Explain the type of data the following scenario describes.

Break-Even for a Service Firm Jonah Graham owns and operates The Green Thumb Company (GTC), which provides live plants and flowe

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The company should provide, in average, 90 jobs per month in order to break even.

Explanation:

We will assume that the variable costs are proportional to the quantity and thus VC=a*Q

the profit obtained is

profit = P*Q , (Price [$/job] * Jobs sold [jobs])

and the total costs are

total costs= FC+VC = FC + a*Q , FC=fixed costs

in order to break even the quantity sold should be enough to cover all costs, therefore

profit = total costs

P*Q = FC + a*Q → Q= FC/(P-a)

thus

Q= FC/(P-a) = $3240 / ($60/job - $24/job) = 90 jobs

An increase in the costs of resources or inputs of production would shift the ________.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

C. short-run aggregate supply curve leftward

Explanation:

When the cost of production or inputs of production increase the short run supply curve shifts left because the producers are now willing to sell less at the same price because it is more expensive for them to produce, so at every price the production decreases because of which the supply curve shifts left. The long run supply curve isn't affected by an increase in costs of resources because it is the potential of the economy and an increase in costs of does not change the potential of the economy.

8. The TS Company has budgeted sales for the year as follows: Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Quarter 3 Quarter 4 Sales in units 10,000 12,0

Finger [1]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to determine the production budget using the following formula:</u>

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Quarter 1:

Production= 10,000 + (0.25*12,000) - 2,500

Production= 10,500

Quarter 2:

Production= 12,000 + (0.25*14,000) - 3,000

Production= 12,500

Quarter 3:

Production= 14,000 + (0.25*16,000) - 3,500

Production= 14,500

Quarter 4:

Production= 16,000 - 4,000

Production= 12,000

<u>Now, the direct material purchase budget:</u>

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Quarter 1:

Purchase= 10,500*4 + (12,500*0.1) - 4,200

Purchase= 39,050 pounds

Quarter 2:

Purchase= 12,500*4 + (14,500*0.1) - 1,250

Purchase= 50,200 pounds

Quarter 3:

Purchase= 14,500*4 + (12,000*0.1) - 1,450

Purchase= 57,750 pounds

Quarter 4:

Purchase= 12,000*4 - 1,200

Purchase= 46,800 pounds

An agreement between Jim and his 18-year-old daughter, Betty, provides that he will give her $25,000 if she does not marry until

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

No, Jim is not correct.

Explanation:

Betty will win this case.

Generally, the law encourages marriage as its policy. If there is any contract that prevent or restrict marriage in whatever way, such contract would be considered null and void because it is against the public policy.

Despite the above, contracts will be generally considered valid when they place reasonable restrictions on marriage. In this question, the restriction placed on Betty that she should get married until after her 22nd birthday is reasonable and has to be considered to be valid. Based on this, Betty has to be paid the $25,000 as laid down in the binding contract between the two parties.

Therefore, Jim is not correct.
