Answer:

d. $ 263.50

Explanation:

The Exchange  rate is 1 dollar = 19.924 Uruguayan Peso.

We need to buy 5000 Uruguayan pesos but the agent requires a comision of  a 5%  when converting currency, so really we will need to buy:

5,000 Uruguayan pesos + 5,000 Uruguayan pesos* 0.05 = 5,250 Uruguayan pesos.

Now if we apply the given exchange rate we will obtain the amount of US Dollars we need:

x U$S = (5,250 Ur.$)/(19,924 Ur.$/U$S)= 263,50 U$S needed

lesantik [10]

Answer:

1. Total cost of purchases for the month

  • = actual purchases x actual price = 200,000 pages x $0.175 per page = $35,000

2. Materials price variance

  • = (actual unit cost - standard unit cost) x actual quantity used = ($0.175 - $0.17) x 185,000 = $925 unfavorable

3. Materials quantity variance

= (actual quantity used - standard quantity allowed) x standard price = (185,000 - 170,000) x $0.17 = $2,550 unfavorable

4. Net materials variance

  • = materials price variance + materials quantity variance = $925 + $2,550 = $3,475 unfavorable

Explanation:

Actual purchase price  $0.175 per page

Standard quantity allowed for production  170,000 pages

Actual quantity purchased during month  200,000 pages

Actual quantity used during month  185,000 pages

A diet is to contain at least 3640 mg vitamin C, 2190 mg Calcium, and 2170 calories every day. Two foods, a dairy-based meal and
vovangra [49]

Answer:

(A) 73 ounces of diary-based meal and 28.8 ounces of the vegan option.

(B) The minimum cost per day is [73 × 0.21] + [28.8 × 0.27] = 15.33 + 7.776 = $23.106

Explanation:

First thing to note is that the dairy-based meal costs less than the vegan option. In otherwords, if you're to minimize cost, you should purchase as many ounces of dairy-based meal as possible. This is the first mindset or step.

What the diet should contain everyday:

3640mg - Vitamin C

2190mg - Calcium

2170 - Calories

DAIRY BASED:

(40 × 91 = 3640), (30 × 73 = 2190), (10 × 217 = 2170)

VEGAN OPTION:

(60 × 60.67 = 3640), (30 × 73 = 2190), (50 × 43.4 = 2170)

Getting 73 ounces of dairy-based meal, you have

(40 × 73), (30 × 73), (10 × 73) = 2920mg, 2190mg, 730 calories.

You have left 720mg of Vitamin C and 1440 calories to obtain from the Vegan Option.

(60 × 12 = 720), (30 × 0 = 0), (50 × 28.8 = 1440)

The highest quantity needed here is 28.8 ounces of calories from the vegan option, hence 28.8 ounces of the vegan meal should be purchased. There will be excesses of Vitamin C and Calcium but that is necessary in order to purchase the stipulated minimum amount of each nutrient.

The minimum cost per day will now be [73 × 0.21] + [28.8 × 0.27] = 15.33 + 7.776 = $23.106
