Answer:

10,000 books

Explanation:

Knowns:

Fixed Costs: $50,000

Variable Costs: $4 (price marketing company charges per book sold)

Sale price: $9 per book

We can solve break even (BE) by using the following formula:

BE = (Fixed Cost) / (Sale price-Variable costs)

BE = ($50,000) / (($9-$4)

BE = $50,000 / $5

BE = 10,000 units

I hope this helps!

Luebke Inc. has provided the following data for the month of November. The balance in the Finished Goods inventory account at th
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Adjusted cost of goods sold = = $237,500

Explanation:

Given Opening inventory = $57,000

Cost Of Manufacturing for the month = $214,500

Closing value of inventory = $30,500

Net cost of Goods sold = Opening + Manufactured - Closing

= $57,000 + $214,500 - $30,500 = $241,000

Provided actual manufacturing overhead = $56,500

Applied to Work in process = $60,000

Difference between both of them = $60,000 - $56,500 = $3,500

Over applied cost of goods manufacturing overhead = $3,500

Charged to cost of goods sold

Thus cost of goods sold = $241,000

Adjusted cost of goods sold = Normal - Over applied = $241,000 - $3,500 = $237,500

Over applied manufacturing overhead has already been closed to cost of goods sold, that means that cost is included, now for adjusting such amount the value shall be deducted from cost of goods sold.

Final Answer

Adjusted cost of goods sold = Normal - Over applied = $241,000 - $3,500 = $237,500

Consider a second hand car market where three types of cars are being sold: High quality (H), medium quality (M) and low quality
Ann [662]

Answer:

a) Determine which type of cars will be sold at the efficient allocation.

All cars would be sold in a Pareto efficient allocation.

In a Pareto efficient market, resources are all allocated in the most efficient possible way. This is the reason why this is just a theoretical concept that does not necessarily apply in real life.

b) Determine which type of cars will be sold at the market equilibrium.

Since consumers are only willing to pay up to $1,620 for a used car, only medium quality and low quality cars will be sold. The price of high quality used cars is higher than the equilibrium price.

Explanation:

the most a buyer would be willing to pay for a used car is ($1,800 x 40%) + ($1,600 x 30%) + ($1,400 x 30%) = $720 + $480 + $420 = $1,620

The opening of a new American-owned factory in Algeria would tend to increase Algeria's GDP more than it increases Algeria's GNP
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a and option b.

Explanation:

The opening of a new American-owned factory in Algeria would tend to increase Algeria's GDP more than it increases Algeria's GNP.

This is because the GDP of a nation is the value of final goods and services produced in an economy in a year by both domestic citizens as well as foreign residents.

While GNP of a nation does not include the income earned by the foreign residents within the boundaries of a nation. So it is lower than GDP.
