Answer:

b) $600,000

Explanation:

The break-even sales can be regarded as sales value in which the result makes the firm to report zero profit.

Total fixed costs was given from the question as ( $180,000)

The Contribution margin ratio was give from the question as ( 30%)= 0.3

✓break even point can be calculated as ratio of Total fixed costs to Contribution margin ratio. This can be expressed as

break even point=[Total fixed costs ]/ [ Contribution margin ratio.]

Substitute,

break even point= [ $180,000]/ [0.3]

=$600,000

LiRa [457]

Answer:

The correct option is the third one,$250,687

Explanation:

The key to ascertaining is accounting equation which that assets equal capital plus liabilities.

This implies that by determining the capital and liabilities,total assets sorted out.

Common stock $52,705

*Retained earnings for the year $62,223

Total equity and retained earnings $114,928

total liabilities $135,759

Total equity and liabilities $250,687

Total assets=total equity and liabilities=$250,687

Retained earnings for the year=prior year retained earnings+net profit-dividends paid

prior year retained earnings $40,723

net profit is $36,500

dividends is $15,000

*retained earnings for the year=$40,723+$36,500-$15,000=$62223

Consider a hypothetical economy in which the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.50. That is, if disposable income increas

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The level of saving = $450 billion - $400 billion= $50 billion

Marginal propensity to save = 1- marginal propensity to consume (MPC)=0.5

Expected consumption

MPC= change in Consumption/ change in income 200 billion * 0.5 = $100billion

Therefore consumption = 100 billion + 400 billion = $500 billion

Saving = $650 billion - $500 billion= $ 150 billion

Department G had 2,040 units 25% completed at the beginning of the period, 12,200 units were completed during the period, 1,700

Margarita [4]

Answer:

18261

Explanation:

The first key-point will be that materials are applied entirely at the begining of the production so this part of the cost is quite easy:

You have an ending inventory of 1,700 units and then you have a given data of $9 per unit for direct materials so mulitply those to get:

ending inventory $15,300 materials cost

Next part will be to calculate the conversion cost.

First step, will be to calculate the conversion cost for the period,

which is direct labor + factory overhead:

78,600 + 26,200 = 104,800

Remember conversion cost = labor + overhead

Second, calculate the equivalent units:

Here we have the data for completed units so we work it like this

Complete units 12200

(this are finished o they count entirely)

+ ending units x percent of completion 1700 x 20% = 340

(this are units we work during this period)

- beginning units x percent of completion (2040) x 5% = (510)

(this are units we don't work on this period,

they are from the previous month,

so we subtract them)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Equivalent units for conversion cost 12030

Third, we are almost there, we will divide this two to get the value of 1 unit of conversion cost

104,800 conversion cost / 12,030 equivalent units = 8.7115 CC per unit

Fourth, calculate the conversion cost for the ending inventory

conversion cost per unit x equivalent units of ending inventory

8.7115 x 340 = 2961

Last Step, we add the materials cost with the conversion cost

15,300 + 2,961 = 18261 VALUE OF ENDING INVENTORY

When a "bubble" arises, asset prices are driven by:

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

d. shifts in market psychology and successive waves of irrational exuberance.

Explanation:

Bubble in respect to financial market means an unexpected and non-explainable reason. This although the economists believes arises because of the emotional attachment and effects on an asset. As for example: when an asset is made using the specific raw material which is discovered to be precious in the terms it is ancient then, automatically the price of the asset increases in the market.

Thus, this is nothing but a market psychology that is basically an effect of emotional concerns of individual mindset, which is irrational.

This theory is explain by Keynesian the economists.
