Answer:
$358,150
Explanation:
Cost of goods manufactured is calculated in a Schedule of Manufacturing Costs as follows :
Cost of goods manufactured = Beginning Work In Process + Total Manufacturing Costs - Ending Work In Process
where,
Total Manufacturing Costs :
Materials used in product $124,260
Depreciation on plant $69,650
Property taxes on plant $21,750
Labor costs of assembly-line $120,570
Factory supplies used $25,810
Total $362,040
therefore,
Cost of goods manufactured = $13,700 + $362,040 - $17,590 = $358,150
Answer:
(2) 4%
Explanation:
The portfolio is considered to be less risky if its volatility is low. The higher standard deviation the more risky is the project. For Duke Energy and Microsoft the investment portfolio required is risk free investment. To calculate the risk free rate we calculate using the formula;
Var Rp = x1 2Var R1 + x2 2Var R2 +2 x1 x2 Corr (R1, R2) SD1 SD2
Var Rp = 0.14 + 0.44 + 2 (1) * (-1) * 6% * 24%
Solving for this we get the risk free investment at 4%.
Answer:
A) Shortage, B) Fall in Price
Explanation:
A] Market is at equilibrium where - downward sloping Market Demand (inversely related to price), & upward sloping Market Supply (directly related to price) - are equal & these curves intersect each other.
Above condition gives us equilibrium price & quantity.
If market price < equilibrium price, as given case 15 < 20. Then, supply being directly related to price is lesser, demand being inversely related to price is higher. So, there is a situation of excess demand, ie <u>shortage </u>(graphically denoted by distance between demand & supply curve at actual price below equilibrium price)
B] Dealers of hybrid vehicles increase imply increase in supply of these vehicles, rightwards shift in the supply curve. This creates excess supply ie surplus of them. It implies that competition among sellers lead to <u>fall in price </u>of these hybrid vehicles.
