Answer:

(B) Hire the firefighter if the cost of the new firefighter is less than $75,000.

Explanation:

The city should hire the Firefighter only if the cost of new firefighter is less than $75,000.

Since $5 x 15000 residents = $75, 000.

Therefore it is still beneficial to hire a new firefighter if the cost is less than $75, 000

Would you prefer a fully taxable investment earning 8.1 percent or a tax-exempt investment earning 6.1 percent? (assume a 28 per
blsea [12.9K]
<span>Prefer the 6.1 percent tax-exempt investment. Let's do the math and see why the tax-exempt investment is the better choice. For the 8.1% taxable investment, you get taxed at the rate of 28%. Which means that you only get to keep 100%-28% = 72% of your gains. So 0.72 * 8.1 = 5.832 which means your effective earning percentage is only 5.832% which is less than the 6.1% rate you get for the tax-exempt investment. Another consideration that wasn't taken into account for the question is the earnings on the taxable investment may push you up into a higher tax bracket. Which in turn increases the tax burden on your other investments. So the better choice here is the 6.1% tax-exempt investment even though that first glance the 8.1% investment looks higher.</span>

Assume a company had the following production costs: Direct labor $ 2 per unit Direct material $ 3 per unit Variable overhead $
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Total production cost $ 14 per unit  Under absorption costing True

The total product cost per unit when 4,000 units are produced would be $22.50  False

Explanation:

Direct labor $ 2 per unit

Direct material $ 3 per unit

Variable overhead $ 4 per unit

Total variable $ 9 per unit

Fixed overhead ($50,000/10,000 units) $ 5 per unit

Total production cost $ 14

Production Costs involve the fixed costs under absorption Costing. So the total Product cost under absorption costing is $ 14.

When 4,000 units are produced the production costs are as follows

Absorption Costing: 4,000 * 14= $ 56,000

Variable Costing : 4000 * 9= $ 36,000

So the second statement is false.
