Answer:

Jan's Bakery and Tina Cookies

Total Average Cost for the merged firm

= ($300,000 + $75,000)/2

= $187,500

Explanation:

The total average cost for Jan's Bakery and Tina's Cookies is the average of their total operating costs.  This is obtained by adding $300,000 to $75,000 and then dividing by 2.

Though, in practical terms, the presence of some synergies will cut some of the operating costs off, especially such costs as rent, advertising, and some other administrative costs.  Some selling costs will also be eliminated when the merger goes through.

Shelley wants to cash in her winning lottery ticket. She can either receive sixteen $100,000 semiannual payments starting today,
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

$1,256,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Number of semiannual payments received = 16

Amount of each payment = $100,000

Annual interest rate = 6%

Thus,

Semiannual interest rate = \frac{6\%}{2} = 3% = 0.03

Now,

Payment = Amount × \frac{(1-(1+i)^{-n})}{i}

or

Payment = $100,000 × \frac{(1-(1+0.03)^{-16})}{0.03}

Payment = $100,000 × 12.56

or

Payment = $1,256,000

Contribution Margin Ratio, Variable Cost Ratio, Break-Even Sales Revenue The controller of Ashton Company prepared the following
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

1.  73 %

2. 27 %

3. $60,000

4. Ways to increase projected operating income without increasing total sales revenue :

  1. Reduce the variable costs per unit
  2. Reduce fixed overheads

Explanation:

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales × 100

Where,

Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs

                     = $88,000 - $23,760

                     = $64,240

Then,

Contribution Margin Ratio = $64,240/ $88,000 × 100

                                           = 73 %

Variable Cost Ratio = Variable Cost / Sales × 100

                                = $23,760 / $88,000 × 100

                                = 27 %

Break-even sales revenue = Fixed Costs ÷  Contribution Margin Ratio

                                            = $43,800 ÷ 0.73

                                            = $60,000

<u>Ways to increase projected operating income without increasing total sales revenue :</u>

  1. Reduce the variable costs per unit
  2. Reduce fixed overheads

The GLBA gives customers the right to opt out of information sharing, and banks must provide customers with a reasonable opportu
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

C) Asking the consumer to write his or her own letter to exercise that opt out right

Explanation:

The whole purpose behind the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA)was to allow customers the right to easily opt out of information sharing by the banks. That means that the banks are required to provide an easy way for a customer to do so, and writing your own letter might be easy for some people, but very difficult for others.

It is much easier to do it by phone, or by simply mailing back a detachable form. If the client knows how to use internet and emails properly, then the bank must provide an easy option to opt out through an email or an option that can be found in the bank's website.
