Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": sales minus costs of intermediate goods.
Explanation:
Value Added is used to describe the extra something a company does to a product that makes it worth more than the cost of its underlying parts. For economists, value-added is the <em>difference between the gross revenue for an industry</em> (sales) <em>and the sum of the labor, materials, and services </em>(intermediate goods) <em>purchased to produce the goods that generated the revenue.</em>

Question:
Eagle Life Insurance Company pays its employees $.30 per mile for driving their personal automobiles to and from work. The company reimburses each employee who rides the bus $100 a month for the cost of a pass. Tom, in his Mazda 2-seat Roadster, collected $100 for his automobile mileage, and Mason received $100 as reimbursement for the cost of a bus pass.
a. What are the effects of the $100 reimbursement on Tom's and Mason's gross income?
b. Assume that Tom and Mason are in the 24% marginal tax bracket and the actual before-tax cost for Tom to drive to and from work is $0.30 per mile. What are Tom's and Mason's after-tax costs of commuting to and from work?
Explanation:
a.
For Tom:
He is required to include the $100 in gross income therefore, he would have to pay after-tax cost on the reimbursement.
For Mason:
He is not required to include the $100 in gross income due to qualified transportation fringe.
b.
For Tom:
Marginal tax = 24%
The after-tax cost of commuting = 0.24*$100 = $24
The before-tax cost of commuting = $0 (since he was reimbursed)
For Mason:
The after-tax cost of commuting = $0
The before-tax cost of commuting = $0 (since he was reimbursed)
Answer:
= $560,000
Explanation:
Given that:
- -Beginning PBO: 500,000
- -Current Service Cost: 50,000
- -Discount Rate: 6% => interest cost = 500,000*6% = 30,000
- -Contributions by Pernell: 40,000
- -Benefits paid to employees 25,000
- -Loss on PBO: 5,000
As we know that service cost; gains and losses; payments to retired employees; prior service cost; interest cost; payments to employees are factors that change the balance of the PBO
So the ending balance of the PBO will be:
Beginning PBO + Current Service Cost + Interest cost Loss on PBO -Benefits paid to employees
$500,000 + $50,000+ $30,000+$5,000-$25,000
= $560,000
Answer:
Make-to-order manufacturing.
Explanation:
Different Production Types:
-Make to Stock
-Make to Order (MTO)
MTO is a production approach where products are not built until a confirmed order for products is received. Customers highly customized requests can be satisfied and reconnect the value chain to the customer.
Process characteristics:
-Each order is specific, cannot be stored in advance
-Process manger needs to maintain sufficient capacity
-Variability in both arrival and processing time
-Role of capacity rather than inventory
Answer:
Bellisima's opportunity cost to produce 1 bushel of corn = 2 pairs of jeans
Explanation:
Bellisima uses 1 million hours of labor to produce corn and 3 million hours of labor to produce jeans. Produces 8 million bushels of corn and 48 million pairs of jeans.
- Production of corn per million hours of labor = 8 / 1 = 8 bushels of corn
- Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 48 / 3 = 16 pairs of jeans
Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor to produce corn and 1 million hours of labor to produce jeans. Produces 15 million bushels of corn and 20 million pairs of jeans.
- Production of corn per million hours of labor = 15 / 3 = 5 bushels of corn
- Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 20 / 1 = 20 pairs of jeans
The opportunity cost refers to the extra costs or benefits lost form choosing one activity or investment over another alternative.
- Bellisima's opportunity cost to produce 1 bushel of corn = 16 pairs of jeans / 8 bushels of corn = 2 pairs of jean per bushel of corn.
- Bellisima's opportunity cost to produce 1 pair of jeans = 8 bushels of corn / 16 pairs of jeans = 0.5 bushels of corn per pair of jean.
- Felicidad's opportunity cost to produce 1 bushel of corn = 20 pairs of jeans / 5 bushels of corn = 4 pairs of jean per bushel of corn.
- Felicidad's opportunity cost to produce 1 pair of jeans = 5 bushels of corn / 20 pairs of jeans = 0.25 bushels of corn per pair of jean.
