Last month when Holiday Creations, Inc., sold 44,000 units, total sales were $302,000, total variable expenses were $232,540, an

d fixed expenses were $35,800. Required: 1. What is the company’s contribution margin (CM) ratio? 2. What is the estimated change in the company’s net operating income if it can increase total sales by $1,200? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Answer:

(1) contribution margin ratio = 0.23 or 23%

(2)The operating Income will increase $276

Explanation:

302,000 sales

232,540 variable cost

69,460 contribution margin

35,800 fxed cost

33,660 net income

(1) contribution margin ratio

\frac{Contribution Margin}{Sales Revenue} = $Contribution Margin Ratio

69,460/302,000 = 0.23 = 23%

This means, for every dolalr of sale, the company has $0.23 of contribution margin, AKA money to cover fixed cost and make a gain.

(2) income if sales increase

↑Sales x CMR = ↑Operating Income

↑1,200 x 00.23 = ↑276

An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 3km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refi
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

$6,598,076.21

Explanation:

<h2>THE KEY IS TO FIND OUT THE COST FUNCTION, the calculations are very easy!!!</h2><h2></h2><h3>In order to find the cost function, take a look at the drawing attached. </h3>

We can see the river (sort of) that is 3 km wide and the storage tanks on the other side of the river 8 km apart.

<h3 />

Laying pipes under (across) the river costs 1,000,000 the km & laying pipes over land costs 500,000 per km.

<h3 /><h3>So basically the cost function is 1,000,000 multiplied by something plus 500,000 multiplied by another something.</h3><h3 />

The distance across the river can be found by using Pythagoras Theorem. A side is 3 km the other is unknown, so we call it X. And it is equal to:

\sqrt{3^{2} +x^{2}}=\\\sqrt{9 +x^{2}}

And we multiply it by 1,000,000; the cost of laying pipe under the river, the we get:

1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}

The distance over the land is (8-x), as we can see in the drawing. So we multiply it by its cost, 500,000. And we get 500,000(8-x).

So the cost function f(x) would be:

f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)

<h2>From here, we just have to differentiate and the derivative found must be equal to zero in order to minimize cost. </h2><h3>The value of x when the derivative is zero is plugged in the original function to get the cost.</h3><h3 /><h2>LET'S DO THIS</h2>

f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(x)=1000000(9+x^{2})^{1/2}+4000000-500000x\\f'(x)=\frac{1}{2} 1000000(9+x^{2})^{-1/2}(2x)-500000\\\\f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}}  - 500000

<h2>f'(x)=0</h2>

f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}}  - 500000=0\\\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}}  = 500000\\\frac{2x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}}  = 1\\2x={\sqrt{9+x^2}}\\4x^2=9+x^2\\3x^2=9\\x^2=3\\x=\sqrt{3} \\

And we plug square root of 3 in the original cost function  ad we get

f(\sqrt{3} )=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+(\sqrt{3} )^{2}} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+3} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{12}+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000(3.46)+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=3464101.62+3133974.60\\f(\sqrt{3})=6598076.21\\

<h2>so the minimal cost is $6,598,076.21</h2><h2 /><h3 />

94. Averaging the deviations from the mean for a portfolio of securities will: A. compute the standard deviation. B. compute the
Yuri [45]

Answer: C. equal zero

Explanation:

The mean is average of the portfolio which means that some securities will be more than the mean and some will be less.

Some deviations will be positive, others will be negative.

When these deviations are added together, the negative deviations will cancel out the positive deviations which will lead to the average deviations being 0.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Calculate the efficiency variance for variable overhead setup costs.

This will be calculated as:

= Standard Hours - Actual Hours) × Standard rate

= (15000/225 × 5.25 - 15000/250 × 5) × 38

= (350 - 300) × 38

= 50 × 38

= 1900 Favourable

2) Calculate the rate variance for variable overhead setup costs.

This will be:

= Standard rate- Actual rate) × Actual Hour

= (38-40) × (15000/250 × 5)

= -2 × 300

= -600 Unfavourable

3) Calculate the flexible-budget spending variance for variable overhead setup costs.

This will be the difference between the standard cost and the actual cost. This will be:

= (15000/225×5.25 ×38) - (15000/250×5 ×40)

= 13300 - 12000

= 1300 Favourable

4) Calculate the spending variance for fixed setup overhead costs.

what formular did you use.

This will be:

= Standard Cost - Actual Cost

= 9975-12000

= -2025 Unfavorable

Suppose a​ profit-maximizing monopolist is producing 12001200 units of output and is charging a price of ​$60.0060.00 per unit.
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Marginal Cost = $30

Explanation:

Given that

Price = $60

Elasticity of demand = -2

Recall that

MC = P(1 + 1/Ed)

From monopolist pricing rule as a function of elasticity of demand.

Where MC = marginal cost

Ed = elasticity of demand = -2

Thus

MC = 60 (1 + 1/-2)

= 60 (1 + [-0.5])

= 60 ( 1 - 0.5)

= 60 (0.5)

= 30

MC = $30
