Answer:

Taxes can be used to increase the price of producing or selling something which discourages firms from engaging in that activity.
If the government wants to encourage a particular activity, they could subsidize firms who engage in it.

For example there are extra taxes on cigarettes because the government sees them as harmful, these extra taxes increase the price of ciggarettes.

Liliana needs to furnish her new apartment. She found all the items she wanted on the manufacturer's website and can save over $
maw [93]

Answer: The price that Liliana will pay for shipping the furniture may be higher than the amount she saved.

Explanation:

Liliana wants a new furniture for her apartment which she found on the website of the manufacturer. From the information given in the question, we were informed that she will save $500 when she buys from the manufacturer directly.

From the information provided, the deal is good since she'll save $500 but the only thing that might stop her from making the purchase is when the shipping fee is more than the $500 she'll save. In that case, buying the furniture isn't really worth it as other options may be considered.

Answer:

These are the options for the question:

a) A negative cash flow from operating activities

2. Assume the cost object is the Manufacturing Department and that its total output is 15,500 units. a. How much total manufactu
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

There are three stages of assignment of costs to each product and these are as under:

  1. Allocation
  2. Apportionment
  3. Absorption / Activity Based costing

So this question relates to stage one. Suppose the following situation:

There are 2 departments and they have following expenses

Department A has a supervisor whose annual salary is $30000

Department B has a worker whose annual salary is $22000

Department A & B have shared a rented property for there operations.

Department A and B also shares electricity bills and annual electricity charges stand almost $80,000

Now the directly attributable / traceable cost to Department A are those that are hundred percent related to Department A. In this example, we saw that supervisor salary is the only cost that is hundred percent related to Department A. Likewise Worker's salary is also relateable to Department B. Whereas the rental cost and electricity bills are not directly attributable to these departments. So this means the manufacturing costs that are directly traceable are those that hundred percent relates to the manufacturing departments.
