Vance has a vested account balance in his employer-sponsored qualified profit-sharing plan of $40,000. He has two years of servi

Maurinko [17]

Answer: $5,000

Explanation:

Per the requirements of qualified plans that permit loans, the maximum amount that an individual can withdraw is whichever is lesser between $50,000 and 50% of their Vested Account Balance.

Vance in this scenario has a vested account balance of $40,000.

50% of that would be $20,000.

That means that he can be loaned $20,000. However, he already has an outstanding loan balance that must be accounted for of 15,000.

Subtracting those figures we have,

= 20,000 - 15,000

= $5,000

The maximum loan that Vance can take from the qualified plan is $5,000

The total cost (in dollars) of manufacturing x auto body frames is C(x)=60,000+400x. (A) Find the average cost per unit if 20

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

a) Average price per unit = 700

b) average marginal cost = -1.5 dollars/frame

c) For 201 frames are produced = $698.5

Explanation:

Given Data:

C(x) = 60000 + 400x

a) Average cost for 200 units:

Total Cost of 200 units will be:

C(200) = 60000 + 400(200)

C(200) = 140,000

Total Cost of 200 units = 140,000

Average price per unit = Total Cost / number of units

Average price per unit = 140,000/200

Average price per unit = 700

b) Marginal Average Cost:

We know that marginal cost = $C^{'}$ (x)

And the average marginal cost = $\frac{d}{dx}$ $\frac{C(x)}{x}$

So,

= the derivative of ( $\frac{60,000 + 400(x)}{x}$ )

= the derivative of ( $\frac{(60,000)}{x} + 400$ )

= $\frac{-60,000}{x^{2} }$ + 0

So,

average marginal cost = $\frac{-60,000}{x^{2} }$

at x = 200 units

average marginal cost = $\frac{-60,000}{200^{2} }$

average marginal cost = -1.5 dollars/frame

c) Average cost per frame if 201 frames are produced:

We already seen in the part b that, the average marginal cost is decreasing by 1.5 dollars /frame. So,

if 201 frames are produced the instead of 200 then the difference is of 1 frame and we discussed that average marginal cost of 1 frame is decreasing at 1.5 dollars per frame.

So,

As we know the average cost from part a = 700 dollars.

Therefore, for 201 item = 700 dollars -1.5 dollars

For 201 frames are produced = $698.5

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: Cash in advance

Explanation: Cash in advance is a type of payment that is used in some trade agreements.

This method of payment will require a buyer to pay the seller in cash before a shipment is received and sometimes before a shipment is even made.

Cash in advance is a strategic form of payment that can be used in any transaction in where there is a delay between the sales agreement and the sales delivery.

In the scenario given in the question, we can see that the German company has already placed an order, but the company has also caused a delay in the transaction by requesting for extra modifications.

This will prompt EastSide Tractors to feel the need to safeguard their interests in case the German company should default. This is why a Cash in advance payment system will come into play.

The Stone Company has observed that its utility cost is $5,000 when operating at a level of 20,000 machine hours per period. The

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

$4,600

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Utility cost = $5,000

Operating level = 20,000 machine hours per period

Final utility cost = $4,000

Final operating level = 15,000

Now,

Variable cost per machine hour

= [Total cost at highest level-Total cost at lowest level] ÷ [ Highest level-Lowest level) ]

=[ 5000 - 4000 ] ÷ [ 20,000 - 15,000 ]

= $0.2 per machine hour

Therefore,

Fixed costs = $5,000 - [ 0.2 × 20,000 ]

= $1000

Total cost for 18000 machine hours

= [ 0.2 × 18,000 ] + 1000

= $4,600
