Answer: The price of the tied good is $20.

Explanation: The practice of tying is used to package products in such a way that the price of the tied (combined) good is closer to the buyers total willingness to pay for the two goods.

In this case, the total willingness to pay of Carnivore is $20+$7=$27

While, that of Leafygreens is $8+$12=$20

Thus, the producer will sell the combined good at $20 as it this price both the consumers will buy the tied good. If the producer sells it at $27, then only the Carnivore will buy the good but Leafygreens will not.

Thus, with zero marginal cost of serving additional consumer it is better for the producer to sell at $20.

Veronica Mars, a recent graduate of Bell's accounting program, evaluated the operating performance of Dunn Company's six divisio
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Effect on income= -$49,500

They lost the positive contribution margin increased by the fixed costs. Veronica is wrong.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Veronica made the following presentation to Dunn's board of directors and suggested the Percy Division be eliminated. "If the Percy Division is eliminated," she said, "our total profits would increase by $25,500.

Percy Division

Sales= $100,000

Cost of goods sold= 76,000

Gross profit= 24,000

Operating expenses= 49,500

Net income= (25,500)

In the Percy Division, the cost of goods sold is $59,000 variable and $17,000 fixed, and operating expenses are $29,000 variable and $20,500 fixed.

None of the Percy Division's fixed costs are avoidable.

Effect on income= -contribution margin - fixed costs

Effect on income= -(100,000 - 88,000) - 37,500= -$49,500

They lost the positive contribution margin increased by the fixed costs.

LO 4.5Why are the overhead costs first accumulated in the manufacturing overhead account instead of in the work in process inven
vivado [14]

Answer  Explanation:

For the manufacturing overhead occurs during the manufacturing process but unlike wages, the actual values are unknow thus, we cannot anticipate in a guarantee amount. Hence, the cost accounting works as follows:

It will stablish a predetermined overhead rate which will be charged against WIP based on another factor which can be measure (like working hours, machine hours, among others)

Then, during the period as the actual cost occurs they will be charged into manufacturing overhead account.

At the end of the period, we will be able to determinate the actual cost and adjust COGS, WIP and FINISHED GOOD if needed to represent the actual cost of the inventory produced.

In a new margin account, a customer sells short $60,000 worth of ABC stock and deposits $30,000 to meet the Regulation T require
Sidana [21]

The SMA balance in the account would be 7500.

<h3>What is Special Memorandum Account (SMA)?</h3>

The excess margin from a client's margin account is put into a special memorandum account (SMA), which is a dedicated investment account, improving the client's purchasing power. The SMA, which is often referred to as a "special miscellaneous account," functions effectively as a line of credit.

It's important to distinguish between separately managed accounts, often known as SMAs, and special memorandum accounts.

A short account's market value decreases by $1 for every $1 of SMA to be created. The SMA balance would be $7,500 if the market value decreases by $5,000.

A public good Multiple Choice is available to all and cannot be denied to anyone. can be profitably produced by private firms. i
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

is available to all and cannot be denied to anyone.

Explanation:

Public goods are both nonexcludable and nonrivalrous. This means that everyone is entitled to use them and when someone is using them it doesn't mean others can't use them at the same time. Of course there is always a limit to the capacity of their use, like roads can only be used by certain amount of cars.

For this particular characteristic of public goods is that private firms don't offer them. Private firms' main concern is making the largest possible profit and public goods usually aren't profitable. That is why the government has to provide public goods since no one else will.

Answer: bribery and conflict of interest

                   

Explanation: In simple words, bribery refers to the act under which one individual tries to persuade the behavior of another individual for his benefit  by offering him or her monetary benefits.

Whereas, conflict of interest refers to a situation when someone has the authority to make decisions that benefits himself more than the entity he is working for.

Hence we can conclude that the above case depicts bribery and conflict of interest.
