Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

In the base period a college student buys 20 gallons of gasoline at $2 per gallon, 2 CDs for $13 each, and 4 movie tickets for $7 each.

In the next month, the price of gasoline is $2.25 per gallon, CDs cost $12.50 each, and the price of a movie ticket is $7.50.

The price index

= \frac{price\ of\ basket\ in\ the\ current\ year}{price\ of\ basket\ in\ the\ base\ year}\ \times\ 100

= \frac{100}{94}\ \times\ 100

= 106.38 or 106.4

Dozier Company produced and sold 1,000 units during its first month of operations. It reported the following costs and expenses
Airida [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hi, I have attached the full question as images below

Total Product Cost = ($70,000 + $35,500 + $43,700) ÷ 1,000 = $149.20

Total Period Cost = $30,600 + $29,300 = $59,900

Total Direct Manufacturing Cost = $70,000 + $35,500 + $15,400 = $120,900

Total Indirect Manufacturing Cost = $28,300

Total Manufacturing Cost  = $70,000 + $35,500 + $43,700 = $149,200

Total Non Manufacturing Cost = $30,600 + $29,300 = $59,900

Total Conversion Cost = $35,500 + $43,700 = $79,200

Total Prime Cost = $70,000 + $35,500 = $105,500

Total Variable Manufacturing Cost = $70,000 + $35,500 + $15,400 = $120,000

Total Fixed Costs = $25,200 + $18,400 + $28,300 = $71,900

Variable Cost per unit = ($70,000 + $35,500 + $15,400 + $12,200 + $4,100) ÷ 1000 = $137.20

Incremental manufacturing cost = ($70,000 + $35,500 + $15,400) ÷ 1,000 = $120.90

Why do many business owners avoid market research? Question options: They're afraid of hearing any negative feedback. They don't
rosijanka [135]

In most cases, the business owners are <u>unwilling to take the time</u>. Market research is incredible important when running a business, and by not doing it, you are going into a market that you have no idea about. This can hurt the business in the short-term because they won't know which demographics to serve, how the location they're in contributes to their sales, what products or services are popular, and if there is a lot of competition in their market. All these can have negative impacts on the business and it's why market research is so important!

It can also be because <u>they don't know how to do it</u>. Most business owners don't really know how to research demographics and competition, so they tend not to do it, or hire others who how to do it.
