Answer:

Maximum total profit = $4,800

Explanation:

When a business is faced with a problem of shortage of a resource which can be used to produced more than one product type, to maximize the use of the resource , the business should allocate it for production purpose in such a way that it maximizes the contribution per unit of the scare resource.

Therefore the Company should allocate the budget cost  to maximize the profit per production cost. This is done as follows:

Calculate the profit per budget cost and rank the product

                                              Gasoline      Heating oil

Profit per product cost         3/6=0.5                    4/8= 0.5

The two products produce the same profit per dollar of cost which is $0.5. So, they are equally ranked.

So the total profit= the budget cost × profit per budget

                           = 9,600× $0.5 =$4,800

Maximum total profit = $4,800

Holly's ham, inc. sells hams during the major holiday seasons. during the current year 11,000 hams were sold resulting in $220,0
lutik1710 [3]
To find: Breakeven point (in units)  
Given: Number of hams sold = 11000
 Sales revenue = $220,000 
 Variable cost = $55,000
 Fixed cost = $24,000 
 Solution: Break-even point (in units) can be calculated as:-
  Fixed costs / (sales price per unit-variable costs per unit) 
 Fixed costs = $24,000
 Sales price per unit = total sales revenue/number of units = 220000/11000 =
$20
 Variable costs per unit = total variable cost/number of units = 55000/11000 = $5 
 Putting values in the formula, 
 =24000 / (20-5)
 =24000/15
 =1600 
 Breakeven point (in units) = 1600 units

Roman Knoze is considering two investments. Each will cost $20,000 initially. Project 1 will return annual cash flows of $10,000
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

NPV= $4,079.63

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial cost= -$20,000

Rate of return= 10%

<u>To calculate the net present value, we need to use the following formula:</u>

NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

<u>First, we need to discount the cash flows:</u>

PV= Cfn / (1+i)^n

Cf1= 5,000/1.1= 4,545.45

Cf2= 10,000/1.1^2= 8,264.46

Cf3= 15,000/1.1^3= 11,269.72

Total PV= $24,079.63

Now, the NPV:

NPV= -20,000 + 24,079.63

NPV= $4,079.63

Social security pays $0. 90/dollar for your first $826 in earnings, $0. 32/dollar for the next $4154 in earnings, and only $0. 1
masya89 [10]

Social Security benefits are typically computed using "average indexed monthly earnings."

<h3>What is the Social Security bonus trick?</h3>

That's a myth: 62 is the earliest age you can claim your benefit, but it's not the only age to do so.

Waiting to claim Social Security after age 62 comes with a bonus: roughly 8% additional monthly income per year for each year you delay claiming (up to age 70).

<h3>What is the lowest Social Security monthly benefit?</h3>

The first full special minimum PIA in 1973 was $170 per month.

Beginning in 1979, its value has increased with price growth and is $886 per month in 2020.

The number of beneficiaries receiving the special minimum PIA has declined from about 200,000 in the early 1990s to about 32,100 in 2019.

omeli [17]

Answer:

December:

Dr cash         $16,000

Cr subscription revenue   $16,000

Dr cash                         $216,000

Cr unearned revenue                     $216,000

January 2017:

Dr unearned revenue $18,000

Cr subscription revenue            $18,000

Explanation:

The sales of 4000 copies at the newstand means that revenue of $16,000($4*4000) has been earned in December,which means that cash would debited with $16,000 and sales revenue credited with the same amount.

In December,the subscriptions received in advance for 2017 of $216,000($36*6000) would be debited to cash and credited to unearned revenue account.

At the end of January,the unearned revenue would be debited with $18,000($216,000/12) in respect of subscription earned as a result of the Magazine been mailed to subscribers in the month,which now entitles the company to one month subscription as earned sales revenue.
