Answer:
The company should provide, in average, 90 jobs per month in order to break even.
Explanation:
We will assume that the variable costs are proportional to the quantity and thus VC=a*Q
the profit obtained is
profit = P*Q , (Price [$/job] * Jobs sold [jobs])
and the total costs are
total costs= FC+VC = FC + a*Q , FC=fixed costs
in order to break even the quantity sold should be enough to cover all costs, therefore
profit = total costs
P*Q = FC + a*Q → Q= FC/(P-a)
thus
Q= FC/(P-a) = $3240 / ($60/job - $24/job) = 90 jobs
Answer:
B) government spending and taxes that automatically increase or decrease along with the business cycle.
Explanation:
The two most common automatic stabilizers are: income taxes and unemployment benefits.
When the economy is strong, people make more money, and income tax revenue automatically increases.
On the contrary, when the economy is weak, or in recession, people earn less, and more of them are unemployed. Unemployment benefits therefore increase accordingly.
Answer:
$35,860
Explanation:
The computation of the ending inventory using the retail inventory method is shown below
Particulars Cost Retail
Opening Inventory(A) $63,800 $128,400
Purchases(B) $115,060 $196,800
Goods available
C=(A-B) $178,860 $325,200
Cost ratio
($178,860 ÷ $325,200 × 100) 55%
Sales at retail (D) $260,000
End, Inventory at Retail $65,200
($325,200 - $260,000)
End, Inventory at Cost $35,860
($65,200 × 55%)
Answer: $4.38
Explanation:
Conversion costs are based on completed units so those units that are yet to be completed will be converted into equivalent units.
Units produced = Units completed and transferred out + equivalent WIP
= 169,000 + (26,000 * 79%)
= 169,000 + 20,540
= 189,540 units
Total Conversion costs = beginning conversion costs + conversion costs added during period
= 103,000 + 726,925
= $829,925
Conversion cost per equivalent share
= 829,925/189,540
= 4.3786
= $4.38
