oking. On the other hand, suppose Beverly earns fifteen dollars for time spent in the labor market or can produce a meal also worth fifteen dollars for an hour of cooking. This implies that a) Jean-Luc is not as good (not as efficient) as Beverly in both activities. b) Beverly has absolute advantage in both activities. c) the opportunity cost of a home-cooked meal is lower when Beverly produces it than when Jean-Luc does. d) all of the above are correct.

Answer:

b) Beverly has absolute advantage in both activities.

Explanation:

Absolute advantage is defined as the ability of an entity to produce more output given the same resources as other entities.

It shows superior production capacity of one entity over another.

In the given scenario Jean-Luc earns ten dollars for time spent in the labor market or can produce a meal worth five dollars for an hour of cooking. On the other hand, suppose Beverly earns fifteen dollars for time spent in the labor market or can produce a meal also worth fifteen dollars for an hour of cooking.

For both time spent in the labour market and in home cooking Beverly outperforms Jean-Luc so she has absolute advantage in bother activities.

Answer:

The Total manufacturing costs will increase while the unit manufacturing costs will decrease

Explanation:

The most likely behavior of the total manufacturing costs as well as the unit manufacturing costs is that the Total manufacturing costs will increase while the unit manufacturing costs will decrease because Atlas Manufacturing has the capacity to produce 50,000 valves annually which is per year in which it produces 40,000 valves and is about to increase the production to 45,000 valves the next coming year which will cause the manufacturing costs to increase and inturn cause the unit manufacturing costs to decrease.

The president of State University wants to forecast student enrollment for this academic year based on the following historical
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Option (b) 19,500

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Year                 Enrollments (A_t)

5 years ago         15,000

4 years ago         16,000

3 years ago         18,000

2 years ago         20,000

Last year              21,000

α = 0.5

Forecast for two years ago  = 16,000

Now,

Forecast for last year

i.e year 5

F₅ = (1 - α ) F₄ + α (A₄)

here,

= ((1 - 0.5 ) × 16,000 ) + ( 0.5 × 20,000  )

= 8,000 + 10,000

= 18,000

Thus,

Forecast for this year

F₆ = (1 - α)F₅ + α(A₅)

= ( (1 - 0.5 ) × 18, 000 ) + ( 0.5 × 21,000 )

= 9,000 + 10,500

= 19,500

Hence,

Option (b) 19,500

Over the past year, productivity grew 2%, capital grew 1%, and labor grew 1%. If the elasticities of output with respect to capi
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The output growth rate is 3%.

Explanation:

Use the growth accounting equation as follow

ΔA% = ΔY% - αΔK% - βΔL%

Where

∆A = change in productivity = 2%

∆K = growth in capital =

∆L = growth in labor =

α = elasticity of capital = 0.2

β = elasticity of labor = 0.8

∆Y = change in output = ?

Placing values in the formula

2% = ΔY% - ( 0.2 x 1% ) – ( 0.8 x 1% )

2% = ΔY% - 1%

ΔY% = 2% + 1%

ΔY% = 3%

Hence, the output growth rate is 3%.

Spates, Inc., manufactures and sells two products: Product H2 and Product E0. Data concerning the expected production of each pr
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

$564.98

Explanation:

For computing the allocated amount of product H2, first we have to determine the overhead rate which is shown below:

Overhead rate = Total manufacturing overhead ÷ Total direct labor-hours

= $274,468 ÷ 3,692 direct labor hours

= $74.34 per hour rate

Now the overhead allocated amount would be

= Overhead rate × Direct labor hours per unit of product H2

= $74.34 × 7.6

= $564.98
