Answer:

Joshua statement is correct.

Explanation:

Marginal cost:

Is the cost of producing a new unit.

Average Cost:

\frac{Fixed Cost + Variable Cost}{UnitsProduced} = $Average Cost

\frac{Fixed Cost}{UnitsProduced} + $Variable Cost Per Unit= Average Cost

If the marginal cost of this plant is lower than their other plants, it can decrease his average cost by increasing the amount produced.

This increase in production decrease the impact of the fixed cost in the unit price. At more production the average cost will decrease. Because the variable cost keeps at the same value but the fixed cost per unit decrease.

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

$343,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales revenue = $385,000

Operating expenses = $65,000

Net loss = $23,000

Gross profit:

= Sales revenue - Gross profit

= $385,000 - $42,000

= $343,000

Therefore, the amount of cost of goods sold for the Lucky is $343,000.

Why did the artist, Pablo Picasso, become wealthy during his lifetime and the artist, Vincent van Gogh, remain poor his entire l
Harman [31]

<u>The reason that Pablo Picasso, become wealthy during his lifetime and the artist, Vincent van Gogh, remain poor his entire life:</u>

Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh had more features in common. They had unanimously indistinct style of arts which had become immediately identifiable.

In spite of all that, Picasso died as a rich man owning an estate which is estimated at nearly 750 million dollar whereas Van Gogh died as a pauper.

Studies claim that the reason behind this would be that, Van Gogh remained to be a loner and socially inactive. He was depending on his brother to meet the social world and in contrast Picasso was a charismatic active member in various social clubs where her had multiple number of contacts and connections.

It's been said that Pablo Picasso was a hub who had a vast network of social lines and Vincent Van Gogh was a silent or solitary node.

But now, the paintings of both the greatest artists were well spoken and sell for more than 100,000,000 US Dollars.

Manuel borrowed a total of $4000 from two student loans. One loan charged 4% simple interest and the other charged 3.5% simple i
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

the principal amount at a rate of 4% is 2000

principal amount at a rate of 3.5% is 4000-2000 =2000

Explanation:

We have given total amount borrowed = $4000

Let x amount is borrowed at a rate of 4%

So $4000-x is borrowed at rate of 3.5%

Total interest = $150

We know that simple interest =\frac{principal\ amount\times rate\times time}{100}

So \frac{x\times 4\times 1}{100}+\frac{(4000-x)\times 3.5\times 1}{100}=150

4x+14000-3.5x=15000

0.5 x=1000

x = 2000

So the principal amount at a rate of 4% is 2000

And principal amount at a rate of 3.5% is 4000-2000 =2000

Arada [10]

Answer: Current Price $26.65

Explanation:

Rate of return = 12.5%

dividends = $1.98

Expected Price (in a year from now) Pe= $28

Current price = Pc

R = (Pe - Pc + D)/Pa

0.1250 = (28 - Pc + 1.98)/Pc

28 - Pc + 1.98 = 0.1250Pc

-Pc - 0.1250Pc = - 28 - 1.98

- 1.125Pc = -29.98

 Pc = -29.98/(-1.1250Pc) = 26.64888889

 Pc = $ 26.65
