Answer:
It is more profitable to continue processing the units.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Product A:
Units= 23,000
Selling price= $420,000
Continue processing:
Product B= 6,000 units sold for $106 each
Product C= 11,900 units sold for $52 each
Total cost= $280,000
We need to calculate the effect on the income of both options and choose the most profitable on<u>e. We will not take into account the first costs of Product A because they are irrelevant.</u>
Option 1:
Effect on income= $420,000
Option 2:
Effect on income= (6,000*106) + (11,900*52) - 280,000
Effect on income= $974,800
It is more profitable to continue processing the units.

Answer:
1) completed and transferred 293,000
<u><em>Equivalent units under W/A method:</em></u>
EU materials 338,500
EU conversion 306,000
Explanation:
Beginning WIP 33,000
started and completed <u>260,000</u>
completed and transferred 293,000
Ending WIP 65,000
EU under weighted-average methood:
complete and transferred plus percentage of completion ending WIP
293,000 + 65,000 x 70% = 338,500
293,000 + 65,000 x 20% = 306,000
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
The statement is “True” because the Philip curve is the curve that exhibits the relationship between the inflation or price level and unemployment. If inflation rises, then unemployment falls. If inflation falls, then unemployment rises. This happens because there is a negative relationship between inflation and unemployment. However in the long run the Philip curve is a verticle line parallel to the inflation axis and that shows there is no trade-off. Thus the option A is correct.
Answer:
Quantitatively, Harlan Bikes is justified in deciding to close the department, but there are other qualitative factors that need to be considered which may result in the company loosing much more that they can save if the department is closed, such as for example a decrease in employee morale, a negative signalling effect to other stakeholders, a drop in sales in related products etc.
Explanation:
A decrease in employee morale can result especially if workers in other departments are no-longer sure about their future in the company, resulting from fears of their departments being closed. This can negatively affect productivity resulting in lower profits in other department.
A negative signalling effect means that other stakeholders such as investors and creditors may start questioning managements ability to profitably run the business, and the company will be perceived as more risky. Cost of debt and cost of equity capital for example, may go up, due to this higher perceived risk, and which may reduce the number of positive net present value projects that the company can undertake due to an increase in cost of capital.
If the company carries related products in other departments, it may also see a drop in sales in those sales, which will effectively reduced the savings that are estimated to be gained from closing the division.
