Answer:

c)$3,000 decrease

Explanation:

The sales less the variable cost gives the contribution margin. The contribution margin less the fixed cost gives the net operating income.

Considering the data given with respect to the special order, the net income would be equal to the sales less the additional cost which are variable and fixed.

net profit/(loss) from order

= 1000 ($15 - $5 - $12 - $1)

= ($3000)

Answer:

a)$2,000 increase

Explanation:

As fixed cost is the irrelevant expense in the decision making for the special order. It is avoidable cost.

Special Order

Quantity 1000 scales

Price                            $15 per sale

Less: Variable cost     $12 per sale

Less: Shipping cost    $1 per sale

Contribution margin   $2 per scale

Total Contribution margin = 1,000 scales x $2 per scale = $2,000

Net Income will increase by $2,000 if the special order is accepted.

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

$55,000

Explanation:

A Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) Plan is used in the United States by employers or self-employed persons to provide retirement benefits for themselves and their employees

As stated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the contributions that can be made to each employee’s SEP-IRA each year is which one is lower between 25% of compensation and the maximum of $55,000 for 2018.

We can then calculate as follow:

1. Jerry's contribution calculation = 25% × $187,600 =  46,900.

2. Maximum allowable = $55,000.

Since a defined contribution plan states that Jerry will contribute the maximum amount allowable and the maximum for 2018 is $55,000, Jerry's contribution will therefore be $55,000.

A sharp downturn in the U.S. housing market reduced the income of many who worked in the home construction industry. A Wall Stre
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section.

Explanation:

If the wages of the Hispanics construction worker in America are less then, they will not have near as much money to send home to their relatives back in Mexico.

And if their families do not have as much as it use to be then they will not be able to buy near as much as they used to.

It means that if the construction workers don't get as much money as they used to then, neither they nor their families  will be able to spend as much as they use to which will obviously hurt each of their economies.

qwelly [4]

Answer:

C. adopt measures to fix wages and prices.

Explanation:

Between 1775 - 1783, the thirteen (13) colonies in Congress warred against the British because of its lack of colonial representation and the objection of the British to the direct taxation method introduced by the parliament. This war was known as the American revolutionary war or American war of independence.

Consequently, this war resulted in a deep economic crisis and inflation for the people of America.

To deal with this wartime economic crisis in 1779, Congress urged states to adopt measures to fix wages and prices such as refusal to issue continental dollars but resort to the issuing of tax adjustment  notes, loan office certificates, warrants, quartermaster notes, etc.
