Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The weighted-average unit contribution margin of $20.

Expected sales for Pittsburg Steel are 40,000 Standard and 60,000 Supreme.

Fixed expenses are $1,800,000

First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units for the whole company.

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (units)= 1,800,000/20

Break-even point (units)=90,000 units

<u>Now, for each product:</u>

Standard= (40,000/100,000)*90,000= 36,000 units

Supreme= (60,000/100,000)*90,000= 54,000 units

where,

Actual direct labor hours is 2,380

And, the standard direct labor hours equal to

= 5,200 units × 0.5

= 2,600 hours

From 2001 to 2004, the U.S. government went from a budget surplus to a budget deficit. According to the open-economy macroeconom
notsponge [240]

Answer: Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct Option: The supply of loanable funds but not the supply of dollars in the market for foreign-currency exchange.

If the budget deficit increases, then U.S residents will want to purchase fewer foreign assets and foreign residents wants to buy more of U.S assets.

The budget deficit in the economy has to be financed either by borrowing or by increasing taxes. This budget deficit occurred because of the tax cuts and higher government spending.

If a country running a budget deficit, which lead to reduction in national saving. We all know that interest rate is determined in the loan market, where savers supply the loans to the private borrowers.

So, if there is a fall in the national saving, this will reduced the supply of loans from savers, which raises the interest rate in an economy.

This will attract the foreign flow of capital. This means that demand for domestic assets increases because of the higher interest rate.

Now, if foreign residents want to take an advantage of higher interest rate then they first have to acquire domestic currency.

Therefore, higher interest increases the demand for domestic currency in a market of foreign exchange.

pychu [463]

Answer:

$19,708,745

Explanation:

We first have to calculate the present value of the bonds:

Nper = 20 (10 years x 2 payments per year)

R = 11% / 2 = 5.5%

Payment = 83 / 2 = 41.50

Future value = 1,000

PV = ?

To calculate the present value we can use an excel spreadsheet and the present value function =PV(5.5%,20,41.5,1000) = $838.67

Now we calculate how many bonds were issued = $23,500,000 / $1,000 = 23,500 bonds.

To determine the market value of the debt outstanding we multiply the present value of the bonds times the total number of bonds outstanding

= $838.67 x 23,500 = $19,708,745
