Answer:

<u>Particulars          Current                  Proposed </u>

Sales               $800,000                 $837,000

                     ($200 × 4,000) (200 - 14) × (4,000 + 500)

Variable

expenses          $160,000               $180,000

                     (40 × 4,000)              (40 × (4,000 + 500))

Contribution

margin              $640,000                $657,000

Fixed

expenses           $531,000                 $566,000

                                               ($531,000 + 350,00)

Net operating

income                  $109,000              $91,000

Decrease in net operating income is

= $109,000 - $91000

Suppose that a firm produces 200,000 units a year and sells them all for $10 each. The explicit costs of production are $1,500,0
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Accounting profit will be $500000

Economic profit will be $200000

Explanation:

We have given number of units produces = 200000

Cost of one unit = $10

So total cost of production = 100000×$10 = $1000000

Explicit cost = $1500000

And implicit cost = $300000

We know that accounting profit = revenue - explicit cost = $1000000-$1500000 = $500000

And economic profit = revenue - implicit cost = $1000000-$300000 = $200000

XYZ Company has issued 10%, $100 par non-cumulative preferred stock. Two years ago, XYZ omitted its preferred dividend. Last yea
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

In order to make the distribution to common shareholders, each preferred share must be paid a dividend of:

$5 per share.

Explanation:

The preferred stock is non-cumulative.  This implies that XYZ's preferred stockholders are not being owed for the previous two year's dividend that was not paid.  Non-cumulative preferred stock does not attract dividend arrears whenever it was not declared.  It is cumulative preferred stock that attracts such arrears to be carried forward until they are paid.

In​ economics, the short run is the time frame in which​ ______ and the long run is the period of time in which​ ______. A. the
Marina86 [1]

Answer:the quantities of some factors of production are​ fixed; the quantities of all factors of production can be varied - D

Explanation:

In the short run, some factors of production are fixed, which is usually the capital. Therefore for a company to increase output, it would need employ more workers, but would not increase capital.

Therefore in the short run, we can get diminishing marginal returns, which may cause marginal costs to start increasing quickly.

Also, in the short run, prices and wages fall out of equilibrium because a sudden rise in demand may lead to higher prices, and companies may not have the the capacity to respond and increase supply.

Long run

In the long run, usually greater than 6 months, all main factors of production are variable. The company has time to build a bigger one making it respond to changes in demand which means that a sudden rise in demand, would have a complimentary increase in supply to meet the demands and prices can be adjusted.

Mike and Karen were divorced. Their only marital property was a personal residence with a fair market value of $1.5 million and
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Mike's recognized gain from the transfer of the house to him is:

$175,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Marital property = $1,500,000

Cost of property =  $575,000

Residual value =     $925,000

Alimony to Karen = $750,000 ($150,000 * 5)

Balance (Mike's) =  $175,000

$175,000 represents the excess of the fair market value of the marital property after deducting the cost of property and the alimony paid to Karen.  A gain of $175,000 is recognized by Mike after the property sale.
