Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Current PE ratio is

For Pacific energy company

= Price ÷ Earnings

= ($967,000 ÷ 0.13) ÷ ($967,000)

= 7.69 times

For U.S Bluechips

= Price ÷ Earnings

= ($967,000 ÷ 0.13) ÷ ($967,000)

= 7.69 times

b. The new PE ratio is

= Price ÷ Earnings

= (($967,000 + $117,000) ÷ 0.13) ÷ ($967,000)

= 8.62 times

c. The new PE ratio is

= Price ÷ Earnings

= (($967,000 + $217,000) ÷ 0.13) ÷ ($967,000)

= 9.42 times

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Bing can immediately sue for breach of contract

Explanation:

Based on the scenario that is being described, Bing can immediately sue for breach of contract. Breaching a contract is when one party in a binding agreement fails to deliver according to the terms of the agreement. When Dill made an anticipatory repudiation, he basically stated that he does not intend to live up to the obligations of the contract that he had agreed to, therefore breaching the contract and becoming liable.

The following information is available for a company's utility cost for operating its machines over the last four months.
laila [671]

Answer:

Using the high-low method, the estimated variable cost per machine hour for utilities is $1.875/ machine hour

Explanation:

High Low Method is a method used to separate Fixed and Variable Costs Components of a semi-variable cost/overhead.

<em>Step 1 : Establish 2 points - The Highest and The Lowest</em>

High - March 2,640 hrs : $8,100

Low - April 720 hrs : $ 4,500

<em>Step 2 Calculate the variable Cost Component</em>

Variable Costs = Overhead Cost difference /Activity difference

                        = ($8,100-$4,500)/(2,640hrs-720hrs)

                        = $3,600/1,920hrs

                        = $1.875/hr
