Answer: total ; greater than $30
Explanation:
Given the following :
Average variable cost = $30
Fixed cost > 0 ; therfore Average fixed cost > 0

Average total cost = ( >0 + $30)
Average total cost = >$30
Therefore, when 50 bluetooths are produced in the short run, the average total cost is greater than $30

The company has the following items included in its stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet on December 31, 2020: 6% Preferred stock, $100 par, 100,000 shares authorized, 25,000 shares issued and outstanding $2,500,000 Common stock, $3 par, 500,000 share authorized; 150,000 shares issued and outstanding 450,000 Additional paid-in capital 2,250,000 Total dividends for 2019 & 2020 were: During 2019, Dividends not paid During 2020, Dividends Declared and paid $160,000 If Morton Company’s preferred stock was noncumulative, how much of the 2020 dividends would have been distributed to preferred and common stockholders?
Answer:
Preferred dividend = $150,000
Common Dividend = $10,000
Explanation:
Given the following :
Number of shares issued and outstanding = 25,000
Par value = $100
Dividend rate on Preffered stock = 6%
2019 Dividend = Not paid
2020 Dividend = $160,000 declared and paid
If preferred Dividend was non-cummulative:
Value of Preferred dividend = (Preffered shares issued and outstanding * par value * preferred dividend rate)
Value of preferred dividend = (25,000 * $100 * 0.06) = $150,000
Common dividend = (Total Dividend declared and paid - value of preferred dividend)
Value of Common Dividend = ( $160,000 - 150,000) = $10,000
Preferred dividend = $150,000
Common Dividend = $10,000
Offshore oil-drilling operations entail an unavoidable risk of an oil spill, but importing oil on tankers presently entails an even greater such risk per barrel of oil. Therefore, if we are to reduce the risk of an oil spill without curtailing our use of oil, we must invest more in offshore operations and import less oil on tankers.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above.
A) Tankers can easily be redesigned so that their use entails less risk of an oil spill.
B) Oil spills caused by tankers have generally been more serious than those caused by offshore operations.
C) The impact of offshore operations on the environments can be controlled by careful management.
D) Offshore operations usually damage the ocean floor, but tankers rarely cause such damage.
E) Importing oil on tankers is currently less expensive than drilling for it offshores.
Answer:
A) Tankers can easily be redesigned so that their use entails less risk of an oil spill.
Explanation:
The option that if true most seriously weakens the argument above is: tankers can easily be redesigned so that their use entails less risk of an oil spill because the statement says that importing oil on tankers entails a greater risk of an oil spill than offshore oil-drilling and the option chosen directly talks about that and says that the tankers can easily be redesigned to decrease the risks of an oil spill which goes against the argument given.
The other options are not right because the options B and C support the argument given. Also, options D and E doesn't talk about oil spill which is the topic on the argument presented.
An insured's disability income policy includes an additional monthly benefit rider. For how many years can the insured expect to receive payment from the insurer before Social Security benefits begin?
Answer:
1 Year
Explanation:
This is because, the additional monthly benefit rider stipulates that the insurer will only pay benefits comparable to what Social Security would pay. Therefore, after a year, the insurer ends the benefit and assumes that Social Security will begin benefit payment.
Hence, the insured expect to receive payment from the insurer for ONE YEAR before Social Security benefits begin.
hoose the statement that is incorrect. A. The consensus is that the crowding-out effect is strong enough to make the government expenditure multiplier less than 1. B. The government expenditure multiplier is the quantitative effect of a change in government expenditure on real GDP. C. The tax multiplier is the quantitative effect of a change in taxes on real GDP. D. The demand-side effects of a tax cut are likely to be larger than an equivalent increase in government expenditure
Answer: D. The demand-side effects of a tax cut are likely to be larger than an equivalent increase in government expenditure
Explanation:
There is now a consensus amongst economists that an increase in Government spending will have larger demand-side effects than a tax cut. This is because Government spending goes directly into the economy and stimulates growth through the ripple effect that it has that will see money multiplied.
Tax cuts on the other hand are only effective if consumers either consume the tax savings or invest them. While they will do this for most of the savings, there is a high probability that they will save some of them instead of spending them.

The unit product cost is:_______.
a. $70.75 per unit.
b. $47 per unit.
c. $58 per unit.
d. $81.75 per unit.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Each glove requires $22 of direct materials and $18 of direct labor. Variable manufacturing overhead cost is $7 per unit and fixed manufacturing overhead cost is $19,000 in total.
There are two methods to calculate the unitary production costs. The variable costing method and the absorption costing method.
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Variable costing method:
Unitary product cost= 22 + 18 + 7= $47
Absorption costing method:
Unitary fixed costs= 19,000/800= 23.75
Unitary product cost= 47 + 23.75= $70.75
