Answer:
The quantity of high-quality coffee been is 100 and cheaper coffee bean is 70.
Explanation:
Let the quantity of high-quality coffee bean = x
The price of high-quality bean = $5 per pound.
Let the cheaper coffee bean = y
The price of cheaper coffee bean = $2 per pound.
So, from the equation there are two equation can be formed.
x + y = 170
5x + 2y = 170×3.76
Now, solve both the equation for the value of x and y.
x + y = 170
x = 170-y
now insert, x = 170 – y in the below equation.
5x + 2y = 170×3.76
5 (170 – y) + 2y = 639.2
850 – 5y + 2y = 639.2
-3y = 639.2 – 850
- 3y = -210.8
y = 70.26 or the 70
now insert 70 in x = 170-y.
x = 170 – 70
x = 100
Thus, the quantity of high-quality coffee been is 100 and cheaper coffee bean is 70.
Firms that follow variable-cost pricing Multiple Choice sell their products at lower net prices abroad than in the domestic market. ensure that no unit of a similar product is different from any other unit in terms of cost. tend to have high variable costs relative to fixed costs. often do so to maximize revenue by matching demand with a limited supply. ensure that each unit bears its full share of the total fixed and variable cost.
Answer:
Sell their products at lower net prices abroad than in the domestic market
Explanation:
Variable costing is a product costing method where only the variable manufacturing cost like the cost of direct materials ,labor and the variable manufacturing overhead are factored into the cost of production. This does not consider a complete cost like the absorption method of costing and as a result , the final overall cost is lower,
Using variable cost males it possible to sell products at lower net prices abroad compared to the domestics market as the tax laws of various country requires absorption method , hence it is not captures using variable costing.

Frahm Company incurred a first quarter operating loss before income tax effect of $4,000,000. This is a normal occurrence for Frahm because of seasonal fluctuations. Experience has demonstrated the income earned during the remaining quarters far exceeds the first quarter losses each year. Frahm estimates its annual income tax rate will be 30 percent. What net loss should Frahm report for the first quarter?
Answer: $2,800,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Frahm estimates its annual income tax rate will be 30 percent and incurred a first quarter operating loss before income tax effect of $4,000,000.
The net loss should Frahm report for the first quarter will be:

An insurance company estimates its objective risk for 10,000 exposures to be 10 percent. Assuming the probability of loss remains the same, what would happen to the objective risk if the number of exposures were to increase to 1 million? A) It would decrease to 1 percent. B) It would decrease to 5 percent. C) It would remain the same. D) It would increase to 20 percent.
Answer:
A) It would decrease to 1 percent.
Explanation:
Given that:
Objective risk for 10,000 exposures = 10%
The objective risk could be explained to mean the actual loss incurred within a given period. The objective risk also decreases as the sample increases, in this case as the number of exposure increases, the exposure risk decreases.
In th question above, with an exposure value of 10,000; objective risk is 10%
When the exposure increases to 1,000,000
(10,000 / 1,000,000) * 100%
0.01 * 100%
= 1%

Suppose quantity demanded is 2,000 when price is $10 and 3,000 when price is $5. If a monopolist who was initially charging a price of $10 discovers a way to price discriminate, it will be able to increase revenue from $20,000 to:
Answer:
$25,000 by charging consumers with more elastic demand only $5 and keeping the price for consumers with less elastic demand at $10
Explanation:
Price discrimination refers to the differentiation in the price of the product for every consumer that means the company charged different prices from the different customers
Also, in this it charges from the consumers having more elastic demand at less price. Here 2,000 units are purchased at $10 and the 1,000 units are purchased at $5 so the total quantity demanded is 3,000
The 25,000 units come from
= 2,000 ($10) + 1,000 ($5)
= 20,000 + 5,000
= 25,000
Coronado Industries has outstanding accounts receivable totaling $6.57 million as of December 31 and sales on credit during the year of $22.6 million.

