Answer:
$183,000
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold using the FIFO method is shown below:
= Number of units purchased × per unit + additional units purchased × per unit
= 15,000 units × $10 + 3,000 units × $11
= $150,000 + $33,000
= $183,000
Since there are 18,000 units are sold
out of which 15,000 are at $10 and the remaining 3,000 units are at $11 and the same is to be considered
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
The Variable cost is
= 55% of $4
=$2.2
Now
Contribution margin per unit
= Sale - Variable cost
= $4 - $2.2
= $1.8 per unit
a.Breakeven point is
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin
In units
= ($702,000 ÷ $1.8)
= 390,000 units
in dollars = (390,000 × $4)
= $1,560,000
b.Margin of safety = Total sales - Breakeven sales
In dollars = ($2,000,000 - $1,560,000)
= $440,000
Margin of safety ratio =Margin of safety ÷ Total sales
= ($440,000 ÷ $2,000,000)
= 22%
Answer: Argentinean central bankers effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC.
Explanation:
The Federal Open Market Committee(FOMC) is a committee of the Federal Reserve which influences the interest rate in the country by engaging in Open Market Operations (OMO). In doing so, they also influence the value of the dollar which is the currency of the U.S.
By pegging the Argentine Peso to the U.S. dollar, the Argentines effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC because the FOMC in deciding the interest rate for the U.S. and therefore the dollar, will be deciding for any other currency that moves exactly as the dollar does which is what the Peso is now going to do.
Answer: c. quantity of coal produced will be greater than the socially optimal quantity
Explanation:
The Socially Optimal quantity is the level of production that takes into account the negative externality being produced by coal and weighs it against the marginal benefit it brings.
If coal produces the negative externality of polluting the environment here then the socially optimal quantity of coal will be less than the market equilibrium because the marker equilibrium would not have taken into account the negative externality and will lead to more coal being produced than should be.
