devlian [24]

Incomplete question. I answered from a general economic standpoint.

Answer:

stay the same; decrease

Explanation:

Remember, in this scenario, it wasn't as though the mentioned workers lost their jobs, they only had their hours reduced by their employers; so they are not unemployed. This, therefore, implies that the unemployment rate will stay the same.

The labor force participation rate in simple words refers to the percentage of those who are currently employed or looking for a job within an economy. If the working hours are reduced, it may diminish the zeal among the workforce of an economy to work or find work because they may perceive they''ll earn less.

In the late 1800s, a Frenchman observed that individuals who recovered from a disease were not susceptible to that same disease

hoa [83]

Answer:

The process of "exposing healthy subjects to related or weakened disease agents to protect them from the pathogenic agent is now known as vaccination." But using the syphilis organisms would spread a full-blown serious disease agent. "Mercury and Salvarsan were used to treat syphilis. Although both treatments killed the bacterium, Treponema pallidum, the causative agent of syphilis they also caused rashes, liver damage, loss of limbs and life. These side effects have been attributed to improper handling of the drug."

Anit [1.1K]

Answer: $17.28

Explanation:

6 month free concession in first year drops rent to:

= 20 / 2

= $10

Effective rent = [Present value of Year 1 rent + Present value of Year 2 rent + Present value of Year 3 rent ] / [ 1 - (1 / (1 + rate)^ number of years) / rate]

= [(10 / (1 + 10%) ) + (21 / (1 + 10%)²) + (22 / (1 + 10%)³)] * [1 - (1 / (1 + 10%)³/ 10%)]

= (9.09 + 17.355 + 16.5289) / 2.48685

= $17.28

Cotrone Beverages makes energy drinks in three flavors: Original, Strawberry, and Orange. Company is currently operating at 75 p

irina [24]

Relevant Information:

The relevant information is as under:

Segmented income statements appear as follows:

Product Original Strawberry Orange

Sales 65,200 85,600 102,400

Variable costs (44,000) (77,200) (80,200)

Contribution margin 21,200 8,400 22,200

Fixed costs allocated (9,400) (12,000) (14,200)

Operating profit (loss) 11,800 (3,600) 8,000

Answer:

The product not be closed because it is generating net cash flows of ($3,060), which will generate loss for the organization. The better option would be to not abandoning the manufacturing of Strawberry.

Explanation:

Relevant costing says that any savings or losses are relevant if it satisfy following three conditions:

Is a cash flow.
Future related (Not arising due to Past bindings).
Differential or Incremental in nature.

Its crystal clear that any inflows and outflows that are considered would be cash in nature, not related to past events it must be arising as a consequence of taking the decision whose consequences are we considering now, I mean it must arise in future due to the decision made which are considering. The last condition is the concept of differential that lies in the heart of relevant costing and is easily understood by following the following steps:

Step 1: What are the losses or savings if we don't make decision?

Step 2: What are the losses or savings if we make the decision?

Step 3: The difference between step one and two is differential or incremental cost.

Here we learned that relevant cost arises if we take the decision (closing manufacturing of Strawberry), and it doesn't arises if we don't take the decision (not abandoning manufacturing of Strawberry).

Relevant costs associated with the decision are as under:

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Make Decision If we Don't Differential

Revenue loss (85,600) - (85,600)

Variable Costs Savings 77,200 - 77,200

Fixed costs Savings (W1) 5340 - 5340

Operating Profit (3,060)

Working1: Fixed costs Savings

Total Fixed costs =21400+12000+14200 = $35,600

The saving is 15% of the total fixed cost and is as under:

Fixed costs Savings = $35,600 * 15% = $5340
