Ber [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

The Malthus theory states that population should be controlled because there are no enough resources to please the future needs. This is how it works: in the short-run there is a change in technology that leads to an increase in income. Because people have more income, better life standards, the birth rate increases and exceeds the death rate. In the long-run total income would have to be distributed between more people than before and the economy reaches the equilibrium again, in which the birth rate equals the death rate.

In other words, econmic success becomes a reproductive success.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

$33,445.44

Explanation:

The future value of an investment is its worth at a future date if the investment is done at a specific interest rate compounded yearly for certain number of years

It is computed as follows:

FV = PV (1+r)^n

FV = Future Value, PV = present value, r- interest rate, n- number of years

Future value of $7500 after 3 years:

FV = 7500× (1.08)^3 = 9,447.84

Future Value of $9000 after 2 years:

FV = 9000 × (1.08^2) = $10,497.6

Future value of $12,500 after 1 year:

FV = 12500× 1.08 = $13,500

The future value of these cashflows at the end of year 5

= 9,447.8 + 10,497.6 + 13,500

= $33,445.44

Len [333]

Answer:

1.$4.29 per cases

2. Extra Fine $14.29

Family Style $13.29

3a. Extra Fine $4.71

Family Style $0.29

3b. What might the management conclude about the Family Style Salsa product line is that Family Style salsa are not yielding profit which may may inturn make make the company to stop the production of the product in a situation where either the cost are not reduced or where the price.

Explanation:

1. Computation for the overhead cost that is assigned to each case of Extra Fine Salsa and each case of Family Style Salsa using Plantwide overhead rate

Using this formula

Overhead cost=Total overhead cost/Total volume

Let plug in the formula

First step is to calculate the Total overhead cost

Total overhead cost = $130,800 + $349,000 +$206,000

Total overhead cost =$685,800

Second step is to calculate the Total volume

Total volume= 35,000 + 125,000 cases

Total volume=160,000 cases

Now let calculate the Overhead cost

Overhead cost=$685,800/160,000 cases

Overhead cost=$4.29 per cases (rounded)

Therefore since we are making use of plantwide rate which means that same overhead cost of the amount of $4.29 per cases will be assigned to each of the two case .

2. Calculation to determine the total cost per case for the two products

Extra Fine Family Style

Direct materials + Direct Labor $ 10.00 $ 9.00

Add Overhead $4.29 $4.29

Manufacturing cost per case $ 14.29 $ 13.39

Therefore the the total cost per case for the two products will be:

Extra Fine $14.29

Family Style $13.29

3-A Calculation to determine the gross profit per case for each product.

Extra Fine Family Style

Selling price per case $ 19.00 $ 13.00

Less Manufacturing cost per case $14.29 $13.29

Gross profit (loss) per case $ 4.71. $ (0.29 )

Therefore the gross profit per case for each product will be ;

Extra Fine $4.71

Family Style $0.29

3-b. Based on the above Calculation What might the management conclude about the Family Style Salsa product line is that Family Style salsa are not yielding profit which may may inturn make make the company to stop the production of the product in a situation where either the cost are not reduced or where the price.

valkas [14]

Answer:

he values your time

Explanation:

In this specific scenario, the executive assistant is expressing nonverbally that he values your time. This is expressed by him stopping what he was doing in order to pay attention to what you have to say to him when you enter the room. Since the work that he is doing (e-mailing clients) is incredibly important, the simple act of him stopping shows that your time is more important to him.
