Answer: The correct answer is "a. the dollar will depreciate and the peso will appreciate.".
Explanation: If the inflation rate in the United States rises relative to the inflation rate in Mexico, it follows that the dollar will depreciate and the peso will appreciate.
As inflation in the United States is higher, the dollar is affected by a loss of purchasing power, therefore it depreciates with respect to the Mexican peso.
Answer: The segment margin is obtained by deducting the common fixed costs that have been allocated to a segment from that segment's contribution margin
Explanation:
Segment margin is referred to the net profit or the net loss that a particular segment of a business makes. Segment margin is used to know segments that are performing well.
It is also used to know the long-run profitability of a particular segment as it shows the margin that is available after the cost has been covered by a segment.
Based on the above illustration, the statement that isn't true will be "the segment margin is obtained by deducting the common fixed costs that have been allocated to a segment from that segment's contribution margin".
This is false as segment margin is gotten after the traceable fixed costs of a segment has been subtracted from the contribution margin of that particular segment.
Answer:
c. Stressed polar bears exhibit obsessive patterns of behavior.
Explanation:
- If a polar bear is bred in captivity they show an obsessive pattern of behavior.
- Such as the passing of the back and forths on the same spot and swimming on their heads from side to side.
- And also use their paws to repeatedly strike their heads as a sign of stress. This shows that they don't do well in captivity.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below
a. The economic order quantity is
= sqrt ((2 × annual demand × ordering cost) ÷ carrying cost)
= sqrt ((2 × 1,215 × $10) ÷ $75)
= 18 units
b) Average number of bags on hand is
= EOQ ÷ 2
= 18 ÷ 2
= 9
c) Orders per year is
= D ÷ EOQ
= 1215 ÷ 18
= 67.5
= 68
d) Total cost = Total carrying cost+ Total ordering cost
= (Q ÷ 2)H +(D ÷ Q)S
= (18 ÷ 2)75 + (1215 ÷ 18) × 10
= 675 + 675
= $1350
