What is the effect of the exchange rate fluctuations on reported income in 2017 and in 2018

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

2017 = ($6,400)

2018 = $4,800

Explanation:

The effect of the exchange rate fluctuations on reported income in 2017 and in 2018 is shown below:-

Particulars                               Amount

Purchased widgets                 20,000

Purchased price                       8

Total inventory                        160,000

(20,000 × 8)

Total inventory at Dec 1,2017 $70,400

(160,000 × $0.44)

Total inventory at Dec 31,2017 $76,800

(160,000 × $0.48)

Foreign exchange gain/(loss)

at reporting date                    ($6,400)

($70,400  - $76,800)

Total inventory at March 1, 2018 $72,000

(160,000 × $0.45)

Foreign exchange gain/(loss)

when payment is made

on March 1, 2018                         $4,800

($76,800  - $72,000)

So, the Foreign exchange loss in 2017 is ($6,400) and the Foreign exchange gain in 2018 is $4,800

In 2016, Teller Company sold 3,000 units at $600 each. Variable expenses were $420 per unit, and fixed expenses were $270,000. The same selling price, variable expenses, and fixed expenses are expected for 2017. What is Teller's break-even point in units for 2017

Answers

Answer:

1500

Explanation:

Breakeven point is the number of units produced and sold where net income is art on it is where revenue equals cost.

The formula for calculating break even points = F / (P - V)

F = fixed cost

P = price

V = variable cost per unit

$270,000 / ($600 - $420) = 1500

A profit maximizing competitive firm in a market with NO externalities will produce the quantity of output whereA) price = marginal cost
B) marginal revenue = marginal cost

A profit maximizing competitive firm in a market with NO externalities will produce the quantity of output where

  • price = marginal cost
  • marginal revenue = marginal cost
  • marginal benefit = marginal cost

Option D

Explanation:

All of the options are true.

In a highly competitive market, companies set marginal incomes at marginal cost level (MR= MC) in order to make a profit. MR is the pitch of the profit curve, which represents the (D) and price (P) of the demand curve as well.

It is necessary to have positive, or negative economic benefits in the shorter term. The company profits whenever the price exceeds the total average cost. The company loses on the market if premiums are less than average total costs.

If Congress ends an investment tax credit that used to subsidize domestic investment, how would this affect the market for loanable funds in an open economy context?

Answers

Answer: Demand will fall, Interest rates will fall

Explanation:

The investment tax credit would have encouraged more companies to seek loanable funds in order to embark on investment opportunities because they would be taxed less. This increase in demand in the market for loanable funds would have led to rates rising to keep up with demand.

If Congress were to end this credit, the incentive to invest and avoid tax would be gone. Companies would therefore demand less loanable funds and with this drop in demand there will be a drop in interest rates as well to entice people to borrow at the lower rates.

Last month, a processing facility (such as a check processing facility or a distribution center) transitioned from an unpaced assembly line to a machine-paced assembly line, so that now work is done to the product while it stays on the conveyor belt. Yesterday, the worker at the bottleneck station was replaced by another worker who works more slowly than the original worker (and nothing was done to compensate). Which of the following is most likely to result? a. Inventory piles up before the new bottleneck worker.
b. Quality problems occur.
c. Cycle time increases.
d. The direction of the workflow changes
How does the cost of learning change as the division of labor increases (having more workers, doing more narrowly defined tasks)?
a. It tends to decrease at first but eventually starts growing again.
b. It tends to increase at first but eventually starts decreasing.
c. It tends to decrease with the growing degree of division of labor.
d. It is unchanged by the division of labor.

Answers

Answer: b. Quality problem occurs

• c. It tends to decrease with the growing degree of division of labor

Explanation:

From the scenario on the question, the most likely thing to result is for quality problems to occur. Quality simply has to do with the extent to which a particular product satisfies already specified requirements.

Based on the scenarios such as the worker at the bottleneck station being replaced by another worker who works more slowly than the original worker, the quality will be affected.

Division of labor is when task are being delegated in a workplace so that efficiency can be improved. When there is a rise in the division of labor, learning is affected as there'll be a decrease as division of labor increases. This is because everyone has his or her role to play rather than learning more about other departments or roles, the worker will be typically focused on one role.
