Answer:

CANE COMPANY

a. total amount of traceable fixed manufacturing overhead

Alpha  =  $19*105,000   = $1,995,000

Beta  = $21*105,000   =   $2,205,000

b.  Company's total amount of common fixed expenses =

Aplha  = $18*105,000 =     $1,890,000

Beta   = $13* 105,000 =     $1,365,000

Total                           =    $3,255,000

c.  Increase in profit as result of accepting the offer = additional contribution * additional unit sold

                        = $14*13,000

                            = $182,000

additional contribution =$92 - (30 + 23 + 10 + 15)

d.  Decrease in profit = loss of contribution * unit sold

                                     = -13 *4000

                                     = ($52,000)

   loss of contribution  =  42 -( 18+ 16 +8+13)

topjm [15]

Answer:

It would sell for 761.49 dollars

Explanation:

Generally, stock prices are determined on stock market based on supply and demand mechanism. However, according to the discount dividend model present value of stock could be calculated as dividend per share/(cost of capital equity-growth rate). Growth rate between year 1 and 2 is 3-4/4 equals to -0.25%. From year 2 until year 3 it is 46-3/3 equals to 14.33%. Now we can take arithmetic average of these two and we get 7.04%( 14.33-0.25/2). Finally share could sell today for 46+3+4/(14-7.04%) equals to 761.49 dollars

Molodets [167]

Answer:

the marginal cost curve is upward sloping.

Explanation:

Utility can be defined as any satisfaction or benefits a customer derives from the use of a product or service.

This ultimately implies that, any satisfaction or benefits a customer derives from the use of a product or service is generally referred to as a utility.

Basically, the marginal utility of goods and services is the additional satisfaction that a consumer derives from consuming or buying an additional unit of a good or service.

For example, buying a candy stick and eating it may satisfy your cravings but eating another one (an additional or extra unit) wouldn't give you as much satisfaction as the first due to diminishing marginal utility.

In Economics, the law of diminishing marginal utility states that as the unit of a good or service consumed by an individual increases, the additional satisfaction he or she derives from consuming additional units would start decreasing or diminishing as the units of good or service consumed increases.

Marginal cost can be defined as the additional or extra cost that is being incurred by a company as a result of the production of an additional unit of a product or service.

Generally, marginal cost can be calculated by dividing the change in production costs by the change in level of output or quantity. A marginal cost curve is upward sloping because of the law of diminishing returns.

Able Trucking Corporation files a suit in a state court against Bob’s Service Company (BSC), and wins. BSC appeals the court’s d
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

An appellate court will reverse a lower court’s decision on the basis of the facts only

when the finding is clearly erroneous (that is, when it is contrary to the evidence

presented at trial) or when there is no evidence to support the finding. Appellate courts

normally defer to a trial court’s decision with regard to the facts of a case, however, for

several reasons. First, trial court judges and juries have the opportunity to observe

witnesses and tangible evidence first hand. The appellate court sees only a cold record of

the trial court proceedings and therefore cannot make the kind of judgments about the

credibility of witnesses and the persuasiveness of evidence that can be gleaned only from

firsthand experience. Second, as occurs when there is no jury and the case is heard by a

judge, trial judges routinely sit as fact finders. As a result, they develop a particular

expertise in determining what kind of evidence and testimony is reliable and what kind is not
