Answer:

Opportunity

Explanation:

In the SWOT analysis, external events are classified as either Opportunities or Threats, while internal events are classified as either Strenghts or Weaknesses.

In this case, we find that Blockchain is a technology that is external to IBM, and that IBM has the technological capita, and know-how, to enter this market and develop its own version of Blockchain. For this reason, the growth of Blockchain technology represents an opportunity for IBM.

Walters Corporation sells radios for $50 per unit. The fixed costs are $525,000 and the variable costs are 60% of the selling pr
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

b. 26,000 units

Explanation:

We will calculate break even point as;

Break even point = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin per unit

Where,

Fixed costs = $525,000 + $125,000 = $650,000

Also, Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

Selling price per unit = $50

Variable expense per unit

= 50% × $50

= $25

Contribution margin per unit

= $50 - $25

= $25

Therefore, the break even point in units

= $650,000 ÷ $25

= 26,000 units

In a production budget, if the number of units in finished goods inventory at the end of the period is less than the number of u
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: False

Explanation:

In a production budget, when the number of units in finished goods inventory at the end of the period is less than the number of units in the finished goods inventory at the beginning of the period, this simply means that the expected number of units sold is higher than the number of units that was produced for that particular period.

Fro example, let's assume that the beginning inventory is 20,000 and the units of goods produced is 25,000 while the units sold is 27,000. Then, the ending units will be:

= 20,000 + 25,000 - 27,000

= 18,000

As we can see from the example, the number of units in the finished goods inventory at the end of the period(18,000) is less than the number of units in the finished goods inventory at the beginning of the period(20,000), the expected number of units sold(27,000) is more or higher than the number of units to be produced(25,000) during the period.

(1 point) Why does the journalist think Enron's stock is overvalued?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I provided some explanation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Note, in the stock/asset trading market, the term <em>'stock/asset is overvalued' </em>is used when the worth of a particular asset or stock is overestimated; in other words having a stock price that is too high considering the projects/company's usefulness.

Hence, the journalist's comments may have been based on this observation.

Andre45 [30]

Answer: (B) on the downward-sloping portion of its long-run average total cost curve.

Explanation:

The downward-sloping portion of a company's Long Run Average Total Cost(LRATC) curve is the part where increasing returns to scale is witnessed.

This is because the costs that are incurred by the company leads to higher proportional output thereby reducing the average cost and pulling the LRATC down.

In this scenario, the inputs doubled and the firm's level of production more than doubled which means that with outputs increasing more than costs, the Average cost is reducing and the slope is downward sloping.
