1. the cozy company manufactures slippers and sells them at $ 10 a pair. variable manufacturing cost is $ 5.75 a pair, and allocated fixed manufacturing cost is $ 1.75 a pair. it has enough idle capacity available to accept a one-time-only special order of 25,000 pairs of slippers at $ 7.50 a pair. cozy will not incur any marketing costs as a result of the special order.

what would the effect on operating income be if the special order could be accepted without affecting normal sales:

(a) $0,
(b) $ 43,750 increase,
(c) $ 143,750 increase, or
(d) $ 187,500 increase?

show your calculations.

At a small store, a customer enters the front door on average every 8 minutes. a prior study indicated that the time between customers entering the front door during weekdays follows an exponential distribution. what is the probability that the time between customers entering the store on a weekday will be less than or equal to 7? select one: a. 62 b. 43 c. 1/8 d. 7/8 e. 58

Which of the following statements are false regarding activity-based costing? non-manufacturing costs are important to include when calculating the cost of each product. costs are allocated based on a pre-determined overhead rate. transitioning from traditional costing methods to activity-based costing can be complicated and costly. activity-based costing follows the same basic calculation methods as traditional costing approaches. none of the above

Suppose life expectancy in years (l) is a function of two inputs, health expenditures (h) and nutrition expenditures (n) in hundreds of dollars per year. the production function is upper l equals ch superscript 0.40 baseline upper n superscript 0.60l=ch0.40n0.60. beginning with c = 1, a health input of $400400 per year (hequals=44) and a nutrition input of $400400 per year (nequals=44), show that the marginal product of health expenditures and the marginal product of nutrition expenditures are both decreasing. the marginal product of health expenditures when h goes from 44 to 55 is nothing, and the marginal product of health when h goes from 66 to 77 is nothing. (round your answers to three decimal places.)
