Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Average total cost of producing cell phones = $20

Current output level = 100 units per week

Fixed cost = $1,200 per week

Average total cost = (Variable cost + Fixed cost) ÷ Number of units

$20 = (Variable cost + $1,200) ÷ 100

$2,000 = (Variable cost + $1,200)

$2,000 - $1,200 = Variable cost

$800 = Variable cost

Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost

                 = $800 + $1,200

                 = $2,000

Average variable cost:

= Variable cost ÷ Number of units

= $800 ÷ 100

= $8

Average Fixed cost:

= Fixed cost ÷ Number of units

= $1,200 ÷ 100

= $12

Therefore, the correct answer is: Average variable cost is $8.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

When Rosalyn comes into the office, she speaks to no one, shuts her door, and is rarely seen again until lunch. She supervises a team of 12 people though. Carmelita has a new idea she would like to share with management, but is unsure if she should take it to Rosalyn. How would you describe this upward communication?

Option B: lacking trust

Explanation:

Upward communication is the process of information or communication channel methods flowing from the front-line or lower levels employees of a hierarchy to transfer messages the upper levels, to managers, like Rosalyn, supervisors and directors. This type of communication is becoming more popular in organizations as traditional forms of communication are becoming less popular but these channels may face significant barriers for employees attempting to send feedback or other communication to higher-level management as trust involves knowing that a partner has your best interest at heart and manager as Rosalyn may not be prompting employee´s trust not having an "open door policy" which enables trust among her employees. It is hard to feel safe and secure when you are involved with someone who would betray your trust. Not only is trust important, but a lack of trust, distrust, doubt, doubtfulness, dubiety, dubiousness, incertitude, question, skepticism, suspicion, uncertainty, wonder leeriness, suspicion and lack of conviction or certainty often leads to lying, deception or unwillingness which makes subordinates not to send the information to their superior willingly. Manager who are not open cause fear of inefficiency therefore, the communication system may be disrupted.

Upward communication helps employees to express their requirements, ideas, and feelings. For the top management, upward communication is an important source of information for business decisions. It helps in alerting top management about the requirement of changes in an organisations.

Many tire centers and new car dealers offer to fill tires with nitrogen instead of compressed air, often at a significantly incr
STatiana [176]

Answer and Explanation:

a) the advantage if using Nitrogen is that pure nitrogen does not leak out of tires as fast as oxygen do. Molecules of Nitrogen are much larger that those of Oxygen so nitrogen filled tires will remain inflates longer than air filled tires.

b) it is consistent with the ideal gas law (PV= nRT). Volume is inversely proportional to pressure and directly proportional to the temperature which mean that every 10 degree change in temperature will result in 1 psi change in tire-inflation pressure.

c) Yes there is another chemical reason. Air contains moisture which can build up within and corrode the wheels and tire pressure monitoring system resulting in tire rot from within but Nitrogen gas is much drier and allows a more steady pressure inside the tire.

d) No I will not pay extra for nitrogen filled tires because there's no huge difference between nitrogen and air filled tires. Nitrogen contains only about 93-95% nitrogen and the rest air ,while ordinary air-filled tire contains 78% nitrogen and the rest air. Besides nitrogen gas do not protect nor repairs faulty tires, you still have to check your tires from time to time and ordinary air is much cheaper than nitrogen and in some regions free. So I think its just a marketing strategy and do not have much use.

To help finance a new plant, Roxxon, Inc. just sold a noncallable 40 year bond. This $1,000 par bond sells for $1,155 and has a
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

4.96%

Explanation:

In order to determine the component after-tax cost of debt first we need to  compute the before tax cost of debt by applying the RATE formula which is to be shown in the attachment below:

Given that,  

Present value = $1,155

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 8.25% ÷ 2 = $41.25

NPER = 40 years × 2 = 80 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after applying the above formula

1. The pretax cost of debt is 3.54%  × 2 = 7.08%

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 7.08% × ( 1 - 0.30)

= 4.96%
