Answer:

win, because Pamela's misrepresentation was not a material fact and did not increase Forever Young's risk in insuring Pamela's life.

Explanation:

A material fact is defined as the rationality of a person making a decision that is important as opposed to one that is trivial or unimportant. It is a fact that if suppressed would have led to a different decision in a particular situation.

Paula will most likely win the case because the lack of disclosure by Pamela of when she had an infected hang-nail removed and her toe treated cannot be linked by a reasonable person to a brain aneurysm.

This lack disclosure would not have increased the risk of Forever Young in Pamela's life insurance.

Southwest U's campus book store sells course packs for $14 each. The variable cost per pack is $12, and at current annual sales
Mumz [18]

Answer:

$23,000

Explanation:

current annual sales = 49,000 packs

Selling price of course packs = $14 each

variable cost per pack = $12

Earnings = $75,000

Contribution:

= current annual sales × (Selling price of course packs - variable cost per pack)

= 49,000 packs × ($14 - $12)

= 49,000 packs × $2

= $98,000

Fixed costs of producing the course packs:

= Contribution - Earnings

= $98,000 - $75,000

= $23,000

US Apparel (USA) manufactures plain white and solid-colored T-shirts. Budgeted inputs include the following
Artemon [7]

Answer:

A) USA will not be better off switching to the new dye since the cost is greater than the Fine

B)  $118076

C)  The reduction in material/fabric cost can be achieved by the reduction in material wastage and in the use of quality materials

while the reduction in labor cost can be achieved by Hiring well trained employees with the necessary skillset

Explanation:

<u>A) Determine If the USA be better off using the new dye </u>

Units of clothes to be dyed = 50,000

Difference in cost = [ 4 ( 1.25 - 0.5 ) ] = 4 * 0.75 = $3

Total cost of using the new dye = 50000 * $3 = $150,000

Fine = $130,000

hence USA will not be better off switching to the new dye since the cost is greater than the Fine

<u>B) Determine by how much overall cost will be reduced at the end of 12 months using Kaizen costing </u>

<em>condition : reduce fabric and labor cost by 1%</em>

Original Monthly Costs without the use of Kaizen Costing =( Total Units/Number of Months)*(Fabric Cost per Unit + Labor Cost per Unit)*Number of Months

= [( 10000 + 50000 )/12 ) * ( 6 + 4 ) ] *12

= [ 5000 * 10 ] *12  = $600,000

Applying kaizen costing

Given: Fabric cost per unit = $6 , Labor cost per unit = $4

          Total units of production = 10000 + 50000 = 60,000

Kaizen costing formula per month = [ (cost per unit * total units / 12 ) - ( 1% of cost per unit * total units / 12) ]

Total annual cost using Kaizen costing = $56807.61

difference in cost = $600,000 - $568076 = $31924

with the new dye and Kaizen costing the overall cost will be change by $118076  i.e. ($150,000 - $31924) = <em>$118076 </em>

C ) The reduction in material/fabric cost can be achieved by the reduction in material wastage and in the use of quality materials

while the reduction in labor cost can be achieved by Hiring well trained employees with the necessary skillset

Why might an economist favor activist policies in developed countries and laissez-faire policies in developing countries
Maslowich

Answer:

One of the main economic issues in developing countries is rampant corruption or extremely inefficient government institutions. This means that less government intervention is always better in developing countries.

On the other hand, in developed countries, the checks and balances system exists within government institutions and even though corruption may exist, it is not as widely spread. The most severe economic problem in developed countries is inequality and huge economic actors. This is why activist policies may be necessary in developed countries, at least in certain economic sectors.

Bullseye, Inc.'s 2008 income statement lists the following income and expenses: EBIT = $707,000, Interest expense = $58,000, and
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

$1.15 per share

Explanation:

The computation of the earning per share is shown below:

Earning per share = Net income ÷ common stock outstanding shares

where,

Net income is

= EBIT - interest expense - taxes

= $707,000 - $58,000 - $224,000

= $425,000

And, the common stock outstanding shares is 370,000

So, the earning per share

= $425,000 ÷ 370,000 shares

= $1.15 per share
