Can someone plz explain me question no.4. Why is the answer B?
http://theallpapers.com/papers/CIE/AS_and_ALevel/Economics (9708)/9708_w13_qp_31.pdf

In the question, the price of each factor, the product it produces and the selling price of the product has been given.
Take X. It costs $4 and creates 2 products. It will generate revenue of $3 per product, which is $6. This is higher than the price of the factor hence more of X should be produced.
Take Y. It costs $20 and creates 5 products. It generates revenue of $3 per product, which is $15. This is lower than the price of the factor hence less of Y should be produced.

Hi,

Q#10:

In this question u have to first work out how much x has to receive from business as a partner.

Capital for x = 240,000 (which he will receive)

Goodwill share of x= 50,000 * 3/5 = 30,000 (which he will receive)

So his total share is 240,000 + 30,000 = 270,000

Now its given that shares are issued as purchase consideration

200,000 * 1.60 = 320,000

this has to be divided equally b/w partners as directed in question. So 160,000 belongs to each partner.

Now total share of X = 270,000 out of which worth of shares he is getting is 160,000 so 270,000 - 160,000 = 110,000 will be paid in cash. (d)

Q# 26:

In this question first u have to find no. of units produced

Formula is:

Closing units + Sold units - opening units = units produced

Closing units & sold units are added because they are produced this year & opening is subtracted because they are brought forward from previous year.

Now values

3500 + 13100 - 4000 = 12600

but this is only 90 % production as mentioned in question that 10% is lost. we have to find 100 % so

12600 = 90 % of full Production(X)

12600 = 90/100 * X

12600 * 100 / 90 = X

X = 14000 Units .

So total units produced are 14,000 but we have to find labor hours. One unit requires 4 labor hours so 14000 * 4 = 56000 (C)

Hope u understand ....
