Answer:

B) Cost centers do not directly generate revenue from customers, but they may have an impact on revenue through customer satisfaction and overall quality.

Explanation:

Cost Centers are functions where costs are accumulated.

Cost centers do not generate revenue, but they do have impact on revenue since price determination lies on the cost if the company is to make profit.

Costs also determine the quality of the final product to customer and the satisfaction there-off - which are vital for driving revenue.

Answer:

Future value at the end of 19 years =$63,637.94

Explanation:

<em>The Future value (FV) of an investment is the total amount (principal plus interest) that will accumulate in the future where interest is paid and compounded at a particular rate per period for a certain number of periods.</em>

This can be done using the formula below

FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)

FV- Future Value

PV- amount invested, n- number of years, r - interest rate

The amount due after 19 years would be determined in two steps

Step 1: FV of 24,500 at 5.5% for 8 years

FV = 24,500× (1+0.055)^8 =37,599.819

Step 2 : FV of 37599.81962 invested for 11 years at 4.9% p.a

FV = ? P=37,599.81, n- 11, r- 4.9%

FV = 37,599.81 × (1.049)^11= 63,637.94

Future value at the end of 19 years =$63,637.94

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity (Capital – Drawing + Revenues – Expenses) = $17,017

Explanation:

Note: See the attached xlsx file for the effect of each transaction on the individual accounts of the expanded accounting equation and the report of the total of each element.

In the attached xlsx file, transaction (c) is treated in such a way that the insurance for the month of October 20—is accounted for under the following:

Prepaid Insurance = One-year insurance premium - (One-year insurance premium / Number of months in a year) = $1,000 - ($1,000 / 12) = $1,000 - $83 = $917

Expenses = One-year insurance premium / Number of months in a year = $1,000 / 12 = $83

miv72 [106K]

<span>Well, your costs per title have decreased from: $780/7 = $111.43 to: $1080/12 = $90 That represents a decrease in costs of almost 20%. Then. taking the change in titles processed per dollar of cost (the reciprocals of previous calculations), means that total productivity has increased by around 23.8%. Are you calculating labor productivity as including overhead? Because then the answer is 23.8%.</span>

A company estimates that the revenue (in dollars) from the sale of x doghouses is given by R(x)=14,000ln(0.01x+1). Use the diffe

melamori03 [73]

Answer: The change in revenue for the sale of 1 more doghouse $ 66.67 dollars

Explanation: Differential is a function that can be used to approximate function value with a great degree of accuracy. This is done by the following.

Mathematical definition of derivative: f'(x) = lim f(x+Δx) - f(x)/Δx.

If Δx is very small:

f'(x) . Δx ≅ f(x+Δx) - f(x)

Knowing that Δy ≅ f(x+Δx) - f(x) and the diferential of variable x can be written by dx as the variable y can be dy:

dy = f'(x) dx

which means that the differential dy is approximately equal to the change Δy, if Δx is very small.

For the question, R(x) = y(x) = 14,000ln(0.01x+1)

f'(x) = $\frac{d[14,000.ln(0.01x+1)]}{dx}$

Using the chain rule, the derivative will be:

f'(x) = 14,000. $\frac{0.01}{0.01x+1}$

dy = 14,000. $\frac{0.01}{0.01x+1}$ .dx

dx is the change in x. For the question, the change is 1 (1 more doghouse) and x is 110:

dy = 14,000 $\frac{0.01}{0.01.110+1}.1$

dy = $\frac{140}{2.1}$

dy = 66.67

The change in revenue is $66.67 dollars.
