Yanka [14]

Answer:

Yes, Hazel needs to pay extra $700

Explanation:

As per pre-existing duty rule, a person is obligated to perform his duty at the consideration agreed upon initially. Any modification to the contract is void.

Exceptions to this rule:

As per new contract, if the person undertaking his duty hires another person to perform the work so as to complete it in time, then modifications are valid and enforceable.
Modifications are valid in case of unforeseen contingencies like war, recession, change in economic conditions and strikes.

In this case, Hazel agreed to pay $700 extra. Under pre-existing duty rule, she is not required to pay Eugene extra $700 but since Eugene took additional help exception to the rule applies and Hazel is obligated to pay $700 extra.

kirill [66]

Answer:

Incremental cost= $61,875

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Gelb Company currently manufactures 49,500 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $5.15 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $75,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $70,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.90 per unit

We need to determine whether it is more convenient to produce the component or outsource it. We will only consider the relevant costs, therefore the fixed costs will not be taken into account.

Make in house:

Cost= 49,500*5.15= $254,925

Buy:

Cost= 49,500*3.90= $193,050

Incremental cost= 254,925 - 193,050= $61,875

Maria Lorenzi owns an ice cream stand that she operates during the summer months in West Yellowstone, Montana. She is unsure how

ddd [48]

Answer:

1. $2,185

2. Percentage increase 14%. Sales decrease -22%

3. $1,805

4. -17.4%

Explanation:

1. In calculating the profit for the first week we will simply deduct the costs from the sales.

= Sales - Fixed Costs - Variable costs

= (1,800 cones * 3.5) - 2,675 - ( 1,800 cones * 0.8)

= 6,300 - 2,675 - 1,440

= $2,185

$2,185 is her profit for the first week.

2. Percentage increase in selling price will be,

= 4-3.5/3.5 * 100%

= 14%

Percentage decrease in sales

= 1,400 - 1,800 / 1,800 * 100%

= -22%

3. Using the first questions method we have,

= (1,400 * 4) - 2,675 - (1,400 * 0.8)

= 5,600 - 2,675 - 1,120

= $1,805

$1,805 is her profit for the second week.

4. Decrease in profit

= $1,805 - $2,185 / 2,185 * 100%

= -17.4%

Maria Lorenzi suffered a decrease in profit of -17.4% as a result of raising her prices by 14%.
