Answer:
$15
Explanation:
The computation of the average fixed cost is shown below:
As we know that
Average fixed cost is
= Total fixed cost ÷ Quantity
where,
Total fixed cost is
= Total cost - total variable cost
= $1,200 - $200 × 3
= $1,200 - $600
= $600
And the quantity is 40 products
So, the average fixed cost is
= $600 ÷ 40
= $15
Compute the MIRR statistic for Project I and note whether to accept or reject the project with the cash flows shown as follows if the appropriate cost of capital is 15 percent. Project I
Answer:
13%
Explanation:
The computation of MIRR is shown below:-
=MIRR({-1000;400;300;200;300;50},15%,15%)
= 12.666%
or
= 13%
Since the MIRR is 12.67% and the appropriate cost of capital is 15% so the project should be rejected as it is less than the cost of capital

If a perfectly competitive firm finds that the price exceeds its ATC, then the firm A. will lower its price to increase its economic profit. B. is earning zero economic profit. C. will raise its price to increase its economic profit. D. is earning an economic profit. E. is incurring an economic loss.
Answer:
D. is earning an economic profit
Explanation:
When the price exceeds its average total cost (ATC) so the perfectivity competitive firm would be earned the positive economic profit in the short run
As we know that
Profit = Total revenue - Total cost
= PQ - ATC ×Q
= Q × (P - ATC)
Now if the price is more than the ATC so it would lead to positive profits
Hence, d option is correct
An increase in the money supply will: Group of answer choices increase interest rates and increase the equilibrium GDP. lower interest rates and increase the equilibrium GDP. increase interest rates and lower the equilibrium GDP. lower interest rates and lower the equilibrium GDP.
Answer:
Option B, lower interest rates and increase the equilibrium GDP.
Explanation:
Option B is correct because the increase in the money supply will reduce the interest rate and increase the real GDP or output on the country because the rise in the money supply will results in more money in the hand of people. Therefore, more investment and production will be done in the economy. Thus, a rise in the production of output in the economy will result in the rise of GDP
Becky is offered the two deals below. Deal 1: She will get a quarter on the first day of the week. Each day thereafter for one week, she will receive double what she received on the previous day. Deal 2: She will get $4 each day for 1 week. Which statement is true in every aspect regarding these two deals
Answer:
She should go with deal 1 is greater than by $3.75.
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As in the first deal we have shown in a geometric sequence
We can represent Deal 1 as a geometric sequence:
[tex]g_n=0.25(2)^{n-1}[/tex]
where,
The 0.25 = first term,
2 = common ratio (as it doubles every day)
and n = the term number.
Now for determining the total money amount, first we have to calculate the sum
i.e
[tex]\Sigma_{n=1}^7(0.25)(2)^{n-1}[/tex]
After solving this,
we get 31.75.
Now for Deal 2
It could be shown as
4(7) = 28.
So as we can see that the deal 1 is greater than Deal 2
If the dollar appreciates, perhaps because of speculation or government policy, then U.S. net exports Group of answer choices increase which shifts aggregate demand right. increase which shifts aggregate demand left. decrease which shifts aggregate demand right. decrease which shifts aggregate demand left.
Answer: decrease which shifts aggregate demand left
Explanation:
Net exports is calculated when the value of a nation's total imports is deducted from the value of the nation's total exports.
When the dollar appreciates, perhaps because of speculation or government policy, then U.S. net exports decrease which shifts aggregate demand left. This is because due to the appreciation, goods that are made in other countries, that's the import will become cheaper and import rises while export reduces.

To support the manufacture of desktop computers for their customers, Dell needs to order all the parts that go into the computer, such as hard drives, motherboards, and memory modules. Obviously the demand for these items is driven by the production schedule for the computers. What is the term used to describe demand for these parts?
Answer:
Dependent demand.
Explanation:
In order to support the manufacture of desktop computers for their customers, Dell needs to order all the parts that go into the computer, such as hard drives, motherboards, and memory modules.
Hence, the term used to describe demand for these parts is dependent demand.
A dependent demand can be defined as the situation whereby the demand for a specific product or item occurs as a result of the demand for another product or item. The two products are known as the lower level or child item and the higher level or parent items.
This simply means that, the components that goes into a computer are the lower level or child items while the computer itself is the higher level or parent item.

