Answer:

Marginal Revenue Product=150

Marginal Resource Cost= 100

Explanation:

Marginal revenue product (MRP) is the change in total revenue that results from a unit change of some type of variable input.

Marginal Revenue Product= Revenue Change

/Additional Input

Marginal resource cost (MRC) is the change in total cost that results from a unit change of some type of variable input.

Marginal Resource Cost= Cost Change

/Additional Input

In this situation we must calculate the change of revenues (MRP) and cost (MRC) when we add a new vehicle.  

We are increasing our delivery fleet in 1 unit

First calculate the change in total revenue

Total revenue= 1,500 packages * $0.10 in revenue=150

Marginal Revenue Product=$150/1=150

The Cost change is $100,

so Marginal Resource Cost= $100/1=100

Leto [7]

Answer: A spiff

Explanation:

Spiff is actually a form of slang to refer to someone who receives an incentive for selling an item to customers on behalf of a vendor. This motivates the seller to push the vendor's items (sell them) onto its (seller's) customers. The incentive usually comes in the form of a bonus and is paid out immediately.

In this question the gourmet mustard manufacturer is the vendor, and Beverly is the seller. Beverly receives $1 for every jar of mustard she sells, which is the bonus. This motivates her to keep selling these jars on behalf of the manufacturer (vendor). This payment is immediate, as she receives it everytime she sells a jar of mustard.

You are a valuable member of the student store staff. You handle many of the cash box transactions, moving the daily cash betwee
jasenka [17]

Answer:

I can put a call through to the organisers of the trip explaining that I have cash but it's not within reach and that if they reserved the spot for me, they'd get the money as soon as I can access it. Given that I am a valuable member of the student store staff, that reputation should count in times like this.

To borrow money from the cashbox would be a huge ethical risk and can easily be termed mismanagement of funds especially where the store policy does not allow such.

My value in the store lies largely on my integrity and the trust they students have invested in my person.

I'd rather miss the road trip than make a regrettable unethical decision.

Cheers!

Vaughn Manufacturing has 11500 shares of 5%, $100 par value, non-cumulative preferred stock and 46000 shares of $1 par value com
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

$23,000

Explanation:

Total dividends = $138,000 (Paid in 2020)

Common stock outstanding = 46,000 shares

Preferred dividend = Number of shares × Par value × 5%

= 11,500 × $100 × 5%

= $57,500

Dividends received by common stock holders in 2020 is;

= Total dividends - Preferred dividend

= ($138,000 × 1) - ($57,500 × 2)

= $138,000 - $115,000

= $23,000

Dima020 [189]

Basic models Deluxe models

Sales price $44 $54

Variable costs $25 $25

Contribution margin $9 $29

×

Sales mix 1 3

Total contribution margin $9 $87

Contribution margin per unit = $9 + $87 = $96

Weighted contribution margin= Total contribution margin / Units

= $96 / $4

= $24

Break even point = Total fixed costs / Weighted contribution margin

Break even point = $1,441 / $24

Break even point = 60 units

•Basic units = 60 × 63.33% = 38 units of basic

•Deluxe units = 60 × 43.33% = 26 units of Deluxe units
