate is the employed plus the people that have no job but are actively seeking for a job, divided by the population that is in working age. The people who has no job, is in working age and available to work and is actively looking for work is the unemployed (ILO definition of unemployment). So we have 1 million plus the 11 million of employed, we have a total of 12 million. So the participation rate is 12/20... which gives us 60%
