In the UK, it is estimated there are 22.36 million households, and collectively they pay approximately £2,938 million annually for electricity, assuming a 365-day year. Therefore, the total amount paid by UK households each year for electricity is £2,938 million.
Answer:
$311,100
Explanation:
Solution
Let's remember the following details:
The assumption is that Chester Corp has reduced its workforce by = %
The estimated cost of exit interviews = 100
Normal separation expenses = $5000
Now,
The total number of employees = 305
The reduction in workforce = 20%
So,
The number of employees being laid off = 305 x 20% = 61 individuals
Thus,
The separation expense per employee = $5000
Cost for exit interviews = $100
Total expense per individual = $5,100
Now,
The overall separation cost = 61 individuals x total separation cost per employee
That is,
= 61 x 5100 = $311,100
Solution and Explanation:
1. MC = Cost of raw materials + Labor cost
MC = 5 plus (10 divide by 2)
MC = $10
2. TFC = $300
Q = 300, AFC = TFC/Q = 300 divide by 300 = $1
3. Nicholas's optimum output is likely to be greater
Rationale: P = MR = $15, MC = $10
With MR exceeding MC, increasing output is advisable until MR equals MC to maximize profits.
4. His profit-maximizing output would likely increase
Reason: P = MR = $15, MC = $4 + $5 = $9
Since MR > MC, Nicholas should amplify his output until they are equated at the profit-maximizing point.
