Option 1.
Total factor productivity is the measure of productivity which is the ratio of output to weighted average of inputs. As R and D, is a fixed cost, to calculate total factor productivity, variable costs are needed.
Because of fixed R&D costs, are needed to generate variable costs: total factor productivity costs; capital...
QUESTION 42 If there are large fixed costs due to research and development, perfect competition does not generate new ideas because o a. the government does not adequately fund innovation b. with monopolistic competition, prices are equal to the marginal cost minus a markup c. firms need to recoup these costs through higher profits O d. with monopolistic competition, prices are equal to the marginal cost O e. perfectly competitive firms always set prices lower than the marginal cost QUESTION...
Match the following letter for the correct number A. Fixed Factor or Fixed Costs B. Total costs = Fixed Costs + Variable Costs C. Marginal Costs = Marginal Revenue D. Variable Factor or Variable Costs E. Diminishing Marginal Returns F. Specialization G. Economic Profit = Total Revenue - Total Explicit Costs - Total Implicit Costs H. Marginal Cost I. Marginal Revenue J. sunk costs 1. A small Italian restaurant has to turn away customers during a peak season rush because...
The breakeven point of 2,000 units, variable costs total $5,000, and fixed costs total $8,000. The 12,001st unit sold will contribute ________ to profits. A. 4.00 B. 6.00 C. 1.50 D. 2.50
QUESTION 1 If fixed costs are $45,000 and the total costs are $60,000 at an activity level of 6,000 units, variable costs are: $10.00 per unit $7.50 per unit $5.00 per unit $2.50 per unit QUESTION 2 The contribution margin is equal to: Revenues - fixed costs Revenues - variable costs Fixed costs + Variable costs Fixed costs - Variable costs QUESTION 3 When other factors remain constant, an increase in variable costs: Increases the number of units needed to...
How does learning by doing affect average total costs? Short-run average total costs will rise because employees will continually fail, causing training costs (variable costs) to increase for the firm. Short-run average total costs will rise because firms will hire employees that have failed in previous jobs, causing decreased productivity Short-run average total costs will fall because employees learn which production processes work and become more productive given the available inputs. Short-run average total costs will remain unchanged because any...

Number of Vaccines Administered 600 500 450 Total costs: Fixed costs D $18,000 с Variable costs B 25,000 D Total costs E $43,000 F Cost per vaccine administered: Fixed cost G H Variable cost K L Total cost per vaccine administered M N Based on the above information, can you find the dollar amounts of A through O? 61 words
A firm's average total costs initially decrease because: A. at low levels of output, average fixed costs make up a large part of average total costs. B. at low levels of output, average variable costs make up a large part of average total costs. C. at low levels of output, average fixed costs make up a small part of average total costs D. the law of diminishing returns applies as output increases