Answer:
[tex]A = 598207\ cents[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
[tex]Principal, P = \$5000[/tex]
[tex]Rate, r = 3\%[/tex]
[tex]Time, t = 6\ years[/tex]
[tex]n = Quarterly =4[/tex]
Required
Determine the total amount
This can be calculated by using:
[tex]A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]
Substitute [tex]P = \$5000[/tex] [tex]r = 3\%[/tex] [tex]t = 6\ years[/tex] [tex]n =4[/tex]
So;
[tex]A = 5000 * (1 + \frac{3\%}{4})^{4* 6}[/tex]
Convert percentage to decimal
[tex]A = 5000 * (1 + \frac{0.03}{4})^{4* 6}[/tex]
[tex]A = 5000 * (1 + 0.0075)^{4* 6}[/tex]
[tex]A = 5000 * (1.0075)^{4* 6}[/tex]
[tex]A = 5000 * (1.0075)^{24}[/tex]
[tex]A = 5000 * 1.19641352939[/tex]
[tex]A = 5982.06764695[/tex]
Since 1 dollar is equivalent to cents, then the above in cents is;
[tex]A = 5982.06764695 * 100[/tex]
[tex]A = 598206.764695[/tex]
[tex]A = 598207\ cents[/tex] --- Approximated
An insurance company estimates its objective risk for 10,000 exposures to be 10 percent. Assuming the probability of loss remains the same, what would happen to the objective risk if the number of exposures were to increase to 1 million? A) It would decrease to 1 percent. B) It would decrease to 5 percent. C) It would remain the same. D) It would increase to 20 percent.
Answer:
A) It would decrease to 1 percent.
Explanation:
Given that:
Objective risk for 10,000 exposures = 10%
The objective risk could be explained to mean the actual loss incurred within a given period. The objective risk also decreases as the sample increases, in this case as the number of exposure increases, the exposure risk decreases.
In th question above, with an exposure value of 10,000; objective risk is 10%
When the exposure increases to 1,000,000
(10,000 / 1,000,000) * 100%
0.01 * 100%
= 1%
Sanchez Inc. reported the following on the company's cash flow statement for 20Y7: Net cash flow from operating activities $500,000 Net cash flow used for investing activities (200,000) Net cash flow used for financing activities 150,000 Thirty percent of the cash flow used for investing activities was used to purchase property, plant, and equipment. What is the free cash flow for 20Y7?
Answer: $440,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the net cash flow from operating activities is $500,000, the net cash flow used for investing activities is (200,000) and that the net cash flow used for financing activities 150,000. We are further told that thirty percent of the cash flow used for investing activities was used to purchase property, plant, and equipment.
The free cash flow for 20Y7 will be:
= $500,000 - ($200,000 × 30%)
= $500,000 - ($200,000 × 0.3)
= $500,000 - $60,000
= $440,000

Answer:
Fear appeal.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Life insurance companies like Prudential hope to get you to worry about how your loved ones will provide for themselves once you have passed away. In order to buttress their point, they paint a very gloomy picture of the possible consequences of not having life insurance, and they make a point of recommending that you act immediately because you never know when it is going to be too late. This is an example of a fear appeal.
A fear appeal can be defined as the act of persuading potential customers to change a risky behavior by highlighting adverse or negative consequences that may arise if they do not subscribe to a service or use a particular product. The main purpose of a fear appeal is to cajole people into buying a product or using a service by using their fears as a motivation.
The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for ground beef has been estimated to be 0.5. If mad cow disease strikes the United States and a large percentage of the cattle are removed from the market, how will that affect total expenditures on hamburger, all other things equal
Answer:
total expenditure would increase
Explanation:
the demand for ground beef is inelastic.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one.
As a result of the disease, the supply of ground beef would fall. this would lead to a hike in the price of ground beef. But since demand for ground beef is inelastic, the the fall in demand would be less than the rise in price, so total expenditures would rise.
a chord of a circle of radius 5cm subtains an angle of 70°at the centre.calculate the length of an arc
Answer:
[tex]Length = 6.11\ cm[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
[tex]\theta = 70\°[/tex]
[tex]Radius, r = 5cm[/tex]
Required
Determine the length of the subtended arc
Length of an arc is calculated by;
[tex]Length = \frac{\theta}{360} * 2\pi r[/tex]
Substitute [tex]\theta = 70\°[/tex] and [tex]r = 5cm[/tex]
[tex]Length = \frac{70}{360} * 2\pi *5[/tex]
[tex]Length = \frac{70* 2\pi *5}{360}[/tex]
[tex]Length = \frac{700 \pi}{360}[/tex]
Take π as 22/7
[tex]Length = \frac{700}{360} * \frac{22}{7}[/tex]
[tex]Length = \frac{700 * 22}{360 * 7}[/tex]
[tex]Length = \frac{15400}{2520}[/tex]
[tex]Length = 6.11\ cm[/tex]
Hence, the length of the arc is approximately 6.11 cm

