Answer:

b. changes in the same direction and in direct proportion to changes in operation activity.

Explanation:

Variable costs are expenses that vary with changes in production level. A variable cost is attached to the production of a particular product or service. An example of variable cost is the raw material expense. As the production level rises, more raw materials will be needed for production.    

The relationship between variable costs and output level is direct and proportional. An increase in output requires more materials and other consumables. As variable costs are associated with the production process, an increase or decrease in production level results in a similar or increase or decrease in variable costs.

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Population rises from 40 million to 44 million

Country's Real GDP rises from $825 billion to $890 billion during this same period.

Therefore,

This country experiencing a absolute economic growth because of the rise in real GDP.

Initial per capita growth:

= Initial Real GDP ÷ Initial Population

= $825 ÷ 40 million

= $20.625

New per capita growth:

= Increased Real GDP ÷ New Population

= $890 ÷ 44 million

= $20.227

Above calculations clearly shows that there is a decline in the per capita growth.

Hence, there is an absolute economic growth but not per-capita real.

Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $69,200 and $13,950 respectively. In addition to their salaries,
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a)  

Gross income = Marc salary + Michelle salary + corporate bond interest = $69200 + $13950 + $1150 = $84300

AGI deductions = contribution + alimony = $3150 + $2150 = $5300

Adjusted gross income = Gross income - AGI deductions = $84300 - $5300 =$79000

Let us assume married filing jointly = $24000

Itemized deductions  = $7300

Greater of married filing jointly and Itemized deductions = married filing jointly = $24000

personal and dependency exemptions = $4050 per person

Therefore personal and dependency exemptions for Marc, Michelle and their child = 3 * $4050  = $12150

total amount of Marc and Michelle's deductions from AGI = Greater of married filing jointly and Itemized deductions + personal and dependency exemptions = $24000 + $12150 = $36150

b) Adjusted gross income = Gross income - AGI deductions = $84300 - $5300 =$79000

Corporation includes $200,000 of $1 par common stock and $400,000 par of 6% cumulative preferred stock. The board of directors o
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The amount of dividends paid to common stockholders in 2021 $18000.

Explanation:

The cumulative preferred stock is the stock that accumulates dividends when the dividends are partially or not paid at all in a certain year. The dividends must be paid in the future.

The common stock holders are paid after the preferred stockholders are paid.

The preferred stock dividend per year = 400000 * 0.06 = $24000 per year

As the cash dividends paid in 2019 and 2020 are $20000 each,

The dividend outstanding on preferred stocks for 2019 is = 24000 - 20000 = $4000

Similarly, the dividends outstanding on preferred stocks for 2020 is = 24000 - 20000 = $4000

The total dividends outstanding at start of 2021 = 4000 + 4000 = $8000

Preferred dividend for 2021 = 24000

Total dividend on preferred stock = 24000 + 8000 = $32000

The amount of dividends that common stock holders will receive in 2021 = 50000 - 32000 = $18000

Three contractors (call them a, b, and
patriot [66]

Answer:  The probabilities of winning a contract are

P(A) = \frac{28}{36}  

P(B) = \frac{7}{36}  

P(C) = \frac{1}{36}


Let the Probability of C winning the contract - P(C) be 'X'

Then,

Probability of B winning the contract - P(B) will be '7X'     and

Probability of A winning the contract - P(A) will be \mathbf{P(A) = 4 * P(B) = 4*7X = 28X}

Since the total of all the probabilities is 1,

\mathbf{P(A) + P(B) + P(C) =1}

\mathbf{28X + 7X + X =1}

\mathbf{36X =1}

\mathbf{X =\frac{1}{36}}

So,

P(A) = \frac{28}{36}

P(B) = \frac{7}{36}

P(C) = \frac{1}{36}
