Answer:

The answer is: The insurer should be guaranteed positive economic profits.

Explanation:

The insurer (or insurance company) like any other company in the world, is not 100% sure they will make a profit from a business transaction.

For example, a person that takes a life insurance policy for $1 million might die due to an accident, and the insurance company will lose money with that specific client.

Korolek [52]

Answer:

Gain recognized by Tom is $10000

So option (b) will be correct answer

Explanation :

We have given liability on bulding assumed by Paul Corp = $30,000

Tom's adjusted basis in the building = $20,000

Since the liability assumed by Paul Corp on the building is greater than Tom's adjusted basis, Tom must recognize gain equal to the difference between the liability on the building and his adjusted basis.

So gain recognized by Tom = $30,000 - $20,000 = $10,000

Bear Publishing sells a nature guide. The following information was reported for a typical month: Total Per Unit Sales $ 17,600

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= $17,600 ($16.00 selling price per unit)

Contribution margin 7,920

Fixed expenses 3,600

First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:

Units sold= 17,600/16= 1,100 units

Unitary contribution margin= 7,920/1,100= $7.2

Now, using the following formulas, we can calculate the break-even point in units and dollars:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 3,600/7.2= 500 units

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 3,600/ (7.2/16)

Break-even point (dollars)=$8,000

Your supermarket is trying to determine how many meatloaf dinners should be produced on Monday. The Monday demand for meatloaf d

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The recommended production quantity is that which maximizes profit.

Quantity 130

Explanation:

Quantity to produce is the problem here. Remember that this is one of the fundamental questions in the discipline of Economics.

- What to produce? - For whom to produce?

- How to produce? - In what quantity?

Possible Production Quantities:

100, 110, 120, and 130

Mean Demand = 100

Standard Deviation = 20

Lowest possible demand = 100 - 20 = 80units

Highest possible demand = 100 + 20 = 120units

* Solve, using the mean demand for each quantity level. Assume also that on every Monday, the minimum possible quantity is what is purchased. That's the safest assumption anyway.

FOR QUANTITY 100,

Revenue = 7×100 = $700 Direct cost = 2×100 = $200

Indirect cost = 0.6×20 = $12 Total cost = 200 + 12 = $212

PROFIT = 700 - 212 = $488

FOR QUANTITY 110,

Revenue = 7×110 = $770 Direct cost = 2×110 = $220

Indirect cost = 0.6×30 = $18 Total cost = 220 + 18 = $238

PROFIT = 770 - 238 = $532

FOR QUANTITY 120,

Revenue = 7×120 = $840 Direct cost = 2×120 = $240

Indirect cost = 0.6×40 = $24 Total cost = $264

PROFIT = 840 - 264 = $576

FOR QUANTITY 130,

Revenue = 7×130 = $910 Direct cost = 2×130 = $260

Indirect cost = 0.6×50 = $30 Total cost = $290

PROFIT = 910 - 290 = $620

Remember, the base assumption is that only the minimum quantity of 80units is bought each Monday. This is the only way to account for wastage; which costs 0.6 dollar per unit. So, the more the quantity produced, the greater the likelihood of wastage.

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": are necessary to set and to achieve because adequate profitability and financial strength increases a company's long-term health.

Explanation:

A company's financial objectives reflect the revenue the firm wants to earn out of the sale of goods or services. Organizations must meet those goals to ensure their operations will remain up and running. Otherwise, the association will have to look for other methods for financing their manufacturing processes and innovation which is likely leading them to ask for loans, thus, acquiring debt.
