Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": maximizing profits is the primary objective of a firm.

Explanation:

Business private ownership mainly focuses on providing a good or service to a specific or diverse market with the ultimate goal of maximizing profits. Revenue is the reason why those companies exist. On the other hand, state property has the objective of protecting jobs and minimizing social issues.

A wireless phone service provider advertises that their average startup fee is $73. Given that their startup fees are $8, $85, $

ipn [44]

Answer:

The reason why it is statisticaly misleading is because, while it is true that the average fee is $73 (the median value in statistical terms), averages are a statistical measure that is very sensitive to extreme values.

That is to say, if a value is very high, or very low, the statistical mean will be biased.

We can see this in the question. Three values are higher than the average, and relatively close: $85, $92, and $107. The third value, however, is way lower, at only $8. This extreme low value alters the median value, making it biased and misleading.

The standard cost of Product B manufactured by Pharrell Company includes 2.0 units of direct materials at $6.9 per unit. During

LekaFEV [45]

Solution:

Given information,

SP=$6.9

SQ=27400 (13,[email protected])

AP=$6.85

AQ=27,500

Now,

Price variance is AQ(SP-AP), or 27,500($.2)=$5500 (This is favorable, since the materials were obtained at below average cost.)

Quantity variance is SP(SQ-AQ), or $6.9(-1000)= -$6900 (This is unfavorable, since more than the standard quantity was used.)

Total materials variance can be obtained two ways:

SQ*SP-AQ*AP, or totalling the two variances already calculated.

SQ*SP-AQ*AP = 189060 - 188375

SQ*SP-AQ*AP = 685

2. Given information,

SP=$6.9

SQ=27400 (13,[email protected])

AP=$6.85

AQ=27,500

Now, price variance: AQ(SP-AP)= 27,500(6.9-6.85) =1375

Quantity variance: SP(SQ-AQ)=6.9(27,400-27,500)= -690

Thus total variance: -690

(Note that negative numbers are unfavourable, positive numbers are favourable.)

Young Company budgets sales of $112,900,000, fixed costs of $25,000,000, and variable costs of $66,611,000. What is the contribu

quester [9]

Answer:

a. The contribution margin ratio will be 41%

b. The income from operations will be $12,420,000.

Explanation:

a. The sales are given at $112,900,000.

The fixed costs are $25,000,000.

The variable costs are $66,611,000.

The contribution margin will be

=Sales-variable costs

=$(112,900,000-66,611,000)

=$46,289,000

The contribution margin ratio will be

=(Contribution margin/sales)*100

=($46,289,000/ $112,900,000)*100

=41%

b. Now, if the contribution margin ratio is 40%.

The sales are given at $34,800,000.

The fixed costs are $1,500,000.

Income from operations or operating profit will be

=(sales*contribution margin ratio)-fixed cost

=$(34,800,000*0.4)-$1,500,000

=$12,420,000

Two basketball teams have a game Friday night. Within the first minute, they sell 8 adult tickets and 12 student tickets for a t

Sliva [168]

Answer:

the price adult ticket is $8 and the price of children tickets is $5.

Explanation:

This question can be solved using a simultaneous equation.

Let :

x = price of adult tickets

y = price of children tickets

If 8 adult tickets and 12 student tickets are sold for a total of $124, the first equation would be

8x + 12y = $124

If 16 adult tickets and 23 student tickets are sold for a total of $243, the second equation would be

16x +23y = $243

The two equations are

8x + 12y = 124

16x +23y = 243

To solve, multiply equation 1 by 2 . This gives equation 3

16x + 24y = 248

Now substract equation 3 from 2. This gives y = 5

To find y, substitute 5 with y in equation 1

8 x + 12(5) = 124

8x + 60 = 124

Solve for x

x = 8

Therefore, the price adult ticket is $8 and the price of children tickets is $5.

I hope my answer helps you
