Answer:
$0.07
Explanation:
Given that
Initial price = 4800
Current price = 5500
Initial quantity = 5000
Current quantity = 15000
Recall that
Marginal cost = (change in price) ÷ (change in quantity)
Thus
MC = (5500 - 4800) ÷ (15000 - 5000)
= 700 ÷ 10000
= $0.07
Note that, marginal cost refers to the extra cost added in producing 1 additional unit of product or output
Answer: 7 cent
Explanation:
The term marginal cost refers to the additional cost incurred by producing one more unit of a good or service. Therefore, marginal cost is the change in the total cost of an item when the output increases by a unit.
In the scenario above,
Cost of printing 5000 postcards = $4,800
Cost to print 15000 post cards = $5,500
Tha marginal cost per postcard for the additional 10,000 postcards will be :
Change in total cost :
$5,500 - $4,800 = $700
Change in quantity :
15,000 - 5,000 = 10,000
Marginal cost per unit :
$700 / 10,000 = $0.07
$0.07 = 7 cent
Marginal cost per unit = 7 cent
Collection of a $1,000 Accounts Receivable A. decreases a liability $1,000; increases stockholders' equity $1,000. B. has no effect on total assets. C. increases an asset $1,000; decreases stockholder's equity $1,000. D. increases an asset $1,000; decreases a liability $1,000.
Answer:
B. has no effect on total assets.
Explanation:
Both cash and accounts receivable are assets. When a sale is made on credit, the entries required are debit accounts receivable and credit revenue.
On receipt of cash, debit cash and credit accounts receivable.
Hence the collection of a $1,000 Accounts Receivable will have no effect on total assets as one asset was credited ( a reduction) while the other was debited(an increase) by the same amount.
Answer:
B) has no effect on total assets.
Explanation:
When an account receivable is collected, the following journal entry should be made:
Dr Cash 1,000
Cr Accounts receivable 1,000
Since both cash and accounts receivable are current assets, that transaction doesn't affect liabilities or equity, and doesn't change total assets either. Cash will increase while accounts receivable will decrease.
Given the following account balances at year end, how much are total intangible assets on the balance sheet of Alisha Enterprises?
Sales revenue, $45,000,000;
Cash, $1,500,000;
Copyrights, $500,000;
Accounts receivable, $4,000,000;
Land, $15,000,000;
Equipment, $25,000,000;
Trademarks, $1,000,000; and Goodwill, $4,500,000.
The company also paid $2,000,000 for research & development during the current year.
a. $11,500,000
b. $7,500,000
c. $5,500,000
d. $9,500,000
Answer:$6000000
Explanation:
Given
Trademarks 1,000,000
Goodwill 4,500,000
Copyrights 500,000
Total 6,000,000
Total intangible assets is $6,000,000
Intangible assets are the assets which cannot be touched or seen. In the above example the copyrights, trademarks and goodwill are intangible assets. While sales revenue, cash, land, equipment, accounts receivables are tangible assets. The amount paid for research and development is also tangible assets in the future when they turn into patents, copyrights or trademark they become as intangible assets.
If the Federal Reserve adopts an expansionary monetary policy, A) interest rates fall and credit is tight. B) interest rates rise and credit is tight. C) interest rates rise and credit is abundant. D) interest rates fall and credit is abundant.
Answer: interest rates fall and credit is abundant.(D)
Explanation:
Monetary policy is the macroeconomic policy used by the central bank of a country to achieve its macroeconomic objective such as full employment, economic growth, price stability etc. It involves the use of money supply and interest rate to control the economy.
Expansionary monetary policy is when a central bank uses interest rate and money supply to stimulate the economy. This is done by increasing the money supply, and lowering the interest rates. This leads to increase in aggregate demand and also boosts economic growth.
Answer:
interest rates fall and credit is abundant
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve's monetary policy is one of the ways in which the U.S. government tries to regulate the nation's economy by controlling the money supply. It needs to balance economic growth with increasing inflation. If it adopts an expansionary monetary policy, it increases economic growth but also accelerates the rate of inflation. If it adopts a contractionary monetary policy, it seeks to reduces inflation but also inhibits growth
When the Federal Reserve decreases the reserve ratio, it lowers the amount of cash that banks are required to hold in reserves, allowing them to make more loans to consumers and businesses. This increases the nation's money supply and expands the economy
Monetary policy is the macroeconomic policy used by the central bank of a country to achieve its macroeconomic objective such as full employment, economic growth, price stability etc. It involves the use of money supply and interest rate to control the economy.
Expansionary monetary policy is when a central bank uses interest rate and money supply to stimulate the economy. This is done by increasing the money supply, and lowering the interest rates. This leads to increase in aggregate demand and also boosts economic growth.

