Answer:

b. the budget is adjusted to the actual activity for the period.

Explanation:

A flexible budget performance report is a comparison between actual costs and revenues, and the budgeted income and expenses at the end of a period, based on actual performance. The report shows the difference between the actual results and the estimated numbers. Management uses the report to determine if the company's results were in line with management expectations.

The performance report is prepared at the end of a financial period. It helps the management analyse any major variances between the actual performance at the estimated numbers at the beginning of a period. The report helps the management identify the companies strong areas, and the sections that need improvements.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

1) Household consumption, which accounts for about <u>68%*</u> of the economy, grew at a 4.2% annualized rate during the second quarter of 2016.

*Data obtained from federal government sources.

2) Since household/consumer spending (consumption) represents almost 70% of the nation's GDP, any change will cause a major change in the total GDP. E.g. if consumption increases by 5%, then the whole economy will grow by 5% x 68% = 3.4%.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

<h2>The United States has the comparative advantage in car production.</h2>

Explanation:

Japan has a lower opportunity cost of producing televisions compared to cars, implying that Japan basically has to give up or sacrifice or trade off relatively less number of cars to produce one more television compared to the production of one more car.
Alternatively, US has a lower opportunity cost of producing cars relative to televisions meaning that US has to give up, sacrifice or trade off less number of televisions to manufacture one more car in comparison to the production of one more television.
Hence, in this case,US has a comparative advantage in the production of cars and Japan has a comparative advantage in production of television and both countries can produce these respective commodities by using relatively less productive resources or factor inputs.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Cost of common equity is 15.7% and WACC is 7.2%

Explanation:

D1 is

D1= 2.25 (1+0.05)

The cost of common equity is

Rs = 2.36/ 22.00 + 5% =0.157= 15.7%

The cost of common equity is weighted average cost of capital (WACC)

WACC = (0.35) * (0.08) (1- 0.40) + 0 preferred stock+ (0.35) * (0.157)

WACC = 0.03 *0.6 + 0 + 0.054

WACC = 0.018 + 0.054

WACC = 7.2%

Chromatics, Inc., produces novelty nail polishes. Each bottle sells for 3.60. Variable unit costs are as follows:

devlian [24]

Answer:

Margin of safety= 9,000 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each bottle sells for 3.60.

Variable unit costs are as follows:

Acrylic base- .75

Pigments- .38

Other ingredients- .35

Bottle, packing material- 1.15

Selling commission- .25

Fixed overhead costs are 12000 per year. Fixed selling and administrative costs are 6720 per year. Chromatics sold 35000 bottles last year.

First, we need to calculate the variable cost per unit and total fixed costs:

Unitary variable cost= 0.75 + 0.38 + 0.35 + 1.15 + 0.25= $2.88

Total fixed costs= fixed overhead + fixed selling and administrative= 12,000 + 6,720= 18,720

Now, we can calculate the break-even point in units:

Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point= 18,720 / (3.6 - 2.88)= 26,000 units

Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety ratio= 35,000 - 26,000= 9,000 units
