Answer:

B)The cost of energy for a company can be both a fixed cost and a variable cost.

Explanation:

Energy is a fixed cost because it is an utility that companies have to pay regardless of the level of production; they need energy to function.

Energy is a variable cost because energy is an input to production, and the amount of energy used (and hence its cost) can vary a lot depending on how much output is produced. In the question, ethanol is referenced, which is also a type of variable cost, because it is an energy source that depends on another input (corn), and its used as a substitue for gasoline.

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

$18

Explanation:

Since the manufacturer sold twice as many units of Q than P, that means it at least sold 1 unit of P and 2 units of Q.

to determine the arithmetic mean (average) revenue per unit:

total revenue = P + 2Q = $20 + (2 x $17) = $20 + $34 = $54

arithmetic mean (average price) = $54 / 3 = $18

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

We will consider positive interest rate which is i=0.21 or i=21%

Explanation:

The formula for Future value is:

FV=PV(1+i)^n

The present value will become:

PV=FV(1+i)^{-n}

where:

n is the number of years

Since the condition is same present value,so the given data form the equation:

6000+5940(1+i)^{-1}=12000(1+i)^{-1/2}

Divide above equation by (1+i)^{-1}

6000(1+i)+5940=12000(1+i)^{1/2}

Let z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\. Above equation will become:

6000z^2+5940=12000z

Rearranging above equation:

5940-12000z+6000z^2=0

Solving the quadratic equation:

z=1.1,    z=0.9

Let z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\ will become:

z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\\\z^2=1+i

i=z^2-1

For z=1.1

i=(1.1)^2-1\\i=0.21

For z=0.9

i=(0.9)^2-1\\i=-0.19

we will consider positive interest rate which is i=0.21 or i=21%

= 17 - 11.23 - 0.90

= $4.87

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Ana Co.

Sales                            $500,000        

Accounts Receivable    $40,000      

Allowance for doubtful accounts   $300  Credit

Bad Debts Expense = 2 % of $ 40,000=   $  800          

The adjusting entry would be

Bad Debts Expense $ 800 Dr.

Allowance for doubtful accounts   $800  Credit    

As we already have a credit balance of $ 300 in the doubtful accounts we will increase it with an amount of $ 500.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $ 500 Debit

Account Receivable                     $ 500 Credit
