Answer:

consumer surplus = $3.5

producer surplus = $2

Explanation:

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good

Jeff's consumer surplus = $7 - $6 = $1

Samir's  consumer surplus = $8.50 - $6 = $2.50

total consumer surplus = $1 + $2.50 = $3.50

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product

Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept

Manufacturer 1's producer surplus = $6 - $4.5 = $1.50

Manufacturer 2's producer surplus = $6 - $5.50 = $0.50

total producer surplus = $1.50 + 0.50 = $2

Olin [163]

Answer:

D. Treated as a loss in the period incurred.

Explanation:

The process-costing system is used by firms that produce goods that goes through a set of manufacturing departments i.e it's used when firms mass produce nearly identical or similar units through various processes.

Under process-costing system, direct costs of production are accumulated,  summarized, and then assigned to all the units produced during the period.

Thus, a single product cost is calculated by dividing process cost in each manufacturing department by the respective units produced during the production period.

Some organizations that use the process-costing system are oil refineries, chemical processing companies, eraser manufacturing companies, and food production companies.

In a process-costing system, the cost of abnormal spoilage should be treated as a loss in the period incurred.

The abnormal spoilage refers to the cost exceeding normal level, associated with spoiled units of a manufacturing process. It should be treated as a loss in the period incurred because it cannot be recovered

hoa [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let’s use the tax rate schedule for 2019

Since Chuck status is single and earned $80,750.

He would pay 10 percent on the first $9,700 of his earnings ($970);

Then 12 percent on the other earnings from $9,701 to $39,475 ($3,573); and then 22 percent on the remaining income, up to $80,750 ($9,081).

Chuck total tax bill would be $13,624. Divide that by adding his earnings of $80,750 and interest of $30,750 and you get an effective tax rate of 12.22 percent.

A company has a before-tax cost of common equity of 14%, a pre-tax cost of debt of 6%, a cost of preferred equity of 8%, and a m
enot [183]
Weighted average cost of capital = [Cost of equity * Proportion of equity] +[Cost of preferred stock * Proportion of preferred stock] +[Cost of debt *(1-tax rate)*proportion of debt]

Cost of equity =0.14

Proportion of equity = 75/150 = 3/6

Cost of preferred stock = 0.08

Proportion of preferred stock = 25/150 = 1/6

Cost of debt = 0.06

Tax rate = 0.34

Proportion of debt = 50/150 = 2/6

Weighted average cost of capital =[0.14*3/6]+[0.08*1/6]+[0.06 (1-0.34)*2/6]

Weighted average cost of capital = 0.07+0.013+0.0128 = 0.0958 = 9.58%
