Answer: C. $ 2,750 net increase in operating income

Explanation:

Income if Blackberry syrup is sold as is;

= Sales price * No. of units

= 2.90 * 1,900

= $5,510

Income if Blackberry Syrup is processed further;

= (Sales price * No. of units) - Processing costs

= ( 5.4 * 1,900) - 2,000

= 10,260 - 2,000

= $8,260

Difference;

= 8,260 - 5,510

= $2,750

An economist would be more likely to argue against reducing inflation if she thought that a. the central bank lacked credibility
Fantom [35]

Answer:

b. the central bank lacked credibility and if bonds were usually indexed for inflation.

Explanation:

Economics can be classified into two (2) categories, namely;

1. Microeconomics can be defined as the study of the effect of price and quantity levels through interactions between individual buyers and sellers in various markets.

Hence, it is focuses on analyzing or evaluating the decisions of consumers (buyers) and those of firms (sellers) such as methods of production, pricing; and the manner in which government policies affect those decisions.

2. Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Hence, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.

Inflation can be defined as the persistent general rise in the price of goods and services in an economy at a specific period of time.

Generally, inflation usually causes the value of money to fall and as a result, it imposes more cost on an economy.

When this persistent rise in the price of goods and services in an economy becomes rapid, excessive, unbearable and out of control over a period of time, it is generally referred to as hyperinflation.

In conclusion, an economist is more likely to argue against a reduction in inflation if she thought that the central bank lacked credibility and if bonds were usually indexed for inflation.

= $61,500

3. Variable cost per unit of 8,000 produced and sold:

= $11.55

4. Variable cost per unit of 12,500 produced and sold:

= $11.55

5. Total variable costs for 8,000 units produced and sold:

= 8,000 * $11.55

= $92,400

6. Total variable costs for 12,500 units produced and sold:

= 12,500 * $11.55

= $144,375

7. Average fixed manufacturing cost per unit produced for 8,000 units:

= $4.00

8. Average fixed manufacturing cost per unit produced for 12,500 units:

= $4.00

9. Total fixed manufacturing cost for 8,000 units:

= 8,000 x $4.00

= $32,000

10. Total fixed manufacturing cost for 12,500 units:

= 12,500 x $4.00

= $50,000

11. Total amount of manufacturing overhead costs for 8,000 units:

= 8,000 * $5.60

= $44,800

per unit = $5.60

Variable manufacturing overhead = $1.60

Fixed manufacturing overhead =     $4.00

Total per unit =                                  $5.60

12. Total amount of manufacturing overhead for 12,500 units:

= 12,500 x $5.60

= $70,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead =     $4.00

Total per unit =                                  $5.60

13. Contribution margin per unit:

Selling price =                                          $21.40

Variable manufacturing cost per unit =  $9.90

Contribution margin per unit                  $11.50

14. Total amounts of direct and indirect manufacturing costs for 12,000 units:

Direct manufacturing costs = $9.90 x 12,000 =   $118,800

Indirect manufacturing costs = $4.00 x 12,000 = $48,000

15. Incremental manufacturing cost if Martinez increases production from 10,000 to 10,001:

= $9.90

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Average Cost Per Unit

Direct materials                              $ 5.40

Direct labor                                     $ 2.90

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.60

Total Variable Costs per unit        $ 9.90
