Answer:
Explanation:
A) Energy can be both a fixed cost and a variable cost for a company. This is due to the sense that energy in the form of fixed electricity bill even when no production takes place (telephone bill), a fixed cost and electricity bill when production takes place would be a variable cost
B) An increment in fixed cost will shift the ATC curve to the right while the MC curve would remain the same because MC is the change in variable cost as output increases and is not related to fixed cost.
C) Corn cost is a variable cost for ethanol producer as each unit of corn is used to produce ethanol and thus use of corn is reliant upon how much ethanol is produced. This makes corn a variable input dependent on the production of output, therefore, the cost of corn is variable.
D) An increment in the variable cost will shift the ATC curve to the right and individual MC curve to the right.
Answer:
a. 56%
b. 62%
Explanation:
a. Janitorial costs are allocated based on square feet.
Assembly Department Square feet = 42,560
Total area for both departments = 42,560 + 33,440 = $76,000
Percentage of costs
= 42,560/ 76,000
= 56%
b. Security costs are allocated based on asset value.
Cutting Department Asset Value = $126,480
Total asset value for both departments = 77,520 + 126,480 = $204,000
Percentage of costs
= 126,480/ 204,000
= 62%
Answer:
President Richard NIxon
Explanation:
The President Nixon administration came up with the idea to decentralize power as well as some programs to the state governments of the USA to reduce the pressure on the Federal government in the wake of the continued unrest from the Vietnam war alongside unemployment, etc.
In decentralizing power and programs, the giving of block grants and aids to states ensured the reduction in the dependence of the economy on the federal government and as such states began to take care of problems within it.
Cheers.
Answer:
Two ways I would improve productivity would be to increase labor and create incentives. By increasing labor, you'd have more opportunities to keep people at a specified area that they are competent in. If you were to create positive incentives for the workforce, people are more likely to work harder and increase the company's productivity.
Explanation:
Answer:
3.12%
Explanation:
We use formula in excel to calculate annual rate of return
Rate = (Nper,PMT,,FV,1)
Nper (number of payments): 30
PMT (payment made every period) : -$20,000
FV (future value of investment): $1,000,000
type 1 for payment beginning of period
Then rate = (30,-20000,,1000000,1)= 3.12%
Please see excel attached for the calculation
