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%.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

d. $1,080,000

Explanation:

Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - ( Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Variable Manufacturing Overhead + Variable Selling )

Contribution per unit = $160 - ($22 + $15+ $12 + $3)

Contribution per unit = $160 - $52

Contribution per unit = $108 per unit

Contribution margin for the next year = $108 per unit * 10,000

Contribution margin for the next year = $1,080,000

choli [55]

Answer: $80

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

The opportunity cost of writing a term paper is $80 that she values by going out with a friend and it is the higher cost alternative.
