2. The following table provides information about the production possibilities frontier of a Country.(4)

1 answer:

3 0

Based on the PPF of the country, if the country were to produce an additional 20 computers at that level, the opportunity cost would be 40 kg of wheat.

If a technological advancement allows for computers to be produced more efficiently, the PPF would expand outwards as shown in the attachment.

<h3>What would be the opportunity cost?</h3>

At the point where this country can produce 10 computers, the amount of wheat it can produce is 400 kg wheat.

If it produces 20 more computers, it will move to the point where it can produce 30 computers and 360 kg of wheat. Opportunity cost would be:

= 400 - 360

= 40 kg wheat.

<h3>What happens due to a technological advancement?</h3>

When there is an improvement in technology, the production capacity of a nation increases. This leads to the production possibilities frontier expanding outward.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

a. (i) $1.40

(ii) $190,000

b. $3,410,000

Explanation:

The computation of fixed cost of maintenance annually and the variable cost of maintenance per visitor is shown below:-

a. (i) Variable cost per visitor = (Maintenance cost at highest number of visitors - Maintenance cost at lowest number of visitors) ÷ (Highest number of visitor - Lowest number of visitor)

= ($3,830,000 - $2,773,000) ÷ ($2,600,000 - $1,845,000)

= $1,057,000 ÷ $755,000

= $1.40

(ii) Fixed cost of maintenance = Total costs - Variable cost at that level

= $2,773,000 - $1,845,000 × $1.40

= $2,773,000 - $2,583,000

= $190,000

b. The computation of estimated maintenance costs is shown below:-

Estimated maintenance costs = Fixed costs + Variable cost per visitors × Number of visitors

= $190,000 + 2,300,000 × $1.40

= $190,000 + $3,220,000

= $3,410,000

A farmer needs 500 vats of fertilizer a week during the summer. He has a barn that can hold plenty of vats which cost around $1

Simora [160]

Answer:

option (c) $500

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Demand, D = 500 vats of fertilizers

Cost, C = $1

Ordering costs for a new order, F = $250

Now,

Economic Order Quantity = $\sqrt{\frac{2FD}{C}}$

on substituting the respective values, we get

Economic Order Quantity = $\sqrt{\frac{2\times250\times500}{1}}$

Economic Order Quantity = √250,000

Economic Order Quantity = 500

Cost of Economic Order Quantity = 500 × $1 = $500

Hence,

the answer is option (c) $500
