For the coming year, River Company estimates fixed costs at $109,000, the unit variable cost at $21, and the unit selling price
zzz [600]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $109,000

Unit variable cost= $21

Selling price= $85.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 109,000/ (85 - 21)

Break-even point in units= 1,703 units

Now, we need to include the desired profit:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (109,000 + 150,000) / 64

Break-even point in units= 4047 units

Sales= 500,000

Variable cost= 5,882*21= (123,522)

Contribution margin= 376,478

Fixed costs= (109,000)

Net operating income= $267,478

Financial statement data for years ending December 31, 2019 and 2018, for Edison Company follow: 2019 2018 Sales $513,500 $480,0
madam [21]

Answer:

The answer is

For 2018 - 1.5

For 2019 - 1.3

Explanation:

Asset turnover ratio=Net sales/average total assets

For 2018:

Sales - $480,000

Beginning asset - 360,000

Ending asset -360,000

Average total asset:

($280,000 + $360,000)/2

=$320,000

Therefore, asset turnover for 2018 is:

$480,000/$320,000

=1.5

For 2019:

Sales - $513,500

Beginning asset - $360,000

Ending asset - $430,000

Average total asset:

($360,000 + $430,000)/2

=$395,000

Therefore, asset turnover for 2019 is:

$513,500/$395,000

=1.3

Assume the probability of a pessimistic, most likely and optimistic state of nature is .25, .45 and .30, and the returns associa
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

E) none of the above

12.70% and 2.49% standard deviation

Explanation:

We multiply probability by the outcome to get the weighted amount, we add them and get the expected return.

probability outcome weighted

0.25          0.10   0.0250

0.45          0.12   0.0540

0.30          0.16   0.0480

expected return  0.1270

Now that we got the expected return at 12.7%

We now subtract the possible outcome with the expected return and square them:

(0.127-0.1)^2

(0.127-0.12)^2

(0.127-0.16)^2

Then we add them and divide by the sample which is 3

0.000622  

²√ 0.000622   = 0.024944383

<u><em>Final step,</em></u> will be the square root which gives the standard deviation

of 2.49% = 0.024947

  3. Alternatives to disposable straws do not need fossil fuels to be recycled.

Therefore, the options B, C and D hold true.

<h3>What is the significance of potential costs?</h3>

The question seems to be incomplete. It has been added below for better reference.

14. In 2018, cities including Seattle and San Francisco passed laws banning the use of plastic disposable straws because they are harmful to the environment (because plastic does not easily biodegrade) and to marine life (which ingest straws that end up in the ocean). Opponents point out that such bans may result in unintended monetary cost as well as external cost.

Which of the following describes potential costs that may arise as a result of these new laws? Select all that apply.

A. Alternatives to plastic straws cost at least 10 times more than the current price of plastic straws.

b. Straws made of alternative materials lack the flexibility of plastic straws. This makes it harder for people with disabilities, seniors, and children to use them.

C. Compostable straws are an alternative to disposable straws. For compostable straws to break down properly they need to be disposed of in a special commercial composter, an infrastructure that needs to be created.

D. Alternatives to disposable straws do not need fossil fuels to be recycled.
