During the course of a year, the labor force consists of the same 6,000 people. Employers have chosen not to hire 420 of these p

eople in the face of government regulation making it too costly to employ them. Hence, they remain unemployed throughout the year. At the same time, 300 different people are always unemployed due to job changes each month during the year. There is no seasonal employment.

Answer:

5%

12%

Explanation:

Unemployment rate is the fraction of the labour force that are unemployed but are actively looking for work

Types of unemployment include:

Frictional unemployment : it is the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. The 300 unemployed people are frictionally unemployed

structural unemployment : it occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition . Structural unemployment tends to be permanent. The 420 unemployed people are structurally unemployed

Voluntary unemployment : e.g. worker at a fast-food restaurant who quits work and attends college.

Cyclical unemployment : occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy

Frictional unemployment = (total frictional unemployed people / total labour force ) x 100

(300 / 6000) x 100 = 5%

Total unemployment rate = (total frictional unemployed people + total structural unemployed individuals / total labour force ) x 100

[(300 + 420) / 6000] x 100 = 12%

Suppose that the market demand curve for bean sprouts is given by P = 1,660 - 4Q, where P is the price and Q is total industry o
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

In equilibrium, total output by the two firms will be option e= 300.  

Q = q_{1} + q_{2}

Q = 100 + 200

Q = 300

Explanation:

Data Given:

Market Demand Curve = P = 1660-4Q

where, P = price and Q = total industry output

Each firm's marginal cost = $60 per unit of output

So, we know that Q =  q_{1} + q_{2}

where q_{} being the individual firm output.

Solution:

P = 1660-4Q

P = 1660- 4(q_{1} + q_{2})

P = 1660 - 4q_{1} - 4q_{2}

Including the marginal cost of firm 1 and multiplying the whole equation by q_{1}

Let's suppose new equation is X

X =  1660q_{1} - 4q_{1} ^{2} - 4q_{1}q_{2} - 60q_{1}

Taking the derivative w.r.t to q_{1}, we will get:

X^{'} = 1660 - 8q_{1} - 4q_{2} - 60 = 0

Making rearrangements into the equation:

8q_{1} + q_{2} = 1660 - 60

8q_{1} + q_{2} = 1600

Dividing the whole equation by 4

2q_{1} +q_{2} = 400

Solving for q_{1}

2q_{1} = 400 - q_{2}

q_{1} = 200 - 0.5 q_{2}  

Including the marginal cost of firm 1 and multiplying the whole equation by q_{2}

P = 1660 - 4q_{1} - 4q_{2}

Let's suppose new equation is Y

Y =  1660q_{2} - 4q_{1}q_{2} -4q_{2} ^{2} - 60q_{2}

Pugging in the value of q_{1}

Y =  1660q_{2} - 4q_{2}(200 - 0.5 q_{2}) -4q_{2} ^{2} - 60q_{2}

Y =  1660q_{2} - 800q_{2} +2q_{2} ^{2} -4q_{2} ^{2} - 60q_{2}

Y =  1600q_{2} - 800q_{2} -2q_{2} ^{2}

Taking the derivative w.r.t q_{2}

Y^{'} = 1600 - 800 - 4q_{2} = 0

Solving for q_{2}

4q_{2} = 800

q_{2} = 200

q_{1} = 200 - 0.5 q_{2}

Plugging in the value of q_{2} to get the value of q_{1}

q_{1} = 200 - 0.5 (200)

q_{1} = 200 - 100

q_{1} = 100

Q = q_{1} + q_{2}

Q = 100 + 200

Q = 300

Hence, in equilibrium, total output by the two firms will be option

e= 300.

Lopez Corporation incurred the following costs while manufacturing its product.
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

(a) $353,400

(b) $375,200

Explanation:

Given that,

Materials used in product = $123,900

Advertising expense = $49,600

Depreciation on plant = 67,500

Property taxes on plant = 23,400

Property taxes on store = 8,420

Delivery expense = 24,000

Labor costs of assembly-line workers = 116,200

Sales commissions = 41,100

Factory supplies used = 24,600

Salaries paid to sales clerks = 53,000

(a) Cost of goods manufactured:

= Material used in product + Depreciation on plant + Labor costs of assembly-line workers + Factory supplies used + Property taxes on plant + Beginning Work in process inventory - Ending Work in process inventory

= $123,900 + $67,500 + $116,200 + $24,600 + $23,400 + $14,700 - $16,900

= $353,400

(b) Cost of goods sold:

= Cost of goods Manufactured + Opening finished goods - Closing finished goods

= $353,400 + $70,700 - $48,900

= $375,200

TEA [102]

Answer:

A. used by businesses to price unique products for different jobs

As the product are different to each other in properties and materials or are required to be performed in different location (IE: real-state maintenance or construction) We need to follow the cost on a per-job basis

Explanation:

B. used by businesses to price identical products

No when the product are identical we don't need to discriminate over which customer ask the job nor the type of product it was requested.

C. used to calculate equivalent units

NO. That is processing cost

D. used to calculate the percentage of work completed

NO that is a given, we measure the amount of work completed under pretty much any cost method.

ATech has fixed costs of $7 million and profits of $4 million. Its competitor, ZTech, is roughly the same size and this year ear
Triss [41]

Answer: Degree of Operating Leverage

A Tech = 2.75

Z Tech = 3

Explanation:

As defined in question itself,

Degree of Operating Leverage = 1 + \frac{fixed\ cost}{Profit}

As here, it is provided that profit for both the companies are same amounting $4 million.

Although the fixed cost differ by $1 million.

A Tech Degree of operating Leverage = 1 + \frac{7,000,000}{4,000,000} = 2.75

Z Tech Degree of Operating Leverage = 1 + \frac{8,000,000}{4,000,000} = 3

This clearly demonstrates that A Tech will reach its break even faster than the Z Tech as the ratio of fixed cost to variable cost is lower in A tech in comparison to Z Tech.
