Answer:

Deluxe= $4.25 per book

Moderate= $4.25 per book

Economy= $4.25 per book

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Activity (Cost) Cost Driver Delux Moderate Economy

Machine maintenance ($330,000) machine hours 250 750 1,000

Setups ($630,000)

Packing ($166,000)

Photo development ($574,000)

First, we need to calculate the total overhead cost:

Total overhead= 330,000 + 630,000 + 166,000 + 574,000= 1,700,000

Now, we can calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate to allocate overhead to each book type.

The allocation base is machine-hours.

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 1,700,000/ 2,000= $850 per machine hour.

Now, we can allocate overhead to each book:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Deluxe= $850*250hours= $212,500

Moderate= $850*750hours= $637,500

Economy= $850*1,000= $850,000

Based on the number of units, we can calculate the unitary overhead:

Deluxe= $212,500/50,000= $4.25 per book

Moderate= $637,500/150,000= $4.25 per book

Economy= $850,000/200,000= $4.25 per book

Answer:

d. The price will decrease, because dry beans and rice are inferior goods.

Explanation:

the options are missing, so I looked them up:

a. The price will decrease, because dry beans and rice are normal goods.

b. The price will increase, because dry beans and rice are normal goods.

c. The price will increase, because dry beans and rice are inferior goods.

d. The price will decrease, because dry beans and rice are inferior goods.

Inferior goods are those goods whose quantity demanded decreases as consumer income increases. This happens because inferior goods have several substitute products that cost more, but as consumer income increases, consumers will tend to purchase the more expensive substitute goods instead of the cheaper inferior ones. I.e. as consumer income increases, they will seek to purchase higher quality goods, and inferior goods are generally low quality goods that are mostly purchased by people located at the lower socio-economic classes. Other examples of inferior goods are canned meat, instant noodles and cheap frozen foods.

Since the quantity demanded of inferior goods decreases as the economy improves, the demand curve shifts to the left, which will result in a lower equilibrium price.

Which theory would most likely explain why a commercial bank, which usually focuses on short-term securities, would switch to lo
den301095 [7]

Answer:

preferred habitat

Explanation:

According to the preferred habitat theory, if the expected returns from investment of a particular investment maturity is large enough, investors would shift from their preferred maturities.

In this question, there is a shift from the preferred maturity (short-term securities) to a long-term securities when interest rate changes

The pure expectations theory assumes that bonds of any maturity are perfect substitutes for each other. For example, if an investor buys a 10 year bond and holds it for 1 year, the return is the same as buying a 1 year bond. The theory also assumes that risk premium does not exist and a security only earns its risk free rate

Liquidity premium theory states that risk premium increases with the maturity of a bond. The theory predicts that the yield curve is upward sloping due to liquidity premium

According to the segmented market theory, each bond maturity segment can be thought of as a segment market in which yield are a function of the demand and supply for funds in that maturity.

masya89 [10]

Answer:

Marginal utility is the benefit of consuming additional unit of a product and it is inversely proportional to price.

Explanation:

Utility is the satisfaction derived from consuming a particular product.

As consumption continues, marginal utility is the benefit of consuming additional units of the product. Marginal utility reduces as consumption increases.

So the consumer is less willing to buy at current price. However the consumer will be more willing to buy more at a reduced price.

The campus bookstore is using the knowledge of this by selling the first mu for $10 and subsequent one for $6. The consumer will still be willing to buy at the reduced price.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": use the indirect strategy.

Explanation:

While giving messages there are two main approaches: <em>the direct </em>and <em>indirect strategy</em>. The direct strategy is used when the main idea of the message is given at the beginning of the speechy to impact or shock the audience. Details of the idea are provided subsequently. The indirect strategy, instead, starts by providing the details to the audience to finally come up with a conclusion.

Thus, <em>while providing refusals, it is more appropriate to use the indirect strategy so customers will know the reason for the non-approval to confirm the negative news at the end.</em>

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

C : accept the offer because it will produce net income of $12,600.

Explanation:

In this question we have to compare the cost which is presented below:

In the first case

The variable cost would be

= Number of units buys × variable cost per unit

= 4,200 units × $67

= $281,400

And, the selling cost would be

= Number of units sold × selling price per unit

= 4,200 units × $70

= $294,000

So, the difference would be

= $294,000 - $281,400

= $12,600
