Answer:
It means movies are relatively cheaper than working hours
Explanation:
In order to estimate the relativity of the two activities, there is a need to compare the changes over ten years
1. 10 years ago, Movie ticket= $5, 10 Years later Movie ticket= $8, the 10 year difference is $3
2. 10 years ago, average hourly wage = $10, 10 years later, average hourly wage = $20, the 10 year difference is $10
First, it means for the $3 change in movie ticket cost, there was a $10 change in the average hourly wage.
Put differently, while movie ticket got a 60% increase in price 3/5 x 100=60%
Average hourly wage got 100% increase 10/10 x 100= 100%
It means that working hours got more expensive and movie tickets got cheaper
Answer:
The indifference point is 22,381 hours a year.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
SecureAll:
Fixed costs= $900,000
In house:
Fixed costs= (100,000*4) + 30,000= $430,000
Variable costs= $21 an hour
First, we need to structure the cost formula for each option:
SecureAll= 900,000
In-house= 430,000 + 21*x
X= number of hours
Now, to calculate the indifference point, we need to equal both formulas and isolate X:
900,000= 430,000 + 21x
470,000/21= x
22,381= x
The indifference point is 22,381 hours a year.
Expanding on the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), the act was designed to protect consumers from unfair practices on the part of credit card issuers. It aims to eliminate or lower certain credit card charges, minimize manipulation of younger customers, and provide greater disclosure of fees to all users.
Answer: Old machine should be replaced.
Explanation:
The variable manufacturing cost will reduce by:
= 624,000 - 524,000
= $100,000
Over a period of 5 years this will be:
= 100,000 * 5
= $500,000
Selling the old machine would bring in $32,000:
= 500,000 + 32,000
= $532,000
The cost of the new machine would reduce this gross benefit by:
= 532,000 - 455,100
= $76,900
<em>Net income will increase by a total of $76,900 over the 5 year period if the new machine is bought so it should be bought. </em>
Answer:
LIFO
Explanation:
To record the lowest cost of goods sold, the ending inventory amount must be high. This would only be high in LIFO whish would not be affected by declining costs.
By using LIFO (Last in First Out) inventory valuation will be based on the value of the earliest goods purchased instead of latest goods purchased as in FIFO (First In First Out)
