Answer:

B. 20,904

Explanation:

For computing the additional pens first we have to determine the contribution per unit which is shown below:

Revenue $500,000

Less: Plastic cost -$200,000

Less: ink cost -$1,000

Contribution margin $299,000

Divided by Number of units sold ($500,000 ÷ $2) $250,000

Contribution per unit $1.196

Now the additional pens required is

= $25,000 ÷ $1.196

= $20,904

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Profit will increase by 5,975

Explanation:

From past year we can see that total variable cost will be:

Direct Material+Direct Labor+Variable Over head.

Total Variable Cost =100,000+20% of 20,000

Total Variable costs = 100,000+4000= 104,000

Per Unit Variable cost = Total Variable cost/Total Unit Produced

Per Unit Variable Cost = 104,000/16,000 = 6.5

If Benjamin accepts the offer results will be:

Sale (4,500*8.05) 36,225

Variable Cost (4,500*6.5) (29,250)

Incremental Fixed cost (650)

Incremental admin

and selling cost (350)

Virty [35]

Answer:

Letter A is correct.<u> </u><em><u>Unsystematic</u></em><em> </em>risk.

Explanation:

Unlike systematic risk, which is an inherent market risk, unsystematic risk is inherent in a specific sector or company.

The case in point concerns the investment of former AlphaEnergy employees, which is a unsystematic risk, as the investment risk in single-company shares includes regulatory changes, management changes, loss of market due to competition and withdrawal of the product from the market.

To reduce this type of risk, investors should seek diversification in their stock portfolio.

Kruka [31]

Question:

For an economy starting at potential output, a decrease in autonomous expenditure in the short-run results in a(n):

A. increase in potential output

B. recessionary output gap

C. decrease in potential output

D.  expansionary output gap

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

A decrease in autonomous expenditure shifts the Planned Aggregate Expenditure curve downward thus creating a lower equilibrium output.

PAE = C + Ip + G + NX

where

PAE  = Planned Aggregate Expenditure

C = consumption

Ip = Investment Spending

G = Government Spending

NX =  Net Export

If an economy has its output equal to its potential, this will create a reduction in short-run equilibrium output leading to a recessionary output gap.

Cheers!

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

WACC = Ke(E/V) + Kd(D/V)(1-T)  + Kp(P/V)

WACC = 15(60/100) + 5(30/100)(1-0.3) + 10(10/100)

WACC = 9 + 1.05 + 1

WACC = 11.05%

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital is a function of cost of common stock and the proportion of common stock in the capital structure plus after-tax cost of debt and proportion of debt in the capital structure plus cost of preferred stock and the proportion of preferred stock in the capital structure.  Ke = Cost of equity or common stock, kd = cost of debt and kp = cost of preferred stock.
