Answer:
$38,675
Explanation:
sales price per pillow $97.50
total production 2,000 units
total sales 1,750 units
costs:
variable costs $22.10 per unit
fixed manufacturing $13.00 per unit
fixed administrative expenses $19.50 per unit
variable costing assigns only variable costs to inventory and COGS, so the COGS using variable costing = 1,750 units x $22.10 = $38,675
under variable costing, all fixed costs are period costs (fixed manufacturing and fixed administrative).
Answer: Costs of items used up this period but paid for next period
Explanation:
Period Expenses for the period are transactions that should be expensed because they were used in the current period.
Therefore if a period cost is not used in the period, it is not considered a period cost even if the company pays for it in the current period which also means that if a period cost for the period is not paid in the current period but in the next one, it is still a period cost for the current period.
From the above therefore, the period cost is the cost of items used up in this period but paid for in the next one.
The land purchased might look like the obvious choice but it is not because Assets are capitalised and not expensed.
Answer: b. Set higher prices to the students as their demand is relatively more inelastic.
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the change in quantity demanded to changes in price levels.
If demand is inelastic, a small change in price has a small effect on quantity demanded. An inelastic demand usually has a coefficient of less than 1.
The elasticity of demand for students and senior citizens are both inelastic but that of the students is greater than that of senior citizens. They are less responsive to price changes when compared with senior citizens.