There are 120 mangoes in a basket and 168 mangoes in another basket.
Find the greatest number of mangoes which are to be taken out at a time
from each basket so that both of them will be emptied simultaneously.
Answer:
The greatest number of mangoes which are to be taken out at a time from each basket so that both of them emptied simultaneously is the number of mangoes in each basket which is 120 mangoes for one basket and 168 mangoes for the other basket
Explanation:
Given that the number of mangoes in one basket = 120 mangoes
Also, the number of mangoes in another basket = 168 mangoes
The greatest number of mangoes, X and Y that are to taken out from each basket so that both of them will empty simultaneously is found as follows;
We note that the ratio of the number of mangoes in both baskets are;
120:168 = 5:7
Therefore, we have;
5 × Y = 120
Y = 20/5 = 24
Similarly, we have;
7 × X = 168
X = 168/7 = 24
We can take 5 mangoes from one basket and 7 mangoes from the other basket 24 times, for both mangoes to empty the same time
We can also take 5×12 = 60 mangoes twice from one basket and 7 × 12 = 84 mangoes twice from the other basket to empty the baskets
We can also take 120 mangoes one from one basket and 168 mangoes one from the other basket to empty the baskets.
Therefore, the greatest number of mangoes which are to be taken out at a time from each basket so that both of them emptied simultaneously is the number of mangoes in each basket which is 120 mangoes for one basket and 168 mangoes for the other basket.
The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for ground beef has been estimated to be 0.5. If mad cow disease strikes the United States and a large percentage of the cattle are removed from the market, how will that affect total expenditures on hamburger, all other things equal
Answer:
total expenditure would increase
Explanation:
the demand for ground beef is inelastic.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one.
As a result of the disease, the supply of ground beef would fall. this would lead to a hike in the price of ground beef. But since demand for ground beef is inelastic, the the fall in demand would be less than the rise in price, so total expenditures would rise.

Answer: decrease which shifts aggregate demand left
Explanation:
Net exports is calculated when the value of a nation's total imports is deducted from the value of the nation's total exports.
When the dollar appreciates, perhaps because of speculation or government policy, then U.S. net exports decrease which shifts aggregate demand left. This is because due to the appreciation, goods that are made in other countries, that's the import will become cheaper and import rises while export reduces.

(Input all amounts as positive values. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting F for favorable, U for unfavorable and None for no effect).
Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of materials price and quantity variances for the year is shown below:-
Material price variance = Actual quantity × (Actual rate - Standard rate)
= 67,000 × ($3.00 - $2.80)
= 67,000 × $1.80
= $120,600 unfavorable
Material quantity variance = (Actual quantity - Standard quantity) × Standard price
= 67,000 - (20,000 × 3.50)) × $2.80
= (67,000 - 70,000) × $2.80
= $8,400 favorable
2. The computation of the labor rate and efficiency variances for the year is shown below:
Labor rate variance is
= (Actual rate - standard rate) × Actual hours
= ($11.80 - $12) × 58,000 direct labor hours
= $11,600 favorable
labor efficiency variance is
= (Actual hours - standard hours) × standard rate
= (58,000 direct labor hours - 20,000 units × 2.8 direct labor hours) × $12
= $24,000 unfavorable
3. a. The computation of variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for the year is shown below:-
variable overhead rate = Actual hours × (Actual rate - Standard rate)
= 58,000 × ($133,400 ÷ 58,000 - $2.00)
= $17,400 Unfavorable
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) × Standard rate
= (58,000 - (20,000 × $2.8)) × $2.00
= (58,000 - 56,000) × $2.00
= $4,000 Unfavorable
3. b. The computation of fixed overhead budget and volume variances for the year is shown below:-
fixed overhead budget variance = Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead
= $312,000 - $315,000
= $3,000 Favorable
Volume variance = (Standard hours allowed - Denominator activity level) × Fixed overhead rate per hour
= ((20,000 × $2.8) - 52,500) × $6.00
= $56,000 - 52,500) × $6.00
= $3,500 × $6.00
= $21,000

A -B= -8000
A= -8000+B
Substitute -8000-B for A in equation 2
0.02(-8000+B) + 0.08B= 2140
-160+0.02B + 0.08B= 2140
-160 + 0.1B= 2140
Collect the like terms
0.1B= 2140+160
0.1B= 2300
B= 2300/0.1
B= 23,000
From equation 1
A-B= -8000
A= -8000+B
Substitute 23,000 for B
A = -8000+23000
A= 15,000
Hence Jessica invested 23,000 in fund B
