Answer: The correct answer is C. The value of the best alternative that is given up in order to do or get something.
Explanation: Opportunity cost literally means alternative thing forgone - meaning what is given up to get something <em>(sacrifice</em>). It is a concept used by economists to allocate limited resources for production, consumption, distribution and exchange of goods and services. Production of goods or services entails the creation of value. In other words, it gives a more understanding on how limited resources are allocated in order to satisfy the human insatiable desires.
For example, a student may be constrained with limited amount of pocket money, say $100 and the student wants to buy textbooks that cost $10 each or go for different outings going for $20 each. In this scenario, the student has different options: a) buy 10 textbooks and 0 outing b) buy 8 textbooks and a outing c) 6 textbooks and two outings d) 4 textbooks and three outings e) 0 textbooks and five outings. For the student to have any more of the other, he has to give up the other unit. What is given up is called opportunity cost.
Answer:
6. a)
total fixed costs = $600,000
product mix:
1 Diablo: 2 Call of Duty: 3 Sekiro: 4 Starcraft II
Contribution margin per unit:
- Diablo = $55 - $22 = $33
- Call of Duty = $48 - 17 = $31
- Sekiro = $33 - $12 = $21
- Starcraft = $22 - $11 = $11
Contribution margin per product mix = $33 + (2 x $31)) + (3 x $21) + (4 x $11) = $172
break even number (in product mix) = $600,000 / $172 = 3,488.37 ≈ 3,489 product mixes
6.b)
- Diablo = 3,489 games
- Call of Duty = 3,489 x 2 = 6,978 games
- Sekiro = 3,489 x 3 = 10,467 games
- Starcraft = 3,489 x 4 = 13,956 games
Answer:
The correct answer is (C) straight variable cost assumptions.
Explanation:
If the total cost increases with small increases in activity, it may be referred to as a step-variable cost.
How to calculate Open-to-buy:
Open-to-buy = planned purchases - (orders received + merchandise ordered)
Planned purchases = $2,500
Received orders = $1,200
Ordered merchandise = $700
Open-to-buy = $2,500 - ($1,200 + $700)
Open-to-buy = $2,500 - $1,900
Open-to-buy = $600
Answer:
23.68%
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of not taking a cash discount is shown below:-
Cost of not taking a cash discount = [Discount percentage ÷ (100% - Disc.%)] × (360 ÷ (Final due date - Discount period))
= (2% ÷ 98%) × (360 ÷ (50 - 19))
= 2.04% × 11.61
= 23.68%
Therefore for computing the cost of not taking a cash discount we simply applied the above formula.
