Answer:
The answer is "Option b".
Explanation:
In this scenario, the second option, which would be the percentage within each transaction that's also interest instead of the full amount, would've been lower if the rate of interest were lower because interest-related transactions would have been higher at lower rates and conversely, as opposed to the main refunds.
Answer:
Thus to maximize profit, Santora Company should manufacture Bread machine only.
The unit of Bread machine can be produced in 2,000 machine hours is 8,000 units
Explanation:
The profit for Toaster Ovens and Bread Machines is $10 and $90 respectively; thus
six toaster ovens per machine hour will generate profit of $60 = ($10 *6)
four bread machines per machine hour will generate profit of $360 = ($90 *4)
In the same machine hour the profit from Bread machines are significantly higher then Toaster over. Thus to maximize profit, Santora Company should manufacture Bread machine only.
The unit of Bread machine can be produced in 2,000 machine hours is 8,000 units (= 2,000 * 4)
The profit for 8,000 units of Bread machine is $720,000 = (8,000 * $90)
Answer:
$480
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Machine Hours Repair Costs
2,400 $6,385
1,200 $3,480
2,000 $5,285
3,400 $8,980
Now,
Machine Hours Repair Costs
Highest 3,400 $8,980
Lowest 1,200 $3,480
Difference 2,200 $5,500
Unit variable cost = $5,500 ÷ 2,200
= $2.5
Total cost at high level = $8,980
Machine hours highest level = 3,400
Also,
Total cost at high level = Fixed cost + Variable cost at highest level
or
$8,980 = Fixed cost + [ $2.5 × 3,400 ]
or
Fixed cost = $8,980 - [ $2.5 × 3,400 ]
= $8,980 - $8,500
= $480
Answer:
- Cheaper labor.
- Cheaper auto parts.
Explanation:
China has cheaper labor rates than the United States in comparative industries including in the motor vehicle producing industry. Ford may want to take advantage of this to make cars at a smaller cost in China and therefore make more profit in sales.
Car parts are also easier and cheaper to acquire in China. Steel for instance, is a very valuable commodity in motor vehicle manufacturing and China happens to be the largest producer in the world. Having access to cheaper materials would increase Ford's profitability as well.
