Honda Motor Company is considering offering a $ 1 comma 800 rebate on its​ minivan, lowering the​ vehicle's price from $ 29 comm
zvonat [6]

Answer:

The cost of the rebate is that Honda will sell more vehicles and lose on each additional vehicle sold.

Explanation:

The cost-benefit analysis is a systematic approach that involves finding the marginal costs and marginal benefits associated with a particular decision, and then compare the benefits against the costs to determine whether the decision should be pursued.

To determine the costs and benefits in terms of incremental profits;

Benefit = Profit of $5,090 per vehicle × 13,500 (53200 - 39700) additional vehicles sold = $68,715,000  

The cost of the rebate is that Honda will make less on the vehicles it would have sold:

Cost = Loss of $1,800 per vehicle × 39,700 vehicles that would have sold without rebate = $71,460,000.

There, Benefit - Cost = $ (68,715,000 - 71,460,000) = - $2,745,000 and offering the rebate does not look attractive.

The rebate being offered is not a good idea as the cost outweighs the benefit.

Which of the following is not a function of prices in a market system? Group of answer choices Prices send signals to buyers and
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Prices ensure an equal distribution of goods and services among consumers.

Explanation:

The price mechanism helps in the efficient allocation of resources. There are a number of functions performed by the price mechanism. Prices send signals regarding resources. An increase and decrease in prices reflect surplus and deficit.  

Price balances the demand and supply of a product. Price is inversely related to demand and positively related to the supply of a product. It is determined by the interaction of demand and supply and helps in balancing supply and demand.  

For instance, an increase in demand would increase the price, this higher price will motivate the suppliers to increase quantity supplied thus balancing demand and supply.  

Price helps in coordinating economic activities and helps buyers and sellers in decision making. However, they do not help in equal distribution of goods and services among consumers.

What is one example of a planned economy?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

socialist economy

Explanation:

A planned economy is a system where the government or the central authority makes all major economic decisions. The government decides on the type and quantities of goods to produce and for whom to produce. In the planned economy, factors of production belong to the government. Manufacture of goods and services is motivated by service to the community, not profits.

A socialist economy is a good example of a planned economy. Just like in a planned economy, a socialist economy is characterized by heavy government involvement. The state controls the factors of production. Public service is the reason for economic production, while consumers do not have the liberty to choose products.

White raven [17]

Answer:

The variance is: $ 0.50 per direct labor hour.

Explanation:

Actual payroll = $117,000/6000h = $19.50 per hour

So, if we compare this value with the standard rate of pay ($20 per direct labor hour) The variance is: $20.00 - $ 19.50 = $0.50 per hour

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is E)

Explanation:

Capital budgeting is an accounting method that corporations use to decide which planned acquisitions of fixed assets will be approved and which should be refused.

Some examples of Capital Expenditures include:

  1. Construction of an additional building
  2. Procurement of delivery vehicles
  3. Procurement of new equipment
  4. Rehabilitation of existing equipment

If one of the criteria for classification under Capital Expenditure is that it must be in the plan, then none of the above items mentioned in the question will fly.

Monies have already been expended on the options A, B, and C.

Option D is an offer to purchase an existing asset, not a planned investment. Therefore it also does not qualify.

Hence the correct answer is E.

Cheers!
