harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

3. the more resources a society uses to produce one good, the fewer resources it has available to produce another

Explanation:

The production possibilities frontier (PPF) is a curve that shows the trade-offs that a person, firm, or country has to incurr when producing two goods.

As economic agents have limited resources, they can only produce a limited amount of one good over the other.

If more resources are devoted to the production of one good, for example, butter, then, less resources are left for the production of the other good, for example, guns.

With each additional unit of butter produced, more resources are spent, which means that less resources are available to produce guns.

In other words, the opportunity cost of producing butter increases as more butter is made, causing the PPF to bow outward.

Suire Corporation is considering dropping product D14E. Data from the company's accounting system appear below: Sales $ 670,000
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

a. According to the company's accounting system, what is the net operating income earned by product D14E? (Net losses should be indicated by a minus sign.)

  • net loss -$65,000

b. What would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of dropping product D14E? Should the product be dropped?

  • financial disadvantage of discontinuing the produce is -$68,000, so the company should not discontinue the product since its losses would increase

Explanation:

total sales $670,000

- variable expenses $295,000

- fixed manufacturing expenses $246,000

- fixed selling and administrative expenses $194,000

net loss = $65,000

if product D14E is discontinued, $196,000 + $111,000 = $307,000, of fixed expenses can be avoided, but $133,000 are not avoidable. if the company discontinues the product, its losses will increase by $133,000 - $65,000 = $68,000

<em>The value added at each stage</em>

Stage                          Value added($)

1                                   1000

2   (2000-1000) =         1,000

3   (6,000- 2000) =      4,000

4    (10,000 - 6,000) =   4,000

b)

The amount by GDP is increased = $10,000

c) Reduce GDP

Explanation:

Gross domestic product (GDP) which is the total market value of all the final goods and services produced in a country over a given period of time. The GDP can be calculated using the value added approach.

Here the GPD figure is ascertained by summing the amount of additional value created by each factor of production at each stage of the production process of the final product.

a)

<em>The value added at each stage</em>

Stage                          Value added($)

1                                   1000

2   (2000-1000) =         1,000

3   (6,000- 2000) =      4,000

4    (10,000 - 6,000) =   4,000

b)

The amount by GDP is increased = $10,000 which is the total value added or the market value of the final goods

c)

If the lumber were imported it would be deducted from the value of export and thus reduce GDP.  Remember that GDP is the market value of all good and service produced within a given country over certain period of time .
