Answer:

$33,000

Explanation:

The calculation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per machine hour by using high low method is shown below:

Variable cost per hour = (High manufacturing overhead cost - low manufacturing overhead cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low machine hours)

= ($198,000 - $153,000) ÷ (110,000 hours - 80,000 hours)

= $45,000 ÷ 30,000 hours

= $1.5

Now the fixed cost is

= High manufacturing overhead cost - (High machine hours × Variable cost per hour)

= $198,000 - (110,000 hours × $1.5)

= $198,000 - $165,000

= $33,000

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

A. $36.55

B. 5116 units

C. 7114 units

Explanation:

Requirement 1: Weighted average contribution margin per unit

Lens A = $38 x 25% = $9.5

Lens B = $30 x 40% = $12

Lens C = $43 x 35% = $15.05

Total Contribution margin per unit = $36.55

Requirement 2: Breakeven if fixed cost is $187,000

Break even point (units) = Fixed cost / Contribution per unit

Break even point (units) = 187,000/36.55

Break even point (units) = 5116 units

Lens A = 5116 x 25% =  1279 units

Lens B = 5116 x 40% = 2046 units

Lens C = 5116 x 35% = 1791 units

Requirement 3: How many units to be sold to generate $73,000 profit

Required units = Fixed cost - required profit / contribution per unit

Required units = ($187,000-$73,000)/$36.55

Required units = 7114 units

Lens A = 7114 x 25% =  1779 units

Lens B = 7114 x 40% = 2846 units

Lens C = 7114 x 35% = 2489 units

6. Limitations of GDP Although GDP is a reasonably good measure of a nation's output, it does not necessarily include all transa
jekas [21]

Answer:

a.

  • The quality of goods available to consumers
  • The costs of air and water pollution
  • The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government

b. investment; decreases; no overall change

Explanation:

a. GDP only measures goods that have monetary value so when a good cannot be properly quantified in terms of cash, it is difficult to account for it in GDP. Also, even if the good has monetary value for the Government was unaware of it, they will be unable to use it in the calculation of GDP.

For these reasons, the quality of goods available to consumers, the costs of air and water pollution and the value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government will not be a part of GDP calculation.

b.<em> When a U.S. company purchases and imports wood from Brazil to use to build new houses within the United States, this purchase increases the </em><em><u>investment</u></em><em> component of GDP while also </em><em><u>decreasing</u></em><em> net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of wood from Brazil causes </em><em><u>no overall change </u></em><em>in US GDP. </em>

Purchasing raw materials for use in production is considered Investment by GDP. However, since it was imported it will reduce Net Exports which means that the transaction would cancel itself out in the GDP calculation as it would both increase investment and decrease Net exports by the same amounts.
