Answer:

A) Charge a price that is greater than marginal cost to maximize profits.

Explanation:

The more market power a company has, the more it will tend to act like a monopoly. For example, Microsoft is not considered a monopoly because it is the only software company in the world, but because its market power in the PC business is so large that it dominates the industry.

Assuming an acid-test ratio of 1.0, how will the purchase of inventory with cash affect the ratio?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

C) Decrease the acid-test ratio

Explanation:

The quick ratio is also called acid test ratio. It is a liquidity ratio that measures level of liquid assets of a business.

That is the amount of cash or near cash assets it has to settle it's current debt.

Mathematically

Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventory) ÷ Current liabilities

If cash (current asset) is used to buy Inventory. Cash will reduce and inventory will increase.

The value of (Current asset - Inventory) reduces.

As the numerator in the ratio reduces, the quick ratio also reduces.

rabapples, Inc. purchases and sells boxes of dried fruit. The following information summarizes its operating activities for the​
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

$40.875

Explanation:

Given that,

Selling Expenses = $ 9,600

Merchandise Inventory on December 31 = 33,000

Merchandise Inventory on January 1 = 47,000

Purchases of merchandise = 83,500

Rent for store = 12,100

Sales commissions = 7,300

Sales revenue = 168,500

Cost of goods sold:

= Beginning merchandise inventory + Merchandise purchase - Ending merchandise inventory

= $47,000 + $83,500 + $33,000

= $163,500

If Crabapples sold 4,000 boxes of dry fruit during the​ year, then the cost per box of dry fruits is:

= Cost of goods sold ÷ Number of boxes sold

= $163,500 ÷ 4,000

= $40.875

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

2040.

Explanation:

To reach the total manufacturing cost we need to calculate machining and assembling overhead rate first, in order to calculate the rate we need to divide manufacturing overhead cost on number of hours

Machining OH rate = 280000 / 50000 = 5.60  

Assembling OH rate = 360000/40000 = 9.00

 

manufacturing cost:    

                    machine Assembly Total  

Material  425                175             600  

labor               275                300             575  

Overhead                                                 865  

(50*5.60)       280

(65*9)             585            

Total cost                                               2040
