Answer:

The correct answer is number (2): Reduce reliance on market forces because they allocate goods and services in an unfair manner.

Explanation:

Relying on market forces imply letting supply and demand freely decide the levels of quantity demanded and supplied goods and services and their corresponding prices. This scenario could lead to unfair market competition and inhuman labor standards. For that reason, government intervention is necessary to set fair rules for organizations and individuals within society.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Find attached complete question:

Option A 1452 units

Explanation:

The increase in labor cost=$3.39-$2.89=$0.50

Half of the increase would reflect as increase in price i.e$0.25

Current price is $16

new price is $16+$0.25=$16.25

contribution margin =selling price -variable cost

currently units sold=$30,875/$16= 1,930

Current contribution per unit=$11,401/1930=$5.91

new contribution per unit would reduce by $0.25 i.e $5.91-$0.25=$5.66

breakeven in units=period cost/contribution margin per unit

period cost is $8346

breakeven units=$8346/$5.66=1475 units

The closest option is A 1452 units,the difference could be due to rounding error

Nofly corporation sells three different models of a mosquito "zapper." model a12 sells for $50 and has variable costs of $35. mo
Vsevolod [243]

The first step you need to do to solve this problem is to calculate the contribution margin per unit for each model:

Model                                                                                   a12                         b22                         c124

Sales Price per unit                                                          50                           100                         400

Less: Variable Cost per unit                                         35                           70                           300

Contribution Margin per unit                                      15                           30                           100

The next step is to calculate the weighted-average contribution margin per unit for the sales mix using the following formula:

Model a12 CM per Unit × Model a12 Sales Mix Percentage<span>
+ Model b22 CM per Unit × Model b22 Sales Mix Percentage
+ Model c124 CM per Unit × Model c124 Sales Mix Percentage
<span>= Weighted Average Unit Contribution Margin (WACM)</span></span>

Contribution Margin per unit                                      15                           30                           100

X Sales Mix Percentage                                                 60%                        15%                        25%

WACM                                                                                  9                              4.5                          25

Weighted Average Unit Contribution Margin (sum)                         38.5

The next step is to find the break-even point using the WACM.

<span> <span><span> <span> Total Fixed Cost </span> <span> $269,500 </span> </span> <span> <span> ÷ Weighted Average CM per Unit </span> <span> $38.50 </span> </span> <span> <span> Break-even Point in Units of Sales Mix </span> <span> 7,000 </span> </span> </span></span>

 

The next step is to calculate the number of units of each model at break-even point

<span> <span><span> <span> Model </span> <span> a12 </span> <span> b22 </span> <span> c124 </span> </span> <span> <span> Sales Mix Ratio </span> <span> 60% </span> <span> 15% </span> <span> 25% </span> </span> <span> <span> × Total Break-even Units </span> <span> 7,000 </span> <span> 7,000 </span> <span> 7,000 </span> </span> <span> <span> Product Units at Break-even Point </span> <span> 4,200 </span> <span> 1,050 </span> <span> 1,750 </span> </span> </span></span>

First Simple Bank pays 6.4 percent simple interest on its investment accounts. If First Complex Bank pays interest on its accoun
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

rate set by first complex bank is  = 5.07 %

Explanation:

given data

simple interest = 6.4 %

investment time = 10 year

solution

we consider here first total interest on the amount $100  paid as simple interest is for 10 year will be

interest = $100 × 6.4% × 10

interest = $64

so future value will be = $100 + $64 = $164

so now we consider rate of interest = r

so that now we apply here future value formula

future value = investment × (1+r)^{t}   ...............1

$164 = $100 × (1+r)^{10}  

1.64 =   (1+r)^{10}

solve it we get

r =  0.05071

so rate set by first complex bank is  = 5.07 %

The city wants to pave the road in front of Sam Smith's house. Sam has 110 front feet. The cost to pave is $35 a linear foot and
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

$1,443.75

Explanation:

The total cost for paving Sam's portion of the road = $35 per linear foot x 110 front feet =  $3,850

If the city is going to pay 25% of the total cost, then it will pay $962.50, that would leave a total of $2,887.50 to be paid between Sam and his front neighbor. So Sam's share = $2,887.50 / 2 = $1,443.75

Barnett Industries, Inc., issued $600,000 of 8% bonds on January 1, 2019. The bonds pay interest semiannually on July 1 and Janu
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

1. The selling price of the bonds is $590.976.46

2 .The journal entry for the issuance of the bonds and bond issue costs would be as follows:

                                                      Debit                          Credit

Cash                                             $538,976.26

Discount on bonds payable       $39,023.74

Unamortized bonds issue costs $22,000

                                       Bonds Payable                       $600,000

3. Assuming that Barnett uses IFRS,  the journal entry for the issuance of the bonds would be as follows:

                     Debit                      Credit              

Cash             $600,000

          Bonds Payable             $600,000

Explanation:

In order to calculate the selling price of the bonds we would have to calculate first the present value of particular and present value of interest, hence:

present value of particular=($600,000×0.414643)=$248,785.80

present value of interest=$600,000×4%13.007936=$312,190.46

Therefore, selling price of the bonds=present value of particular+present value of interest

1. Selling price of the bonds=$248,785.80+$312,190.46=$590.976.46

2. The journal entry for the issuance of the bonds and bond issue costs would be as follows:

                                                      Debit                          Credit

Cash                                             $538,976.26

Discount on bonds payable       $39,023.74

Unamortized bonds issue costs $22,000

                                       Bonds Payable                       $600,000

3. Assuming that Barnett uses IFRS,  the journal entry for the issuance of the bonds would be as follows:

                     Debit                      Credit              

Cash             $600,000

          Bonds Payable             $600,000
