Answer: b. second degree price discrimination
Since the school pays a different rate for the first million kilowatts consumed and a lower rate for any consumption over a million kilowatts, second degree price discrimination is at play.
When corporations or businesses sell the same product to different customers at different prices, with a view to maximize profits, price discrimination is said to occur.
There are three types of price discrimination -
First Degree price discrimination
Second Degree price discrimination
Third Degree price discrimination
First degree price discrimination occurs when the supplier sells the goods at a price the customer is willing to pay for the good.
Second Degree price discrimination occurs when the supplier establishes slabs for different quantities of goods sold. In this case, the supplier will offer a higher per unit cost for lower quantity of goods, and a lower per unit cost for a higher quantity of goods
Third degree price discrimination occurs when a firm is able to clearly divide its markets into segments. The products are positioned in each segment in a different manner.
Answer:
$56,000 Favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the flexible-budget amount for variable manufacturing overhead is shown below
The Budgeted machine hours per unit os
= 24,000 ÷ 8,000
= 3
The Budgeted machine hours allowed for 8,500 units is
= 8,500 × 3
= 25,500
Now the Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour is
= $288,000 ÷ 24,000
= $12.00
Now
Flexible-budget amount is
= 25,500 × $12.00
= $306,000
So, the Flexible-budget variance is
= $250,000 - $306,000
= $56,000 Favorable
Answer: ethical dilemma
Explanation: In simple words, ethical dilemma refers to a condition in which an individual in authority have to make a choice of accepting one alternative over other in which none of the alternative is fully acceptable from the point of ethics.
In other words, it can be defined as a situation in which two principles of ethical psychology conflicts with each other. In these conditions, authority making the decision can never be fully ethical and have to give priority to one of the principles involved.
Hence from the above we can conclude that the given case depicts ethical dilemma.
Answer:
5.13%
Explanation:
Given:
Worth of investment today (PV) = $1,000
Investment worth after 6 years (FV) = $1,350
Time period of investment (nper) = 6 Years
It is required to compute annual return (RATE). This can be computed using spreadsheet function =RATE(nper,-PV,FV).
Substituting the values, we get =RATE(6,-1000,1350)
= 5.13%
Present value is negative as it is a cash outflow.
Therefore, annual return is computes as 5.13%.
