Answer:

A)= 20+24Q-4Q^{2} (This is the equation for the net benefits)

B) 40; 40

C)MNB(Q)= 24-8Q

D) 16; -16

E) Q=3

F)0

Explanation:

a) To write out the equation for the net benefits.

First, net benefits represents the difference obtained when the total benefits exceed the total costs derived form Q units of the control variable

Based on the definition, the equation is as follows

N(Q)= B(Q) - C(Q)

representing

N(Q)= The Net benefits that are derived from Q level of control variable

B(Q)= The total benefits derived from Q units of control variable

C(Q)= The total cost form Q units of control variable

As we have been given the following:B(Q)= 100 + 36Q - $4Q^{2}$ and C(Q) = 80 +12Q

This means:

N(Q)= 100+36Q-4Q^{2}- (80+12Q)

= 100+36Q-4Q^{2}-80-12Q

=100-80+36q-12Q-4Q^{2}

=20+24Q-4Q^{2}

= 20+24Q-4Q^{2} (This is the equation for the net benefits)

b) Determine he net benefits when Q = 1 and Q=5

Step 1) when Q=1 we use the formula 20+24Q-4Q^{2}

= 20+24Q-4Q^{2}

= 20(24x1)-(4x (1^{2))

=20+24-4

=40

Step 2) when Q=5 we use the formula 20+24Q-4Q^{2}

= 20+24Q-4Q^{2}

= 20(24x5)-(4x (5^{2))

=20+120-4x25

=140-100

=40

c)To write out the equation for the marginal net benefits

Marginal net benefits represent the change experienced in net benefits with change in one unit of the control variable

The formula therefore is as follows:

MNB(Q)=MB (Q)-MC(Q)

Representing

MNB (Q)= The marginal net benefits at Q level of control variable

MB(Q)= marginal benefits

MC(Q)=Marginal Costs

We are already given: MB(Q) = 36 – 8Q and MC(Q) = 12.)

This means

MNB(Q)=MB (Q)-MC(Q)

= 36-8Q-12

36-12-8Q

=24-8Q

MNB(Q)= 24-8Q

d) Find the marginal net benefits

Step 1) when Q=1 we use the formula for marginal net benefit MNB(Q)= 24-8Q

=MNB(Q)= 24-8(1)

= 16

Step 2) when Q=5 we use the formula for marginal net benefit MNB(Q)= 24-8Q

=MNB(Q)= 24-8(5)

=24-40

=-16

e) Calculate the maximum net benefits which represent the maximum level where the marginal costs= marginal benefits (it is a control variable level).

MB(Q)=MC(C)

MB(Q)= Marginal benefits

MC(Q)= Marginal Costs

We already know that MB(Q) =36-8Q and MC(Q)=12

Therefore, maximum benefit

= MB(Q)= MC(Q)

=36-8Q=12

8Q=36-12

8Q= 24

Q= 3.

This means that when Q is 3, then the net benefits will be at its maximum level

f) Compute marginal net benefits which is the difference between the marginal costs and benefits

MNB(Q)=MB(Q)-MC(Q)

MNB(Q)= Marginal net benefits

MB(Q)= Marginal benefits

MC(Q)= Marginal Costs

we already know that MB(Q) =36-8Q and MC(Q)=12

MNB(Q)= 36-8Q-12

=36-12-8Q

=24-8Q

Since the maximum level where net benefits are highest is 3 as calculated above, we then replace Q with 3 in the equation

MNB(Q)= =24-8(3)

= 24-24

This means at Q level of 3, the net costs will be equal to the net benefits and the net benefits are at the maximum level.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

When this scenario takes place within the economy the main consequence is that there is a shift from one component of the money supply such as checkable deposits with less multiple expansion to another money supply such as traveler's checks. This therefore causes the money supply with multiple expansions to increase.

Direct materials $ 74,000 Direct labor $ 37,500 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 17,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 29,500 Tot

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials $ 74,000

Direct labor $ 37,500

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 17,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead 29,500

Total manufacturing overhead $ 46,500

Variable selling expense $ 13,000

Fixed selling expense 20,000

Total selling expense $ 33,000

Variable administrative expense $ 4,500

Fixed administrative expense 26,000

Total administrative expense $ 30,500

- Period costs are not directly tied to the production process. Overhead or sales, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs are considered period costs. SG&A includes costs of the corporate office, selling, marketing, and the overall administration of company business.

- Product costs are the direct costs involved in producing a product. A manufacturer, for example, would have production costs that include: Direct labor, Raw materials, Manufacturing supplies, Overhead that's directly tied to the production facility such as electricity.

Period costs= total selling expense + total administrative expense

Period costs= 33000 + 30500= $63,500

Product costs= direct materials + direct labor + MOH

Product costs= 74,000 + 37,500 + 46,500= $158,000

A firm has sales of $1,090, net income of $213, net fixed assets of $518, and current assets of $274. The firm has $88 in invent

shutvik [7]

Answer:

11.11%

Explanation:

Calculation for the common-size balance sheet value of inventory

First step is to find the Total assets

Using this formula

Total Assets=Net fixed assets +Current assets

Let plug in the formula

Total assets = $518 + 274 = $792

Second step is to find the Common -size value of inventory

Using this formula

Common -size value of inventory = Inventory/ Total assets

Let plug in the formula

Common-size value of inventory = $88/$792

= .1111, or 11.11%

Therefore the Common-size value of inventory will be 11.11%
