Answer:

C. a good whose benefits cannot readily be restricted to a small group of people.

Explanation:

Factors of production can be defined as the fundamental building blocks used by individuals or business firms for the manufacturing of finished goods and services in order to meet the unending needs and requirements of their customers.

The four factors of production are;

I. Land: this refers to the natural resources and raw materials extracted from the ground or grown in the soil e.g oil, gold, rubber, cocoa, etc.

II. Labor (working): this is the human capital or workers who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing and managing all the aspects of production.

III. Capital resources: it includes the physical assets used for production of goods and services such as equipment, money, plant, etc.

IV. Entrepreneurship: it is intellectual capacity required to drive a business and the skills to develop an idea into a money making venture (business).

These four (4) factors of production when combined effectively and efficiently are used for the manufacturing or production of goods and services that meets the unending requirements or needs of the consumers.

A public good is a good whose benefits cannot readily be restricted to a small group of people.

This ultimately implies that, a public good such as power utility (electricity) or water supply is capable of being provided simultaneously to the general public.

Furthermore, a public good is non-excludable and cannot be exhausted due to its use by the general public i.e it's never depleted.

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

$5400 Favorable

Explanation:

Standard 2 hour at $15 per hour

Standard hours 2 hour per unit * 2900 units = 5800 hours

Total Standard cost = 5800 hours * $15 per hour =  $87,000

Actual hours = 5100

Actual cost = $81600 / 5100 hours = $16 per hour

Variance = Standard - Actual

Labor hour Variance Favorable = 700 hours (5800 hours - 5100 hours)

Total Labor variance = $5400 ($87,000 - $81,600)

Calculate Payroll An employee earns $44 per hour and 1.5 times that rate for all hours in excess of 40 hours per week. Assume th
Marrrta [24]

Answer: $1750

Explanation:

Given Data

Earnings = $44/ hr

Overtime Earnings = 1.5 times Of $44

= $66

Hours worked during the week = 55 hrs

Social security tax rate = 6.0%

Medicare tax rate = 1.5%

Federal income tax = $633

Therefore:

Gross pay = Normal pay + overtime pay

Normal pay

= $44 * 40 hrs

= $1760

Overtime pay

= $66 * 15 hrs

= $990

Gross pay = $1760 + $990

= $1750

Social security tax

= 0.06 * $2750

= $165

Medicare tax

= 0.015 * $2750

= $41.25

Total tax

= $633 + $41.25 + $165

= $839.25

Net pay

= $2750 - $839.25

= $1910.75

If a company has excess capacity, increases in production level will increase variable production costs but not fixed production
den301095 [7]

Answer; True

Explanation;

When a company has excess capacity, it means that potentially it could produce more than it is producing at the moment. As this potential already takes into account the fixed costs, this means that given the fixed costs it currently has, more goods could be produced on those same fixed costs and they wouldn't increase.

Increasing production level would therefore only increase variable costs which rise whenever production rises as they are directly related to the production of goods.
