Answer:

You should invest in US bonds because you will be able to earn a higher return than if you build and sell microwaves.

Explanation:

alternative 1, build and sell microwave ovens:

initial outlay = $500,000

net cash flow per year = $225,000 - $200,000 = $25,000

alternative 2, invest in US securities:

investment = $500,000

net cash flow per year = $500,000 x 10% = $50,000

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs resulting from choosing one activity or investment over another.

If you choose to build and sell microwaves, you will not be able to invest in bonds, and therefore, your net income will decrease by $25,000 - $50,000 = -$25,000.

Instead, if you invest in bonds and not microwaves, your net income will increase by $50,000 - $25,000 = $25,000.

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The Total Cost of Inventory is $4,024,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total cost is shown below:

= Purchase cost + ordering cost + carrying cost

where,

Purchase cost = Annual consumption × Cost per unit\

                       = 80,000 × $50

                       = $4,000,000

Ordering cost = (Annual demand ÷ EOQ) × Cost to place one order

                       = (80,000 ÷ 8,000) × $1,200

                       = $12,000

Carrying cost = (EOQ ÷ 2) × carrying cost percentage × Cost per unit

                      = (8,000 ÷ 2) × 6% × $50

                      = $12,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $4,000,000 + $12,000 + $12,000

= $4,024,000

Melissa is about to get a $200 per month raise. she wants a new television and some furniture. she has $500 in her savings accou
yKpoI14uk [10]
There are two different options I would give her:

1) You can use your credit card now if you know that within the 30 days of purchasing the T.V. (or how ever many days until interest accrues if sooner) you will have enough money to properly pay your card off so that you aren't charged interest. Once you add interest, the T.V. becomes a much larger expense overtime due to paying the interest. Also, if it's a card that you get cash back for, you can 'make money' essential on your purchase because you'll get cash back.

2) Wait for the raise, what if the raise doesn't happen? What if something unexpected happens and you've used all your funds for a T.V. that isn't a necessity. There are so many reason to wait and pay cash for something. In this situation I probably wouldn't use all of my appropriated emergency funds for a T.V. and save the extra money from the raise.

Rachel’s Candelabra Shoppe sells candles to clients for $6.00 each. The variable cost to produce each candle is $2.25 per candle
Flauer [41]

Answer:

The firm’s contribution margin per candle is $3.75

Explanation:

The computation of the firm’s contribution margin per candle is shown below:

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit

= $6 candle - $2,25 candle

= $3.75 candle

The fixed expense is used to compute the break-even sales in units and in dollars so for this calculation, the fixed expense should not be taken. Hence, ignored it
