The budget constrain is how much of each good can Joe's buy and it's given by:
Income = P_f * Q_f +P_s * Q_s
P_f = Price_of_Food
Q_f = Quantity_of_Food
P_s = Price_of_Shelter
Q_s = Quantity_of_Shelter
In case a):
300 = 5*Q_f(a) + 100*Q_s
in case b):
300 = 10*Q_f(b) + 100*Q_s
To draw each line, you can make a graphic in which the x axis is Q_s and y axis is Q_f
set Q_f = 0 and solve for Q_s which gives => Q_s = 3 so, in the x axis the line will start in Q_s = 3
the same, and solve for Q_f and it'll give =>
Q_f(a) = 60
Q_f(b) = 30
So, from the start in x axis in Q_s = 3 you draw the line (a) to the y axis Q_f(a) = 60 and you draw the line (b) to the y axis Q_f(b) = 30
To get the oportunity cost you have to divide the cost of what is given up (food) by what is gained (shelter).
Oportunity_Cost_Food(a) = 5/100 = 0.05
Oportunity_Cost_Food(b) = 10/100 = 0.10
As you can see, the oportunity cost of food increase
The GDP expressed in constant, or unchanging prices is called real GDP.
Real GDP or Real Gross Domestic Product is the measurement of the value of economic output modified for the changes of prices like inflation or deflation. This modification will transform the measure of the money-value, nominal GDP, into an index intended quantity of total output.
Answer:
Variance = 0.02141851
Explanation:
We first calculate the mean for the stocks
Mean = (0.1858 - 0.0558 + 0.2081) / 3
Mean = 0.3381 / 3
Mean = 0.1127
Variance = [(0.1858 - 0.1127)^2 + (- 0.0558 - 0.1127)^2 + (0.2081 - 0.1127)^2] / 3 -1
Variance = [0.0731^2 + (-0.1685^2) + 0.0954^2] / 2
Variance = 0.00534361 + 0.02839225 + 0.00910116 / 2
Variance = 0.04283702 / 2
Variance = 0.02141851
The variance of returns is 0.02141851
Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $7.53 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The company's executives estimated that direct labor would be $5,130,000 (190,000 hours at $27/hour) and that factory overhead would be $1,430,000 for the current period.
We need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 1,430,000/190,000= $7.53 per direct labor hour
