Answer:

decrease by $16,000

Explanation:

We know that,

The net income = Sales - variable cost - fixed expense

The sales = Sales units × selling price per unit

                = 50,000 boxes × $25

                =  $1,250,000

The variable cost = Sales units × variable cost per unit

                             = 50,000 boxes × $17

                             =  $850,000

And, the fixed cost is  $260,000

So, the net income would equal to

= $1,250,000 - $850,000 -  $260,000

= $140,000

Since, the sales units are increased by $24,000 units, so new sales units is 74,000 units

And, the sales per unit is decreased by 2 So, new sales per unit is $23

So, the new sales

= Sales units × selling price per unit

= $74,000 × $23 = $1,702,000

The variable cost = Sales units × variable cost per unit

So, the new variable cost equals to

= 74,000 units × $17

= $1,258,000

And the fixed expense would increased by the $60,000 so new fixed cost is $320,000

So, the new net income would be equal to

= $1,702,000 - $1,258,000  - 320,000

= $124,000

If we compare these two net income, then the difference would be

=  $140,000 -  $124,000

= $16,000 decrease

Describe the benefit of using and not using credit. Compare the following scenario and tell why it would be better to use credit
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

1) So christmas shopping should be optional and most of the things in christmas shopping has no benefits for you, it can’t feed you, it can’t pay your rent, its only for your own entertainment so you shouldn’t use credit. If you use credit on useless things that you may end up not using at all, you could fall in debt. If your gonna go christmas shopping, try to not use credit, if your gonna use credit you have to consider if your gonna be able to pay this back or not. Using cash would be the best way becuase you have a limited amount of cash and you would be more careful spending it. With credit, you would be less considerate due to you having a lot of money all at once and some people fail to consider that they would have to pay back the cash they spent on the credit card. So not shopping at all should put you in the safe.

2) A student loan is usually alot. You should use credit becuase sometimes you don’t have the cash right away. If you graduate college with a degree, you cold get a job in the area you got a degree from. If successful and your careful about your spending, you should be able to pay back your student loan. Going to college and using credit is definitely the better answer here since a lot of jobs that can make you a living and could be used to pay back the student loan require a college degree. If you don;t go to college, sure you don’t have to pay back anything but you would be stuck with a very low income job and sometimes you would be barley making a living. The chances of a better job decreases if you don’t go to college since most jobs are looking for a special degree or at least a college degree.

3) Renting would be the best choice using cash. If your gonna get a house, you have to consider your income. If your income is low, a house is not a old choice. If a house is more expensive, a mortgage would be better since the interest is a one way (most of the time) but a credit has monthly intresest so the interest totaled up on an expensive house would be a lot. On a cheaper house its vice versa. If you have a low income job just rent with cash, renting would be best. Your most likely gonna live in a house forever but if you have to move somewhere, you’d have to sell it and do a bunch of confusing stuff and maybe get in even more debt, if you rent, you can move easily if you have to move somewhere closre to your work.

4) Vacation should be put on a personal loan. If your gonna go on vacation, don’t use credit. A vacation isn’t mandatory, you can go whenever you want. Juse becuase your friends are going to Hawaii, you don’t have to. If you have enough money, sure go for it, but you have to consider what you will do there and how big of a toll this could have your personal savings account. Like for example, lets say a plane ticket cost about 600 dollars. A hotel for a week stay would be about 100 dollars per night and that would be 700 dollars. Lets set aside 200 for entertainment and food. You would be rounding up to 1500 dollars just for a week in Hawaii and that’s just estimated (and probably the least amount).

5) Now for a car it really depends on what your job is and how far your job is. The best option I think would be buying a car with cash (if you have), credit (if you think you can pay it back). So if your job is like 10 miles away, a car would be the best since the subway or busses would take a long time and sometimes could not be consistent. A car would be faster and more reliable. If your job starts at 8am and using public transportation, it takes about an hour to get there. You leave at 7 am and the bus or train arrives 30 minutes late, your late for work and if it happens mulitple times, you could get fired. WIth a car its almost a 100 percent garuntee you wouldn’t be late and it’s faster. You’d keep your job and be able to pay off your Car if credit or just gain your money back if you used cash. If your job is next door, a car is useless but a car offers transportation. If you use like public transportation to go somewhere fun, it is cheap, bit with a car, you’d have to worry about gas prices and you’d have to pay a lot of attention. So it really depends on location.

In 2011 oil production in Libya was interrupted by political unrest. At the same time, the demand for oil by China continued to
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Quantity of oil bought & sold would depend upon relative change i.e increase & decrease in demand & supply respectively.

  • ↑Dd = ↓Sy : Qty same
  • ↑Dd > ↓Sy : Qty ↑
  • ↑Dd < ↓Sy : Qty ↓

Explanation:

Libya is an exporter of Oil to China. It implies china's demand for oil is satisfied by Libya's imports.

Usual markets are at equilibrium when market demand = market supply, demand & supply curves intersect.

Political unrest in Libya decreasing oil production, would decrease supply (exported) of oil to China & sift supply curve leftwards. Simultaneously, increase in China demand for oil would shift the demand curve rightwards. These changes in demand, supply would create excess demand. Excess demand would cause competition among buyers & increase the new equilibrium price.

However, <u>Quantity </u>of oil bought & sold would depend upon relative change , shift in demand & supply. If increase in demand is equal to decrease in supply, the quantity would remain<u> same.</u> If increase in demand is more than  decrease in supply, quantity will <u>increase</u>. If increase in demand is less than decrease in supply, the quantity will <u>decrease.</u>