Jack and Jill are the only two residents in a neighborhood, and they would like to hire a security guard. The value of a security guard is $50 per month to Jack and $90 per month to Jill. Irrespective of who pays the guard, the guard will protect the entire neighborhood and charge $120 per month for the service.Suppose Jack earns $4,000 per month and Jill earns $8,000 per month. a. With a proportional tax of 1 percent on income, how much would Jack and Jill pay, and would it be enough to pay for the security guard?
Answer:
Yes their combined contribution of $120 is sufficient to pay the security guard
Explanation:
This is a form of non-rival service that does not get reduced by consumption by one of the parties. The security guard protects the entire neighbourhood.
Also it is a non-excludable service. If one party does not pay he will still enjoy the service.
Based on their income information and the fact that they are taxed 1%
Jack will pay 0.01 * 4,000 = $40
Jill will pay 0.01 * 8,000 = $80
The total sum is 40 + 80 = $120
As the security guard requires $120 to do the job, their contribution is sufficient.
However the value to Jack is $50 and he pays $40 so he has an excess value of $10
Jill gets a value of $90 but pays $80, so she gets an excess value of $10
Wonderful! Not only did our salespeople do a good job in meeting the sales budget this year, but our production people did a good job in controlling costs as well.'' said Kim Clark, president of Martell Company. ''Our $14,800 overall manufacturing cost variance is only 2% of the $1.536.000 standard cost of products made during the year. That's well within the 3% parameter set by management for acceptable variances. It looks like everyone will be in line for a bonus this year.''The company produces and sells a single product. The standard cost card for the product follows:Standard Cost Card-per UnitDirect materials, 3.50 feet at $2.80 per foot $9.80Direct labor, 2.8 direct labor-hours at $12 per direct labor-hour 33.60Variable overhead, 2.8 direct labor-hours at $2.00 per direct labor-hour5.60Fixed overhead, 2.8 direct labor-hours at $6.00 per direct labor-hour 16.80Standard cost per unit $65.80The following additional information is available for the year just completeda. The company manufactured 20,000 units of product during the yearb. A total of 67,000 feet of material was purchased during the year at a cost of $3.00 per foot. All of this material was used to manufacture the 20,000 units. There were no beginning or ending inventories for the yearc. The company worked 58,000 direct labor-hours during the year at a direct labor cost of $11.80 per hour.d. Overhead is applied to products on the basis of standard direct labor-hours. Data relating to manufacturing overhead costs follow:Denominator activity level (direct labor-hours) 52,500Budgeted fixed overhead costs $315,000Actual variable overhead costs incurred $133,400Actual fixed overhead costs incurred $ 312,000Required1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the year. (Input all amounts as positive values. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting F for favorable, U for unfavorable and None for no effect).2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the year. (Input all amounts as positive values. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting F for favorable, U for unfavorable and None for no effect).3. For manufacturing overhead compute:a. The variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for the year. (Input all amounts as positive values. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting F for favorable, U for unfavorable and None for no effect).b. The fixed overhead budget and volume variances for the year. (Input all amounts as positive values. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting F for favorable, U for unfavorable and None for no effect).
Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of materials price and quantity variances for the year is shown below:-
Material price variance = Actual quantity × (Actual rate - Standard rate)
= 67,000 × ($3.00 - $2.80)
= 67,000 × $1.80
= $120,600 unfavorable
Material quantity variance = (Actual quantity - Standard quantity) × Standard price
= 67,000 - (20,000 × 3.50)) × $2.80
= (67,000 - 70,000) × $2.80
= $8,400 favorable
2. The computation of the labor rate and efficiency variances for the year is shown below:
Labor rate variance is
= (Actual rate - standard rate) × Actual hours
= ($11.80 - $12) × 58,000 direct labor hours
= $11,600 favorable
labor efficiency variance is
= (Actual hours - standard hours) × standard rate
= (58,000 direct labor hours - 20,000 units × 2.8 direct labor hours) × $12
= $24,000 unfavorable
3. a. The computation of variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for the year is shown below:-
variable overhead rate = Actual hours × (Actual rate - Standard rate)
= 58,000 × ($133,400 ÷ 58,000 - $2.00)
= $17,400 Unfavorable
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) × Standard rate
= (58,000 - (20,000 × $2.8)) × $2.00
= (58,000 - 56,000) × $2.00
= $4,000 Unfavorable
3. b. The computation of fixed overhead budget and volume variances for the year is shown below:-
fixed overhead budget variance = Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead
= $312,000 - $315,000
= $3,000 Favorable
Volume variance = (Standard hours allowed - Denominator activity level) × Fixed overhead rate per hour
= ((20,000 × $2.8) - 52,500) × $6.00
= $56,000 - 52,500) × $6.00
= $3,500 × $6.00
= $21,000

