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.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Liu Company has sales of $48,500,000, and the break-even point in sales dollars is $31,040,000.

To calculate the margin of safety as a percentage, we need to use the following formula:

Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level

Margin of safety ratio=  (48,500,000 - 31,040,000) / 48,500,000

Margin of safety ratio= 0.36= 36%

Hurwitz and Padden formed a two-person law firm as a partnership without a written agreement. They shared all proceeds on a fift
AveGali [126]

Options:

a. not entitled to more than 50 percent of the profits, because the parties historically had divided the profits fifty-fifty.

b. not entitled to more than 50 percent of the profits, because it was appropriate to apply partnership principles to an LLC when there was no operating agreement.

c. entitled to more than 50 percent of the profits, because Hurwitz would be unjustly enriched if he received 50 percent of the profits.

d. entitled to more than 50 percent of the profits, because it was the parties' intent to compensate Padden to a greater extent than Hurwitz

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Since neither the partnership nor the limited liability company had any partnership agreement that stated how Hurwitz and Padden would share the profits generated by the business, then the general rule of partnerships should apply, i.e. profits and losses must be divided equally among all the partners.
