Answer:

1.

* Number of Cups of coffee served in a week is 1,800:

Fixed cost: $1,100

Variable cost: $0.26

Total cost average cost per cup: $0.87 ( which is calculated as Total Fixed cost/Total of cups served + Variable cost per unit = 1,100/1,800 + 0.26)

* Number of Cups of coffee served in a week is 1,900:

Fixed cost: $1,100

Variable cost: $0.26

Total cost average cost per cup: $0.84 ( which is calculated as Total Fixed cost/Total of cups served + Variable cost per unit = 1,100/1,900 + 0.26)

* Number of Cups of coffee served in a week is 2,000:

Fixed cost: $1,100

Variable cost: $0.26

Total cost average cost per cup: $0.81 ( which is calculated as Total Fixed cost/Total of cups served + Variable cost per unit = 1,100/2,000 + 0.26)

2.

The average cost per cup of coffee served decreases as the number of cups of coffee served in a week increases.

This is because average cost per cup of coffee served is equal to the sum of allocated fixed cost to one cup of coffee + variable cost of one cup of coffee. Although the variable cost of one cup of coffee remains the same given changes in the number of cups served, the allocated fixed cost to one cup of coffee decreases as the cups served increases as Total fixed cost remained the same, yet it will be allocated to more cup served, so the amount allocated to one cup served will decreases.

A formula will make it easy to understand:

Average cost per cup of coffee served = Variable Cost + Total Fixed cost/Total of cups served. Variable cost and total fixed cost remains the same with the variation of number of cup served; thus as number of cups served increases, Average cost per cup of coffee served decreases.

Calculate the activity rate per grooming order. $fill in the blank 1 per grooming order 2. Calculate, in terms of grooming order
atroni [7]

Solution :

1. calculate the activity rate per grooming order

Activity rate                                                        <u>    Amount paid to agent     </u>

                                                                             Number of grooming order

                                                                             <u>            28,000          </u>

                                                                                          4,000

Therefore, the activity rate  = 7 per grooming order

2. Calculating, in terms of grooming order, the :

a. Total activity availability

   Number of grooming orders  (A)                         =    4,000

   Number of agents (B)                                            <u>            5   </u>

  Total activity availability (A x B)                               20,000

b). Total activity availability                                     20,000

Less: Orders actually processed                        <u>   (17,800)   </u>          

Unused capacity                                                     2,200

3. calculating the dollar cost of :

a). Amount paid to the agent (A                       28,000

Number of agents (B)                                      <u>          5    </u>

Total activity availability in dollars (AxB)        140,000

b). Unused capacity (A)                                       2,200

Activity rate (B)                                                 <u>           7 </u>

Unused capacity in dollars (AxB)                    15,400

Consider the market for meekers in the imaginary economy of Meekertown. In the absence of international trade, the domestic pric
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Export

true

Explanation:

Because the price of meekers in meekertown is lower than the world price for meekers, meekers from meekertown are cheaper. so if free trade is allowed, other countries would want to purchase meekers from meekertown because it is cheaper.

So, meekertown would export meekers if free trade is allowed.

When a country is too small affect the world price, allowing for free trade will always increase total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.

this is so because if the country is efficient in production of a good (producing at a lower price when compared to the world price), export of the good would increase thus increasing producer surplus. if on the other hand, the country is inefficient in producing a good and the country allows for free trade, the country can import the good. this would increase consumer surplus.

Cost of Debt. Micro Spinoffs Inc. issued 20-year debt a year ago at par value with a coupon rate of 8%, paid annually. Today, th
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

5.925%

Explanation:

For computing the cost of debt, first we have to determine the YTM by using the Rate formula that is shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Present value = $1,050

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 8%  = $80

NPER = 20 year - 1 year = 19 year

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  

1. The pretax cost of debt is 7.50%

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 7.50% × ( 1 - 0.21)

= 5.925%
