Use the following scenario to answer the next ten questions: Natasha can produce either 5,000 pounds of cheese or 20 houses per
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Jameson’s opportunity cost of producing one pound of cheese is 0,002 house(s).

Explanation:

Opportunity costs represent the benefits an individual, investor or business misses out on when choosing one alternative over another. Resources are limited, therefore the decision to make a quantity of product A limits the amount of producing product B.

In this exercise, Jameson has the resources to produce 5000 pounds of cheese or 10 houses per year or a combination of both.

To calculate the opportunity cost you need to determine how much of a house is 1 pound of cheese.

Opportunity cost= 10house/5000pounds= 0,002

<u>So to produce 1 pound of cheese you need 0,002 of a house.</u>

artcher [175]

Answer:

retaliation.

Explanation:

Title VII of hte Civil rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination at work based on race, color, ethnic origin, gender, religion, etc. What the company was doing was wrong, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission  (EEOC) should deal with this issue. But what they did to Hailey for complaining about the company's wrong deeds is twice as bad. The company not only keeps discriminating African American employees but also retaliates against Hailey for demanding something that is correct and legal.

Nady [450]

Answer:

The answer is: B) In Boravia when the economy is strong, those who might otherwise go camping tend to take vacations overseas.

Explanation:

Usually a sustained economic growth would lead to an increase in the sales of high quality products. Hill and Dale sell high quality expensive products, so the only thing that could hurt their sales is that people don't go camping anymore. The only option that could lead to lower demand is that Boravia's economy is doing so well that its citizens can now afford to travel to other countries instead of camping.

1. Prepare a contribution format income statement.

2. Prepare a traditional format income statement.

3. Calculate the selling price per unit.

4. Calculate the variable cost per unit.

5. Calculate the contribution margin per unit.

Answer:

First we must determine cost of goods sold = $27,000 + $270,000 - $13,500 = $283,500

now we must find total variable costs = total sales - contribution margin = $405,00 - $81,000 = $324,000

variable administrative expenses = total variable costs - COGS - variable selling expense = $324,000 - $283,500 - $20,250 = $20,250

1. Prepare a contribution format income statement.

Total sales                                                              $405,000
