Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": The Justice Department.

Explanation:

The United States Department of Justice (<em>DOJ</em>) enforces the law and defends the interest of the U.S. The entity seeks fair punishment for all those with unlawful behavior and ensures public safety from foreign and domestic threats. Through the Antitrust Division (<em>ATR</em>), the institution reviews mergers and acquisitions to verify their effect and it challenges those that threaten to harm fair competition.

Based on predicted production of 24,200 units, a company anticipates $220,000 of fixed costs and $435,600 of variable costs. If
Doss [256]

Answer:

Variable cost = $340,200

Fixed cost = $220,000

Explanation:

Given that,

At Predicted production = 24,200 units,

Fixed costs = $220,000

Variable costs = $435,600

Per unit variable cost:

= Variable costs ÷ No. of units produced

= $435,600 ÷ 24,200

= $18 per unit

Total cost at 24,200 units,

= Variable costs + Fixed cost

= $435,600 + $220,000

= $655,600

Total cost at 18,900 units,

= Variable costs + Fixed cost

= ($18 × 18,900) + $220,000

= $340,200 + $220,000

= $560,200

Note: Fixed cost does not changes with the change in the output level.

You have the following information on Marco's Polo Shop: total liabilities and equity = $210 million; current liabilities = $50
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

$60 million

Explanation:

The quick ratio is  the financial ratio of the current assets less inventory to current liabilities. While the accounting equation shows the relationship between the elements of a balance sheet which are assets liabilities and equity.

This may be expressed mathematically as

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Given that quick ration is 1.7 and current liabilities = $50 million

1.7 = current assets less inventory/$50 million

current assets less inventory = 1.7 * $50 million

= $85 million

The total asset is made up of the current assets less inventory, inventory, fixed assets. Let the balance for fixed assets be y

$85 + $65 + y = $210   (all amounts in millions)

y = $210 - $150   (all amounts in millions)

y = $60   (all amounts in millions)

the equity of the corporation, a measure of the value of its assets less debt, is estimated to be 200000. linda forgoes a return
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Economic profit  = $5000

Explanation:

given data

value of assets less debt = 200000.

return = 10% per year

total revenue this year =  295000

solution

we consider here that

payroll wage and salaries  = $100000

interest paid = 40000

depreciation on equipment = 80000

supplies utility = 50000

so here we get first Total cost  that is

Total cost = payroll + interest paid + depreciation + supplies   .................1

put here value and we get

Total cost = 100000 + 40000 + 80000 + 50000  

Total cost = $270000

Thus,

Accounting profit = Total revenue - total cost    ..............2

Accounting profit  = 295000 – 270000

Accounting profit  = $25000

and we know Opportunity cost is  

Opportunity cost = 10% of $200000

Opportunity cost = 10% × 200000

Opportunity cost  = $20000

so here Economic profit  will be

Economic profit = accounting profit - opportunity cost   ..............3

Economic profit  = 25000 - 20000

Economic profit  = $5000

Assume that a state government currently provides no child-care subsidies to working single parents, but it now wants to adopt a
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The line on the graph will be parallel to the pre-subsidy line and the new constraint will then be equal to the points connecting the two lines.

Explanation:

The subsidy by government to single parents is $3 per hour for up to 8 hours. The total of subsidy will be $16 for each day. The labor force who were not receiving the subsidy before had steep indifference curve but now few workers will find utility maximization with flatter indifference curve so the workers will join the subsidy program.
