Answer:

Increase by $5,975

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the profit

First step is to calculate the Direct Material and Direct labor per unit

Direct Material and Direct labor per unit=$100,000/16,000

Direct Material and Direct labor per unit=$6.25

Second step is to calculate the Relevant Variable Overhead

Relevant Variable Overhead = 20,000 * 20%

Relevant Variable Overhead= $4,000

Third step is to calculate the

Relevant Variable Cost per unit = $4,000 / 16,000

Relevant Variable Cost per unit= $0.25

Fourth step is to calculate the Total Relevant Variable cost per unit

Total Relevant Variable cost per unit = $6.25 + $0.25

Total Relevant Variable cost per unit= $6.5

Fifth step is to calculate the Relevant Contribution Margin per unit

Relevant Contribution Margin per unit = $8.05 - $6.5

Relevant Contribution Margin per unit= $1.55

Sixth step is to calculate the Total Contribution

Total Contribution = 4,500 * $1.55

Total Contribution= $6,975

Now let calculate the profit using this formula

Profit = Contribution - Fixed Cost

Let plug in the formula

Profit = $6,975 - $650 - $350

Profit = $5,975

Therefore If Benjamin accepts the offer, its profits will:Increase by $5,975

Excel Memory Company can sell all units of computer memory X and Y that it can produce, but it has limited production capacity.
KiRa [710]

Answer:

1. Contribution Margin per production hour

Product X = $12, Product Y = $15

2. Allocate all production capacity to product Y to generate $60,000 contribution

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate The Contribution margin Per Production Hour

Product X,

= Contribution Margin per unit = $6

Number of Unit Produced in 1 hour= 2

Contrbution Per 1 Hour = $6 x 2 = $12

Product Y,

= Contribution Margin per unit = $5

Number of Unit Produced per  hour= 3 units

Contrbution Per  Hour = $5 x 3 = $15

Step 2: Calculate the Most Profitable Sales Mix

Option 1: Allocate all production capacity to product x

Number of Hours available = 4000 hours

Total Contribution = Contribution on hourly basis x total number of hours

Total Contribution = 12 x 4000= $48,000

Option 2: Allocate all production capacity to product Y

Number of Hours available = 4000 hours

Total Contribution = Contribution on hourly basis x total number of hours

Total Contribution = 15 x 4000= $60,000

Option 3: Allocate 40% of Capacity to Product X

Hours of total hours for product X = 40% x 4000 = 1600

Hours of toal hours for Product Y = 60% x 4000= 2400

Contribution therefore:

X= 12 x 1600= $19,200

Y= 15 x 2400= $36,000

Total Mix= $55,200

Option 4: Allocate 24% of Capacity to Product Y

Hours of total hours for product X = 76% x 4000 = 3040

Hours of toal hours for Product Y = 24% x 4000= 960

Contribution therefore:

X= 12 x 3040= $36,480

Y= 15 x 960= $14,400

Total Mix= $50,880

The Most Profitable Sales Mix is to allocate all Capacity to Product Y to generate $60,000

Sergio [31]

Answer:

The answer is "She saves \$7804 on the trip".

Explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

Given:

(P) =\$2500\\\\(n) =3 \ years\\\\(r) = 4\%\\\\ \text{compounding period in year}\ (m) =1\\

The formula for Effective annual rate = ((1+(\frac{r}{m}))^m)-1

                                                                 =((1+(\frac{4\%}{1}))^1)-1\\\\=((1+(\frac{4}{100}))^1)-1\\\\=((1+0.04)^1)-1\\\\=((1.04)^1)-1\\\\ =1.04-1\\\\ =0.04 \\\\ = 4\%\\\\

Its potential value of its rental formula is used to measure the value of the rental at the middle of the 3rd year

 The formula for the future annuity = P\times \frac{(((1+i)^n)-1)}{i}

                                                         =2500\times \frac{(((1+0.04)^3)-1)}{0.04}\\\\=2500\times \frac{(((1.04)^3)-1)}{0.04}\\\\=2500\times \frac{(1.124864-1)}{0.04}\\\\=2500\times \frac{0.124864}{0.04}\\\\=2500\times 3.1216\\\\=7804

A cement manufacturer has supplied the following data:
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

d. $2.10 per unit

Explanation:

Calculation for What is the company's unit contribution margin

First step is to calculate the Variable cost using this formula

Variable cost = Variable Manufacturing Expenses + Variable Selling & Administrative Expenses

Let plug in the formula

Variable cost = $297,000 + $165,000

Variable cost = $462,000

Second step is to calculate Total Contributiom Margin using this formula

Total Contributiom Margin=Sales – Variable Cost

Let plug in the formula

Total Contributiom Margin= $924,000 - $462,000

Total Contributiom Margin= $462,000

Now let calculate Unit Contribution Margin using this formula

Unit Contribution Margin= Total Contribution Margin/Total number produced and sold cement

Let plug in the formula

Unit Contribution Margin = $462,000 / 220,000 Unit Contribution Margin= $2.10 per unit

Therefore the Unit Contribution Margin will be $2.10 per unit

Suppose the dollar appreciates relative to foreign currencies. If U.S. firms have domestic content below 100%, the harm to domes
inn [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is: If U.S. firms have domestic content below 100%, the harm to domestic firms is less than the harm if U.S. producers had domestic content of 100%.

Explanation:

This strength of the dollar, which is reflected in exchange rates, has negative and positive implications at the same time for any economy.

What benefits one sector damages the purchasing power of another.

If it is good for those who receive remittances, it is bad for those who want to travel or do business abroad.

Businesses and governments also have to deal with a phenomenon that affects all aspects of the economy.

Importing oil or gas, repaying debt or contracting services abroad can cost more or less depending on exchange rates.

In general terms, that a currency depreciates against the dollar if it has a very intensive international trade with the United States, as is the case in Mexico, causes its economy to be more competitive and drives growth.

This is because American consumers can compare cheaper products made in Mexico.

So in terms of growth, this is a positive effect of the depreciation of a currency and the strength of the dollar.

The increases in interest rates made by the Federal Reserve, the body in charge of dictating the course of monetary policy in the United States, have led to a progressive general strengthening of the dollar against all currencies.

When the US central bank cuts interest rates, it encourages banks to lend more and put more money in the hands of citizens and businesses. And the opposite happens when, as now, the rates rise. Banks lend less and the dollar appreciates.
