The sum of the fixed and variable production costs is a company’s
elena-s [515]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: d. total costs

<h2>Why?</h2>

The total costs are the sum of all the costs needed to produce a good or a service. It includes both fixed and variable production costs to show us the measure of a total cost.

We can calculate the total costs using the following formula:

TotalCosts(TC)=FixedCosts(FC)+VariableCosts(VC)

Fixed costs are all the constant costs. Fixed costs can be the salary of its workers (since they are based in hours worked), structure and good/actives insurance, taxes among others.

Variable costs are all the costs that can change thru the time, depending on the production volume. For example, if the production increases, the variable costs will increase too, also, if the production decreases, the variable costs will decrease too.

Have a nice day!

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The present worth of this investment = -$31,204.78

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the present worth of this investment (in bold red color).

In the attached excel file, the following are used:

Loan from bank = Purchase price * (1 / 4) = $130,000 * (1 / 4) = $32,500

Initial cost = Purchase price - Loan from bank = $130,000 - $32,500 = $97,500

The annual required equal loan payments is calculated using the formula for calculating loan amortization as follows:

P = (A * (r * (1 + r)^n)) / (((1 + r)^n) - 1) .................................... (1)

Where,

P = Annual required equal loan payment = ?

A = Loan amount from bank = $32,500

r = interest rate = 12%, or 0.12

n = number of payment years = 3

Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:

P = Annual required equal loan payment = ($32,500 * (0.12 * (1 + 0.12)^3)) / (((1 + 0.12)^3) - 1) = $13,531.34

From the attached excl file, the present worth of this investment is equal to -$31,204.78

Which of the following is not typical of traditional costing systems? Use of direct labor hours or direct labor cost to assign o
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is use of multiple cost drivers to allocate overhead

Explanation:

Use of direct labor hours or direct labor cost to assign overhead to products is typical  of traditional costing systems as overhead is believed to have positive relationship with labor-related variables.

Besides,using a business-wide or plant-wide single predetermined overhead rate is not feature of traditional systems of costing.

Since labor-related variables such as direct labor hours or direct labor cost is assumed to be a driver of overhead cost,hence an appropriate overhead absorption basis,it is perfectly understood that there is correlation between direct labor and incurrence of overhead cost in the business.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

a. $5,194,000

b. $7,715,000

Explanation:

a. Book Value of assets = Book value of fixed assets + book value of current assets

Book Value of assets = Book value of fixed assets + (Current Liabilities + Net working capital)

Book Value of assets = $4,200,000 + ($850,000 + $144,000)

Book Value of assets = $5,194,000

b. Sum of market value = $7,600,000 + ($965,000 - $850,000)

Sum of market value = $$7,600,000 + $115,000

Sum of market value = $7,715,000

Shtirlitz [24]
