Answer:

Option(b) $30

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

marginal product of labor per capital should be equal to marginal product of capital i.e.

Marginal product of labor ÷ Price of capital = Marginal product of capital ÷ wage

Price of capital = Marginal product of labor × Wage ÷ Marginal product of capital

= (75 × $10) ÷ 25

Price of capital = $30

Bob,s candle factory is considering three different manufacturing options. Option A uses hand labor with fixed costs of $10,000
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

a. If demand for Bob's candles is 2500, which option should he pick?

  • OPTION A

and what is the cost?

  • $16,875

b. If demand for Bob's candles is 4500 which option should he $19,950

  • OPTION B

and what is the cost?

  • $19,950

Explanation:

Option A uses hand labor with fixed costs of $10,000 and variable costs of $2.75/candle.

Option B uses a combination of hand and automation with fixed costs of $15,000 and variable costs of $1.10/candle.

Option C is highly automated with fixed costs of $20,000 and variable costs of $0.75/candle.

demand = 2,500 units

option A = $10,000 + ($2.75 x 2,500) = $16,875

option B = $15,000 + ($1.10 x 2,500) = $17,750

option C = $20,000 + ($0.75 x 2,500) = $21,875

demand = 4,500 units

option A = $10,000 + ($2.75 x 4,500) = $22,375

option B = $15,000 + ($1.10 x 4,500) = $19,950

option C = $20,000 + ($0.75 x 4,500) = $23,375

Neporo4naja [7]
This is known as in-sample forecast. It estimated the model using all available data and then comparing it to the model's fixed values to the actual realizations. But, this method is known to attract an overly positive picture of the model's forecasting ability since common fitting algorithms tend to take pains to avoid big prediction errors and are also inclined to overfitting (mistaking noise for signal in the data).

If a firm hires one worker and eliminates four units of capital, and hires one more worker and replaces three more units of capi
Olin [163]

Answer:

C) the firm is experiencing a diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution.

Explanation:

Isoquant reflects factor combinations which give producer same output level. It is analogous to consumer's indifference curve, reflecting goods combinations giving same satisfaction level.

  • It is downward sloping as same quantity of a good can be produced by - one factor increase, other factor decrease & one factor decrease, other factor increase.
  • It is also concave i.e inwards bending towards origin, because of fallings slope. It implies that marginal rate of technical substitution (fall in one factor , replaced by gain in other factor) with same level of output i.e same isoquant - keeps on falling.

This concept is highlighted in the given statement : If a firm hires one worker and eliminates four units of capital, and hires one more worker and replaces three more units of capital, keeping output constant.

EXERCISE 5-11 Missing Data; Basic CVP Concepts LO5-1 LO5-9 Fill in the missing amounts in each of the eight case situations belo
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

A) contribution per unit:

(180,000 - 120,000) / 15,000 = $4

B) net income: 180,000 - 120,000 - 50,000 = 10,000

C) units sold: contribution x units - fixed cost = income

$10 x units sold - 32,000 = 8,000

units sold: 4,000

D) variable cost:

(sales - expense) / units = contribution per unit

(100,000 - expense)/4,000 = 10

expense = 60,000

E) sales:

contribution x units + expense

10,000 x $13 + 70,000 = 200,000

F) fixed expense:

units x contribution - fixed = income

10,000 x $13 - fixed = 12,000

130,000 -12,000 = fixed = 118,000

H) contribution margin unit

contribution x units - fixed cost = income

6,000 x contribution - 100,000 = -10,000

contribution = 90,000 / 6,000 = 15

G) variable expenses:

sales = variable expense + contribution x units sold

300,000 = var expense + 15 x 6000

variable expense = 210,000