Suppose that sharply lower coffee prices lead to a decrease in the demand for tea. Tea price decreases, and the tea producers experience short-run economic losses. If the tea industry is a price-taker market, after sufficient time is allowed for the market to adjust fully to the decrease in the demand for tea, one would expect the tea industry's output to
Answer:
C)decline and economic losses to disappear.
Explanation:
here are the options to this question :
A)increase and economic losses to persist. B)decline and economic losses to persist. C)decline and economic losses to disappear. D)increase and economic losses to disappear
Coffee and tea are substitute goods. As a result, of the fall in price of coffee, the demand for tea would decrease. The decrease in price of tea would lead to an inward shift of the demand curve, assuming supply remains unchanged in the short run, equilibrium quantity would fall and equilibrium price would fall. this leads to firms in the tea industry experiencing economic losses.
In the long run, firms would exit the tea industry, output would reduce and economic losses would disappear

Lewis works in a marketing firm and is assigned a very energetic team however lately has not experienced much growth in his career what can he do to boost his career growth? A. always ask for more resources during difficult times. B. ask for a different team to work with. C. offer creative solutions to problems during team discussions. D. post derogatory messages about the company on social media.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The correct option would be to be offering creative solutions to problems during team discussions.
Offering creative solutions to problems will raise the general performance of the marketing team which will eventually rub off on the career of Lewis himself. The higher the performance of the marketing team, the more growth the career of Lewis would experience.
Asking for more resources or different teams to work with might not solve any problem and worse still, might not be sustainable. Posting derogatory messages about the company on social media is definitely a good way to go down career-wise.
Correct option: C.
Regulation SHO:________. I. requires every sell order to be marked either ""long sale"" or ""short sale"" II. requires every buy order to be marked either ""long purchase"" or ""short purchase"" III. places limits on ""naked"" short sales of equity securities IV. places limits on ""covered"" short sales of equity securities"
Answer:
I and III.
Explanation:
Regulation SHO is a securities and exchange commission (SEC) rule that is used to regulate "short sale" trading strategies. The main purpose of the "regulation sho" is to prevent unethical and fraudulent behaviors among brokers, investors and traders.
Regulation SHO;
1. Requires every sell order to be marked either "long sale" or "short sale" because it involves the application of a standard uniform rule to all equity securities short sales whether traded over the counter (OTC) or exchange listed.
2. Places limits on "naked" short sales of equity securities such as selling short and not delivering the sales to a short seller on settlement.
Hence, if a sales is short, it is assumed that it can be borrowed and delivered to a short seller by settlement on a specified date.
Additionally, short selling can be defined as an act of borrowing and sales of securities with the expectation that it will decrease in value and then returned to the lender.
