Answer:

B) Making the value of the company increase by generating increasing revenues and profits

Explanation:

The main responsibility of a manager is to increase the company's value in order to increase the wealth of its owners. Of course this should be done in a legal way, e.g. a drug lord that makes millions can't be considered a good businessperson. The responsibility of a manager do not end there, they also have a duty with all the stakeholders of the company, starting with the employees, the government, the environment, their customers, and society as a whole.

If Congress ends an investment tax credit that used to subsidize domestic investment, how would this affect the market for loana

marin [14]

Answer: Demand will fall, Interest rates will fall

Explanation:

The investment tax credit would have encouraged more companies to seek loanable funds in order to embark on investment opportunities because they would be taxed less. This increase in demand in the market for loanable funds would have led to rates rising to keep up with demand.

If Congress were to end this credit, the incentive to invest and avoid tax would be gone. Companies would therefore demand less loanable funds and with this drop in demand there will be a drop in interest rates as well to entice people to borrow at the lower rates.

Month Maintenance Machine Health Number of Shipping Units

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

1. Variable cost = Shipping costs

Fixed cost = Health Insurance

Mixed cost = Maintenance costs

Shipping costs are variable because a unit shipped costs $3.60. The total shipping cost for each month varies according to the units shipped in the month.

Health Insurance costs are fixed as there is no change in cost notwithstanding the number of employees in each month. The total health insurance cost remains the same every month.

Maintenance costs are mixed for each month, as there is a fixed element and a variable element.

2. Cost function for each cost:

Maintenance = $4,200 + $2.10 per machine hour

Health Insurance = $8,600

Shipping cost = $3.60 per unit

3. Cost function = $12,800 + $2.1m + $3.6s

where m = machine hours

and s = units shipped

4. The total operating cost for the month

= $46,040

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

November 5271 510 8600 97 20124 5590

Cost Function for each cost:

Maintenance cost:

Machine Cost

Hours

November 510 5271

February 120 4452

Difference 390 819

Variable cost = $2.10 (819/390)

Fixed cost = $4,200 ($5,271 - ($2.10*510))

Health Insurance:

Fixed cost = $8,600

Shipping cost:

Variable cost = $3.60 per unit

Cost function = $4,200 + $2.10m + $8,600 + $3.60s

= $12,800 + $2.1m + $3.6s

February cost = $12,800 + $2.1(120) + $3.6(8240)

= $12,800 + $252 + $29,664

= $42,716

IF:

Machine hours = 400

Employees = 80

Shipped units = 9,000

The total operating cost for the month will be:

Cost function = $12,800 + $2.1m + $3.6s

= $12,800 + ($2.1 * 400) + ($3.6 * 9,000)

= $12,800 + $840 + $32,400

= $46,040
