Answer: Option a

                             

Explanation: Payback period in capital budgeting comes from a time needed to recover or exceed the break-even point of the funds spent on a project. Moreover, the payback period does not take into account the time value of money.

It is based on the number of years it would take for the funds spent to be recovered. Thus, payback period only evaluates a project on the basis of time period it takes to recover back the investment this results in ignorance of cash flows, which might be huge in amount, that results after the pay back period.

Perfect Pet Collar Company makes custom leather pet collars. The company expects each collar to require 2.05 feet of leather and
Katarina [22]

Answer:

1. $3.20 x 2.20 = $7.04

2. It will be favorable.

3. It will be unfavorable.

4. Direct material price variance = $22

   Direct material quantity variance = 0.48

Explanation:

1. Standard direct cost per unit=cost of direct materials price x direct material standard quantity per unit.

2. It will be favorable because they expected or had budgeted to pay $3.60 per foot for the material but the actual cost became $3.20. So they  pay $0.40 less than they had expected to pay.

3. It will be unfavorable because they had planed or budgeted for each unit to use 2.05 feet of leather but they ended up needing 2.20 feet of leather per collar so that means they under budgeted by 0.15 feet.

4. Direct material price variance =( $3.60 x 55) less ($3.20x55)=$22

The total amount that was budgeted or expected to be paid is subtracted from the total actual  price that was paid.

Direct material quantity variance = (2.05x$3.20) less (2.20x$3.20)= -0.48

The total direct material quantity that is used is subtracted from the quantity that was expected to be used.

stepladder [879]

Answer:

b. False

gtnhenbr [62]

<u>Answer</u> is D. remain at $30,000.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Suppose that Dunkin Donuts reduces the price of its regular coffee from $2 to $1 per cup, and as a result, the quantity sold per
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:price elasticity of demand for Dunkin Donuts’ regular coffee is 1.8

Explanation: Using the midpoint formnulae

Price elasticity of Demand =percentage change in quantity demanded/ Percentage change in price.

Percentage change in quantity = new quantity  - old quantity  / (new quantity + old quantity)/2  x 100

= 40-10/(40+10)/ 2 = 30 /25 = 1.2 x 100 =120%

Percentage change in price  = new price   - old price   / new price + old price)/2   x 100

= 1- 2 / (1+2)/2= -1/1.5x 100 = -66.67 %

Price elasticity of Demand =percentage change in quantity demanded/ Percentage change in price.

= 120%/-66.67%= -1.79 = -1.8

For Price elasticity of demand, the sign is not included and the basis for elasticity is on the value itself . here we can conclude that the Price elasticity of demand for Dunkin donut is 1.8 and elastic because a fall in price led to an increase in amount being sold.
