Answer:

b) The average cost must be rising.

Explanation:

Assuming that the entity produce 4 units and its total cost is $16 so average cost per unit is $4 and  now the same entity has produced the 5th unit at $5 so the average cost now per unit is (16+5)/5=$4.2

So based on the above discussion, it can be concluded that average cost increase when the marginal cost of production is increased.

So the answer is b) The average cost must be rising.

<u>Cash Flow A:</u>

                $

I0= - 70.000

1=     28000 =    -42000

2=    38000 =    -4000

Payback period= full years until recovery +

                             unrecovered cost beginning year/Cashflow  during year

Payback period A= 2  + (4000/26000)= 2,1539 years.

<u>The payback period for Silva Inc. is 3 years. If considering only this method of evaluating projects, Silva Inc will invest in project A and dismiss project B.  </u>

krok68 [10]

Answer:

$243,900

Explanation:

Calip corporation reported the following results for the month of October

Sales= $413,000

Cost of goods sold= $169,100

Total variable sling expenditure= $20,700

Total fixed selling expense= $17,900

Total variable administrative expense= $13,100

Total fixed administrative expense= $30,400

The contribution margin can be calculated by subtracting the total cost of goods sold from the sales

= $413,000-$169,100

= $243,900

Hence the contribution margin for October is $243,900

Answer:

c. 42.6%

Explanation:

Average total assets = $410,000+$257,000/2

Average total assets = $667,000

Return on total assets = 0.42388060

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option 4: We will have a meeting Friday with HR to learn how to use it. We need to continue to work on the new performance system.

Explanation:

To begin with, if Ms. Jones is looking forward to get her employees to buy the new system then she must tell them that they are going to use and it is important for the company and even more for them to have it in order to use it later because that will bring more benefits for everyone. Therefore that when she tells them that there is a meeting soon that will focus in the fact of learning how to use it and that it will show the importance of using it, the employees will feel the necessity of acquiring it for that reason.
