Answer:

Explanation:

For a cost to be relevant it has to be futuristic and not past

A relevant cost can be said to be a cost or costs that will be incurred as a result of a particular make or buy decision, and which will change in the future as a result of that decision.

A) The machinery used to produce the magnet was purchased five-years ago for $500,000.

<em>IRRELEVANT</em>

<em>A relevant cost is a cost or costs that will be incurred as a result of the decision, and which will change in the future as a result of that decision. In this case, the machine has already been bought.</em>

B) Four of the employees who produce magnets would be reassigned to the magnifying glass division.

<em>RELEVANT</em>

<em>A relevant cost is a cost or costs that will be incurred as a result of the decision, and which will change in the future as a result of that decision. In this case, the employees will be reassigned which implies that the cost of their salaries will be a cost to be borne when they employ new hands.</em>

<em />

C) The space now used to produce the magnets would be used to eliminate the need to rent warehouse space.

<em>RELEVANT</em>

<em>A relevant cost is a cost or costs that will be incurred as a result of the decision, and which will change in the future as a result of that decision. In this case, the space will be reassigned which implies that the cost of their rent will be a cost not to be saved.</em>

<em />

D) Sales volume (units) is estimated to drop by 50% once the competitor becomes fully operational.

<em>RELEVANT</em>

<em>A relevant cost is a cost or costs that will be incurred as a result of the decision, and which will change in the future as a result of that decision. In this case, the revenue will be reduced by 50% which implies that the inflow of sales will be half the original amount going forward. This is futuristic and hence relevant</em>

You are the chief financial officer​ (CFO) of Gaga​ Enterprises, an edgy fashion design firm. Your firm needs $ 19 million to ex
QveST [7]

Answer:

- Financial​ institutions, such as investment​ banks, provide expertise in the acquisition of funds.

- The investment banking institution will allow the Gaga Enterprises CFO to raise more money at a lower cost per dollar raised

Explanation:

In the given scenario we want to compare help in raising capital using a financial institution versus raising it directly in the financial​ markets.

When raising capital using financial markets it is more expensive because the company will need to give out ownership rights in the company when they sell shares.

However when financial institutions provide the capital, there is a lower cost per dollar raised compared to sale of shares.

Also financial institutions act as financial advisors to their clients. So they will provide expertise in the acquisition of funds.

Jim wants to buy a car, but he’ll probably only need it for a couple of years. He has a short commute to work, so he won’t be pu
svetlana [45]
A motorcycle or scooter would be the best option for Jim. Couple means two, so for two years, buying a very poor car would be the only option as to not go over two years of paying a loan on the car. What would cost Jim most is the fuel. A poor car will get very poor mpg, and short, stop and go, type trips is what takes the most fuel from any given vehicle. Commuting motorcycles and scooters alike can reach over one hundred miles per gallon.  You can pay downward from five thousand dollars for a top of the line scooter if Jim so chooses. 

I hope this helps.

APR stands for Annual Proportion Ratio.
lisabon 2012 [21]
This statement is false, APR does not stands for Annual Proportion Ratio, rather it stands for Annual Percentage Rate. Usually APR can be seen in Credit Cards, loans, etc. It is the Annual percentage rate added to your credits.
