Answer:
The correct answer is:
Equilibrium price will decrease; the effect on quantity is ambiguous. (D)
Explanation:
First, note that if the price of coffee beans, used in the manufacture of coffee decreases, the price of coffee sold to consumers will decrease, because it takes a lesser amount in manufacturing than it used to, therefore this reduction in manufacturing costs is reflected in the selling price.
Next, it is hard to tell whether this reduction in equilibrium price will affect quantity demanded, because, at the same time, the price of cream ( a complementary good) increases, and since both goods are complementary, they are bought together, and the effect of the reduction in the price of coffee might not necessarily caused an increase in the quantity demanded because this effect is cancelled out by the increase in the price of cream, hence the effect on quantity is ambiguous.
Answer:
Sale of plant assets. If the company<u> sales an equipment it will receive cash </u>for it. We are not given with any information of this transaction not being in cash, so we should assume it was a sale in cash or cash equivalent.

Answer:
Payback = 5.25 years
Explanation:
If a project has equal annual cash-flows, the payback period can be easily calculated using the formula:

The question does not make specific reference to cash-flows from the project, but the reduction in operating costs every year resulting from the acquisition of this machine is treated as an increase in net cashflows before taxes for the company, and as such will be used as the cash-flows for capital investment analysis.
As such:

Answer:
the material quantity variance is $1,350 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the material quantity variance is given below:
Materials quantity variance is
= (Actual quantity × Standard price) - (Standard quantity × Standard price)
= (21,200 × $1.50) - [(2,900 × 7) × 1.5]
= $31,800 - $30,450
= $1,350 Unfavourable
Hence, the material quantity variance is $1,350 unfavorable
