Answer:

It is better to cleaned and shipped to the firm's outlet center at a cost of $23,000 to be sold at $80,000

Explanation: In alternative A) the firm loss is $80,000 ($125,000-$45,000)

In alternative E) all $125,000 is lost

In alternative B, C and D) the loss is $68,000 ($125,000-$80,000+$23,000)

Relevant costs are those evitable, that are cause of a manager decision related to an specific business decision.  

The only cost that can be avoided in these example is the cost of $23,000 so the goods can be cleaned and shipped to the firm's outlet center

Natali [406]

Answer:

$187.18

Explanation:

In this question, we use the PMT formula that is shown on the attachment below:

Given that,  

Present value = $5,500 - $5,500 × 20% = $4,400

Future value = $0

Rate of interest = 2%  ÷ 12 months = 0.16666%

NPER = 2 × 12 months = 24

The formula is shown below:

= PMT(Rate;NPER;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the monthly payment is $187.18

joja [24]

Answer:

Yes, Thompson is correct in his claim to be a third party beneficiary of the Cannon-insurer contract.

Explanation:

A third party contract covers an individual or firm against a loss caused by some third-party.

An example is fire insurance that will indemnify Thompson (third party) with Cannon-insurer contract.

Since Cannon is the insured, he will investigate to be sure that the cause of the fire was worthy of indemnity. This is definitely why he is in agreement with the insurer.

The two main categories of third-party insurance are liability coverage and property damage coverage.

= 25 * 0.02 * 20 units

= $10 per hour

Inspector is paid $8 per hour.

The fees to the inspector are less than the cost of replacement so the Inspection station should be established as it saves costs.
