Answer:
A) $38,650; 48.31%
Explanation:
The computation of the contribution margin and the contribution margin ratio is shown below:
Contribution margin = Service Revenue - Cleaning Supplies Used - wages expense
= $80,000 - $22,000 - $19,350
= $38,650
The variable cost is Cleaning Supplies Used + wages expense
And, the contribution margin ratio equals to
= (Contribution margin ÷ sales) × 100
= ($38,650 ÷ $80,000) × 100
= 48.31%
Answer:
What happens to the wealth effect of a change in the aggregate price level as a result of this allocation of assets?
- The consumers' wealth effect will rise since the slope of the aggregate demand curve increases as the prices of assets increases, i.e. the slope of the aggregate demand curve becomes steeper as customers become wealthier.
Will aggregate demand still be downward sloping? Why or why not?
- The aggregate demand curve sill still be downward sloping because as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity demanded will still decrease. An inverse relationship exists between price changes and quantity demanded.
On a graph that shows supply and demand curves, <u>equilibrium is the single point where the two curves meet</u> (aka are <em>equal</em>).
Answer:
$351,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of an asset is as follows;
Purchase price of the building $220,000
Purchase price of the land $100,000
Transfer taxes $10,000
Attorney and real estate agent's fees $15,000
Repave the parking lot $6,000
Cost of apartment $351,000
hence, the cost of an apartment is $351,000
Answer:
First option will be recommended.
Explanation:
To determine which option to be taken, we calculate the net present value each option generates. The option generating higher NPV should be recommended.
- Net present value of first option = Lump sum receipt = $150,000.
- Net present value of second option will be found by discounting cash flows at investing rate 12% and calculated as followed:
+ Present value of 20 equal annual payment of $14,000 + Present value of $60,000 paid in 20 years = (14,000/12%) x [ 1 - 1.12^(-20)] + 60,000/1.12^20 = $110,792.
As net present value of the first option is higher than the second option, first option will be recommended.
