Answer:

The financial advantage over option 2 is $ 20 000 and $ 60 000 in total sales value.

Explanation:

The company has 2 options for the obsolete desk calculators. They can either upgrade them or sell them as they are. We need to compare the 2 options to evaluate their advantage or disadvantage.

To upgrade the calculators we need to spend $200000. However we will then be able to sell the calculators for $260000. This equates to a $60 000 gain

Under option 2 we will just sell the calculators as is for $ 40 000.

Option 1 is the better option. The financial advantage over option 2 is thus $ 20 000 and $ 60 000 in total.

Answer:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $22,000 favorable

Explanation:

<u>To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (3*8,000 - 22,000)*11

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (24,000 - 22,000)*11

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $22,000 favorable

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Check the answers below

Explanation:

  • The per instrument cost of the bank is $0.25. Assuming uniform cheque value, the 24 million remittances across 10000 cheque will mean per cheque value of 2400. If this amount can be invested at 8% p.a., then daily investment income will be approx = 2400 * 8% /365 = $ 0.526

  • Now for the company to jus about cover the cost of the cheque processing, the time should reduce by (assuming fractional time in days is possible) 0.25/0.526 = 0.48 days

  • Now if the interest that can be earned reduces to 4%, the average daily interest will also reduce to $0.263. At this level, the time required to cover the cost should reduce by 0.95 days

The difference is simply because the opportunity cost in terms of alternate usage of funds has decreased for the company.

Given the following two potential locations to construct an urgent care, use incremental B/C ratio to determine which location,
White raven [17]

Answer:

The incremental benefit cost ratio is less than 1 therefore we must select site 1.

Explanation:

The incremental BCR can be determined using the following formula

\Delta BC_R = \frac{AW_B-AW_D-AW_M}{AW_i}

AW_C=1,000,000(A/P, 8% , 10)

⇒ AW_C= 1,000,000 \times \frac{0.08}{1-1.08^-^1^0}

⇒ AW_2=2,000,000(A/P, 8%, 20)

⇒ AW_2= 2,000,000 \times \frac{0.08}{1-1.08^-^2^0}

⇒AW_C_2 = $203,704.42

Incremental initial investment = 203,704.42 - 149,029.49

= $ 54,674.93

Incremental benefits = 580,000 - 520,000 = 60,000

Incremental O&M = 75,000 - 80,000 = - $ 5000

Incremental Disbenefits = 140,000 - 90,000 =$ 50,000

\Delta BC_R = \frac{60,000-50,000-(-5000)}{54,674.93} \\\\\Delta BC_R=0.2743

All solving using the present worth method also incremental benefit cost ratio comes out to be 0.2743.

The incremental benefit cost ratio is less than 1 therefore we must select site 1.

Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of milk is $2.50 per gallon. Complet
Darina [25.2K]

Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Price ceiling:-This is show the limit of the price on maximizing value of the product which is decided by government and his imposed group for customer.

Binding:-The binding price ceiling is below the equilibrium price.  

Unbinding:-The unbinding price ceiling is above equilibrium price.  

Price floor:-This is show the limit of the price on lower value of the product which is decided by government and his imposed group for customer. A price floor must be higher than the price equilibrium price in order to be effective.  

Binding:-The binding price floor is above the equilibrium price.  

Unbinding:-The unbinding price floor is below the equilibrium price.

It is given that the equilibrium price of milk is $2.50 per gallon.

Statement 1:-This is the example of price floor and binding because minimum price of $2.30 per gallon is decided.

Statement 2:-This is the example of price floor and binding because minimum price of $3.40 per gallon is decided for gasoline.

Statement 3:-This is the example of price floor and binding because teenagers are not hired due to minimum-wage laws.
