1 answer:
Kruka [31]4 years ago

Answer:

Devalue its currency

Explanation:

Exchange Rate is the conversion rate of domestic & foreign currency.

Eg $1 =   _ € .

Devaluation means deliberate fall in value of domestic currency in terms of foreign currency (increase in foreign exchange rate) , under fixed exchange rate by government.

Eg :  $1 =   5€ - change to -  $1 = 7€ . This implies dollar can purchase less amount of euro , and has depreciated.

However , this would also lead to reduce the cost of its exports in foreign (here European market) , because US $ has become cheaper in terms of their currency & hence so have been their goods.

Price rises from $10 to $11, and the quantity demanded falls from 100 units to 95 units. What is the price elasticity of demand
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

0.54

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price  

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demanded / average of both demands

change in quantity demanded  = 100 - 95 = 5

average of both demands = (100 + 95) / 2 = 97.5

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 5 / 97.5 = 0.051282

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $11 - $10 = 1

average of both price = ($11 + $10) / 2 = 10.5

midpoint change in price = 1 / 10.5 = 0.095238

Price elasticity of demand =  0.051282 / 0.095238 = 0.54

puteri [66]

Answer:

C. $3,400 F

Explanation:

The computation of the direct labor rate variance is shown below:

Direct Labor Rate Variance  

= (Standard rate - Actual rate) × Actual hours

= ($12 - $200,600 ÷ 17,000 labor hours) × 17,000 direct labor hours

= ($12 - $11.8) × 17,000 direct labor hours

= $3,400 favorable  

Since standard cost is more than the actual cost which leads to favorable balance

ioda

Answer:

A) $38,650; 48.31%

Explanation:

The computation of the contribution margin and the contribution margin ratio is shown below:

Contribution margin = Service Revenue - Cleaning Supplies Used - wages expense

= $80,000 - $22,000 - $19,350

= $38,650

The variable cost is Cleaning Supplies Used + wages expense

And, the contribution margin ratio equals to

= (Contribution margin ÷ sales) × 100

= ($38,650 ÷ $80,000)  × 100

= 48.31%

A new product made from recycled bio-plastics needs 25 labor hours to complete the build for the first unit. If production opera
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

166.25 hours

Explanation:

It take 25 hours if the production is going at 100% capacity, but the production is only going at 67%, therefore, 33% of the capacity is under utilized. It takes 8.25 more hours to finish the unit since the capacity is only at 67%. Finally, it takes 25+8.25 hours to finish a single product, hence taking 166.25 hours for 5 units.

We do this like this:

--> 25 ------ 100

--> X   ------ 33

--> 33*25 = 100*X

--> 825/100

--> X=8.25

Hope this clears everything. Thankyou.

Selected financial information for Thornton Company for 2019 follows: Sales $ 2,000,000 Cost of goods sold 1,400,000 Merchandise
frutty [35]

Answer:

7.80 times

Explanation:

First of all we have to calculate the average inventory

Opening inventory= 159,000

Closing inventory= 200,000

Average inventory= (opening inventory+closing inventory)/2

= ( 159,000+200,000)/2

= 359,000/2

= 179,500

The next step is to find the merchandise inventory turnover which is calculated as

= Cost of goods/ Average inventory

Cost of goods= $1,400,000

Average inventory= 179,500

= 1,400,000/179,500

= 7.799 times

= 7.80 times (to 2 decimal places)

Hence the merchandise inventory was turned over 7.80 times in 2019
