Answer:

d. $10,600

Explanation:

Variable cost = (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost) / (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost = ($150,430 - $88,020) / (17,700 - 9,800)

Variable cost = $62,410 / 7,900

Variable cost = $7.9

Fixed cost = Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit*Highest activity units)

Fixed cost = $150,430 - ($7.9*17,700)

Fixed cost = $150,430 - $139,830

Fixed cost = $10,600

IceJOKER [234]

Answer: Company's net capital spending for 2016 = $702,000

Explanation:

Given that,

On December 31, 2015:

Net fixed assets = $1,780,000

On December 31, 2016:

Net fixed assets = $2,150,000

Depreciation expense = $332,000

Therefore,

Company's net capital spending for 2016:

= Ending net assets + Depreciation expense - Beginning net assets

= $2,150,000 + $332,000 - $1,780,000

= $702,000

The old factory was converted into condominiums on the top six floors, a health club on the fourth floor, offices on floors two
Paul [167]

Answer: This would be an example of Mixed-use development.

Explanation: Mixed-use development is a development that involves either the conversion of old buildings into buildings that can serve the purpose of mixed use, or the creation of new buildings that will serve this purpose alone.

Mixed use refers to different uses, for instance where a single building houses an apartment, a studio, a firm, a doctor's office, etc.

This development can be undertaken by a private developer, government, or both.

The benefits of a mixed use building can be seen in the question above, where various units can be created in one building, leading to more efficient use of space and also higher income generation.

Price of oil in international markets has dropped stunningly 60% in the past twelve months. Among the factors mentioned behind t
algol [13]

Answer:

Elasticity of demand tends to be more price inelastic in the short run

In the long run, consumers become more aware of alternatives

Elasticity of Supply is the measure of the responsiveness in quantity supplied to a change in price for a specific good

Explanation:

<u>Elasticity of Demand in  Short run</u>

In the short run demand is likely be more inelastic (low = less than 1)

If people are used to buying a good, then when the price goes up, they will tend to keep buying it out of habit. However, when they realise the price rise is permanent they will expend more energy and time in looking for alternatives.

<u>Elasticity of Demand in the Long-run</u>

If the price of a good is expensive for a considerable time period, consumers looking to save money will start trying to find alternatives.

if the goods take a higher percentage of disposable income they may make large changes to their lifestyle.

<u>Elasticity of supply in short-run</u>

The short-run is such a period in which the fixed factors like plants, machinery , etc. cannot be changed. The firm can, therefore raise output by increasing the quantities of variable factors such as labour.

<u>Elasticity of supply in the long-run</u>

The long run supply of a perfectly competitive industry indicates the various quantities of a product offered at various prices. In the long run, the firms can change the existing plant and equipment and they can enter or leave the industry, so that price is always equal to both marginal cost as well as the minimum average cost (Price =LMC = LAC).

Swifty snowboards converts regulat snowboards by adding outriggers and seats so that people who use wheel chairs can snowboard.
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

A. 563 snowboards

B. $120

C. Incremental Profit:$32,000

Explanation:

Volume to meet target profit = (Target Profit + Fixed Cost) / Contribution per unit

<u>Calculation of Contribution per unit</u>

Revenue                                             $150,000

Less Variable Costs ;

Variable production costs                ($60,000)

Variable selling and administration  ($10,000)

Contribution                                        $80,000

Contribution per unit = $80,000 / 500 snowboards

                                   = $160

Volume to meet target profit = ($30,000 + $25,000 + $35,000) / $160

                                                = 562.50 or 563 snowboards

For the Additional Snowboats,Snowbird's managers are willing to pay a price close <em>to cost of making the regular snowboards internally</em>.

<u>Cost of Making :</u>

Variable production costs ($60,000 / 500) = $120

Total Cost                                                       = $120

Therefore, Snowbird's managers are willing to pay $120

For Incremental Profit or Loss, prepare a differential analysis for the additional 200 snowboards.

<u>Differential analysis for the additional 200 snowboards</u>

Sales (200 snowboards × $300)                                             $60,000

Less Incremental Production Costs ( 200 × $120)                ($24,000)

Less Incremental selling and administration (200 × $20)      ($4,000)

Incremental Profit                                                                     $32,000
