Answer: a.$10,904 increase

Explanation:

Operating income before sales increase:

= Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs

= 551,000 - (71% * 551,000) - 207,000

= -$47,210

Operating income after sales increase:

Sales increases to:

= 551,000 + 37,600

= $588,600

= 588,600 - (71% * 588,600) - 207,000

= -$36,306

Difference:

= -47,210 - (-36,306)

= Increase of $10,904

Assume company can produce any amount above 3.4 units. Naploc purchased the equipment for $12,000 and did not start production y
svetlana [45]

Answer: $12,000

Explanation:

As no production has been started yet, no other costs have been incurred by Naples for the equipment other than the $12,000.

The lowest price that Tebit should offer therefore should be the price that the equipment was purchased for as the equipment has not not been used to produce anything and so has not incurred any variable costs or donated any incremental value that would decrease or increase its value.

Ann Chovies, owner of the Perfect Pasta Pizza Parlor, uses 20 pounds of pepperoni each day in preparing pizzas. Order costs for
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Order costs for pepperoni = $10.00 per order

Carrying costs = 4 cents per pound per day

Lead time for each order = 3 days

Pepperoni itself costs = $3.00 per pound

Total Order = 80 pounds of pepperoni

Demand rate = 20

Total ordering cost = Total order × cost per order

                                = 80 × $10

                                = $800

Length of an order cycle:

=\frac{Order\ quantity}{Demand\ rate}

=\frac{80}{20}

= 4 days

Answer:

$40

Explanation:

Overhead per machine hour = Overhead ÷ 250,000 machine hours

= $750,000 ÷ 250,000

= $3

Cost of each unit:

= Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead

=  $14 + $20 + (machine hours per unit × Overhead per machine hour)

= $14 + $20 + (2 × $3)

= $40

Therefore, the cost of each unit produced is $40.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

c. liable on the ground that Mesa is an intended third-party beneficiary

Explanation:

             In a contract, the third-party beneficiary is a business or a person that benefits from the agreement and the terms of the contract that is made between the two other parties. According to law,  third-party beneficiary have certain rights which they can enforced if the contract is not fulfilled.

            In the context, Mesa is a third party beneficiary. The Mesa County enters into a contract with New Construct Inc. to construct a court house. Now New Construct Inc. again hires the firm Odell to excavate the land site.

            While excavating Odell damages few nearby properties, so Mesa County files a law suit against Odell. But Odell argues that Odell is not in agreement with Mesa County or have not entered into with any contract with the County, so Mesa cannot sue the excavator.

            But the court hold that as Mesa County is the third party beneficiary of the contract and have certain rights, Odell is held liable for the loss and should compensate for the loss to the County.

Monique lends Taylor $1,200 on March 15, 2009. Taylor is expected to return $1,260 on March 14, 2010. Monique expects inflation
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

2.94%

Explanation:

Real Rate of Return is the actual rate of return that an investor gets from investment excluding any inflation effect.

Present Value = PV  = $1,200

Future Value = FV = $1,260

Numbers of period = n = 1 year

Use Following Formula to calculate the nominal Interest rate

FV = PV x ( 1 + r )^n

$1,260 = $1,200 x ( 1 + r )

$1,260 / $1,200 = 1+r

1.05 = 1 + r

r = 1.05 - 1 = 0.05 = 5%

As the 5% is the Nominal Interest rate

we Will Use the Fisher Effect formula to calculate the real Interest rate

1 + Nominal Interest Rate = ( 1 + Real Interest Rate ) x ( 1 + Inflation Rate )

1 + 5% = ( 1 + Real Interest Rate ) x ( 1 + 2% )

1 + 0.05 = ( 1 + Real Interest Rate ) x ( 1 + 0.02 )

1.05 = ( 1 + Real Interest Rate ) x 1.02

1 + Real Interest Rate  = 1.05 / 1.02

1 + Real Interest Rate = 1.0294

Real Interest Rate = 1.0294 - 1

Real Interest Rate = 0.0294 = 2.94%
