Answer:

Multiple choices below are missing:

A) purchase Bond A

B) purchase Bond B

C) purchase neither A nor B at this time

D) negotiate a higher rate on Bond A

The correct option is A,purchase bond A.

Explanation:

By purchasing Bond A,Lee is assured interest payment of 7.5% for a period of twenty years,hence the issuer cannot call the bond if interest rate drops by 2% in order to issue a lower interest-bearing bond which would be cheaper cost-wise.

However, if Lee purchases Bond B with current coupon of 8.25%,the interest is only guaranteed for a period of two years,since the issuer has the prerogative of calling back the bond after two years should interest fall in order to issue another bond that commands lower interest rate.

Reika [66]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

<u>We were provided with the activity rates. To calculate the total cost, first, we need to allocate overhead to both product lines:</u>

<u></u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Product K425:

Allocated MOH= (6*80) + (4*100) + (50*1) + (90*1) + (14*1) + (9*80)

Allocated MOH= $1,754

Product M67:

Allocated MOH= (6*500) + (4*1,500) + (50*4) + (90*4) + (14*10) + (9*500)

Allocated MOH= $14,200

<u>Now, we can calculate the unitary cost:</u>

Product K425:

Unitary cost= 13 + 5.6 + (1,754/200)

Unitary cost= $27.37

Product M67:

Unitary cost= 56 + 3.5 + (14,200/2,000)

Unitary cost= $66.6

Joan grows pumpkins. If Joan plants no seeds on her farm, she gets no harvest. If she plants 1 bag of seeds, she gets 500 pumpki
valkas [14]

Answer: Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct option: Decreasing marginal product.

Marginal product is the change in the level of output, when there will be an extra input employed in the production of a certain commodity.

So, Marginal Product = \frac{change\ in\ Q}{Change\ in\ I}

Where,

Q = Output

I = Input

Marginal product of 1st bag = 500

Marginal product of 2nd bag =  \frac{800-500}{2-1} = 300

Marginal product of 3rd bag =  \frac{900-800}{3-2} = 100

∴ From the above calculations, we can seen that as we employed one more bag of seeds as a result marginal product goes on diminishing.

Hence, Joan's production function exhibits decreasing marginal product.
