Answer:

Option C-$172.50

Option C,($190,000)is correct

Explanation:

Target cost=competitive market price-target operating profit

competitive market price is $230

target operating profit is 25% of selling price=$230*25%=$57.50

target cost=$230-$57.50=$172.50

Option C is correct as a result of the above computation

Current operating income =($270-$210)*5000=$300,000

new operating income=($230-$210)*(5000*110%)

                                      =$20*5500=$110,000

The new operating is $110,000 from $300,000 recorded earlier,in a nutshell ,the operating income would reduce by $190,000($300,000-$110,000)

Option C is the correct answer

Solution:

Step 1:

To measure the sage unit cost of the year of a commodity, plan the statement below:

Details                                                                       Year 1          Year 2

Direct materials per unit                                              $25              $25

Total product cost per unit                                            $45            $45  

Thus, the unit product cost under variable costing for yea 1 and year 2 is $45

Add: Direct labour per unit                                   $15               $15

Add: Variable manufacturing overhead per unit   $5              $5

Add: Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit

       Year - 1 - ($250,000 + 50,000 units)

       Year - 1 - ($250,000 + 40,000 units)               $5             $6

Total revenue for producing 8 units of output is $48. Total revenue for producing 9 units out output is $63. Given this informat
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

D. Marginal revenue for producing the 9 units is $15

Explanation:

TR(8) = $48

TR(9) = $63

MR(9) = TR(9) - TR(8) = $63 - $48 = $15

AR(8) = TR(8) / 8 = $48/8 = $6

AR(9) = TR(9)/9 = 63/9 = $9

Note: TR=Total revenue, AR= Average Revenue and MR=Marginal Revenue

So, the only correct option is option d

A company has a process that results in 12,000 pounds of Product A that can be sold for $8 per pound. An alternative would be to
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is management should sell Product A now.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Total production = 12,000 pounds

Sell price = $8 per pound

If process further, Cost = $80,000

Selling price = $14 per pound

So, If we sell the product without further process, than

Total sale value = 12,000 × $8 = $96,000

And, if we sell the product after further processing, then

Total sale value = (12,000 × $14) - $80,000

= $88,000.

As, sales value is more in selling the product without further process, so management should sell the product without further processing it.

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

As Martha has the main home in Houston and in the current year she rented it for only 10 days, this means that house is rented for less than 14 days and will be still treated as her personal residence, therefore, no deduction will be available for Martha against her rental income. Martha's Adjusted gross income will be increased by an amount of $5,000.

Suppose Congress passes legislation that offers subsidies to orange farmers. The impact on the market for orange juice will be a
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

<u>the supply curve</u>

Explanation:

Remember the supply curve shows the relationship between the amount of a commodity that a producer (or orange farmer) is <em>willing </em>to offer and at a particular price at any given time.

Because of the subsidies to orange farmers we expect the price of orange to become lesser in the future. Therefore the rightward shift occurs in supply curve for oranges due to favorable changes such as the new legislation which may lead to:

  1. Reduction in tax,
  2. Reduction in cost of factor of production,
  3. Expectation of fall in price in future,
