A company has a factory that is designed so that it is most efficient (average unit cost is minimized) when producing 15,000 uni

ts of output each month. However, it has an absolute maximum output capability of 17,250 units per month, and can produce as little as 7,000 units per month without corporate headquarters shifting production to another plant. If the factory produces 10,925 units in October, what is the capacity utilization rate in October for this factory?

Answer:

The capacity utilization rate for month of October is 72.83%.

Explanation:

FORMULA FOR CALCULATING CAPACITY UTILIZATION RATE -

= ACTUAL CAPACITY / MOST EFFICIENT CAPACITY

GIVEN INFORMATION -

Actual capacity for month of October - $10,925

Most efficient capacity - $15,000

Putting these values in formula -

= $10,925 / $15,000

= .7283

Now multiplying it by 100 to convert it in to percentage

= .7283 x 100

= 72.83%

Ghella [55]

Answer:

The correct word for the blank space is: lower; buyers to offer higher prices.

Explanation:

In a market driven by supply and demand laws, shortages are caused because of excess in demand as a result of lower prices. Thus, that price is lower than the equilibrium price. Besides, if there is a need to push that price to its equilibrium level, sellers will have to increase the price implying buyers will have to offer higher prices.

Cash receipt from sales=total sales-accounts receivable=$250,000-$18,900=$ 231,100.00

interest paid is $3800

insurance paid is $7,800

Tax paid=(sales-purchases-salaries paid-insurance cost(one year)-interest paid)*tax rate

insurance for one year=$7800*1/2=$3,900

tax paid=($250,000-$96,000-$12,700-$3,800-$3,900)*40%=$53440

Cash balance=$231,100-$69,000-$12,700+$14,000-$14,000-$3800-$7800-$53440=$84,360.00
