Answer:
$18,800.00
Explanation:
Overhead costs are the indirect and fixed expenses that cannot be directly associated with a product. They are associated with the production or manufacturing of goods.
In this case
The manufacturing expenses that cannot be attached to a product are
Indirect labor: $ 6,000.00
Factory utilities: $ 2,500.00
factor equipment deprecation <u>$10,300.00</u>
<u>$18,800.00</u>
Total overhead costs are $18,800.00
Answer:
The correct answer is option c.
Explanation:
The tragedy of the commons is an economic problem in which individuals' rational decisions lead to collective irrationality. The individual consumers want to maximize their satisfaction so they consume a common resource in the way to maximize utility or satisfaction. But collective consumption in this manner leads to overconsumption of resources.
Individuals take better care of the resources they privately own than the common resources. Individuals focus on their wellbeing instead of the collective welfare of society and ignore social welfare in the process of maximizing their personal welfare.
Answer:
<u>Question 1. All employees are agents, and all agents are employees.</u>
<u>Question 2. Harold is liable to Alice for the cost of the lot, but only if the contract between Harold and Alice expressly stated that he would reimburse her for the cost of the lot.</u>
<u>Question 3. Spencer will win, because Glen was acting within the scope of his employment; therefore, Sally is liable for his negligence</u>
Explanation:
1. Note that employees can serve also as agents for their company but not all agents are employees since they (the agents) could be self employed themselves.
2. Remember sales agreement should not be bases on word of mouth but on written contacts. Therefore, if the contract between Harold and Alice expressly stated that he would reimburse her for the cost of the lot he would then be liable.
3. Since Glen was acting within the scope of his employment; therefore, Sally is liable for his negligence. Implying that she employed the man who caused Spencer pain and suffering.
Answer:
Standard-cycle markets
Explanation:
Standard-cycle market is a type of market whereby companies, in a bid to stand out among its competitors and ensure they command a large market share, create a niche for themselves. By so doing, they design brand names that give them a competitive advantage over their competitors, making it difficult for their competitors to imitate their design.
A standard-cycle market is most operative when there are many competitors serving a large target market.
Competitive actions and responses are in a standard-cycle market are focused on secure large market shares among several competitors, while relying majorly on competitive advantage over the other competitors, in order to remain competitive.
We need to compare the present values (PV) of all the expenses of all the investments to make an investment decision. The formula of PV = ((C1/(1+r)1) + ((C2/(1+r)2) + ((C3/(1+r)3) +…….+ ((Cn/(1+r)n) + present value of investment – present value of the salvage value
Where, Cn refers to the expense incurred in the nth period and r is the rate of interest per period.
For Machine A, present value of the expenses is
= ((1600/(1+0.20)1) + ((1600/(1+0.20)2) + 15,000 – ((3000/(1+0.20)2)
= 1333.33 + 1111.11 + 15000 – 2083.33
= 15361.11
For Machine B, present value of the expenses is
= ((400/(1+0.20)1) + ((400/(1+0.20)2) + ((400/(1+0.20)3) + ((400/(1+0.20)4) + 25,000 - ((4000/(1+0.20)2)
= 333.33 + 277.77 + 25,000 – 2777.77
= 22833.33
We can see that Machine A is the least cost alternative; therefore, Machine A should be selected.
