Investment banks help companies to purchase, sell and make investments using bonds while commercial banks are concerned on managing deposits on both savings and checking account.
Investment banks aid companies on bringing their investments on public offers; commercial banks are focused on providing security for the clienteles money.
Investment banks have some degree of freedom in choosing their own strategies while commercial banks have more risks because they are open to public transactions.
Answer:
$7.15
Explanation:
Calculation for Other The cost of wages and salaries and other overhead that would be charged to each bouquet made is:
Wages and salaries charged to each bouquet produced = (60%*$180,000)+(50%*$70,000)/20,000 bouquet
Wages and salaries charged to each bouquet produced = $108,000+$35,000/20,000 bouquet
Wages and salaries charged to each bouquet produced = $143,000/20,000 bouquet
Wages and salaries charged to each bouquet produced = $7.15
Therefore The cost of wages and salaries and other overhead that would be charged to each bouquet made is:$7.15
Answer:
$84,000
Explanation:
preference share dividend is at 5% on $100 par value. The number of preference shares is 12,000 shares ( non cumulative)
The year 2017 preference share dividend pay out is 5% of 100 multiplied by 12,000 = $60,000
Deduct $ 60,000 from $144,000 dividend declared in 2017 , the balance is common stockholders dividend.
144,000 minus 60,000 = $84,000
Non cumulative preference shares dividend are paid first for the year the company declares dividend. The dividend is not cumulative ( prior years dividend for which company did not declare dividend are forfeited).
The common stockholders are paid dividend after preference shares dividend are paid. The common stockholders bears the full risk of the business as seen above. In event of liquidation, they are the last to be settled from realised asset of the bankrupt company.
Answer:
80000 unit of Alpha
Explanation:
This is a Limiting factor/resource constraint question. In certain situations entities suffer from shortage of necessary resources (e.g: shortage of material, labor hours, machine hours), in such circumstances entities strive to allocate the constraint resources to the production of those products which generate the highest contribution per limiting factor and help maximize total contribution. In this case the limiting factor for Cane is Raw material.
Lets suppose that each unit of <em>Alpha and Beta sell for $120 and $80</em> respectively and variable cost per unit of <em>Alpha and Beta is $69 and $20 </em>respectively. Each unit of <em>Alpha and Beta require 2 and 5 pounds</em> of raw material for production respectively.
Now that we have supposed the data we have to compute contribution per unit and then contribution per limiting factor and based on the ranking (i.e highest first) of contribution per limiting factor we decide which product should be given priority for resource allocation.
<em>Lets calculate contribution per unit.</em>
Alpha:
Contribution per unit= SP-VC
Where, SP stands for selling price and VC stands for variable cost.
CPU= 120-69
CPU=$51
Beta:
Contribution per unit= 80-40
CPU=$40
<em />
<em />
<em>Now, lets calculate contribution per limiting factor.</em>
Alpha:
CLF: $51÷2
CLF: $25.5 1st Rank
Beta:
CLF: $40÷5
CLF: $8 2nd Rank
So clearly Alpha has a greater contribution per limiting factor and it implies that Alpha will earn the highest contribution margin therefore Cane should produce and allocate resources to Alpha first and then Beta if there remains any?
Profit maximizing output:
It requires 2 pounds of raw material to produce one unit of Alpha (i.e 80000×2=160000) Therefore Cane should produce 80000 units of Alpha only in order to maximize its profits.
Answer:
Suppose that for a particular firm the only variable input into the production process is labor and that output equals zero when no workers are hired. In addition, suppose that the average total cost when 5 units of output are produced is $60, and the marginal cost of the sixth unit of output is $120. What is the average total cost when six units are produced
