Answer:
the cost of the equipment is $42,979
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of the equipment is as follows:
= Purchase value of an equipment + sales tax on the purchase + other cost incurred + installation cost
= $39,200 + $2,352 + 588 + $657
= $42,979
Hence, the cost of the equipment is $42,979
Answer:
Firm should not shut down, as it is able to cover its Average Variable Cost
Explanation:
Perfect Competition firms in Short Run : The firms produce even if their average revenue (price) < their average total costs (AC). They continue production until Average variable cost (AVC) ≥ per unit price (P) i.e average revenue (AR). This is called Shut Down Point. P lower beyond AVC implies that firm won't continue even in short run.
Given : Variable Cost (VC) = 500 ; Revenue (R) = 510
Average Variable Costs & Average Revenue are variable costs & revenue, per unit quantity. AVC = VC / Q ; AR (P) = R / Q
R i.e 510 > VC i.e 500
So, R/ Q i.e AR is also > VC / Q i.e AVC
Since AVC > AR (P), firm should not shut down
Answer:
2.11%
Explanation:
From the information given; we use the Excel spreadsheet to compute the difference between this bond's YTM(Yield to maturity) and its YTC(Yield to call).
From the diagram; we will see that the
YTM(Yield to maturity) = 8.91%
YTC(Yield to call).= 6.81%
Therefore the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC = (8.91 - 6.81)%
the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC = 2.11%
This type of demand is classified as autonomous demand. Autonomous demand does not depend on other products but is due to increase in consumer usage by natural desire. This type of demand is relative to the needs of the consumer.
Answer:
d. all of the answers are correct
Explanation:
Cost allocation is being done:
1) to influence management behavior and thus promote goal and managerial effort,
2) to measure inventory costs and to know of goods sold on a product or project,
3) to justify cost (e.g to justify an accepted bid).
For example, if you are to determine the amount of electricity consumed at a particular period, the number of units consumed determines the total cost to be paid for the electricity consumed. In such an instance, the number of units of electricity consumed is a Cost Driver.
A cost driver is the most appropriate way of calculating or determining a specific cost.
Variable cost drivers can come in the form of hourly costs, costs per unit, or batch costs, among others.
Cost drivers can be fixed costs, such as in the case of set-up costs.
