Answer:

Contribution margin per unit: $42.9

Total contribution margin: $8,580

Explanation:

The contribution margin per unit is calculated by calculating the total contribution margin, which is basically the total sales, minus the costs of production, in this cae we have that we sold:

60 regular chairs

140 executive charis

Now the total in sales is:

Regular sales: $6,000

Executive chairs: $23,800

The variable cost of each is:

Regular chairs: $3720

Executive chairs: $17,500

We add up the sales and withdraw from it the total variable cost:

29,800-21,220=8,850

The total contribution margin is equal to $8850.

And the contribution margin per unit is given by dividing the total contribution margin by the number of units sold:

8850/200=  42.9

So the contribution margin per unit is 42.9 dollars.

First Financial Auto Loan Department wishes to know the payment required at the first of each month on a $10,500, 48-month, 11%
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

First Financial would divide the $10,500 loan by the present value of annuity due of 1.

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

Present value of annuity formula is used for determining the amount                   of loan payment. Since the payments will be made at the beginning of each month, we will apply the formula for present value of annuity due. In order to determine the amount of monthly payment, we will divide the principal by the present value of annuity due of 1.

Marginal cost is calculated for a particular increase in output by A. multiplying the total cost by the change in output. B. div
Alina [70]

Answer:

B) dividing the change in total cost by the change in output

Explanation:

Marginal cost(MC) is the cost incurred as a result of producing additional units of goods and services. It is calculated by dividing a change in total cost by a change in output.

That is,

Marginal cost(MC)= change in total cost(TC)/ change in output

Total cost(TC): This is the addition of fixed and variable cost in production.

Total cost(TC)= fixed cost (FC)+variable cost (VC)

Fixed cost (FC) are cost that doesn't change during the production process such as buildings, machineries and furniture.

Variable cost (VC) are cost that changes or are used up during production process such as raw materials.