Suppose the manager agrees to pay each employee a $50 bonus if they meet a certain goal. on a typical saturday, the oil-change facility will perform 35 oil changes between 10
a.m. and 12 p.m. treating this as a random sample, at what mean oil-change time would there be a 10% chance of being at or below? this will be the goal established by the manager.
Answer:
Incomplete question
First aspect of the question is typed below.
The shape of the distribution of the time required to get an oil change at a 20-minute oil-change facility
is unknown. However, records indicate that the mean time is 2l.2-minutes, and the standard deviation 3.5 minutes.
Explanation:
Employees bonus $50
35 oil changes between 10:00 am to 12:00pm
n = 35
10% changes
So, the z - score can be calculated using
z-score = InvNorm(0.10)
z-score = -1.28
So, given that,
Standard deviation is 3.5minutes
σ = 3.5 minutes
Mean time is 21.2 minutes
μx = 21.2 minutes
Then,
σx = σ / √n
σx = 3.5 / √35
σx = 0.5916 minutes
Then, Z score can be written as
Z = (x - μx) / σx
-1.28 = (x - 21.2) / 0.5916
Cross multiply
-1.28 × 0.5916 = x - 21.2
-0.7573 = x - 21.2
x = 21.2 - 0.7573
x = 20.443 minutes
There is a 10% chance of being at or below a mean oil-change time of 20.44 minutes
Ace Deliveries, a courier service provider, built a strong reputation over a short period of six months. Inundated with customers, the company decided to expand its fleet of vans and enlarge its delivery networks and to stop offering the discounts it was offering to some market segments. Because it was the holiday sales season, higher pricing made good business sense. The pricing Ace Deliveries is using is ______.
Answer:
both revenue-oriented and operations-oriented
Explanation:
revenue-oriented pricing can be understood the strategic price level that the producers set to maximize the amount of profit they earn. As it can be seen from the given passage, the company starts noticing more about the earnings, so that they decided to cut down on the discount offering to the customers and set higher price. By that, it can help raise the revenue of the company.
Meanwhile, operations-oriented pricing is price strategy that the company adopts to optimize productive capacity as well as the efficiency of the manufacturing procedure. This is indicated in the actions of expanding fleet of vans and enlarge delivery networks of the company to raise the productivity.

Scotts fertilizer has a 4-step program for lawn care. each step features a different product. scotts sells the fertilizer as a set containing one bag of each of the 4-step products. if scotts decided to sell each product individually rather than as a set, it would be an example of which pricing strategy? a. dumpingb. dynamic pricingc. minimal pricingd. underpricinge. unbundling
Answer: Unbundling
Explanation:
In general bundle offer means combining two or three small things together to form an offer product. While unbundling is the opposite of the bundling here one offer is split into two or three small things.
If the 4 step fertilizer products are sold together then the products are bundled. Here Scotts fertilizer firm plans to sell the 4step products each separately which is known as unbundling strategy. Through unbundling strategy the value is created for different customers without bringing a new product.
After AT&T was split up by government litigation into a number of different entities (i.e., local phone companies, a long-distance phone company, and a phone equipment manufacturer), what was the impact on competition in the phone market?
Answer:
increase in competition leading to greater innovation, more services, and lower prices
Explanation:
Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the impact was an increase in competition leading to greater innovation, more services, and lower prices. This most likely happened because by not controlling all aspects of a market it gave room for other company's to compete in individual sectors of that market.
Answer: See explanation below for answer.
Explanation: AT&T Inc. is an American multinational conglomerate holding company, with its headquarters at Whitacre Tower in Downtown Dallas, Texas.
The acronym AT&T stands for American Telephone and Telegragh. The company is known as the largest telecommunications company in the world, the largest provider of mobile telephone services in the United States, and it also provides the largest fixed telephone services in the United States through its subsidiary AT&T Communications.
A split up of such a company as large as this will result in an increase in competition which will lead to greater innovation by competitors, it will lead to more services, and it will further lower prices of products and services.
A firm decides to scale back its operations due to projections of slower demand. It will move from a large building to a smaller size office space. It will be paying less in total costs, although its costs per unit of output will be larger. The firm's average cost curve exhibits at these points
Question Options:
constant returns to scale.
diseconomies of scale.
rising fixed costs.
economies of scale.
Answer: ECONOMIES OF SCALE.
Explanation: Economies of scale in business refers to the characteristics of a production process in which an increase in the scale of the firm causes a decrease in the long run average cost of each unit. Here, production is efficient and the best value is received from the resources available thereby making costs per unit of output will be larger.
Answer:
hi your question lacks the required option here are the options
constant returns to scale. dis economies of scale. rising fixed costs. economies of scale.Answer : economies of scale
Explanation:
The Firm's average cost curve will exhibit at the point of economies of scale. economies of scale is the advantage enjoyed by business when they scale up (increase their scale of operation ) the advantage is that the cost per unit of production decreased while when the firms scales back ( reduction in their scale of operation the costs per unit of output will be larger.
and this is due to the fact that the total fixed cost remains the same and this will negatively affect the Average fixed cost of the firm The firm scaling back will find its average cost curve exhibiting itself under the economies of scale.
A company has beginning inventory of 300 units at $ 5.25 each; They purchased 400 units at $ 6.00 each on June 2; On June 15, they also purchased 500 units at $6.75 each. A physical count of merchandise inventory at the end of the month revealed that 600 units were sold. What is the cost of goods sold using the weighted average inventory method?

