Hi, Sierra,

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Question requires that you find five sentence fragments, one dangling modifier, one passive-voice sentence, and one parallelism fault.

Sentence Fragment

A sentence fragment is so because it is either missing a subject, or a verb, and/ or a complete thought. It is therefore an incomplete sentence.

5. Although no clear line separates fun from profit or a hobby from a business.
12. If you spend eight or more hours a day trading on eBay.
17. If you spend $5 for a garage sale vase and sell it for $50.
18. The IRS would probably consider this a business transaction.
20. Even for eBay sellers who are just playing around. (not a proper sentence)

Dangling Modifier

Attempts to modify an unclear word in the sentence

19. All profits are taxable.

It is unclear what profits the sentence alludes to.

Passive-voice sentence

In Passive voice, the subject of the text is the one that is being acted upon.

13. The IRS would tend to think you are in a business.

Parallelism Fault

This occurs when the sentence is not grammatically parallel. In other words the sentence does not follow as it is not using the same structure.

3. As you are probably already aware, you can use eBay or one of the other sellers to clean out your closets or to run a small business.

Chester has negotiated a new labor contract for the next round that will affect the cost for their product Cat. Labor costs will

liberstina [14]

Question Completion:

Assume the following:

Selling price per unit = $54

Current total variable cost = $24.50

Total Fixed Costs = $69,000

Answer:

Chester

To break-even on product Cat, Chester needs to sell 2,379 units instead of 2,339 units.

Explanation:

a) Calculations:

New variable cost will increase by ($3.40 - $2.90)/2 = $0.25

New variable costs will be = $24.75 ($24.50 + $0.25)

Contribution margin per unit = $29.25 ($54 - $24.75)

New fixed costs = $69,000 + ($0.25 * 2,339) = $69,585

Old break-even units = $69,000/$29.50 = 2,339 units

New break-even units = Fixed cost/contribution margin per unit

= $69,585/$29.25

= 2,379 units

b) Chester's break-even point in units is calculated by using the break-even formula: Fixed Costs ÷ (Sales price per unit – Variable costs per unit) or $69,585/$29.25. The variable cost per unit includes only the cost that will be passed to customers. This means that half of the labor cost is regarded as variable, while the other half is taken is fixed cost.

if Jane attends graduate school, it will take her two years, during which time she will earn no income. She will pay a total of

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

she could earn a total of $71,000 instead of attending graduate school.

Explanation:

economic costs = accounting costs + opportunity costs

Jane's accounting costs = $100,000 in tuition + $20,000 room and board + $2,000 books

Jane's opportunity costs = unearned wages - $18,000 room and board (already included in accounting costs)

if Jane's economic cost = $175,000, then her unearned wages would equal:

$175,000 = $122,000 + unearned wages - $18,000

$175,000 = $104,000 + unearned wages

$71,000 = unearned wages
