Answer:

A. Downward sloping; economies of scale

Explanation:

As the costs rise slower than quantity produced, the cost for each additional unit produced (marginal cost) is decreasing. That is when the Average Cost curve is downward sloping.

At that point the more products are made (scales of production) the lower unit cost becomes (more economic), which means economies of scale.

g A company issues a ten-year bond at par with a coupon rate of 6.5% paid semi-annually. The YTM at the beginning of the third y
Lorico [155]

Answer:

$880.31

Explanation:

Here for computing the new price of the bond we use the present value formula i.e. to be shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Assuming Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 8.6%  ÷ 2 = 4.3%

NPER = 8 years  × 2 = 16

PMT = $1,000 × 6.5% ÷  2 = $32.50

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula, the new price of the bond is $880.31

Identify each of the following features as applying more to job order operations, process operations or both job order and proce
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Identification of Features Applying More to Job Order Operations, Process Operations, or Both:

Features  

1. Cost object is a process.                                  Process Operations

2. Measures unit costs only at period-end.        Process Operations

3. Uses indirect costs.                                          Both

4. Transfers costs between Work in              

   Process Inventory accounts.                            Process Operations

5. Uses only one Work in Process account.       Job Operations

6. Uses materials, labor, and overhead costs.    Both

Explanation:

The main difference between the two operations is the manner costs are accumulated.  Job operations accumulate costs for different jobs that are not similar.  Process operations accumulate costs to show the process a product passes through.  The product of a process operation is not unique like the product of a job operation.

A firm agreed to pay its workers ​$2525 an hour in 2016 and ​$4141 an hour in 2017. The price level for these years was 241 in 2
NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) 10.4%; 16.73%

(b) 6.33%

Explanation:

Given that,

Wages paid to the workers in 2016 = $25 per hour

Price level in 2016 = 241

Wages paid to the workers in 2017 = $41 per hour

Price level in 2017 = 245

Real wage rate in 2016:

= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100

= ($25 ÷ 241) × 100

= 0.104 × 100

= 10.4%

Real wage rate in 2017:

= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100

= ($41 ÷ 245) × 100

= 0.1673 × 100

= 16.73%

Therefore, the real wage increase received by these workers in​ 2017 is calculated as follows:

= Real wage rate in 2017 - Real wage rate in 2016

= 16.73% -  10.4%

= 6.33%

Hence, these workers do get a raise between the two years.

Lott Company uses a job order cost system and applies overhead to production on the basis of direct labor costs. On January 1, 2
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $42 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated manufacturing overhead= $924,000

Estimated direct labor hours= 22,000

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 924,000/22,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $42 per direct labor hour

Treasury bills and Treasury notes are an investment security issued by the U.S. government. A Treasury bill matures within one y
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

<u>I would rollover.</u>

Explanation:

It is expected an increase in the interest rate in the near future. It is better to <u>wait for the purchase of a long-term note because</u>, once the interest rises, the <u>price of the TS at 9 years will decrease</u> to match the new yield.

While doing a rollover we can make the cash work at 5% and start yielding at 7% in six month. Once the expectation of higher interest rate vanish, I can consider moving to a long Treasury Bill, which most probably will have a lower cost than today.
