Answer:

Check the following calculations

Explanation:

1.  Received an order for 1,000 units

Cost per unit = $46

now

Incremental revenue per widget = $43

Incremental cost per widget: =( Direct material + Direct Labor + Vairable manufacturing overhead) =

$7 + ($15 × 2) + $4 = 41

Incremental profit per unit = 43 - 41 = $2

Total incremental profit = $2 × 1,000 = $2,000

Kasten can make an extra $2,000

2.  Cost to buy per widget = $39

Cost to make per widget: = ( Direct material + Direct Labor + Vairable manufacturing overhead) =

$7 + ($15 × 2) + $4 = 41

Incremental savings per widget if purchased =41 - 39 = $2

Total incremental savings if purchased = $2 × 10,000 = $20,000

Thus we can say  Kasten will save $20,000 if it buys instead of makes

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Monthly deposit=  $840.74

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of periods= 26*12= 312 months

Future Value= $1,500,000

Interste rate= 0.11/12= 0.0092

<u>To calculate the monthly deposit, we need to use the following formula:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (1,500,000*0.0092) / [(1.0092^312) - 1]

A= $840.74

When the elasticity of demand for a product is __________ the elasticity of supply, consumers pay __________ of the tax on the p
mezya [45]

When the elasticity of demand for a product is smaller than the elasticity of supply, consumers pay majority of the tax on the product.

The way the tax burden is distributed between purchasers and sellers is known as the tax incidence.

The relative price elasticity of supply and demand determines the tax incidence.

Usually, both the producers and the consumers of the taxed goods bear the incidence, or burden, of the tax.

But all we have to do is look at the elasticity of demand and supply to determine which group will be carrying the bulk of the load.

The majority of the tax burden falls on consumers when supply is more elastic than demand.

The majority of the tax burden falls on the producers when demand is more elastic than supply.

The less elastic the demand and supply are, the higher the tax revenue.

Hence, When the elasticity of demand for a product is smaller than the elasticity of supply, consumers pay majority of the tax on the product.

erastova [34]
<span>The amount of interest expense recognized by Congo Express Airways would be $199,334 after one year of being issued. This is calculated by finding 6% of the $3,700,000 which is $222,000. Then subtracting the amortized amount of $22,666 per annum, which was found by doubling the 6 month rate of $11,333. This gives you a total of $199,334.</span>
