Answer:

e.  Opportunity cost

Explanation:

This is the perfect definition of opportunity cost.

Businesses mostly find themselves stuck in choosing between two different alternatives, especially when each alternative has a cost consequence. For example, as an employee I am faced with two alternatives, first, I can go on a one week holiday with my friends and chill (which would cost me $1500) but if I do so I would be loosing $200 (as my salary) daily for one week, the total of which would be $1400. If I choose to go with my friends on the holiday anyhow, the total cost of my holiday would not just be $1500 but the opportunity cost of $1400 would also be a part of my holiday cost because it's relevant and is being influenced by my decision.

So I would basically be loosing the potential benefits (salary in this case) if I choose to go on the holiday with my friends.

Alternative cost is the cost comparison of two alternatives aimed at choosing the most economically feasible option.

Sunk cost is cost that is already incurred and/or is committed to be incurred at a later date which can't be influenced by our decision.

Differential cost is the difference between the cost of two options.

The margin for safety (MOS) is described as an overall excess of current or expected revenue, expressed either in terms of currency or in units, or as a percentage of total revenues.

One of the main ways to increase the safety margin is through increasing the gross value per unit (if business conditions are favourable) and by reducing the variable cost per unit of the good. This can be accomplished by rising selling costs.

noname [10]

Answer: d. must stop payment if the bank has a reasonable time to act.

Explanation:

Dios as a bank holds money for it's customers which means that the money is still under the ownership of the customer in question to do as they see fit.

If the customer therefore instructs them to act in a certain way with that money, they will do so provided that it is legal of course.

Bok asks Dios to stop a payment related to his own money and so they must do so if they have enough/reasonable time to do so because as their customer, he is there first priority especially in relation to his own money.

A firm produces and sells two products, Plus and Max. The following information is available relating to setup costs (a part of
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Apportioned set-up cost

Plus =$21,600

Max=$43,200

Explanation:

Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers.  

<em>Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers. </em>

<em>The cost driver in this scenario is the number of set-ups</em>

Activity rate per driver is calculated as:  

Activity overhead for the period / Total cost drivers for the period

So, we can apply this formula to the scenario above:

Set-up overhead= $64,800

Total set-ups for the period = 20 + 40 = 60

Overhead cost per set-up = $64,800/60=1,080

Set-up cost allocation:

Plus - 20 × 1,080=$21,600

Max- 40 × 1,080=$43,200

Apportioned set-up cost

Plus =$21,600

Max-=$43,200
