Answer:

The quantity that Sarah's Machinery Company is indifferent between two technologies is 5.

Explanation:

We are looking for the quantity that Sarah's Machinery Company is  indifferent between two technologies,  so we have to find the quantity that the total cost with technology A is the same to the total cost with technology B

Total cost  technology A=500+50x

Total cost  technology B=250+100x

500+50x=250+100x

500-250=100x-50x

250=50x

x=250/50=5

Burruss Company developed a static budget at the beginning of the company's accounting period based on an expected volume of 8,0
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The flexible budget would show fixed costs of $16,000

Explanation:

Meaning of Fixed cost: The fixed cost is that cost which is not have any impact on production level. It means that if the production level is increase or decrease, the fixed cost remain constant.

In the question the following information is given ,

Expected volume - 8,000 units

Per unit Revenue -  $ 4.00

Variable costs [per unit - 1.50

Contribution margin per unit -  $ 2.50

Fixed costs per unit - 2.00

Net income per unit -  $ 0.50

Actual production - 10,000 units

For computing the fixed cost under flexible budget for actual production which produces 10,000 units. The fixed cost remain same.

So, For 8000 units, the fixed cost = Units × Fixed cost per unit

                                                        =  8000 units × 2.00

                                                        =$16,000

Hence, For 10,000 units, the fixed cost would be $16,000 as fixed cost remain same.

Thus, the flexible budget would show fixed costs of $16,000

Bristo Corporation has sales of 1,000 units at $60 per unit. Variable expenses are 40% of the selling price. If total fixed expe
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

3.60

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales units = 1,000

Sales price per unit = $60

Variable expenses = 40% of the selling price

Total Fixed cost = $26,000

Contribution margin per unit:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= $60 - ($60 × 40%)

= $60 - $24

= $36

Total contribution:

= Contribution margin per unit × Sales units

= $36 × 1,000

= $36,000

Profit = Total contribution - Fixed cost

         = $36,000 - $26,000

         = $10,000

Degree of operating leverage:

= (Sales - Variable costs) ÷ (Sales - Variable costs - Fixed Expenses)

= (60,000 - 24,000) ÷ (60,000 - 24,000 - 26,000)

= 36,000 ÷ 10,000

= 3.60

Anna11 [10]

The assessment ratio, which is used to convert the value of property to the assessed value, can also be considered <u>Equalization Rate</u>.

<h3>What is the equalization rate?</h3>

The equalization rate is the ratio of the total assessed value (AV) to a municipality's total market value (MV).

The equalization rate is a measurement of a municipality's level of assessment (LOA) by the state.

This implies that the municipality determines the AV while the state determines the MV.

Thus, the assessment ratio, which is used to convert the value of property to the assessed value, can also be considered <u>Equalization Rate</u>.
