Answer:

The answer is: Both parties could win, depending if there were other conditions established for the auction.

Explanation:

Usually when an auction is carried out there are conditions established beforehand by the auctioneer that must be fulfilled in order for the sale to be completed.

In this case, since we don´t know what other conditions the town of Sanford included in the auction, if any other condition at all, we can´t conclude which party could win the lawsuit. For instance if a reserve was required but Arthur and Arlene didn´t do the reserve deposit, then they will obviously lose. The same happens with other established conditions like a minimum price set, etc. But if no other condition established, then Arthur and Arlene could win.

alekssr [168]

\sqrt\frac{2*773*28}{33}Answer:

Explanation:

Using the EOQ Formula =  EOQ\sqrt\frac{2*D*O}{H}

D = Demand = 773

O = Ordering Cost =28

H = holding Cost = 11*33% =3.63

So we have :

EOQ=\sqrt\frac{2*D*O}{H}

EOQ= \sqrt\frac{2*773*28}{3.63}

EOQ=\sqrt\frac{43288\\}{3.63}

EOQ= \sqrt{11925.06887}

EOQ= 109.20196

   

Previous per unit order cost = 28/773 =0.03622

No of Orders = D/o  

No of Orders = 773/109.20196 =7.0786

Cost per order =109.20196*0.03622 =3.9555

Total order cost= 7.0786*3.9555=27.9998

At EOQ holding Cost is equal to Order Cost

New Order cost =27.9998

Holding Cost = 27.9998

New cost As per EOQ = 56

Previous (33+28)  =  61

Net Saving = 5

In 2016, teller company sold 3,000 units at $600 each. variable expenses were $420 per unit, and fixed expenses were $270,000. t
Anit [1.1K]
Assuming that you have the values for the year 2017, the break-even point would be 1500 units for the year 2017. To calculate this, we use the idea that at the breaking point, total sales is equal to the total cost or expenses made. Which would be:

selling (x) = fixed + variable (x)

x = fixed / (selling - variable)
x = 270000 / (600-420)
x = 1500 units

On January 1, 2021, Perez Co. issued at par $10,000 of 6% bonds convertible in total into 1,000 shares of Perez's common stock.
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

EPS = $4.50

diluted EPS = $2.46

Explanation:

no option is correct since EPS = $4.50, and the rest of the options are all higher amounts. Diluted EPS are always smaller than EPS.  

common stock outstanding = 1,000 stocks

bonds shares (diluted) = 1,000 stocks

net income = $4,500

bond interest = $10,000 x 6% x (1 - 30%) = $420

diluted earnings per share = ($4,500 + $420) / (1,000 shares + 1,000 shares) = $4,920 / 2,000 shares = $2.46
