Answer:

Xia Co.

1-a. The relevant costs for Xia Co. to make or buy the part:

Direct materials         $2.25

Direct labor                   1.00

Incremental overhead 0.75

Total relevant cost   $4.00

1-b. Xia should make the part.  It will cost Xia $4.00 to make the component while it costs it $5.00 to buy.  It should therefore, make the component.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Price of buying component = $5

Cost of making component:

Direct materials         $2.25

Direct labor                   1.00

Incremental overhead 0.75

Total relevant cost    $4.00

b) The relevant cost for making the component is $4.00.  The overhead cost based on 200% direct labor is not a relevant cost.  It is an allocated fixed cost and must be incurred whatever decision is taken.  By making the component, Xia Co. will be netting in a unit contribution of $1 ($5.00 - $4.00) with the alternative of buying.

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

From the information given in the question, it was observed that fiscal policy in year 2 is expansionary by comparing it with the fiscal policy in year 1.

The budget deficit in year 1 is $200 billion and in year 2 is $225 billion, so there is an increase in the budget deficit from year 1 to year 2. This means that there is an implementation of expansionary policy either by increasing government spending or decreasing taxes.

On the other hand, standardized deficit also increases from year 1 to year 2, which is also an indication of expansionary fiscal policy.

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The answer is 324,050 shares

Explanation:

Stock dividends adds to the total number of shares outstanding while treasury stock(buy-back) reduces the total number of outstanding shares.

Beta issued a stock dividend of 4percent. Meaning the outstanding shares will increase by 4percent.

1.04 x 320,000 shares

=332,800 shares is the total number of outstanding shares before treasury stock.

Treasury stock issued on September 30, 2018. This means we have 3months(October 1 - December 31st, 2018).

So we have 3/12 x 35,000 shares

= 8,750 shares

Therefore, the appropriate number of shares to be used in the basic earnings per share computation for 2018:

=332,000 shares - 8,750 shares

= 324,050 shares

the formula used to calculate consumption function is:

C = A + MY

  • C = consumer spending
  • A = autonomous spending
  • M = MPC or marginal propensity to consume
  • Y = disposable income

The consumption function has a upward slope since the relationship between consumer spending and disposable income is always positive, i.e. the more disposable income you have, the more you will consume.
