Answer:

This technique would be adopted because it would lower production costs and increase economic profit.

Explanation:

Consider the given problem here there are “4 factors” of production these are “Land”, “labor”, “capital” and “entrepreneurial ability”. Now, price of each input is given in the question.

given the price and the cost adopting “technique 1” is given by.

=> C1 = 4*2 + 3*1 + 3*5 + 2*3

         = 32

Similarly, given the price and the cost adopting “technique 2” is given by.

=> C2 = 4*4 + 3*2 + 3*2 + 2*1

          = 30  

Similarly, given the price and the cost adopting “technique 3” is given by.

=> C3 = 4*2 + 3*4 + 3*3 + 2*1

          = 31  

Now, given the price and the cost adopting “technique 4” is given by.

=> C4 = 4*4 + 3*1 + 3*1 + 2*4

          = 30

Finally, given the price and the cost adopting “technique 5” is given by.

=> C5 = 4*4 + 3*3 + 3*2 + 2*1

         = 33  

here the most efficient technique is “2 and 4” having least cost.

Now, for new technology the cost of using it is given by.

=> 4*3 + 3*3 + 3*1 + 2*2 = 28 < 30

Therefore, This technique would be adopted because it would lower production costs and increase economic profit.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Rent expense of $2,000

Prepaid rent of $22,000

Explanation:

Since we were told that On November 1,2019 Movers Inc., paid the amount of $24,000 for a 2 years' rent which will start or begin on November 1 which means Movers' year-end financial statements as of December 31,2019 will show:

Rent expense of $2,000

Prepaid rent of $22,000

The rent expense of $2,000 is calculated as

(1÷12*$24,000)=$2,000

The prepaid rent of $22,000 is calculated as

$24,000-$2,000

$22,000

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

4 apples

Explanation:

Given that

Point A = 50 apples and 40 pears

Point B = 46 apples and 41 pears

These points are located on the PPF at which various combinations of products are displayed by available resources and technologies.  

So, the opportunity cost of moving from Point A to Point B would be 4 apples which is shown below:

= Point A apples - Point B apples

= 50 apples - 46 apples

= 4 apples
