Daniel is a baker who has decided to create his own brand of chain restaurants, Short and Sweet. He negotiates with three suppli

ers for weeks and ultimately signs contracts with these suppliers.

Diana runs an orchard and provides Daniel with fruit. She enters into the partnership knowing that she can dramatically increase her profits if she can sell fruit to Daniel. Lastly, Ryan, who owns a mill, decides to purchase a new piece of machinery so that he can sell Daniel flour at a lower price than his competitor.

A) Market Failure

B) A command economy

Answer:

C) The invisible hand

Explanation:

Daniel here seeking to produce and increase his welfare is "led by an invisible hand" to negotiate with his suppliers and to sell goods to his neighbors in a way that everybody is better off as a result from these transactions.

This is also a clear example to what Adam Smith was referring to the invisible hand:

"in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention. Nor is it always the worse for the society that it was not part of it. By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. " Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, Book 4, Chapter 2

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Mitigate his damages

Explanation:

By law, mitigation involves making effort to reduce losses. Now, an individual claiming damages or losses due to break in contract or a wrongful act by another individual has a duty under the law to mitigate those damages. That is to say, the plantiff is under a duty under the law to reduce the loss by taking advantage of any opportunity arising that may help.redice the losses or damages. However, in this case, the plantiff, who's the landlord Henry did not mitigate the loss by not attempting to or renting the accommodation out for the remaining six month. Thus, the damages would likely be reduced because he failed to mitigate his damages as he should have done as required under the law.

Answer:

Net income under variable costing would be $429,000.

Explanation:

Under the variable costing method the most important point to understand here is that fixed cost of the previous period ( 3000 units in this case ) would not be carried over to current period. Which means that the fixed cost and cost of goods sold be less now and the profit will increase.

NET INCOME =

SALES                                   = $ 1035,000  ( 23,000 X 45 )

(-) COST OF GOODS SOLD  = ($ 391,000) ( 23000 X 17 )

 ( We have multiplied 23,000 units by 17 because now those fixed cost of $5 are not carried forward to this period)

GROSS CONTRIBUTION MARGIN  = $1035,000 - $391,000

                                                          = $644,000

(-)VARIABLE SELLING AND ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES = ($69,000)

 ( $115,000 X 60% )

CONTRIBUTION MARGIN = $644,000 - $69,000

                                           = $575,000

(LESS) FIXED COSTS          = ($146,000)   [ $100,000 + $46,000 ]

1) MANUFACTURING COST = 20,000 X $5

                                              = $100,000

2) SELLING AND ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES = $115,000 X 40%

                                                                                = $46,000

INCOME  = $575,000 - $146,000

                = $429,000

The Mason Corporation budgeted overhead at $240,000 for the period for Department A based on a budgeted volume of 60,000 direct
IgorC [24]

Answer:

$8000

Explanation:

Given: Budgeted Overhead $240,000

          Budgeted Labor Hrs 60,000

          Actual Labor Hrs for Job B25 200

          Actual labor cost for B25 $2,200

          Direct Material cost for B25 $5000

Standard/ Budgeted overhead absorption rate = Budgeted Overheads/ Budgeted labor hours = $240,000/60,000 = $4 per labor hours

Budgeted overheads for actual 200 labor hours = 200 × $4 = $800

Labor cost and material cost incurred for Job B25 = $2200 + $5000 = $7200

Add: Budgeted overhead cost for 200 labor hours = $800

Cost of Job B25 = $7200 + $800 = $8000
