Answer:

C) When profits are zero, the firm is earning sufficient revenue to cover the opportunity cost.

Explanation:

When benefits are zero, the firm is gaining adequate income to cater for the open door expense. Misfortunes bring about exit and discharge assets to stream to business sectors where there are benefits. Minimal income and negligible expenses are equivalent; some other yield levels will bring about decreased interest.

Since quite a while ago running a focused balance, a firm is winning zero financial benefits as they won't keep on delivering because it could procure a superior return in another industry. Keep on creating because such interest relates to negative bookkeeping benefits.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Balance after 30 years = $151,018.50

Explanation:

In order to calculate this, we will calculate the future value on an amount invested, gaining interest over the years of investment, and this is given by:

$FV = PV (1 + r)^{t}$

where:

FV = future value

PV = present value

r = interest rate

t = time in years.

Hence the future value is calculated as follows:

1. For the first 10 years at 7% interest:

7% interest = 7/100 = 0.07

$FV = 12,500 (1 + 0.07)^{10}$

$FV = 12,500 (1.07)^{10}\\FV = 12,500 * 1.967 = 24,589.392$

2. For the last 20 years at 9.5%(0.095) interest:

Note that for the remaining 20 years, the present value (PV) used = 24,589.392, as ending balance after the first 10 years

$FV = 24,589.392 (1 + 0.095)^{20}$

$FV = 24,589.392 (1.095)^{20}\\FV= 24,589.392 * 6.1416\\FV = 151,018.496$

Total Future value earned = $151,018.50

White raven [17]

Answer:

D) all of the above

Explanation:

Probably the single most labor reducing factor is new technology and how it is applied within a business. Automation is probably the single most important labor reducing factor in the US over the last 30 years. This is specially for factory workers, since automation is responsible for fewer industry jobs, not China.

New technologies increase marginal returns for labor and they also have changed organizations completely.

Computers, the internet, smartphones, Amazon, etc., have changed our world. Even the military has changed, a pilot can be located inside a US base and his airplane is flying a mission in the Middle East.

Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $13 per unit and whose variable expense is $1

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Break-even point in unit sales = 2,300 units

Break-even point in dollar sales = $29,908.97 (Approx)

New break-even point in unit sales = 2,600 units

New break-even point in dollar sales = $33,810.14 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Selling price = $13 per unit

Variable expense = $11 per unit

Fixed expense = $4,600

Computation:

Break-even point in unit sales = Fixed expense / [Selling price - Variable expense]

Break-even point in unit sales = 4,600 [13-11]

Break-even point in unit sales = 2,300 units

Contribution margin = [(13-11)] / 13 = 15.38%

Break-even point in dollar sales = Fixed expense / Contribution margin

Break-even point in dollar sales = $4,600 / 15.38%

Break-even point in dollar sales = $29,908.97 (Approx)

New break-even point in unit sales = [4,600+600][13-11]

New break-even point in unit sales = 2,600 units

New break-even point in dollar sales = Fixed expense / Contribution margin

New break-even point in dollar sales = $5,200 / 15.38%

New break-even point in dollar sales = $33,810.14 (Approx)
