Answer: Total Variable Costs = $110130
Explanation:
The question in incomplete. Requirements were not provided in the question, as a result it is not clear what the question requires us to do. We will assume the question requires us to calculate Total variable costs since There is nothing in the question that talks about fixed costs.
Total Variable Costs
Manufacturing costs
Direct Material Per pound = $2.95
Direct Material used = 27800 pounds
Direct Material Cost = 27800 x 2.95 = $82010
Direct Labor
Direct Labor cost per hour = $6.20
Direct Labor hours = 3800
Direct Labour Cost = 3800 x $6.20 = $23560
Variable Manufacturing overhead cost = $4560
Total Variable Costs = Direct Material cost + Direct labor costs + Variable Manufacturing overhead
Total Variable Costs = $82010 + $23560 + $4560
Total Variable Costs = $110130
Answer:
The correct option is A, abnormal price change at the announcement
Explanation:
Abnormal price increase before the announcement would only be the case if the there was insider dealing, that is there exists information leakage.
An abnormal price decrease cannot be the case, the market prices a share based on its earnings' strength, in other words a stock with high dividends prospect is priced high.
Option D is wrong there would a price change stemming from the announcement made about large cash dividends payout
The availability of many substitutes increases the elasticity of demand for a good. With the presence of substitutes the consumer has more options to seek out if there are price changes, therefore, the consumer is highly responsive to price changes and thus the elasticity of the demand curve is higher if there are many substitutes.
