Answer:

The minimum the company must charge for fire insurance policies in California​ subdivision is $2,252.

Explanation:

We have the chance of a wildfire destroying all the homes in the subdivision is: 1/41 or nearly 2.44%.

The minimum the company must charge for fire insurance and still maintain a positive expected value is calculated as:

The average cost to build a home in the subdivision * the chance of a wildfire destroying all the homes in the subdivision = 92,297 * 2.44% = $2,252.

So, the answer is $2,252.

Suppose that the inverse demand equation is p​ = 100 minus 2Q and the supply equation is p​ = 2Q. If the price is controlled at
Irina18 [472]

Answer: P =$50

Q= 25

Explanation: P= 100-2Q

P= 2Q

To get the quantity supplied Q, we have to educate both equations

100-2Q=2Q, 100=2Q+2Q

100=4Q, Q=100/4 , Q=25

To get the equilibrium price we have to substitute the value of Q which is 25 into any of the equation.

Using equation 1

P=100-2Q, P=100-2(25)

P=100-50, P=$50.

If the price is controlled at $60, then the production pays the producer this is because a commodity is not expected to be sold at the equilibrium price, price flooring is a way that government or a group control the market price of a commodity or produce by imposing a particular price on it. This is to ensure that the producers are not at loss with their production, a price floor is always higher than the equilibrium price to be effective as seen in the example given above, price floor is $60 while equilibrium price is $50.

An example of a price floor for services can be seen in the minimum wage stated by the government this is to ensure that people's services are not misused anyhow.

Price flooring most times can lead to surplus quantity produced if consumers are not willing to pay the price, because the producer will be wiling to produce more in order to make more profit.

Edgar, Inc. has a materials price standard of $2.00 per pound. Six thousand pounds of materials were purchased at $2.20 a pound.
butalik [34]

Answer:

materials quantity variance: 1,200 unfavorable

Explanation:

(standard\:quantity-actual\:quantity) \times standard \: cost = DM \: quantity \: variance

std quantity 5400.00

actual quantity 6000.00

std cost  $2.00

(5,400 - 6,000) \times 2.00 = DM \: quantity \: variance

difference -600.00

quantity variance  $(1,200.00)

The difference between standard and actual quantity is negative. We used more pounds than expected, the variance will be unfavorable.

600 extra pounds at $2.00 each = 1,200

Spartan Systems reported total sales of $374,400, at a price of $24 and per unit variable expenses of $13, for the sales of thei
V125BC [204]

Answer:

$214,500

Explanation:

For the computation of the amount of contribution margin first we need to follow some steps which are shown below:

No of units sold = Total sales ÷ selling price per unit

= $374,400 ÷ $24

= $156,00

Variable cost = No of units sold × Variable cost per unit

Variable cost = $15,600 × $13

=$202,800

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost

= $374,400 - $202,800

= $171,600

CM ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales

= $171,600 ÷ $374,400

= 0.46

Contribution margin = CM ratio × Sales Contribution margin

= 0.46 × (1.25 × $374,400)

= $214,500
