Answer:

since the EBIT without monthly leasing and boarding costs is $60,247.96, then that would be the highest possible amount that the company could pay for leasing and boarding if it wants to break even.

Explanation:

Since the company expects to sell 7,054 tickets per month:

  • I will assume 60% are sold by brokers = 7,054 x 60% =  4,232 tickets

*the question stated that brokers sold 65% of the tickets and the company 40%, but that is above 100%

total monthly revenue = 7,054 x $18 = $126,972

municipal fee 17% of revenue = $317,430 x 17% = ($21,585.24‬)

cost of souvenir per passenger $0.50 = 7,054 x $0.50 = ($3,527)

carriage drivers wage = 7,054 x $2.90 = ($20,456.60)

monthly payroll = ($8,500)

monthly fixed costs = ($8,000)

brokerage fees = 4,232 x $1.10 = ($4,655.20)

EBIT without monthly leasing and boarding costs = $60,247.96

since the EBIT without monthly leasing and boarding costs is $60,247.96, then that would be the highest possible amount that the company could pay for leasing and boarding if it wants to break even.

Santana Rey, owner of Business Solutions, decides to diversify her business by also manufacturing computer workstation furniture
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials: $2,900 VARAIBLE

Factory overhead: $530 MIXED (ussually)

Direct labor: $900 VARIABLE

Beginning work in process: none (December 31, 2017)

Ending work in process: $520 (January 31, 2018)

Beginning finished goods inventory: none (December 31, 2017)

Ending finished goods inventory: $350 (January 31, 2018)

<u>To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:</u>

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

cost of goods manufactured= 0 + 2,900 + 900 + 530 - 520

cost of goods manufactured= $3,810

<u>Now, we can determine the cost of goods sold:</u>

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

beginning finished inventory= 0

cost of goods manufactured= 3,810

ending finished inventory= (350)

Cost of goods manufactured= $3,460

At an activity level of 9,300 machine-hours in a month, Falks Corporation’s total variable production engineering cost is $829,5
Neko [114]

Answer: $109.3 per machine hour

Explanation: We can compute total production engineering cost per hour by using following equation :-

=cost\:per\:machine\:hour=\frac{fixed\:cost\:+\:variable\:cost}{total\:machine\:hours}

but first we need to calculate variable cost at 9600 hours :-

=\$829,560\times\frac{9600hr}{9300hr}

       = $856,320

now,

=cost\:per\:machine\:hour=\frac{\$192,960+\$856,320}{9600hr}

      =$109.3 per machine hour

Suppose that France and Denmark both produce fish and stained glass. France's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained gl
andriy [413]

Answer:

France has a comparative advantage in the production of stained glass.

Denmark has a comparative advantage in production of fish.

France will gain from trade as long as it gets more than 3 pounds of fish for each pane of stained glass.

Denmark can gain from trade if it gets more than 0.09 pane of stained glass for each pound of fish it exports.

4 pounds of fish per pane of stained glass.

7 pounds of fish per pane of stained glass.

Explanation:

France and Denmark both produce fish and stained glass.

France's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass

= 3 pounds of fish

Denmark's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass

= 11 pounds of fish

France's opportunity cost of producing a pound of fish

= \frac{1}{3}

= 0.33 pane of stained glass

Denmark's opportunity cost of producing a pound of fish

= \frac{1}{11}

= 0.09 pane of stained glass

France has a lower opportunity cost of producing stained glass so we can say it has a comparative advantage in the production of stained glass. While Denmark has a comparative advantage in the production of fish.

If both countries start to trade with each other, France will gain from trade as long as it gets more than 3 pounds of fish for each pane of stained glass.

While Denmark can gain from trade if it gets more than 0.09 pane of stained glass for each pound of fish it exports.

Both the countries will gain from trade if the trade price lies between their opportunity cost. both countries will gain from trade if the price is 4 pounds of fish per pane of stained glass or 7 pounds of fish per pane of stained glass.
