QUIZLET Brandon's computer shop is considering two different configuration options. The first one is to have each computer built

by a sales associate when he or she has free time. The second option is to hire a dedicated assembly technician. Option A has variable costs of $50 per computer and no fixed costs. Option B has a fixed cost of $1,000 but variable costs of only $5 per computer. What is the cross-over point?

Answer:

The cross-over point is about 22 computers.

Explanation:

Fixed cost, F = 0

Variable cost = $50

Option B

Fixed cost, F = $1,000

Variable cost, V = $5

Therefore,

Total cost = F + (n × V)

n = no of units

Option A

Total cost TC = 50n

Option B

Total cost TC = 1000 + 5n

We can calculate cross-over point by equalizing two options :

50n = 1000 + 5n

45n = 1000

n = 22.2

The cross-over point is about 22 computers.

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

a. $720,000

Explanation:

Since in the question, it is given that the equipment is sold at the list price

The list price is $800,000 and the selling percentage is 90%

So, the revenue should be recorded

= List price × selling percentage

= $800,000 × 90%

= $720,000

Simply we multiplied the list with the selling percentage so that the correct amount can come

Two towns, each with three members, are deciding whether to put on a fireworks display to celebrate the new year. fireworks cost
Burka [1]
1) Town of Bayport:
We have that the residents value the fireworks at a total of 50+100+300=450$. That is the utility they gain. But they would also have to pay 360$ for the fireworks. The total outcome is 450$+(-360$)=90$. Hence, the outcome is positive and the fireworks pass the cost benefit analysis.

If the fireworks' cost is to be split equally, we have that each of the 3 residents has to pay 360/3=120$. Let us now do the cost-benefit analysis for everyone.
Jacques stands to gain 50$ from the fireworks but would have to pay 120$. He will vote against it.
Also, Kyoko will gain 100$ but would have to pay 120$. He will lose utility/money from this so he will vote against.
Musashi on the other hand, would gain 300$ and only pay 120$. He is largely  benefitted by this measure. Only he would

We have that 2 out of the 3 would vote against the fireworks, so that the fireworks will not be bought. The vote does not yield the same answer as the benefit-cost analysis.

2) Town of River Heights:

We have that the total value of the fireworks to the community is 20+140+160=320$. The total value of the fireworks is lower than their cost so their cost benefit analysis yields that they should not be bought.

However, let's see what each resident says. The cost to each resident is 360/3=120$. Rina is against the fireworks since she will only gain 20$. Sean and Yvette are for the fireworks since they gain 140$ and 160$ respectively, which are larger than the cost of the fireworks to each of them (120$). Hence, 2 will vote for the fireworks and one will vote against and fireworks will be bought.

Again, the vote clashes with the cost-benefit analysis.

3) The first choice is wrong. It is very difficult for a government to provide the exact types of public goods that everyone wants because that would be too costly; one cannot have a public good that everyone pays for so that only a couple of people enjoy it. In our example, we saw that in every case, a public good and its production would have sime supporters and some adversaries.

Majority rule is not always the most efficient way to decide public goods; as we have seen in the second case, the cost-benefit analysis yields that the fireworks are not worth it but they are approved by the majority nonetheless.

The final sentence is correct. The differing preferences of the people make a clearcut choice impossible and the government has to take into account various tradeoffs and compromises in order to determine which public goods to provide.

Given the following financial data for Boston Technology, compute the firmâs degree of combined leverage.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

For year 2010

Degree of combined leverage is 3.82

For year 2011

Degree of combined leverage is 4.11

Explanation:

Computing the degree of combined leverage of the firm with the formula stated below as:

Degree of combined leverage = Contribution margin / EBT

where

Contribution margin is computed as:

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable Cost

EBT (Earnings Before tax) is computed as:

EBT = EBIT - Interest

Now, computing the same by applying the formula:

For year 2010

Contribution margin = $700,000 - $406,000

= $294,000

EBT = $119,000 - $42,000

= $77,000

Degree of combined leverage = $294,000 / $77,000

= 3.82

For year 2011

Contribution margin = $760,000 - $448,000

= $312,000

EBT = $122,000 - $46,000

= $76,000

Degree of combined leverage = $312,000 / $76,000

= 4.11

What are some of the shortcomings and difficulties associated with the regression model Disney made for its forecast for Frozen
Otrada [13]

Explanation:

  • Cultural- This paradigm focuses exclusively on a single region of culture. But this design is a societal restriction.
  • Forecast-This method is predicted by the theatrical population, however the residential public is still not included.
  • Such films that are released with Freezing are not taken into account by this template worldwide. But that lowers this movie's profits.
