________ occurs when production is in accordance with consumer preferences.
Alika [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is Allocative efficiency.

Explanation:

Although there are different evaluation standards for the concept of allocation efficiency, the basic principle states that, in any economic system, the different options in the allocation of resources will produce both "winners" and "losers" in relation to the choice being evaluated. The principles of rational choice theory, individual maximization, utilitarianism and market theory assume, in addition, that the results for both winners and losers can be identified, compared and measured.

From these basic premises, the objective of maximizing the efficiency in the allocation can be defined according to some neutral principle in which some options are considered “objectively better than others”. For example, an economist might say that a change in policy increases the efficiency of allocation, as long as those who benefit from the change (winners) earn more than the losers lose.

maw [93]

Answer:

Chicken drumsticks:

pounds 6,600 -  7,230.22 = -630,22‬

market value: 6,600 - 5,478 = 1,122

Breast:

pounds 13,000 -  9037,88 =       3,962.12

market value: 13,000 - 10.790 = 2,210.00

Changing the allocation method detemriantes whether the drumstick are profitable or not thus, it should be considered which method is better suited.

Explanation:

Joint cost:

9,400 mateirals + 6,868 processing Total =

pounds to allocate cost:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Product&Sales&Weight&Cost\\Drumstick&4000&0.44&7230.22\\Breast&5000&0.56&9037.8\\\\Total&9000&1&16268\\\end{array}\right]

using market value:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Product&Sales&Weight&Cost\\Drumstick&6600&0.3367&5478\\Breast&13000&0.6633&10790\\\\Total&19600&1&16268\\\end{array}\right]

Then, we calcualte the gross margin under each method

Chicken drumsticks:

pounds 6,600 -  7,230.22 = -630,22‬

market value: 6,600 - 5,478 = 1,122

Breast:

pounds 13,000 -  9037,88 =       3,962.12

market value: 13,000 - 10.790 = 2,210.00

Rank the following three stocks by their level of total risk, highest to lowest. Rail Haul has an average return of 12 percent a
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Idol Staff, Rail Haul, Poker-R-Us

Explanation:

The standard deviation of a stock is a measure of the volatility of the stock or simply put, a measure of risk of the stock.

The idea of using standard deviation as a measure of stock risk is in the relation of the stock to its returns.

The farther the standard deviation is from the revenue, the more risky or at risk the stock is.

From the above question, Idol staff has the highest level of risk of 20% (i.e 35-15). Next up is Rail Haul with a risk level of 13% (i.e 25-12). the stock with tthe lowest risk level is Poker-R-Us with 11% (i.e 20-9).

Cheers.

rent expense                 1600

depreciation expense   200

operating expense <u>2600</u>

net income                16045

   

Sales Revenues          26100

Variable Cost               <u>     6305 </u>

Contribution margin        19795

net income                   16045

traditional:

COGS

$12 tub / 30 ice cream cones = $0.40

+ 0.25 ice cream cones

total per unit 0.65

8,700 x 0.65 = 5655

Gross profit: sales revenue less COGS

then, we subtract the rent expense, depreicaiton expense and operatign expenses to get net income.

contribution the variable cost will be subtracted from the sales revenues

that will include the 75% of the operating expenses

The difference between sales revenue and variable cost is called contribution margin.

Goodman Company's inventory records show the following data: Units 5,000 4,500 3,000 Unit Cost $9.00 8.20 7.00 Inventory, Januar
balu736 [363]

Answer:

A. 3000 units x $7 = $21000

Explanation:

FIFO (First-In-First-Out) is a method of inventory valuation where the stock that is purchased first is used first. In other words, the oldest stock is used first. This is common for perishable items which if not used up fast, will be wasted.

Jan 01 - Beginning inventory : 5000 units x $9 = $45000

Jun 18 - Purchases : 4500 units x $8.20 = $36900

Nov 08 - Purchases : 3000 units x $7 = $21000

Total inventory = 5000 + 4500 + 3000 = 12,500 units

Ending inventory = 3,000 units

Hence, inventory sold = 9,500 units

The cost of goods sold using FIFO:

5000 units x $9 = $45000

4500 units x $8.20 = $36900

COGS = $45000 + $36900 = $81900 (9500 units)

Ending inventory :

3000 units x $7 = $21000 (3000 units)
