Answer:

c. 6

Explanation:

The maximun profit is determined by the point where the Marginal Revenue (MR) is equal to the Marginas Cost (MC).

Solving for person of type 2 and considering Z=1.

The marginal cost equation:

MC = 2 + 4z

MC = 2 + 4(1)

MC = 6

The demand equation:

P2 = 24 - 2Q2 + 6z

P2= 24 - 2Q2 + 6

P2= 30 - 2Q2

To calculate the Marginal Revenue, we calculate, at first, the total profit:

Total profit=P*Q2

TP=(30-2Q2)*Q2

TP=30Q2 - 2Q2^2

Taking the derivative of the total profit, we obtain the Marginal Revenue

MR = 30 - 4Q2

Finally, set the MR and MC, and solve for Q2

30 - 4Q2 = 6

24 = 4Q2

<h2>Q2 = 6</h2>

Pizza Vesuvio makes specialty pizzas. Data for the past 8 months were collected: Month Labor Cost($) Employee Hours January 9,29
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1. $2,296

2. $19.58

3. Total labor cost = Fixed cost + (variable cost × employee hour)

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

1. The fixed cost would be

= High labor cost - (High employee hours × Variable rate per hour)

= $10,324  - (410 hours × $19.58)

= $10,324 - $8,028

= $2,296

2. Variable rate per hour = (High labor cost - low labor cost) ÷ (High employee hours - low employee hours)

= ($10,324 - $6,800) ÷ (410 hours - 230 hours)

= $3,524 ÷ 180 hours

= $19.58

3. The cost formula would be

Total labor cost = Fixed cost + (variable cost × employee hour)

                          = $2,296 + ($19.58 × employee hour)

Gekko, Inc. reported the following balances (after adjustment) at the end of 2008 and 2007.
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Correct answer is D, P3,900

Explanation:

Begging Allowance for doubtful account is P1,500 (96,000 - 94,500). Ending balance of Allowance for doubtful account is P3,000 (P108,000 -P105,000). We can now work back the provision for doubtful accounts that the company has made during 2008.

Beginning P1,500

Add:

Collection of written off accounts 800

Total P2,300

Less:

Written off 3,200

Total (P900)

Therefore, in order for the company to have an ending inventory of P3,000, They must have set up a provision for doubtful accounts in the amount of P3,900. Attached herewith is the T-account of allowance for doubtful accounts

The following summarized data (amounts in millions) are taken from the September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013, comparative f
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Apple Inc.

a. Calculate Apple Inc.'s working capital, current ratio, and acid-test ratio at September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. (Round your ratio answers to 1 decimal place. Enter "Working capital" in million of dollars.)

September 2014:

a) Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

= $45,660,000 - $34,978,000 = $10,682,000

b) Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

= $45,660 / $34,978 = 1.3 : 1

c) Acid-Test Ratio = Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities

= $45,660 - 930 / $34,978 = 1.3 : 1

September 2013:

a) Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

= $41,940,000 - $21,160,000 = $20,780,000

b) Current Ratio  = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

= $41,940 / $21,160 = 2 : 1

c) Acid-Test Ratio Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities

= $41,940 -1,200 / $21,160 = 1.9 : 1

b. Calculate Apple's ROE for the years ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

September 2014

ROE = Net Income/Equity x 100 = $26,050/$77,290 x 100 = 33.7%

September 2013

ROE = Net Income/Equity x 100 = $14,160/$48,050 x 100 = 29.5%

c. Calculate Apple's ROI, showing margin and turnover, for the years ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. (Round "Turnover" answers to 2 decimal places. Round your percentage answers to 1 decimal place.)

September 2014

ROI = Margin x Turnover = Net Operating Income/Sales x Sales/Average Assets

= ($33,950/$108,400) x ($108,400/$120,880)

= 0.31 x 0.90

= 0.279 = 27.9%

Average Assets = $120,880 ($147,820 + 93,940) /2

September 2013

ROI = margin = turnover = Net Operating Income/Sales x Sales/Average Assets

= ($18,530/$65,370) x ($65,370/$70,880)

= 0.28 x 0.92

= 0.258 = 25.8%

Average Assets = $70,880 ($93,940 + 47,820) /2

b) Working Capital is the excess of current assets over current liabilities.  It shows the amount of finance needed for meeting day-to-day operations of an entity.  Working capital measures a company's liquidity, operational efficiency, and its short-term financial health.  A healthy entity has some excess of current assets over current liabilities in order to continue to run the business operations in the short-run.  Working capital can also be measured in relative terms with the use of ratios, especially the current ratio and the acid-test ratio.

c) ROE means Return on equity.  It is a financial performance measure calculated by dividing net income by shareholders' equity.   Since shareholders' equity is equal to a company's assets minus its debt, ROE is considered as the return on net assets.  As with return on capital, a ROE measures management's ability to generate income from the equity available to it.

d) Return on Investment (ROI) is a financial performance measure which evaluates the efficiency of an investment or compares the efficiency of a number of different investments.  ROI tries to directly measure the amount of return on a particular investment, relative to the investment's cost.  As a financial metric, it measures the probability of gaining a return from an investment.

A small market orders copies of a certain magazine for its magazine rack each week. Let X 5 demand for the magazine, with pmf Su
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the demand for the magazine, the pmf for X is given by:

X       1            2           3          4        5        6      

P(X)  1/15      2/15       3/15     4/15   3/15     2/15

3 magazines

For this case the total spent is 2*3 = $ 6

And the net revenue for this case would be:

$4-$6 = -$2 , X=1 (demand 1)

$4*2-$6 = $2 , X=2 (demand 2)

$4*3-$6 = $6 , X=3 (demand 3)

For the values of X=4,5,6 the net revenue will be $6 since the number of magazines is 3

And the expected value for the net revenue would be:

E(R) = \frac{1}{15} *(-2) +\frac{2}{15} *(2) +\frac{3}{15}*(6) + \frac{4}{15}*(6) +\frac{3}{15}*(6) +\frac{2}{15}*(6) = \frac{74}{15}=4.93

4 magazines

For this case the total spent is 2*4 = $ 8

And the net revenue for this case would be:

$4-$8 = -$4 , X=1 (demand 1)

$4*2-$8 = $0 , X=2 (demand 2)

$4*3-$8 = $4 , X=3 (demand 3)

$4*4-$8 = $8 , X=4 (demand 4)

For the values of X=5,6 the net revenue will be $8 since the number of magazines is 4

And the expected value for the net revenue would be:

E(R) = \frac{1}{15} *(-4) +\frac{2}{15} *(0) +\frac{3}{15}*(4) + \frac{4}{15}*(8) +\frac{3}{15}*(8) +\frac{2}{15}*(8) = \frac{80}{15}=5.33

As as we can see we have a higher expected value for the case with 4 magazines.
