Answer:

1. Private ownership of factors of production

2. Freedom to engage in commercial activities

Explanation:

<u>1. Private ownership of factors of production</u>

In the US, individuals and firms are allowed to own properties. A significant percentage of the factors of production are in the hands of the private sector. Firms and individual influences the production of goods and services because they allocate resources to meet market demand.

<u>2. Freedom to engage in commercial activities</u>

Entrepreneurs have the freedom to choose the type of business they want to start. They can also select the location and the time they want to operate. There are no upper limits to firms that can participate in the market. Consumers are free to choose their suppliers. The market presents a variety of goods and services to consumers to pick from.

vredina [299]

Answer:

$1,300,000

Explanation:

Given:

Number of workstation = 60

Cost of each workstation = $100,000

Additional Cost = 20,000,000

Computation of total cost:

= Total work station cost + Additional cost

= ($100,000 x 60) + $20,000,000

= $6,000,000 + $20,000,000

= $26,000,000

Assume Depreciation rate = 5%

Deprecation = Total Cost x Depreciation rate

= $26,000,000 x 5%

= $1,300,000

Suppose that disposable income, consumption, and saving in some country are $800 billion, $700 billion, and $100 billion, respec

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

MPC = 0.8

MPC = 0.2

Explanation:

Marginal propensity to consume is the proportion of an increase in income that is spent on consumption.

Marginal propensity to consume = increase in consumption / increase in disposable income

Marginal propensity to save is the proportion of an increase in income that is saved.

Marginal propensity to save = increase in savings / increase in disposable income

Disposable income is either consumed or saved. so,

Marginal propensity to consume + marginal propensity to save = 1

Marginal propensity to consume = $64 / $80 = 0.8

Marginal propensity to save = $16 / $80 = 0.2

Radovilsky Manufacturing Company, in Hayward, California, makes flashing lights for toys. The company operates its production fa

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Given,

Annual demand, D = 12500,

Setting up cost, S = $ 49,

Production rate per year, P = production facility × capability of production = 300 × 105 = 31500,

Holding cost per year, H = $ 0.15,

Hence,

(i) Optimal size of the production run,

$Q = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H(1-\frac{D}{P})}}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 12500\times 49}{0.15(1-\frac{12500}{31500})}}=3679.60238126\approx 3680$

(ii) Average holding cost per year,

$=\frac{QH}{2}(1-\frac{D}{P})$

$=\frac{3680\times 0.15}{2}(1-\frac{12500}{31500})$

$=166.476190476$

$\approx \$ 166.48$

(iii) Average setup cost per year,

$=\frac{D}{Q}\times S$

$=\frac{12500}{3680}\times 49$

$=166.44021739$

$\approx \$ 166.44$

(iv) Total cost per year = average setup cost per year + average holding cost per year + cost to purchase 12500 lights

= 166.44 + 166.48 + 12500(0.95)

= $ 12207.92
