Answer:

The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to: C. 10.6%

Explanation:

In Hartong Corporation:

Increasing net income = Increase sales revenues - Cash operating expenses - Annual depreciation expense = $185,000 - $89,000 - $52,000 = $44,000

This is the net income from the equipment per year

Return on the investment (ROI) is calculated by using following formula:

ROI = (Net income/Cost of investment )x 100%

Cost of investment  = Cost of equipment = $416,000

ROI = ($44,000/$416,000) x 100% = 10.6%

Today we see a very low unemployment rate with a controlled and acceptable inflation rate. Which of the following statements cou
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

A. All of these 3 other possible answers that are listed here are true reasons.

Explanation:

If we are to use wage the rate of change in wages or inflation, as a proxy for inflation in the economy, when there is unemployment, the number of persons searching for work is significantly greater than the number of jobs available for the people who are unemployed. What we mean is, the supply of labor is greater than the demand for it.

With the availability of many workers, there's little need for employers to "bid" for the services of employees by paying them good wages.

  1. It should be noted that the failure to vaccinate some children isn an external cost. [See the attached graph]
  2. The social cost curve is also indicated accordingly.
  3. From an efficiency perspective, subsidizing vaccines <em>does</em> make sense because, without the subsidy, the equilibrium quantity is <em>less</em> than the socially optimal quantity.
  4. The school nurse suggests publishing a list of which kids did not get a flu vaccine, in the hope that public shaming will lead people to vaccinate their children. The school nurse is hoping that social norms will act like a <em>punishment  </em>and lead the market to a<em> socially efficient </em>
  5. The flaws that the school nurse's suggestion have are:
  • People that feel passionate about not vaccinating are typically doing so for medical or religious reasons and will not sway to social norms or peer pressure. (Option B)

  • The school would potentially face a lawsuit because sharing protected health information (PHI), like immunization records, without parents' consent could be a violation depending on the regulations of the state. (Option C)

<h3>What is social Cost?</h3>

In neoclassical economics, the social cost is the total of the transaction's private costs plus the costs imposed on consumers as a result of being exposed to the process for which they are not rewarded or taxed.

In other words, it is the total of internal and external expenses.

Direct materials .   =  $200,000 /20,000)*21,000=   210,000

Direct labor =    160,000/20,000)*21,000=    168,000

Variable overhead  =  60,000 /20,000)*21,000=    63,000

Variable Operating Expenses =  40,000 /20,000)*21,000= 42,000

All calculations are carried out in the same way. Dividing the amount in the given budget with the number of units and multiplying it with actual number of units.

Flexible Contribution Margin 147,000 and Actual Contribution Margin 139,000 which shows a Variance  of 8000  which is unfavorable.

What is the total manufacturing overhead assigned to the current order for Men's Razors if the firm uses a volume-based plant wi
Brut [27]

Answer:

$7,200

Explanation:

The computation of the total manufacturing overhead assigned is shown below:

= ($168,640 + $127,840 + $554,400 + $1,078,000) ÷ $514,368

= 375% per direct-labor dollar.

Now  

= $514,368 ÷ 8,037

= $64 per DL hour.

And,  

= $64  × 30 direct labor hours

= $1920.

So,  

Manufacturing overhead is

= 1920 × 375%

= $7,200
