The correct answer to this is B) a designer handbag. This is not a commodity. A commodity is anything that is considered a raw material.
Answer:
The correct answer is 45%.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:
Selling price = $640
Variable cost = $352
Annual fixed cost = $985,500
Current sales volume = $4,390,000
So, we can calculate the contribution margin ratio by using following formula:
Contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin per unit ÷ selling price per unit ) × 100
Where, Contribution Margin = Selling price - Variable cost
= $640 - $352 = $288
So, by putting the value in the formula, we get
Contribution margin ratio = ( $288 ÷ $640 ) × 100
= 0.45 × 100
= 45%
Answer:
Annual financial disadvantage = $ (669,600)
Explanation:
Relevant cost are future incremental cash costs that arise as a direct consequence of a decision.
The relevant costs of this decision to disconnected includes the following:
- The variable cost of making the product = $19 per unit
- Sales revenue at a price of $25
- Savings in avoidable fixed costs (102,000-72,000) = 30,000
Annual financial advantage
$
Lost contribution $(25-19)× 4,300 units = (85,800)
Saving in fixed cost = <u> 30,000</u>
M<em>onthly net loss </em><em><u> 55,800</u></em>
Annual financial disadvantage
Monthly net loss × 12 months
= (55,800) × 12
= $ (669,600)
Consumer decision making is a process that has 5 steps. The first step is the consumer recognition of the need they need to satisfy. It is termed as the basic step since one cannot look for money to satisfy a need that they have not first recognized.
Answer:
affect nominal but not real variables. This view that money is ultimately neutral is consistent with classical theory.
Explanation:
This idea is held by classical economists (not by most economists) since they believe in the quantitative theory of money:
MV = PQ
- M = quantity of money
- V = velocity of money
- P = price level
- Q = quantity of goods
Classical theory was abandoned 90 years ago (according to classical theory, recessions were not possible and couldn't exist, but then the Great Depression came and the impossible became true). Neo-classical or monetarists appeared in the 1960s, and lately, neo-neo-classical appeared with George W. Bush. The problem with the quantitative theory is that it needs the following things to be true in order to hold, and empirical evidence over the last 90 years showed that none of them are true:
- the velocity of money has to be constant (AND IT IS NOT CONSTANT)
- real output is independent on money supply (NOT TRUE)
- causation goes from money to prices (MODERN ECONOMISTS BELIEVE IT IS THE OTHER WAY)
