A security suite for the software program
Answer: $283,140
Explanation:
Total Cost = Materials cost + Conversion cost
Conversion cost per unit = (Direct labor + Factory overhead ) / Equivalent units of production
= (142,300 + 57,200)/ ( 18,000 + (2,000 * 30%))
= 199,500/ 18,600
= $10.73 per unit
Direct material cost is $5 per unit from the question.
Total cost of the 18,000 units;
= (18,000 * 5) + (18,000 * 10.73)
= $283,140
The answer is A.
There is risk involved in owning a stock, and many unknown variables. The value of the stock could plummet, putting your principal investment at risk. There is no guarantee of return on investment, and even well-established companies have had to cut dividends during difficult times.
In the case of bonds, you are guaranteed by the bond issuer that your principal and the agreed-upon interest will be paid at a defined time. Excluding the event of bankruptcy (and still likely in this case), you are virtually guaranteed that the entity will pay you according to the agreed-upon terms. For this reason, bonds are considered a much lower risk investment.
Why then, do many people choose to invest at least part of their portfolio in stocks? Stocks generally have a much high expected return, and many people consider this increased return worth the increased risk that with it.
Cultural universals (elements of a culture that exist in every society such as food, religion, language, etc.) exist because all cultures have basic needs and they all develop common features to ensure their needs are met. Ethnocentrism is seeing your culture as superior to others.
