A new company manufactures tennis rackets. The fixed expenses are $78,490 and the variable expenses are $14 per racket produced.
fomenos

The solution for the problem follows:

 

Expense = variable expenses * quantity of produced + fixed expenses

= 14q + 78,490

= 14 (3500) + 78, 490

= 49000 + 78,490

= $127, 490 is the total expense for 3,500 tennis rackets

 

Get the per piece expense by dividing 127,490 to 3500

Expense per piece = 127,490 / 3500

= $36.43

Suppose that GDP is $50 million in 2015 but falls to $48 million in 2016, and that no changes in personal consumption expenditur
Minchanka [31]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

GDP is calculated as follows:

Y = C + G + I + NX

where

C = Consumption

G = Government Expenditure

I = Investment

NX = Net Exports

It is mentioned that in 2015, GDP was 50 million and in 2016, it was 48 million without any change in the factors except NX. It means the net exports that is the difference between export and the import of the country has changed and it has fallen by 2 million.

The Casings Plant of Wyoming Machines makes plastics shells for the company’s calculators. (Each calculator requires one shell.)
aniked [119]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the targeted production of the finished product is shown below:

= Expected sales units - beginning finished goods + ending finished goods

= 160,000 - 20,000 + 5,000

= 145,000 shells

b. The required amount of plastic purchased is

Plastic to be purchased = Consumed plastic + closing inventory - opening inventory

where,

Consumed plastic is

= 145,000 × 6 ounces

= 870,000 ounces

Opening inventory is 60,000  ounces

And, the closing inventory is

= 160,000  ÷ 12 months × 2 months × 6 ounces

= 160,000

So, the purchased plastic is

= 870,000 + 160,000 - 60000

= 970,000 ounces

Death benefit proceeds from a life insurance policy are included in a decedent's gross estate in which of the following circumst
Katarina [22]

Answer:

B. 1 and 2.

Explanation:

Life insurance policy can be defined as a contract between a policyholder and an insurer, in which the insurer agrees to pay an amount of money to a specific beneficiary either upon the death of the insured person (decedent) or after a set period of time.

A decedent refers to a deceased person who is no longer able to control his or her properties (wealth).

Generally, insurance companies across the globe charge millions of their customers (insured) premiums every year. This gives them the privilege of having a pool of cash which can be used to cover the cost of losses and destruction to the asset of a small fraction or percentage of its customers.

This simply means that, since insurance companies collect premium from all of their customers for losses which may or may not occur, so they can easily use this cash to compensate or indemnify for losses incurred by those having high risk.

Death benefit proceeds from a life insurance policy are included in a decedent's gross estate in the following circumstances:

I. The decedent gave the policy to his father four years ago, but retained the right to change the name of the beneficiary.

II. The policy beneficiary is a grantor trust of the decedent but the policy is owned by a closely-held corporation.
