Answer: Four pies.
Explanation:
Marginal cost is the additional cost of producing one extra unit of a good or service.
From this graph we see the marginal cost rise when the first pie is produced and then it subsequently decreases as the second and third pie is produced which is where it reaches its lowest point.
From the fourth pie, the marginal cost begins to rise again which means the marginal cost begins to increase when the producer makes four pies.
Answer:
$6,225.08
Explanation:
The computation of the future value of these cash flows in year 4 is shown below:
= Year 1 cash flow × (1 + interest rate)^year + Year 2 cash flow × (1 + interest rate)^year + Year 3 cash flow × (1 + interest rate)^year + Year 4 cash flow × (1 + interest rate)^year
= $950 × 1.08^3 + $1,180 × 1.08^2 + $1,400 × 1.08^1 + $2,140
= $950 × 1.259712 + $1,180 × 1.1664 + $1,400 × 1.08 + $2,140
= $1,196.7264 + $1,376.352 + $1,512 + $2,140
= $6,225.08
Answer:
Because the current money multiplier is <u>2</u>, the Fed would <u>BUY $500,000</u> worth of bonds, <u>INCREASING</u> the monetary base and so increasing the money supply by $1 million.
Explanation:
if the Fed wants to increase the money supply by $1 million, then it would need to purchase US securities worth $500,000. The formulas used to calculate the impact of the Fed's operations are:
increase in money supply = additional funds x money multiplier
- money multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio = 1 / 50% = 2
- desired increase in money supply = $1 million
$1,000,000 = additional funds x 2
additional funds = $1,000,000 / 2 = $500,000
Answer:
$1,901,385
Explanation:
First unit produced by lambda took 5,000 hours to produce and required $30,000 worth of materials and equipment usage.
The second unit took 4,500 hours and used $24,000 worth of materials and equipment usage.
learning rate = time needed to produce second unit / time needed to produce first unit = 4,500 hours / 5,000 hours = 90%
materials and equipment usage rate = $24,000 / $30,000 = 80%
using the attached table of cumulative values, we can determine the cumulative improvement factors needed to solve this question:
Olsan's accumulated cost for producing 20 more guidance controls
-
work hours = 4,500 x 14.61 (90% and 20 units) x $25 per hour = $1,643,625
- materials and equipment = $24,000 x 10.74 (95% and 20 units) = $257,760
- total = $1,901,385
