Indiana Co. bega n a construction project in 2018 with a contract price of $150 million to receive when the project completed in
Liula [17]

Answer: C) Recognized $9 million gross profit on the project in 2018.

Explanation:

Duration of construction project from 2018 to 2020 = 3 years

Cost incurred by Indiana co. in 2018 = $36 million

Estimated additional cost for the remainder of the project = $84 million

Total cost to be incurred over the duration of the project = $36 million + $84 million = $120 million

To calculate the percentage of the project completed, we use the cost figures;

Cost incurred so far (in 2018) ÷ Total cost to be incurred × 100

36,000,000/ 120,000,000 × 100 = 30%

Total revenue from contract (which is the contract price) = $150 million

Indiana Co. recognizes revenue according to the percentage of the project completed. Therefore, revenue recognized after 30% of the project is completed (which is the revenue for 2018) = 30% of $150,000,000

Revenue for 2018 = 30/100 × 150,000,000 = $45,000,000

Profit recognized on the project in 2018 = Revenue for 2018 - Cost incurred in 2018

Profit = $45,000,000 - $36,000,000

Gross profit recognized in 2018 = $9,000,000

<h3>What is Contribution Margin?</h3>

The contribution margin (CM), also known as the dollar contribution per unit, is the difference between the selling price and the variable cost per unit.

Because 100% is the best contribution margin, the closer the contribution margin is to 100%, the better. The greater the figure, the better a company's ability to meet its overhead expenditures with cash on hand.

The contribution margin =

Unit Margin (Profit) = Unit Revenue - Unit Variable Cost (Marginal Cost)

<h3>What is the bundle prices and Net Profit?</h3>

For Hydration Power Drink:

High 7 -1 = 6

Low: 6 - 1 = 5

Total = 11

For Satisfying Smoothie:

High: 10 -4 = 6

Low: 5-4 = 1

Total  = 7

High Bundle Price for both products:
6 + 6 = 12

Low Bundle price for both products:
5 + 1 = 6

From the above information, it is clear that the Bundle Price that will maximize profit is the High Bundle Price.

At her job of grooming horses, Polly Yaskovich worked 8 hours a day on Monday and Tuesday earning $67 each day. On Wednesday, sh
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Your answer is that she needs to earn $148 on Friday

Explanation:

Calculate Average:

(67 + 82 + 78) / 4 = 56.75    (Remember 67 is worth Monday and Tuesday)

We know that the number that the 4 numbers add up to has to be divisible by 5 because our we need to average 75 and we have 5 days to average on.

5 x 75 = 375

67 + 82 + 78 = 227

375 - 227 = 148

(67+82+78+148) / 5 = 75

Your answer is that she needs to earn $148 on Friday

Q. A country's comparative advantage in the extraction of commodities most likely stems from its: A. high labour to capital rati
Andru [333]

Answer:

B. large amount of natural resources

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is a country's ability to produce a product or service for a lower opportunity cost than rival countries.  Opportunity costs are the benefits given up in the extraction process. If a  country has a large amount of natural resources, it will use fewer resources in the extraction process than other countries. The trade-off costs will be so little compared to the benefits.

Other countries will find it cheaper to import from a country with large natural resources. For example, oil-rich nations have a comparative advantage in the extraction and processing of oil and oil by-products.
