Paul [167]

Answer:

The correct answer is the first option: To impose a minimun price per gallon of tap water consumed that is five cents greater thant the actual price.

Explanation:

To begin with, if the local government is looking forward to reduce the consumption of the tap water due to the decrease in the level of water in the lakes of Chapel Hill, then it must impose a minimum price per gallon of tap water consumed that is five cents greater than the actual price due to the fact that when the citizens continue to consume the tap water they will have to pay 5 cents more every time the exceed the gallon of water consumed, therefore paying more than one time the 5 cents extra in the consumption instead of paying just one single time the 5 cents due to the simple consumption of water as it is suggested in the other option.

To sum up, if the government charges 5 cents more every gallon of water then the people will decrease their consumption because everytime they passed the gallon of water then they will have to pay another extra 5 cents and so on.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

B. 6.2 DLH per unit of G2

Explanation:

Total cost per unit of G2:

$20 = DM + DL + OH

$20 = $7 + $3.60 + X

$20= $10.6

$20- $10.6

= $9.4

X = $9.4 overhead per unit of G2

Therefore the Plantwide overhead rate is:

$795,000/530,000 DLH = $1.5 per DLH

DLH per unit of G2:

$9.4/$1.5 = 6.26 DLH per unit of G2

In 2018, X Company sold 6,800 units of its only product for $36.10 each. Unit costs were as follows: Variable manufacturing $14.

Eddi Din [679]

Answer The correct answer is 8.317 units

Explanation:

Firstly, calculate the Total fixed costs= ($2.35+$2.63)*6800= $33.864 Fixed Manufacturing and Selling cost

Secondly, calculate the earnings before taxes 63.000/(1-tax rate) = 63.000(/1-0.39)= 103.278.69

Then, Calculate the Revenue less fixed cost 103.278.69+33.864=137.142,68

Then calculate the Variable margin that is equal to ( Price of sales per unit – Variable manufacturing – Variable selling) = (36.10-14.50-5.11)= 16.49

Finally divide the revenue less fixed cost on the variable margin (137.142,68/16.49) = 8316.72

Units Price Total

Revenue 8,316.72 36.10 300,233.54

Fixed Manufacturing (15,980.00)

Variable manufacturing 8,316.72 14.50 (120,592.42)

Fixed Selling (17,884.00)

Variable Selling 8,316.72 5.11 (42,498.43)

Net Revenue 103,278.69

Tax rate 39% (40,278.69)

Total 63,000.00
