A. should hire more of both X and Y
B. should hire more of Y and less of X
C. is producing with the least-costly combination of X and Y,but could increase its profits by employing more of X and less of Y

Answer:

C. is producing with the least-costly combination of X and Y,but could increase its profits by employing more of X and less of Y

Explanation:

At equilibrium

We know that

MRPx ÷ MRPy = wx ÷ wy

So, according to the question, it is

100 ÷ 6< 50 ÷ 20

This means that MRPx ÷  wx  > MRPy ÷  wy

In this way, the equilibrium x would be rise and y would be decreased

Therefore the correct option is c.  

And, the rest of the options would be seems wrong

Your bond portfolio consists of $30 million worth of Treasury STRIPS with 7 years to maturity, and $10 million of Treasury notes
Verdich [7]

Answer:

<em>d) Slightly greater than 4 years</em>

Explanation:

<em>The portfolio's Macaulay period (MaD) is the mean maturity of its retained earnings.</em>

Fifty per cent of cash flows (in terms of PV) come after three years and another fifty per cent arrive after five years, so the MaD is 0.53 + 0.55 = 4.

We must divide the MaD by (1+ytm/2) to get Modified Duration (MoD).

<em>Then portfolio MoD is </em><u><em>4/(1 + 0.02/2) = 3.96.</em></u>

Suppose the local slaughterhouse gives off an unpleasant stench. the price of meat would then be _______ because not all of the
Ivanshal [37]

Suppose the local slaughterhouse gives off an unpleasant stench. the price of meat would then be too low because not all of the costs are accounted for in the marketplace.

When the price of an item increases, buyers tend to purchase less of that item due to both the substitution effect and the income effect. When the pizza was on sale at the student council he was selling for $2, Mo didn't buy any. When the price dropped to $1.75 he bought one for Moe's daily lunch.

An increase in demand and a decrease in supply raises the slaughterhouse price, but the effect on the equilibrium quantity cannot be determined. 1. For each quantity, consumers should place a higher value on the goods and producers should set a higher price to supply the goods. Therefore, the price is higher.

Suppose the United States is currently producing 200 tons of hamburgers and 60 tons of tacos and Mexico is currently producing 4
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

United States is producing 200 tons of hamburgers and 60 tons of tacos.

United States' opportunity cost for producing 1 ton of hamburgers

= \frac{60}{200}

= 0.3

United States' opportunity cost for producing 60 tons of tacos.

= \frac{200}{60}

= 3.33

So we see that US has a lower opportunity cost in producing hamburgers, so it has a comparative advantage in producing hamburgers.

Mexico is producing 40 tons of hamburgers and 50 tons of tacos.

Mexico's opportunity cost of producing a ton of hamburgers

= \frac{50}{40}

= 1.25

Mexico's opportunity cost of producing a ton of tacos

= \frac{40}{50}

= 0.8

So we see that Mexico has a lower opportunity cost in producing tacos, so it has a comparative advantage in making tacos.

Since US specializes in making hamburgers, it will produce 200 tons of hamburgers and 0 tons of tacos.

Mexico specializes in making tacos, it will produce 50 tons of tacos and 0 tons of hamburgers.

Purple Rose Corporation reported pretax book income of $500,000.
Vikentia [17]

Answer: $68,000

Explanation:

Let us assume that we are given a tax rate of 34% to use in computing the question. Therefore, Purple Rose's current income tax expense or benefit will be:

Pre-tax book income = $500,000

Less: Tax depreciation = $300,000

Net Income = $500,000 - $300,000 = $200,000

Current income tax expenses at 34% will then be:

= 34% × Net income

= 34/100 × $200,000

= $68,000
