Answer: $3.10
Explanation:
Accounting breakeven = Fixed costs / Contribution margin
Fixed costs = Fixed costs + Depreciation = 27,000 + 18,000 = $45,000
50,000 units = 45,000 / Contribution margin
Contribution * 50,000 = 45,000
Contribution = 45,000 / 50,000
Contribution margin = 0.9
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost
0.9 = 4 - Variable cost
Variable cost = 4 - 0.9
= $3.10
Answer: b. Because of unpredictable changes in the public's desire to hold cash or borrow and banks' desires to hold reserves or lend.
Explanation:
The Fed is able to embark on monetary policy that influences the entire country - and the world to some extent - because they have very strong influence over the money supply of the US$.
This influence is not absolute however because as the old adage goes, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink". In other words, the Fed can relax(impose) restrictions to make money more(less) available but they cannot force people to borrow(hold) that money.
They can't force banks either to either hold reserves or lend money out because banks are free to impose their own reserve limits on top of those of the Fed.
Answer:
D) Johnson has failed to use the correct cost driver as the cost-allocation base for setup costs.
Explanation:
One of the main disadvantages of ABC costing method is that it is very hard and expensive to implement, and sometimes you cannot allocate all overhead costs to specific cost drivers. That is what happened here with Johnson's costing method, they combined two cost drivers and allocated resources using the number customer orders which is not a valid base, e.g. one single large order represents higher costs than 10 small orders.
ABC costing is not accepted by US GAAP due to its limitations or how hard it is to apply correctly, but it is a very useful information source for making decisions. The problem is, if gathering the information is worth the effort and extra cost of ABC?
The best suggestion to give to Frank when he asked about
what could be done with the data that is being generated is that the data may
be of good use when the social media are being used in having to find out the
customer’s recommendations and the ones that they are buying in which could be
the common interest of buyers.
The effect of the decrease in the price of the guitars illustrates an elastic demand.
<h3>What does the price change illustrate?</h3>
The first step is to determine the percentage change in the price of the guitars.
Percentage change in price = (2499 / 2699) - 1 = -0.074 = -7.4%
Now, determine the price elasticity of demand =30 / -7.4% = -4.1
The coefficient of elasticity is greater than 1 in absolute terms, thus the demand is elastic.
