Answer: $14.5 million

Explanation:

The following information can be gotten from the question;

Total equipment cost = $4.2 million

Direct cost factor = 1.52

Indirect cos factor = 0.37

The total plant cost will then be calculated as:

= 4.2 × (1 + 1.52) × (1 + 0.37)

= 4.2 × 2.52 × 1.37

= 14.5

Therefore, the total plant cost is $14.5 million

Differential Analysis for a Discontinued Product A condensed income statement by product line for Healthy Beverage Inc. indicate
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Healthy Beverage Inc.

a) Differential Analysis

1) Continue Fruit Cola (Alt. 1)

Sales                            $12,750,000

Cost of goods sold         8,500,000

Gross profit                  $4,250,000

Operating expenses      6,000,000

Loss from operations ($1,750,000)

2) Discontinue Fruit Cola (Alt. 2)

Differential Effect on Income (Alternative 2):

Fixed costs:

Cost of goods sold        $2,125,000

Operating expenses          900,000

Income (Loss)               ($3,025,000)

b. Should Fruit Cola be retained ?

The production and sale of the Fruit Cola should be continued.  Discontinuing it would not save the company the incurrence of the fixed cost.

Explanation:

Differential analysis is a managerial accounting technique for analyzing the different costs and benefits that would arise from alternative solutions to a particular problem.

In the above scenario, discontinuing the production and sale of Fruit Cola would not save the company the fixed costs, so the product should be continued.  It is not the product that is causing the net loss but allocated fixed costs.  Fixed cost is a sunk cost that is not relevant in differential analysis type of decision making.

Klio2033 [76]

If the two nations trade, the trade price of wheat in terms of steel will be "greater than the domestic opportunity cost of wheat in alpha and less than the domestic opportunity cost of wheat in beta".

Opportunity cost speaks to the advantages an individual, financial specialist or business misses out while picking one option over another. While financial reports don't demonstrate opportunity cost, entrepreneurs can utilize it to settle on wise choices when they have different choices available to them.

MIT economist Jerry Housman has estimated the price elasticity of demand for Post Raisin Bran cereal to be -2.5 and the price el
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The demand for Post Raisin Brand cereal is: ELASTIC  

the demand for all types of breakfast cereals is: INELASTIC

Explanation:

To calculate the price elasticity of demand (PED) we can use the following formula:

PED = % change in quantity / % change in price

  • If PED > 1, the demand is price elastic
  • If PED = 1, the demand is price unitary
  • If PED < 1, the demand is price inelastic

*The PED always results in a negative number, e.g. price deceases, quantity increases, but for practical reasons we convert the negative number into a positive (we use absolute values) when we are determining the elasticity.

amm1812

Answer:

I suggest you delay your choice until you learn more of Zenith's current management

Explanation:

The management is just a position that doesn't carry the same character. Every manager carries different values and principles and one person might be satisfactory to you while another might not be. The new management may have some characters which might be off-putting to you and might ruin the company's conference. Best to go with what you know than what you don't.
