Suppose that the salary range for recent college graduates with a bachelor's degree in economics is $30,000 to $50,000, with 25 percent of jobs offering $30,000 per year, 50 percent offering $40,000 per year and 25 percent offering $50,000 per year and that in all other respects, the jobs are equally satisfying. Assume that in this market, a job offer remains open for only a short time so that continuing to search requires an applicant to reject any current job offer. If this scenario describes job searches in general, the segment of the population that is most risk-averse will tend to earn:

Answer:

Answer:

The  Expected Earning for the college graduates is 40,000

Explanation:

The Expected Earning for a college alum with a four year college education in financial matters is determined as weighted normal all things considered, utilizing likelihood of every result as its weight.  

Although the Expected Earning is;  

Expected Earning = (25% × 30,000) + (50% × 40,000) + (25% × 50,000)  

Expected Earning = 0.25 × 30,000 + 0.5 × 40,000 + 0.25 × 50,000  

 Expected Earning = 7500 + 20,000 + 12,500

Expected Earning = 40,000

A cafeteria buys muffins daily. Demand varies Uniformly between 30 and 50 muffins per day. The cafeteria pays $.20 per muffin and charges $.80 per muffin. Unsold muffins are discarded at the end of the day. A) Find the optimal stocking level and the stock-out risk for that quantity.

Answers

Answer:

The optimal stocking level is 45 muffins.

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the Overage cost Co = Purchase price - Salvage value = $0.2 - 0 = $0.2

Then the Underage cost Cu = Selling price - Purchase price =$0.80 - $0.2 = $0.60

Service level = Cu / (Cu + Co) = $0.60/($0.60+$0.2) = $0.75

Hence, optimal stocking level = Minimum demand + Service level *(Maximum demand - Minimum demand)

optimal stocking level = 30 + 0.75*(50-30) = 45

The optimal stocking level is 45 muffins.

Optimal stocking level = 68.75 Muffins

Answer:

Shoe-leather Costs.

Explanation:

In Business management, Shoe-leather costs can be defined as the costs of time and effort people take to counteract the effect of high inflation on the depreciative purchasing power of money by visiting banks or other financial institutions regularly in order to limit inflation tax they pay on holding cash.

Metaphorically speaking, in a bid to protect the value of money or assets, people wear out the sole of their shoes by going to the bank regularly.

Hence, Shen is practicing a shoe-leather cost.

The situation that requires a departure from the cost basis of accounting to the lower-of- cost-or-net-realizable-value basis in valuing inventory is necessitated by Select one: a. an increase in selling price. b. a decline in the value of the inventory. c. an increase in the value of the inventory. d. a desire for more profit.

Answers

Answer:

B. A decline in the value of the inventory.

Explanation:

Cost basis accounting: It is a method of calculating the value of inventory on actual cost for tax purposes as the purchase price is adjusted for dividends and return of capital distribution. It uses lower of cost either original cost or current market price. The market price should not be less or more than the net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the selling price minus cost of completion. Therefore, the cost basis of accounting to the lower-of- cost-or-net-realizable-value basis in valuing inventory is necessitated by a decline in the value of the inventory.

For the current year ending January 31, Ringo Company expects fixed costs of $178, 500 and a unit variable cost of $41.50. For the coming year, a new wage contract will increase the unit variable cost to $45. The selling price of $50 per unit is expected to remain the same. Compute the break-even sales (in units) for the current year. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (in units) for the coming year, assuming the new wage contract is signed.

Answers

Answer:

The break-even sales (in units u) for the current year is 210,000 units.

The anticipated break-even sales (in units t) for the coming year, assuming the new wage contract is signed is 357,000 units.

Explanation:

The BEP which is the break even point is the point where the company's sales or revenue generated is equal to the cost incurred. As such, the BEP is the number of units that must be sold for the company to make neither a profit nor a loss.

Both sales and variable cost are dependent on the number of units sold.

The sales less the variable cost gives the contribution margin. The contribution margin less the fixed cost gives the net operating income.

The break-even sales (in units u) for the current year

50u - 41.5u - 1785000 = 0

8.5u = 1785000

u = 1785000/8.5

= 210,000 units

The anticipated break-even sales (in units t) for the coming year, assuming the new wage contract is signed

50u - 45u - 1785000 = 0

5u = 1785000

u = 1785000/5

= 357,000 units
