One recent study suggests that the more professional technicians or other “knowledge workers” an industry has, the:

Boston’s Dairy has just opened its main yogurt factory in upstate Massachusetts. This main factory can produce 3,500 boxes of yo

REY [17]

Answer:

7,733 units

Explanation:

Breakeven point is one where revenue equals the cost.

In the main Factory:

Fixed cost = $40,000

Variable cost = $19,250 [($4.5 + $1.0) * 3,500 boxes]

Total cost = $59,250 [$40,000 + $19,250]

Revenue = $52,500 [3,500 * $15]

Net profit or loss : $52,500 - $59,250 = - 6,750 Loss

In the new Factory:

The break even point will be achieved when the loss of $6,750 in the main factory is covered by the new factory.

Fixed cost : $16,000

Variable cost : $6.0 + $1.0 = $7

Selling price = $15

16,000 + 6,750 + 7x = 15x

solving for x we get:

x = 2,844.

In the new factory 2,844 units needs to be produced in excess to achieve the breakeven point.

Total units required to produce 3,500 + 2,844 = 6,344.

If the company adds bonus of $0.80 for its sales force on each box sold above the breakeven then the cost will be increased.

Contribution Margin : 15 - [ 6 + 1 + 0.80 ] = $7.20

Box required to sell to produce net operating income of $10,000

10,000 / 7.20 = 1,389 units

Total units 7,733 [6,344 + 1,389]

If $ 9 comma 000 is invested in a certain business at the start of the year, the investor will receive $ 2 comma 700 at the end

laiz [17]

Answer:

NPV= 1,036.16

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment= $9,000

Cash flows= $2,700 at the end of each of the next four years.

Interest rate= 3%

To calculate the net present value (NPV), we need to use the following formula:

NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

Cf1= 2,700/1.03= 2,621.36

Cf2= 2,700/1.03^2= 2,545

Cf3= 2,700/1.03^3= 2,470.88

Cf4= 2,700/1.03^4= 2,398.92

Total= 10,036.16

NPV= -9,000 + 10,036.16

NPV= 1,036.16

If the supply curve is perfectly inelastic, the burden of a tax on suppliers is borne: a. entirely by the suppliers. b. entirely

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

The burden of a tax is entirely borne by the suppliers if the supply curve is perfectly inelastic. The burden of a tax falls more on a person which is having relatively inelastic curve.

For example: A government imposes a tax in a market of beachfront hotels with an inelastic supply curve. There is no other option available for the sellers than to accept the lower price for the hotels, here the taxes are not affecting the equilibrium quantity. Therefore, the entire burden of tax falls on the suppliers.

Suppose that if the demand curve is more inelastic than the supply curve then most of the tax burden falls on the consumers and if the supply curve is more inelastic than the demand curve then most of tax burden falls on the sellers.

If McDonald's wanted to change its marketing strategy in response to the social trends outlined in the text, it might consider a

finlep [7]

Answer:

E) creating an advertising campaign to target elementary school children

Explanation:

Even without being able to read the text, the answer is obvious since McDonald's advertising campaign targeting small children would be considered foul play. It's OK for a toy maker to target small kids, but everyone knows McDonald's doesn't sell healthy food, so they shouldn't focus any advertising on small children. That is why some cities banned free toys in the Happy Meals.
