Answer:

The answer is d. payment to hire a security worker to guard the gate to the factory around the clock.

Explanation:

Let re-visit to the concept of Fixed cost before applying to the questions.

Fixed costs are costs which are unchanged given changes in production level.

a. payment to a electric utility is not fixed cost because higher level of production required higher electricity consumption which leads to higher cost of electricity.

b. cost of raw material is not fixed cost because the higher the production level, the higher the raw material required for production.

c. wages to hire assembly line workers is not fixed cost because the higher the production level, the more workers required and the higher the wages will be.

d. payment to hire a security worker to guard the gate to the factory around the clock is fixed cost because regardless of the production level, the security worker will work for the same amount of time and receive the same level of payment as his workload is much likely to remain the same.

So, d is the correct choice.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

$23,740

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales = $103,000

Fixed expenses for the month = $36,000

Contribution margin ratio = 58%

Net operating income:

= (Contribution margin ratio × Sales) - Fixed expenses for the month

= (0.58 × $103,000) - $36,000

= $59,740 - $36,000

= $23,740

Therefore, the best estimate of the company's net operating income in a month when sales are $103,000 is $23,740.

You own 25 percent of Unique Vacations, Inc. You have decided to retire and want to sell your shares in this closely held, all-e

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

$6 million

Explanation:

If 25% of the firm is worth $1.5 million, then 100% of the firm will be worth $6 million (= $1.5 million x 4).

This is an all equity firm, which means it has no liabilities, and it is also a closely held corporation which makes it harder for a stockholder to sell his/her shares. Basically the fair value of the 1,000 shares is the money you can get from your fellow shareholders.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is D) The design of the study suffers from selection bias.

Explanation:

In research, Selection Bias occurs when the researcher decides who the respondents are or those who are being evaluated or studied.

Every research ought to be designed in such a way that the respondents are selected at random.

In the information provided, the respondents were selected from a group of people who on a balance of probability were already inclined to decline because it was a list of dissatisfied customers. The chances of them declining to respond or responding with a negative were higher than the chances of them indicating that they would buy and this defeats the purpose of the research. The research ought to have also included a sample of respondents who didn't have the product, who had enjoyed the services of the company and were content, those who didn't even know what the product did until they got the survey.

That way holistic information can be obtained from the research about how different sets of people will react and not just those who are already dissatisfied with the company's product(s).

Some of the ways to avoid selection bias in research are:

To employ the use of random techniques selecting sample sets from populations.
To check that the traits or characteristics of the larger population are well represented in the samples selected
