Answer:
a) true
Explanation:
2/10 net 30 means that if the costumer pays within 10 days, he will be offered 2% discount, otherwise the amount is due in 30 days in full.
DSO means average number of days the company takes to receive payment from customers of credit sales.
Since the DSO of a firm given is 28 days, which is lower than the 30 days credit period normally offered by the company, therefore it may indicate that the firm's credit department is operating effectively.
Hence, answer is a) true
A country with an absolute advantage over another country achieves this if their production costs are lower.
Absolute advantage means a company or individual out perform another more efficiently. In this case, if two companies are making a product and one selling them for the same price, but one company can make the product for cheaper, they have an absolute advantage.
A seller's willingness to accept is the same as his marginal cost of production.
Marginal cost is the increase or decrease in cost of production if the output is increased. The marginal cost of production is the change in the total cost of the product from producing one addition item.
Answer:
MC = 750
Explanation:
Below is the given values:
Initial quantity = 8
Final quantity = 10
Initial total cost = $9500
Final total cost = $11000
Marginal cost = Change in total cost / Change in quantity
Change in total cost = 11000 - 9500 = 1500
Change in quantity = 10 - 8 = 2
Marginal cost = Change in total cost / Change in quantity
MC = 1500 / 2
MC = 750
Answer:
c. Purchase cost of existing machine
Explanation:
Relevant costs are the incremental costs that can be avoided by avoiding the functional activity with which the costs are associated.
Maintenance costs are relevant as they are directly linked to the use of machinery and as such are incremental with the use. The same is the case with the maintenance costs of the existing machine as they are avoidable if the new machine is purchased.
Expected cost savings would be incremental with the improved new machine. These cost savings thus are relevant.
Resale value of existing machine are also relevant as these would contribute towards the purchase of new machine.
The purchase price of existing machine is irrelevant as the machine cost has already been paid and regardless of purchasing the new machine or not, this cost is not a part of any calculations.
Hope that helps.
