Answer:

B. New applications for unemployment insurance

D. Stock prices

Explanation:

Unemployment benefits claims is one of the most powerful leading economic indicators, because it can predict, with a high degree of accuracy, the unemployment rate of the next economic periods.

Stock prices are also included in the index of leading economic indicators, more specifically, the Stock Prices of the S&P 500. Stock prices are a leading indicator because investors try to carefully invest in those companies they feel will have a good performance in both the short-term and the long-term.

2) A firm sells two products. Product R sells for $20; its variable cost is $6. Product S sells for $50; its variable cost is $3

Tom [10]

Answer:

$6896551.7

Explanation:

Given the following :

Product R:

Selling price = $20

Variable cost = $6

Product S:

Selling price = $50

Variable cost = $30

Firm's fixed cost = $4, 000,000

Break-even point dollars = (Fixed cost /Contribution margin ratio)

Contribution margin : selling price - variable cost

Product R: $(20 - 6) = $14

Contribution margin ratio = ($14/$20) * 60% = 0.42

Product S: $(50 - 30) = $20

Contribution margin ratio = ($20/$50) * 40% = 0.16

Sum of contribution margin ratio for both products = (0.42 + 0.16) = 0.58

Break-even point dollars = (Fixed cost /sum of Contribution margin ratio)

= $4,000,000/0.58

= $6896551.7

Explanation:

Work in process, April 30 = Balance + Direct material + Direct labor + Factory overhead - Cost of finished goods

= $4,000 + 24,000 + 16,000 + 12,800 - 48,000

= $8,800

Job No 5 = Work in process, April 30 = $8,800

$8,800 = Direct material + $2,000 + $1,600 ($2,000 * 80%)

Direct material = $8,800 - $2,000 - $1,600

= $5,200

Therefore, The amount of direct materials charged to Job No. 5 is $5,200.
