Answer:

Consider the following explanation.

Explanation:

Marginal product MP is the increase in production of good because of unit increase in labor. Value of marginal product VMP is the increase in value of production of goods because of unit increase in labor.

The minimum wage is a regulation where the person who hired the labor needs to pay minimum wage and cannot pay below that. Here, the minimum wage is below the competitive market rate so it will not make any difference because the workers are already getting $7 as wage which is more than the minimum wage which is $6.

The Wester Corporation produces three products with the following costs and selling prices:
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Product A, then Product C and finally Product B

Explanation:

The unit profit  = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit - Fixed cost per unit

Unit Profit of product A = $21 - $11 - $5 = $5

Unit Profit of product B = $12 - $7 - $3 = $2

Unit Profit of product C = $32 - $18 - $9 = $5

The profit of each product in 1 machine hour = 1 hour/ Machine hours per unit * Unit Profit

Profit of Product A in 1 hour using machine = 1/0.2 * $5 = $25

Profit of Product B in 1 hour using machine = 1/0.5*$2 = $4

Profit of Product C in 1 hour using machine = 1/0.2* $5 = $25

Product A & Product C have same profit in 1 hour machine, then we have to consider Direct labor hours per unit which product A is 0.4 while product C is 0.7. It means Product C is more costly in direct labour than Product A.

In short, then the ranking of the products from the most profitable to the least profitable use of the constrained resource is Product A, then Product C and finally Product B

velikii [3]

Answer: $47.50

Explanation:

The price pr share given debt and the number of shares if the company had both an all equity structure and a mixed structure can be expressed as;

Price per Share = Debt Value / (Number of Shares under All-equity plan - Number of shares under mixed plan)

Price per share = 109,250 / (15,000 - 12,700)

= 109,250 / 2,300

= $47.50
