Answer:

Option D. 5,400 9,000

Explanation:

The computation for the number of units produced is shown below:

But before that first determined the following calculations

Particulars             Spoons                  Forks

Selling Price          $150.00               $88.00

Less:

Variable cost per unit    $80.00          $42.00

Contribution margin

per unit                         $70.00            $46.00

Machine hour per unit    5                               3

Contribution margin

per machine hour                $14.00            $15.33

As we can see that the contribution margin per machine hour of the fork is greater so it should be the first utilized

For 9,000 forks, total machine hours is

= 9,000 × 3

= 27,000

Now no of the spoons produced would be

= 27000 ÷ 5

= 5,400

Rex's doughnuts can produce only 100 doughnuts a day. the variable cost incurred per unit is $2 and fixed costs incurred per day
vladimir1956 [14]
The total cost that is incurred by producing 100 doughnuts is equal to the sum of the variable cost and the fixed cost. The total variable cost is,
    total variable cost = ($2/doughnut)(100 doughnuts) = $200

The total cost is,
   Total cost = total variable cost + total fixed cost
     TC = $200 + $500 = $700

Equating the cost and the revenue,
     TC = TR
     $700 = (100)(x)

The value of x from the equation is $7.

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Diversification for pooling risks

Explanation:

When a company wants to diversify it goes into various products in order to reach a larger market. This is the opposite of specialisation where the company focuses on one market or product.

When a company wants to diversify it will not be a good idea to do it because they want to pool risk.

Pooling of risk involves centralisation of process so that risk due to variability will be reduced.

Diversifying will increase risk due to variability.
