Answer:
Explanation:
A) Energy can be both a fixed cost and a variable cost for a company. This is due to the sense that energy in the form of fixed electricity bill even when no production takes place (telephone bill), a fixed cost and electricity bill when production takes place would be a variable cost
B) An increment in fixed cost will shift the ATC curve to the right while the MC curve would remain the same because MC is the change in variable cost as output increases and is not related to fixed cost.
C) Corn cost is a variable cost for ethanol producer as each unit of corn is used to produce ethanol and thus use of corn is reliant upon how much ethanol is produced. This makes corn a variable input dependent on the production of output, therefore, the cost of corn is variable.
D) An increment in the variable cost will shift the ATC curve to the right and individual MC curve to the right.
Answer:
The process cost summary is given below.
A-Total Material Cost = $22,500
B-Total Conversion costs = $95,625 (45,625+50,000)
C-Units transferred out = 40,000
D-Ending Inventory = 10,000
E-Equivalent units of material = 45,000
F-Equivalent units of conversion costs = 42,500
G-Equivalent cost per unit of material = $0.5 (A/E)
H-Equivalent cost per unit of conversion costs = $ 2.25 (B/F)
I-Equivalent cost per unit = $2.75 (G+H)
J-Cost of inventory transferred = $ 110,000 (I*C)
K-Cost Of Ending Inventory = $ 8,125 (H*(F-C) + (5000*0.5))
Answer:
The correct answer is option A.
Explanation:
High inflation will cause an adverse effect on the exchange rate. However, the low inflation rate does not have a positive effect on the value of currency and exchange.
Inflation rate affects the rate of interest which has an effect on the exchange rate. The relationship between the interest rate and inflation is complex and difficult to manage.
Lower interest rates are likely to lower the cost of borrowing. As a result, there is an increase in investment and production. This increases aggregate demand and thus price level.
But lower interest discourages foreign investment, the demand for domestic currency falls.This shift the currency demand curve to left decreasing the interest rate.
Answer:
$241,500
Explanation:
Calculation for What amount should Sunland report as its December 31 inventory
December 31 inventory per physical count $190,500
Add Goods-in-transit purchased FOB shipping point $29,000
Add Goods-in-transit sold FOB destination $22,000
December 31 Inventory $241,500
($190,500 + $29,000 + $22,000 = $241,500)
Therefore What amount should Sunland report as its December 31 inventory is $241,500
Answer:
a/ 20 days per year on average
b/ The use of road salt to is an effective deicer method. However, it will eventually causes some harmful impact on the environment including but not limited to increasing in water/soild salinity, contamination of public drinking waters, destroy the soild structure and slowly killing of trees and plants. Luckily, there are some other options which are more environment-friendly such as Cheese brine, Sand, Urea, Beet molasses
Explanation:
a/ To evaluate the investment of the new snowplow, denote X is the average amount of saving per a year as the new snowplow is used.
Consider the average amount of saving as an annuity for the next 12 years, with the discount rate of 14%. The present value (PV) = 45,000 - 2,500/1.14^(-12) =$44,481.1
Thus, to obtain the rate of return of 14%, PV of the annuity should be equals to $44,481.1 meaning: 44,481.1= (X/14%) x [ 1 - 1.14^(-12)] <=> X = $7858.44
As one day use would save Ithaca $400, to achieve the targeted saving of $7858.44, the city has to use the snowplow at least 20 days per year ( 7858.44/400)
