Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Two different manufacturing processes are being considered for making a new product. The first process is less capital-intensive, with fixed costs of only $49,700 per year and variable costs of $740 per unit. The second process has fixed costs of $391,000 but variable costs of only $160 per unit. a. What is the break-even quantity, beyond which the second process becomes more attractive than the first? the volume at which the second process becomes more attractive is ..... units

answer :  At ≥ 589 units the second process becomes more attractive

Explanation:

A) Determine the breakeven quantity that makes the second process more attractive

the second process has a higher fixed cost of $391000

x = volume of sales that makes process 1 as profitable as process 2

sales = fixed cost + Total variable cost

profit = (( selling price ) * X ) - (variable cost * X ) - fixed cost

<em>Assuming the profit made from process 1 = process 2 </em>

((selling price * X ) - ( variable cost of process 1 * X ) - fixed cost of process 1 =((selling price * X ) - ( variable cost of process 2 * X ) - fixed cost of process 2

hence ;

x = ( fixed cost of process 2 - fixed cost of process 1  ) / ((variable cost of process 1) - (variable cost of process 2 ))

   = ( 391000 - 49700 ) / ( 740 - 160 )

   = 588.44 units ≈ 588 units ( both process will yield same profitability

At ≥ 589 units the second process becomes more attractive

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

$415,000

Explanation:

Following is the formula for cash flow:

<em>Ending Cash Balance = CFO + CFI + CFF + Beginning Cash Balance</em>

<em>CFO = Cash flow from operating activities</em>

<em>CFI = Cash flow from investing activities</em>

<em>CFF = Cash flow from financing activities</em>

We can easily rearrange the formula to find CFO

<em>Ending Cash Balance - CFI - CFF - Beginning Cash Balance = CFO </em>

<em>or </em>

<em>CFO = Ending Cash Balance - CFI - CFF - Beginning Cash Balance</em>

<u>Solution</u>

CFO=105000-(-250000)-(-150000)-90000

<em>CFO = $415,000</em>

Which of the following events would cause a rightward shift of the AD curvea rightward shift of the AD curve​, other things bein
Karolina [17]

Answer: C. There has been a decline in the foreign exchange value of the nation’s currency.

Explanation:

The Demand curve of a country can be written as an equation which is

C+I+G+(X-M)

C is consumption, I is investment, G is government expenditure, X is exports, M is imports and X-M is net exports.

When ever consumption, investment, government expenditure or net exports increase the demand curve shifts to the right and whenever they decrease the demand curve shifts to the left.

In this case when the value of the currency foreign exchange declines, the country reduce its imports because they are now more expensive as your currency's value is declining and the exports will increase because they will now be cheaper to foreign buyers as their currency is now gotten stronger. This decrease in imports and increase in exports will  increase net exports and an increase in net exports will shift the demand curve to the right