When there is a full forward cover with the spot rate equal to the forward rate all of the following are true EXCEPT: A. The currency hedge ratio is equal to 1. B. The hedge is asymmetric. C. The total position is a perfect hedge. D. There is no uncovered exposure remaining.
Answer:
B. The hedge is asymmetric.
Explanation:
Hedging refers to a technique or a mechanism whereby firms and individuals aim for risk reduction, arising out of uncertain and volatile business situations, which may result into a heavy loss.
For example, an exporter entering into a forward contract to eliminate or reduce the risk of arising out of a future situation wherein, future receipts denominated in a foreign currency, receivable at a future date, may be less than same receipts receivable at current spot exchange rate as on today.
Currency hedge ratio depicts the proportion of total exposure which is covered by hedge w.r.t the total exposure itself.
Asymmetrical hedge refers to covering an exposure by an opposite position wherein the chances of earning profits are higher than the losses current position can lead to. Such an hedge would be similar to covering a call option with a put option. Asymmetrical refers to being of dissimilar or non equal size. Here, it refers to the dissimilarity between prospective profits and losses.
Under a perfect hedge, the loss position in a scenario is completely covered i.e 100% by a prospective gain in other situation, with there being negative correlation between the two scenarios such as if scenario 1 yields a profit, scenario 2 would yield a loss and vice versa.

Answer:
what problem occurs when money is not of a uniform quality?
People will hoard high-quality money and spend low-quality money. As a result, the money used in transactions will be of inferior quality.One of Isaac Newton's most popular inventions are the coin edge grooves. Before people would file metal coins to gather gold or silver dust that they would later melt. By adding edge grooves to the coins, that was reduced. Before when people traded with non-uniform coins, good coins were actually more valuable because they were not filed yet. If you had to choose which coins to use, you would always prefer to use the filed coins of inferior quality.
unlike pennies and nickels, which cost more to produce than they are worth, paper money and quarters are:

Brent, a single taxpayer, has a 24% marginal tax rate. He is considering an investment that will earn qualified dividends at a rate of 7% before tax. What is Brent's after-tax rate of return on the securities
Final answer:
Brent's after-tax rate of return on an investment earning 7% in qualified dividends, given his 24% marginal tax rate and 15% tax rate on qualified dividends, would be 5.95%.
Explanation:
To calculate Brent's after-tax rate of return on an investment earning qualified dividends at a pre-tax rate of 7%, we need to understand how dividends are taxed. Since Brent is in the 24% marginal tax bracket, his qualified dividends are likely taxed at a lower rate. In the U.S., for the year 2023, for example, individuals in the 24% marginal tax bracket are typically taxed at 15% on qualified dividends. Therefore, to compute the after-tax rate of return, we apply this 15% tax rate to the 7% return.
The calculation would look like this:
After-tax rate of return = Pre-tax rate of return × (1 - Tax rate on dividends)
After-tax rate of return = 7% × (1 - 0.15)
After-tax rate of return = 7% × 0.85
After-tax rate of return = 5.95%
Therefore, Brent's after-tax rate of return on the securities would be 5.95%.
Due to ____, market forces should realign the relationship between the interest rate differential of two currencies and the forward premium (or discount) on the forward exchange rate between the two currencies. forward realignment arbitrage triangular arbitrage covered interest arbitrage locational arbitrage
Answer:
Covered Interest Arbitrage
Explanation:
The Covered Interest Arbitrage is a term that refers to arbitrage trading approach in which a stockholder take the chance to gain advantage from the disparity in interest rate between two nations.
The trading strategy helps in its verifiability, quantifiability, consistency, and objectivity
It is designed to profit the investor from the differences in interest rates between two countries, when buying and selling foreign currencies.
When a market is small or there's a high level of competition, there's a possibility that the earnings on covered interest rate arbitrage won't yield much.
Answer: The options are given below:
a. forward realignment arbitrage
b. triangular arbitrage
c. covered interest arbitrage
d. locational arbitrage
The correct option is C. Covered Interest Arbitrage
Explanation: Covered interest arbitrage is a technique whereby an investor uses a forward contract to hedge against exchange rate risk. Covered interest rate arbitrage is the practice of using favorable interest rate differentials to invest in a higher-yielding currency, and hedging the exchange risk through a forward currency contract.
Covered interest arbitrage is possible if and only if the cost of hedging the exchange risk is lower than the additional return generated by investing in a higher-yielding currency - hence the word, arbitrage.
When there is a small market or there exists a high level of competition, then the possibility will occur that the earnings on covered interest rate arbitrage will not yield much.
The seller and the buyer agreed to a purchase price of $270,000 with the closing to occur on June 15. The seller's loan balance after the June 1 payment was $170,000. with an interest rate of 6%.The monthly payment was $1,800 principal and interest. What was the loan balance the day of closing, and how much interest did the seller owe the bank

