Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Given that,

Price of​ low-quality apples = ​$1 per pound

Price of high-quality apples = $4 per pound

Marginal utility of low-quality apples = 3 utils

Marginal utility of high-quality apples = 12 utils

Equimarginal:

(Marginal utility of low quality apples ÷ Price per apple) = (Marginal utility of high quality apples ÷ Price per apples)

(3 utils ÷ $1) = (12 utils ÷ $4)

3 = 3

Yes, Timmy is maximizing his utility as his equimarginal utility is same for both the goods as shown above.

The price per share is computed as shown below:

Present value of equity is computed as follows:

= $ 10 million / 0.13

= $76,923,076.92

Now we shall divide it by the number of shares to get the price per share

Flesch corporation produces and sells two products. in the most recent month, product c90b had sales of $26,100 and variable exp
julia-pushkina [17]

Flesch Corporation produces and sells two products, in case if there is any shift in the sales from product Y45E to C90B, then the breakeven will also decrease, since the contribution margin for Product C90B is less than the Product Y45E.

Contribution Margin: Total Contribution ÷ Total Sales

Product C90B:

=(26100-9135) ÷ 26100

= 35%

Product Y45E:

= (33540-15093) ÷ 33540

= 45%

Since the contribution margin of Product C90B < Product Y45E, the breakeven will decrease.

Suppose Keyboard estimates it will use 125 comma 000 comma 000 parts per month and ship products with a total volume of 27 comma
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

a)

Kitting: $0.072 per part and Boxing: $0.764 per cubic feet

b)

Kitting: $12.6 and Boxing: $6.9

Explanation:

Given that Keyboard spends $9,000,000 per month on kitting and $21,000,000 per month on boxing.

Keyboard estimates it will use 125,000,000 parts per month and ship products with a total volume of 27,500,000 cubic feet per month.

a) Since Kitting costs based on the number of parts used in the computer:

The predetermined overhead allocation​ rate for kitting = Money spent on kitting / number of parts used per month = $9000000 / 125000000 = $0.072 per part

Since Boxing costs based on the cubic feet of space the computer required:

The predetermined overhead allocation​ rate for Boxing = Money spent on Boxing / total = $21000000 / 27500000 = $0.764 per cubic feet.

a) each desktop computer requires 175 parts and has a volume of 9 cubic feet

For kitting, Activity cost per desktop = Predetermined overhead allocation rate x  quantity per desktop = $0.072 × 175 = $12.6

For Boxing, Activity cost per desktop = Predetermined overhead allocation rate x  quantity per desktop = $0.764 × 9 = $6.9
