Answer:
d.the levels of activity for non-unit based cost drivers remain the same.
Explanation:
In the case of conventional and activity based costing calculations, the output should be similar to the activity levels that belong to the non-unit in which the cost driver should remain the same
Thus as per the given scenario, the option d is correct
And, the rest of the options seems incorrect
Answer: 17.5%
Explanation:
The equilibrium will occur where the money demanded equals to the money supplied i.e Ms = Md
From the question, the supply of currency by the Central Bank = 40
Money Supply (Ms) = m × B
where m = Money multiplier = 2.5
Note that the money multiplier can also be equal to 1/rr in situations wherebt the consumers do not hold any currency.
rr = reserve ratio, = 0.4
B = monetary base = 40
Note that the monetary base here is 40.
Since reserve ratio = 0.4, therefore
m = 1/0.4 = 2.5
Therefore, Ms = m × B
= 2.5 × 40
= 100
Thus Money supply Ms = 100.
Money demand(Md) = Y(0.3 - i),
Y = income = 800
i = interest rate
Since (Md) = Y(0.3 - i),
Md = 800(0.3 - i)
Equate the equation for the money demand and money supply together.
Ms = Md
100 = 800(0.3 - i)
100 = 240 - 800i
800i = 240 - 100
800i = 140
i = 140/800
i= 0.175
= 17.5%
Therefore, the interest rate is 17.5%
Answer:
Option 1 is wrong because in the case of multi-product, breakeven is weighted average which means the sales price will weighted average of sale prices of all the multi-products in the sales mix. If we change the weightings the weighted average costs and selling prices changes and so the contribution changes.
Option 2 is also sligthly wrong because Contribution margin per composite unit decreases if the volume of low contribution margin products increases in the sales mix. This means:
Breakeven Point=Fixed Cost/ Contribution per unit.........equartion 1
If the contribution per unit has been decreased the breakeven will rise.
Its impact depends upon the portfolio of products company is managing. It means it increases breakeven with high effects if the products in sales mix 2 to 3.
Option 3 is 100% right because equation 1 is
Breakeven Point=Fixed Cost/ Contribution per unit
Which says
If the contribution per unit has been decreased the breakeven will rise.
Option 4 is absolutely wrong because if we shift to higher volume in low contribution margin products, Contribution margin per composite unit decreases if the volume of low contribution margin products increases
which means Weighted average contribution has been decreased and as a result breakeven point according to equation 1 has been incresed.