Selection of an inventory costing method by management does not usually depend on
Answer:
THE FISCAL YEAR END.
Explanation:
Selection of an inventory costing method by management does not usually depend on THE FISCAL YEAR END
Answer:
The fiscal year end
Explanation:
Cost accounting information is designed for managers. Since managers are making decisions only for their own organization, there is no need for the information to be comparable to similar information from other organizations. Instead, the important criterion is that the information must be relevant for decisions that managers, operating in a particular environment of business including strategy, make. Cost accounting information is commonly used in financial accounting information, but first we are concentrating on its use by managers to take decisions. The accountants who handle the cost accounting information add value by providing good information to managers who are making decisions. Among the better decisions, is the better performance of one’s organization, regardless if it is a manufacturing company, a bank, a non-profit organization, a government agency, a school club or even a business school. The cost-accounting system is the result of decisions made by managers of an organization and the environment in which they make them.
The specific identification method of inventory costing attaches the actual cost to an identifiable unit of product. Firms find this method easy to apply when purchasing and selling large inventory items such as cars.

Campbell's has been marketing soup in Japan for more than 40 years. Early on, Japanese consumers were not receptive to ads featuring the Campbell Kids and the "M'm M'm Good" slogan. This compelled Campbell's to develop ads featuring a talking soup can known as "Mr. Campbell." Campbell's also developed soup varieties for Japan with fish as the main protein source and spices that reflect local preferences. As described here, which of the following strategies has Campbell's used in Japan:________.
a. product-communications extension.
b. product extension-communications adaptation.
c. product adaptation-communications extension.
d. product-communication adaptation.
e. product invention.
Answer:
D, product-communication adaptation
Explanation:
Product adaptation can be defined as the process of modifying a product to make it useful for a variety of users.
Communication adaptation can also be defined as the change in a product's communication as a result of a change in product strategy.
Product-communication adaptation can be defined as the modification of a product for a variety of users but ensuring that the marketing of the product is through standard communication channels.
In the case of Campbell adapted his product to look like M'm M'm Good product but ensured that he used a standard communication channel (ads) to market his product.
Cheers.
Final answer:
Campbell's approach in Japan can be classified as product adaptation (creating new soup varieties) with communications extension (using a new character while retaining core brand messages).
Explanation:
In this scenario, Campbell's utilized a product adaptation-communications extension strategy. This approach involves making alterations to the core product so that it better fits with local tastes and preferences, which is exactly what Campbell's did by creating new soup varieties that had fish as the main protein source and incorporated local spices in their recipes for the Japanese market. Simultaneously, they continued to leverage the brand's traditional value proposition through a new advertising character, 'Mr. Campbell,' rather than changing their brand messaging which aligns with the 'communications extension' aspect. Option c is correct .
This strategy contrasts with product invention, which would entail creating an entirely new product specifically for the local market, or communication adaptation, which would require modifying the promotional message to match local cultural nuances.
Gertrude Kelp owns three boats that participate in commercial fishing for fresh Pacific salmon off the coast of Alaska. As part of her business she hires a captain and several crew members for each boat. In the market for fresh Pacific salmon, there are thousands of firms like Gertrude's. While Gertrude usually catches a significant number of fish each year, her contribution to the entire harvest of salmon is negligible relative to the size of the market. If the price of fresh Pacific salmon were to decrease significantly, it is most likely that Gertrude would:________.
A. hire more crew members.
B. reduce her demand for crew members.
C. become a seller in at least one factor market.
D. hire more boats.
Answer: B. reduce her demand for crew members.
Explanation: The fact that, in spite of Gertrude's significant harvest, it still has a negligible contribution to the salmon market highlights the competitiveness of the salmon market and as such Gertrude has no say or influence on the market market price of salmon.
Therefore, If the price of fresh pacific salmon were to decrease, Gertrude would most likely have to reduce it's demand for crew members so as to cut the variable cost of production(labor) , hence, stabilizing the difference in cost of production and revenue.
