Answer:

$5.5

Explanation:

The fixed cost of equipment = $10,000

Let the variable cost per unit be = $x

Total units that can be sold per year =  5,000

Total variable cost for all the units = $x × 5,000

                                                         = $5,000x

Total revenue per year:

= $7.50 × 5,000

= $37,500

To achieve at least break even point, the total must be at least 0.

Total profit = Total revenue - Total cost

0 = $37,500 - ($10,000 + $5,000x )

5,000x = $37,500 - $10,000

x = $5.5

Hence the highest variable cost per unit can be $5.5 for the firm to at least break even on the project.

Trevor always begins the day with a strawberry milkshake (milk (x1 ) and strawberries(x2) mixed in proportion 1:5). His income i
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Going by the question that the proportion of milk and strawberry for milk shake is 1:5.

If amount of milk is to be X1 that means the quantity of strawberry (X2) will be 5×X1, i.e., X2=5X1... Equation 1

And in addition, the milk and strawberry are complementary consumables as strawberry is of no use without milk and vice versa.

Budget equation will be as follows:

P1×X1+P2×5X1=M.... Equation 2

Given M=200, P1=15 & P2=1

Putting values in Equation 2

15×X1+1×5X1=200

X1=10 & X2=50(from equation 1)

Answer a)

With change in P1 from 15 to 5

Again putting values in Equation 2

5×X1+1×5X1=200

X1=20 & X2=100.

The total change in the demand of milk will increase from 10 units to 20 units.

Answer b)

Strawberry and milk are complementary goods here for that reason there would be no effect on substitution.

Answer c)

Since there will be no effect on substitution, total effect will be equal to income effect.

Chapter 3 Homework Questions 3, 4 3. Balance Sheet. Construct a balance sheet for Sophie’s Sofas given the following data. What
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

<u>BALANCE SHEET</u>

Assets                                            Liabilities

Cash                           10,000        Account Payable     17,000

Account Receivable 22,000        Long term               170,000

Inventory                 200,000       Total Liab                187,000

non-current assets  100,000        Equity                      145,000 (A)

total assets              332,000     Total liab + SE         332,000

Earnings before interest and taxes: 11,000 dolllars

Net income 8,000

Explanation:

(A) solve through the accounting equation

assets = laib + equity

332,000 = 187,000 + Equity  = 332,000 - 187,000 = 145,000

Q4

income tax expense: 2,000

rate 20%

Earnings before taxes x 20% = 2,000

EBT = 2,000 / 0.2 = 10,000

Net income : 10,000 - 2,000 = 8,000

EBIT: EBT + interest expense

10,000 + 1,000 = 11,000

Given a prior forecast demand value of 1,100, a related actual demand value of 1,000, and a smoothing constant alpha of 0.3, wha
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

1,030

Explanation:

Calculation for what is the exponential smoothing forecast value

Exponential smoothing forecast value = 1,000 + 0.3 x (1,100-1,000)

Exponential smoothing forecast value = 1,000 + 0.3 x (100)

Exponential smoothing forecast value = 1,000 + 30

Exponential smoothing forecast value= 1,030

Therefore the exponential smoothing forecast value will be 1,030

If Dominion Bank also pays 3.25% annual interest, compounded daily. If you had the following deposits and withdrawals, calculate
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

It would have earned 15.91 dollars of interest

Explanation:

We will calcualte for compounding at each moment:

First, we will calculate for $6,500 for March 1st to March 15th:

Then, from March 16th to march 27th we calculate for $5,000 + accrued interest of the peri

and from March 28th to 31th we calcualte $5,700 + accrued interest

Principal (1 + \frac{r}{m} )^{n \times m} = Amount

n  = 15/365 days

m = 365

r   = 0.0325

6,500 (1 + \frac{0.0325}{365} )^{15/365 \times 365} = Amount

6508.69

Then we withdraw 1,500

And we calcualte for hte period marchth to March 27th for the currnet value: 5,008.69

5,008.69 (1 + \frac{0.0325}{365} )^{11/365 \times 365} = Amount

Amount: 5,013.60

Then we deposit 700 and calcualte the rest of the month:

5,713.60 (1 + \frac{0.0325}{365} )^{11/365 \times 365} = Amount

Amount: 5,715.64

We  can now calcualtethe interest earned:

6,508.96 - 6,500     =  8.96

5,013.60 - 5,008.69 =   4.91

5,715.64 - 5,713.60  =    2.04

        total interest  =  15.91

A 10 percent increase in income leads to a 15% decrease in the quantity of macaroni and cheese demanded but no change in the pri
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Macaroni and cheese is an inferior good.

Explanation:

From the information given in the question, we can assume that macaroni and cheese are considered as an inferior good for this consumer because there is an inverse relationship between the income level of this consumer and the quantity demanded for macaroni and cheese.

If there is 10% increase in the income of an individual then as a result quantity demanded of macaroni and cheese decreases by 15% and the price of this good remains constant. This shows that macaroni and cheese is an inferior good.
