Answer:
The cost per month is increasing at a rate $365.
Explanation:
Differentiation Formula
Given that,
A manufacturer of handcrafted wine racks has determined that the cost to produce x units per month is given by
.
Again given that,
the rate of changing production is 13 unit per month
i.e 
To find the cost per month, we need to find out the value 
when production is changing at the rate 13 units per month and the production is 70 units.
Differentiating with respect to t
Plugging
[ plugging x=70]
=364
[ The unit of c is not given. Assume that the unit of c is dollar.]
The cost per month is increasing at a rate $365.
Answer:
A) change in the cost of eating index = <u>20% increase</u>
B) Suppose that consumers are completely indifferent between two chickens and one ham. For this example, how large is the substitution bias in the official "cost-of-eating" index?
The <u>INCREASE</u> in the cost-of-eating index is <u>18</u> %.
The <u>OVERESTIMATE</u> of inflation in the cost of eating reflects substitution bias.
Explanation:
2015
product units unit cost total
chickens 30 $4 $120
hams 10 $5 $50
<u>steaks 10 $8 $80</u>
total $250
2016
product units unit cost total
chickens 30 $5 $150
hams 10 $7 $70
<u>steaks 10 $8 $80</u>
total $300
A) ($300 - $250) / $250 = 20%
B)
if consumers are indifferent for 2 chickens per 1 ham, then the new basket should be assuming consumers will purchase the cheapest option:
2016
product units unit cost total
hams 25 $7 $175
<u>steaks 10 $8 $80</u>
total $255
the increase in inflation would have been = ($255 - $250) / $250 = 2%
the substitution bias = reported inflation - real inflation = 20% - 2% = 18%

Particulars Year 0 Year 1 Year 2
Cash flows ($1,500,000) A$1,000,000 A$2,000,000
DCF 14% 1 0.8772 0.7695
Present Values 1500,000 A$877,200 A$ 1,538,935
Conversion 1 0.55 0.60
P V in US$ (1,500,000) 482,460 923,361
Therefore Net Present Value = 482,460 +923,361 - 1,500,000 = $(94,179)
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Model A12:
selling price= $60
variable cost= $43
Model B22:
selling price= $111
variable costs= $79
Model C124:
selling price= $402
variable costs= $309.
Sales mix:
A12= 60%
B22= 27%
C124= 13%.
Fixed costs= $225,789
First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units for the company as a whole:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (0.6*60 + 0.27*111 + 0.13*402) - (0.6*43 + 0.27*79 + 0.13*309)
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 30.93
Break-even point (units)= 225,789/30.93
Break-even point (units)= 7,300 units
Now, for each product:
Sales mix:
A12= 0.6*7,300= 4,380
B22= 0.27*7,300= 1,971
C124= 0.13*7,300= 949
An activity's normal time and cost are = 8 and $100 respectively
estimated crash time and cost are = 6 and $160 respectively
Activity's crash cost per unit time = ?
crash cost per unit time = cost slope and,
cost slope = rise/run = (crash cost - normal cost) / (normal time - crash time)
cost slope = (160 - 100) / (8 - 6) = 60 / 2 = $30
so, crash cost per unit time is $30.
