Answer:

The break-even level of sales is equal to 3372.64 pounds.

Explanation:

The quantity of fish sold per month is 3,200 pounds.

The price of fish is $2.90/pound.

The variable cost per pound is $2.22.

The monthly required return is 1.2%.

Contribution per unit will be

=Selling Price-Variable Cost

=$2.9-$2.22

=$0.68 per unit

Loss on account of changing to net 30 policy

=Quantity*Selling Price*required return

=Quantity*$2.9*1.2%

To break even, excess Contribution should be equal to loss on policy change

or,

Here, we assume quantity to be X

(X-3200)*$0.68 = X*$2.9*1.2%

(X-3200)*19.54= X

18.54X=$62,528.74

X=\frac{62,528.74}{18.54}

X=3372.64 pounds

A manufacturing company has the following budgeted overhead costs: Indirect materials: $0.50 per unit; Utilities: $0.25 per unit
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Total overhead                       $

Indirect material ($0.5 x 200,000 units) = 100,000

Utilities ($0.25 x 200,000 units)             = 50,000

Supervisory salaries                                 = 60,000

Building rent                                              = 80,000

Total overhead                                             290,000

Overhead rate                = <u>Budgeted overhead</u>

                                           Budgeted direct labour hours

                                         = <u>$290,000</u>

                                              100,000 hours

                                         = $2.90 per direct labour hour

Explanation:

In this case, we need to obtain the total overhead, which is the total of indirect material, utilities, supervisory salaries and building rent.

Then, we will divide the total overhead by direct labour hours so as to determine the overhead rate.

There are two aspects of efficiency that the equilibrium of market for loanable funds exhibits. Select the TWO statements that c
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

a. Savers who lend money are willing to accept a lower minimum interest rate than potential savers who do not lend money.  

b. Investment projects that are financed by savers have larger rates of return than projects that do not receive financing.  

Explanation:

Loanable funds refer to the aggregate amount of money that all sectors, entities and individuals within an economy have decided to keep as an investment, instead of spending on personal consumption, by saving and giving them out as loans to borrowers.  

The market for loanable funds is in equilibrium when the supply of loanable funds by the saver is equal to demand for loanable funds by the borrowers at a given interest rate.

When the market for loanable funds is in equilibrium, efficiency is maximized because projects that have higher rates of return are given priority to be funded first before the projects with lower rates of return are funded. The reason is that savers that have lowest costs of lending provides funds for the projects that have highest return rates in equilibrium. However, potential saver who do not lend money will prefer a higher interest rates.

Therefore, the correct options related to the two aspects of efficiency that the equilibrium of market for loanable funds exhibits are as follows:

a. Savers who lend money are willing to accept a lower minimum interest rate than potential savers who do not lend money.  

b. Investment projects that are financed by savers have larger rates of return than projects that do not receive financing.

Which of the following environments will be LEAST conducive to fraud? a. Perceived inequalities in the organization and inadequa
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The answer is C. Proactive management

Explanation:

Proactive management looks ahead. They are not reactive. They envisage problems before it occurs. They institute or set up internal controls which will not be conducive to fraud. Internal controls like segregation of duty, dual control, authorization etc.

But in an organization where perceived inequalities are rife, employees will tend to play fast because they are not satisfied.

Also, when unreasonable budget are set by the management, employees tend to do all things possible to achieve this budget so as to keep their job. This breeds the thought of fraud.

High employee turnover too can lead to fraud because staffs know they wont stay too long.

he kinds of money Personal possession of currency is prohibited in U.S. prisons, although, in practice, prisoners still exchange
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

A) One important difference between using cigarettes and using dollars as money is that cigarettes have intrinsic value.

B) U.S. dollars are an example of fiat money.

Explanation:

Prisioners had two uses for cigarettes: they could use them as a medium of exchange, thus acted as money, and they could use cigarettes to smoke. Therefore the intrinsic value of cigarettes would be the tobbacco which is used to smoke, as opposed to U.S. dollars where its intrinsic value is just the paper or metal if it were a coin.

U.S. dollars are an example of fiat money because it's a currency that has been established as legal tender by the U.S. Government, but it has no intrinsic value of its own.
