Answer:

b. 16% defectives

Explanation:

Let the number of units shipped be N

Let the defect rate be y%

Cost of replacing defectives once shipped = (y/100)×N× 2.5  ........equation (1)

Cost of 100% inspection = N × 0.4 .........equation (2)

At the indifference point, both costs, that is the replacement cost and inspection cost are equal. Therefore, we make both equations (1) and (2) equal.

N × 0.4 = (y/100)×N× 2.5

100 × 0.4 = y ×2.5

y = 40/2.5 = 16

She is indifferent at 16% defectives

Giving the following formula:

The standard price per pound is $2.00.

Direct material price variance= $12,500 unfavorable

You are attending college in the fall and you need to purchase a computer. You must finance the purchase because your parents wi
rodikova [14]

The correct answer is installment credit. The explanation is below.

Installment credit allows you to purchase an item and then pay for it in installments. The reason that this would be the best option for you is that you do not have the money now to make the purchase, but you are able to make smaller monthly payments in order to purchase a computer.

Installment credit is better than revolving credit for new borrowers. Revolving credit would allow you to charge additional purchases on your revolving credit account. The installment plan only finances one item, rather than like a credit card, which is how revolving credit works. You would not choose non-installment credit because this would require you to make this payment all at once in a short period of time. It would not allow you to spread the payments out over time.

A direct cost is a cost that is____________.
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Traceable to a single cost object.

Explanation:

Direct Cost for finished goods is referred to the costs of the items and services directly used in production that can be allocated to a single cost object. Other costs including rent and production site insurance are indirect costs. The cost of the finished goods may be assigned to indirect costs, but they are not direct costs because they do not change with production levels.

The graph above shows how the price of video games varies with the demand quantity. Suppose that the price of video games is set
ira [324]
Price floor.
A floor, in real life, is at the bottom, below you — this then makes sense in business to say that a ‘floor’ represents the minimum value of something — in this case the price of video games.
In real life, a ceiling is above you, indicating that it could be used as a representative of a maximum value of something, like the price of a video game.

So, if we were to say that $120 was the ‘price ceiling’ for video games, then we would basically be saying that $120 is the most a video game could cost. If we were to say that $100 was the ‘price floor’ for video games, we would be saying that $100 is the minimum value that the price of a video game could assume.
