Is the general rise in prices throughout an economy.

A city government is considering two types of town-dump sanitary systems. Design A requires an initial outlay of $405 comma 00

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Desing A is a better deal as the equivalent annual cost is lower than desing B

Anywa, bot desing cost are above the city collections thus, it cannot afford the sanitary systems unless it raises taxes

Explanation:

Desing A

F0 405,000

operating and maintenance cost 51,000 for 14 years

Present value of the operating and maintenance cost:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C = $ 51,000.00

time = 14 years

rate = 0.07

$51000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-14} }{0.07} = PV\\$

PV $446,018.8673

net worth: $ 851,081.87

equivalent annual cost:

$PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\$

PV 851,082

time 14

rate 0.07

$851081.87 \div \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-14} }{0.07} = C\\$

C $ 97,316.904

Desing B

F0 251,000

operating and maintenance cost 89,000 for 14 years

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 89,000.00

time 14

rate 0.07

$89000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-14} }{0.07} = PV\\$

PV $778,346.6507

net worth: $ 1,029,346.65

equivalent annual cost:

$1029346.65 \div \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-14} }{0.07} = C\\$

C $ 117,700.580

Town A, in one hour, can produce either 4 hotdog buns, or 10 sausages. Town B, in one hour, can produce either 8 hotdog buns, or

katrin [286]

Answer:

The answer is 27 hours

Explanation:

Solution

The Comparative advantage depends on production of the lower opportunity cost

The opportunity cost of a production is =maximum production of other good /maximum production of the good

Now,

The opportunity cost of hot dog bun for town A =10/4=2.5

Thus,

The opportunity cost of hot dog bun for town B=6/10=0.6

So,

The town B has a comparative advantage in hot dog buns and A in sausages

Town A will produce-only sausages and it will take the time of

time in hours =total required a quantity of the good /number of products in an hour

Now,

The time for Town A for sausages=120/10=12 hours

The time for Town B for hot dog buns=120/8=15 hours

Therefore, The total time =12+15=27 hours.

he St. Augustine Corporation originally budgeted for $360,000 of fixed overhead at 100% normal production capacity. Production w

OLga [1]

Answer:

$9000 (unfavorable).

Explanation:

Given: Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000.

Actual fixed overhead=$ 360000.

Actual production= 11,700 units.

The variable overhead rate was $3 per hour.

The standard hours for production were 5 hours per unit.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance is difference between actual production volume and budgeted production. It help in measuring the effecient use of fixed resources. It is termed as favourable if actual fixed overhead exceed the budgeted amount, however, it is unfavorable if the actual fixed overhead is less than budgeted amount.

Now, lets calculate the Actual fixed overhead cost.

Actual fixed overhead cost= $\textrm{actual fixed overhead}\times \frac{Actual\ production}{Budgeted\ production}$

∴ Actual fixed overhead cost= $\$ 360000\times \frac{11700}{12000} = \$ 351000.$

Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000.

Next calculating the fixed factory overhead volume variance.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $\textrm{Actual fixed overhead cost}-\textrm{budgeted fixed overhead}$

We know, Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000 and Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000

∴ The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $\$351000-\$360000= \$ 9000 (unfavorable)$

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $9000 (unfavorable)
