Answer:
d. $29,580.
Explanation:
Note: The data in the question are merged together and they are first sorted and separated as given in the attached file before the question is answered.
Cost individually incurred by Maintenance = $25,500
Share of Payroll Department cost = $20,400 * (15/75) = $4,080
Total Maintenance Cost = $25,500 + $4,080 = $29,580.
Therefore, he total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is d. $29,580.
Answer:
Negative, since to purchase more of one good means giving up some of the other good.
Explanation:
A budget line illustrates the number of goods, consumers are able to buy with lower income. Thus the price of goods and customers income to be spent on goods determine the budget line.
The slope of the budget line measures the opportunity cost of consuming Commodity A forgetting Commodity B. In order to get more of Commodity A, the consumer will have reduce the consumption of Commodity B Forefeiting the opportunity to consume Commodity B is the true opportunity cost of Commodity A and this measured by the slope of the budget line.
The slope of the budget line shows the amount of a commodityB the consumer must forfeit to purchase one more unit of a commodity A and the slope is usually Negative.
Answer:
an increase in the working population
Explanation:
The Production possibilities frontier (PPF) is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.
The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.
The PPF can shift either inward or outward.
An outward shift is associated with an increase in output while an inward shift is associated with a reduction in output.
Factors that cause the PPF to shift
1. changes in technology. technological progress leads to outward shift of the PPF. introduction of "fiber optic" technology would shift the PPF outward.
2. changes in available resources. a land reclamation program would increase the land available for production and this would increase output. While an explosion destroying a chemical plant would reduce output and lead to an inward shift of the PPF
3. changes in the labour force. A decrease in unemployment would increase output and shift the the PPF outward
Working population is the number of people between 15-59.
Answer:
D. declaration date.
Explanation:
The dividend payment becomes legal obligation, when it has been declared by Directors and approved by shareholders in annual general meeting of the company.
The date on which the upcoming dividend payment is announced and declared by the board directors of the company is known as declaration date.
Therefore, the answer is D. declaration date.
Answer:
60 percent
Explanation:
Contribution margin refers to the revenue a firm derives after deducting the variable cost it has incurred.
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable costs
Contribution margin or contribution to sales ratio represents the percentage of contribution a firm earns from the sale of it's output.
It is represented mathematically as,
= 
Also, contribution margin ratio = 100 - variable cost ratio percentage.
Hence, contribution margin for three departments would be:
A = 100 - 30% = 70%
B = 100 - 40% = 60%
C = 100- 50% = 50%
This represents if sales revenue is 100, contribution margin earned is 70, 60 and 50 under three cases.
Since sales revenue in all three departments is the same, let us assume the sales revenue of a department as y.
Thus, weighted average contribution margin would be, 60 percent
