Which of the following is a factor that is usually considered in a cost benefit

Kyle plans to punch patrick. he calls patrick and tells him he will punch him tomorrow at 4:00 pm. at 2:00 pm the next day, kyle

stepan [7]

Technically, Kyle lied to Patrick about the time at which he would punch him. However, there is no contract to prove that this was what was said on the phone (heresay). Additionally, it does not mention that there was any sort of agreement or consideration made between the two of them regarding this. And even if there was, there might be a legality issue due to the fact that punching is both assault and battery when committed on a person, so the contract may not even be enforceable. In terms of civil torts, Kyle didn't really commit anything that is pursuable in court, but did commit battery and assault. If Patrick fell or hit his head further and was injured/killed, he would be liable for an involuntary action, of which would be manslaughter if Patrick died. He would also be able to be sued for wrongful death by Patrick's family.

Management by exception:

iragen [17]

Management by exception holds that only those issues that are significantly deviating from the normal course of action need to be looked at. If the deviations are minor or are likely due to random chance, then management does not need to worry about it at the time. None of the choices presented properly give this definition.

Consider two markets: the market for motorcycles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the sa

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

1. PES for pancakes is 2.45

2. Supply in the market for motorcycles is less elastic than supply in the market for pancakes.

Explanation:

Hi :)

I feel like part of the question is missing but i was able to find it elsewhere and show you:

1. How to calculate PES using mid-point formula

2. PES for both motorcycles and pancakes

3. Which is more elastic

...

Price elasticity of supply is the responsiveness of quantity supplied to a change in price. it is calculated by dividing the % change in quantity supplied by the % change in price. Generally, it can be of two types:

Price Elastic: Change in quantity supplied is higher than change in price. PES > 1

Price Inelastic: Change in quantity supplied is lower than change in price. PES < 1

When calculated using the mid-point formula, this is the formula used:

(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1)/2]

(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1)/2]

1. We will now substitute the actual values of pancakes in place after identifying them from the question:

Equilibrium Quantity - 27 (Q1)

New Quantity - 109 (Q2)

Equilibrium Price - $6.50 (P1)

New Price - $10.75 (P2)

(109 - 27) / [(109 + 27)/2]

(10.75 - 6.50) / [(10.75 + 6.50)/2]

1.21

0.493

Therefore, PES for pancakes is 2.45 (approx. two decimal places) suggesting it is price elastic.

2. In order to check whether motorcycles or pancakes are more elastic, we calculate the PES of motorcycles using the same method:

Equilibrium Quantity - 27 (Q1)

New Quantity - 61 (Q2)

Equilibrium Price - $6.50 (P1)

New Price - $10.75 (P2)

(61 - 27) / [(61 + 27)/2] 

(10.75 - 6.50) / [(10.75 + 6.50)/2]

0.77

0.493

Therefore, PES for motorcycles is 1.56 (approx. two decimal places) suggesting it is price elastic. However, it is less price elastic than PES for pancakes.

One reason for this could be production time. Pancakes can be produced much faster than motorcycles. Therefore, it is more flexible to price changes.

Direct labor 5,850 29,250 23,400

Manufacturing overhead 7,605 38,025 30,420

Total cost of Job 50 $101,315 $74,880 $88,920

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Beginning WIP: Job 50

Direct materials $23,400

Direct labor $24,040

Manufacturing overhead $28,720

Total cost of Job 50 $76,160

Finished Goods Inventory:

Completed Job No. 49 at a cost of $205,300

Raw materials $27,550

Sales of Job 49 = $142,740

Sales of Job 50 = $284,860

Manufacturing overhead:

indirect materials $19,890;

indirect labor $23,400;

depreciation expense

on equipment $14,040;

other manufacturing

overhead costs $18,720

Total overheads $76,050

Applied Overhead:

Direct Labor Overhead Applied

Job 50 5,850 $7,605

Job 51 29,250 38,025

Job 52 23,400 30,420

Total $58,500 $76,050

Overhead rate = 76,050/58,500 = $1.30

What is the discount yield, bond equivalent yield, and effective annual return on a $4 million commercial paper issue that curre

ddd [48]

Answer:

6.21%

Explanation:

Discount of the bond can be calculated by subtracting the purchase price of the bond from the face value. Discount Yield is the ratio of discount on the bond to the future value of the bond.

Discount Yield = [(F - P)/F] x [360/t]

Where

F = Face Value = $1,000 ( assumed)

P = Present value = $1,000 x 97.5% = $975

t = 145 days

Placing the value in the formula

Discount Yield = [($1,000 - $975)/$1,000] x [360/145] = 0.0621 = 6.21%
