Answer:

(i) 5,250 units

(ii) above 5,250 units

(iii) below 5250 units ; 0 and 5249 units

Explanation:

Given ,

Machine A

Fixed cost = $78,000

Variable cost = $14

Capacity = 16,000 units

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost × no. of units

Total cost = $78,000 + 14Q

Machine B

Fixed cost = $57,000

Variable cost = $18

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost × no of units

Total cost = $57,000 + 18 Q

a) Cross over point is the point where total cost is equal

Cross over point = Q

$78,000 + 14 Q = $57,000 + 18 Q                    

78,000 – 57,000 = 4Q

21000 = 4Q

Q = 5250 units

Crossover point for the two machines is 5,250 units

b) Machine A is preferable above 5,250 units

Machine A is preferable at a level of production above 5,251 units

c) Machine B is preferable below 5250 units

Machine B is preferable at a level of production 0 and 5249 units

Inflation: group of answer choices is a continuous decrease in the price level. can obscure relative price changes. always makes
eimsori [14]

The Correct Response is Option B.

Inflation: can obscure relative price changes.

  • In the field of economics, inflation refers to an overall rise in the cost of goods and services throughout a nation. Each unit of currency may purchase fewer products and services as the overall price level rises, hence inflation is associated with a decline in the buying power of money.
<h3><u>What occurs when inflation occurs?</u></h3>
  • The main cost of inflation is the loss of real income, which occurs when prices rise unevenly and causes some customers' buying power to decline. For both those who receive and pay fixed interest rates, inflation might over time affect their ability to make purchases.

Reil [10]

Note:

I wasn't able to access the Chester Income Statement but I successfully accessed a similar question Digby.

The Complete Question is as under:

Refer to the HR Reports in the Inquirer. Through past investments in recruiting and training Digby has obtained a productivity index of 109.6%. This means that Digby's labor costs would be increased by 9.6% if it did not have these productivity improvements. This is a competitive advantage that Digby can sustain or even widen further if its competitors have no HR initiatives. Now, refer to the Income Statement in Digby's Annual Report. How much did Digby's productivity improvements save it in direct labor costs (in thousands) last year?

A. $766

B. $29818

C. $3137

D. $3211

Answer:

Option D. $3,137

Explanation:

The Productivity Index of 9.6% shows that if the improvement plan is implemented then the efficiency gains would result in saving of 9.6% of total direct cost. So if we total the direct cost for the year for all of the four products then we have an amount of $32,680 which is given at the second last column.

The amount saved last year would be:

Savings = $32,680 * 9.6% = $3,137

Hence the option C is correct here.

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

$23,520

Explanation:

The computation of book value of the machine is shown below:-

Machine cost                           $28,000

Less: Depreciation                    $4,200

($28,000 - $2,800) ÷ 6

Book Value at beginning

of Year 2                                    $23,800

Add: Improvements                   $7,000

Total                                             $54,600

Less: Accumulated

Depreciation for 3 years            $31,080

($54,600 - $2,800) × 3 ÷ 5 years

Book Value Dec 31, Year 4         $23,520
