Answer:

b. direct materials cost

Explanation: The cost of production of a product is determined by the sum of different factors needed for the production, these factors include direct and indirect labor force cost, amortized costs of the machinery and supplies. the depreciation of the machinery on factory equipment depends on the lifetime of the machinery, not in the daily use of the same equipment. in that case, it does not vary according to the units produced.

The property taxes on factory buildings are applied to the total properties belonged by the company, it is not affected by the production levels.

The salary of a production supervisor is a constant cost that does not change per the production level, in this specific case, the supervisor is nor being paid per unit, so the payment will be the same every month.

In the case of direct materials cost, as the company is producing more products it is necessary to increase the supplies used for the specific product, as an example if you want to produce 20 dolls you will need 20 toy heads, but if you want to produce 50 dolls you will need 50 toy heads; in this case the cost of the materials varies according to the units that the company wants to produce

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Deposited amount will decrease by 1% and $2,000

Explanation:

Inflation rate will effect the value of money due to decrease in purchasing power of the currency holder.

We will use following formula to calculate the impact

Nominal rate = Real interest rate + Inflation rate

5% = Real interest rate + 6%

Real interest rate = 5% - 6% = -1%

The deposited amount will be decreased by 1%.

Deposit value = $200,000 x ( 1 - 1% ) = $198,000

Decrease in value = $200,000 - $198,000 = $2,000

laila [671]

Answer:

The couple must save $ 6,598 each year

Explanation:

Calculating the payment amount:

Cost per year = $25,000 per each child

Cost for 4 years = $25,000 × 4 = $100,000

For the oldest child, the college will begin in 16 years and the second child the college will begin in 18 years.

Calculating the amount to be deposited each year for the oldest child.

Using Microsoft Excel PMT function  

Rate = 8%

N = 16

PV = 0

FV = -100000

= $3,298

Therefore, they must deposit $3,298 each year for their oldest child.

Calculating the amount to be deposited each year for the second child:

Using Microsoft Excel PMT function  

Rate = 8%

N = 18

PV = 0

FV = -100000

= $2,670

Therefore, they must deposit $2,670 each year for their second child.

Total sum to be saved per year = $3,298 + $2,670 = $6,598

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Piazza should sue DGA Corporation because he (or she?) was struck by a company vehicle and the driver was acting within the scope of his normal employment tasks. Piazza might also sue Delaney along with DGA, since DGA is a small corporation and as a corporation is considered a separate legal entity whose shareholder equity might be really low.  

Piazza can sue for compensatory damages including pain and suffering, medical bills and lost wages.
