Answer:

$444.42

Explanation:

For computing the saving amount, first need to calculate the economic order quantity, total cost etc

The economic order quantity is

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

where,

Annual demand is

= 774 packaging crates × 12 months

= 9,932 crates

And, the carrying cost is

= $12 × 34%

= $4.08

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{9,288}\times \text{\$29}}{\text{\$4.08}}}

= 363.37 crates

Now the total cost is

= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost

= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit

= 9,288 ÷ 363 × $29 + 363 ÷ 2 × $4.08

= $742.02 + $740.52

= $1,482.54

Now the total cost in case of 774 packing crates is

= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost

= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit

= 9,288 ÷ 774 × $29 + 774 ÷ 2 × $4.08

= $348 + $1,578.96

= $1,926.96

So, the annual saving cost is

= $1,926.96 - $1,482.54

= $444.42

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

$230,000

Explanation:

Calculation for what the company's absorption-costing income would be:

First step is to calculate the Fixed manufacturing per unit

Fixed manufacturing per unit = $240,000 ÷ 40,000

Fixed manufacturing per unit= $6

Second step is to calculate the per units cost using this formula

Per Unit cost = Sales − Variable costs − Fixed OH

Let plug in the formula

Per Unit cost = $42 − $19 − $7 − $6 = $10 × 37,000

Per Unit cost = $370,000

Now let calculate the what the company's absorption-costing income would be

Absorption-costing=$370,000 − $140,000

Absorption-costing= $230,000

Therefore the company's absorption-costing income would be:$230,000

A landowner in fee simple signed a promissory note for $10,000 to a bank, and secured the note by a mortgage of her land to the
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

D) Both the landowner and the attorney.

Explanation:

The bank will succeed in obtaining a judgement against both the former landowner and the attorney. The bank can sue either of them or both of them, but it can only collect the $5,000 once.

  • When the attorney assumed the mortgage, he expressly promised to pay it. The lender becomes a third party beneficiary of the attorney's promise to pay and can sue him if the mortgage isn't paid.
  • The former landowner became secondarily liable to the lender in case the attorney didn't pay.

docker41 [41]

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

The IS-LM model, simply is an acronym which represents "investment-savings" and the "liquidity preference of money supply". The model indicates the interaction between market for economic goods and the loanable funds market which is also called the money market.

The variables are explained below:

a. Employment: A rise in the spending expenditure will result into an increase in the current or future taxes which will have an effect on the workers by making them poorer and therefore making them offer their services to the labor market. This will lead to a rise in labor supply.

b. The real wage: Due to the increase in labor supply, the real wage will reduce because the supply of labor will be more than the demand.

c. Average labor productivity: The marginal productivity of labor or production function is not influenced by fiscal policy changes.

d. Investment: There will be a leftward upward shift of the LM curve. Due to increase in price of goods and services, and the fall in real money supply, the interest rate will rise therefore making investment to reduce.

e. The price level: Demand for output is more than the full employment level of output. This will bring about increase in price.
