Answer:
The total equivalent units for direct materials for October is 4,200
Explanation:
The Concept of Equivalent Units measures the number of units completed in terms of input element introduced in the process.
The Equivalent Units are Calculated on the units ending that is on the Units Completed and Units of Closing Work in Process
Note that materials are added at the beginning of the process
<u>Units Completed</u>
Are 100% complete in terms of Raw Materials
Equivalent units = 3900 × 100 % = 3900
<u>Units of Closing Work in Process</u>
Are 100% complete in terms of Raw Materials
Equivalent units = 30 × 100 % = 300
Total Equivalent Units = 3900+300 = 4,200
Answer:
The present value of the following series of cash flows discounted at 12 percent is:
$171,890
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Discount rate = 12%
$40,000 now;
$50,000 at the end of the first year;
$0 at the end of year the second year;
$60,000 at the end of the third year; and
$70,000 at the end of the fourth year
Future Value Discount Factor Present Value
$40,000 1 $40,000
$50,000 0.893 $44,650
$0 0.797 $0
$60,000 0.712 $42,720
$70,000 0.636 $44,520
Total present value $171,890
b) The present value is the discounted cash flow from series of future cash flows. The discount factor is applied to the individual cash flows, based on the number of years before the cash flow occurs.
Answer:
Urgency / Postponement leads to customer inelastic demand of ice melt.
Explanation:
Elasticity of demand is responsive change in demand of good, due to change in price. Formula = % change in demand / % change in price
Factors Affecting Price Elasticity of Demand : Nature of commodity, Income, substitutes availability, time period, urgency / postponement, share in total expenditure,
Inelastic Demand is when demand responds proportionately less to price change. % change in demand < % change in price
Case 'Customer critically needs ice melt to drive to work' : This has inelastic demand i.e demand less respondent to price changes (he will buy that at high price too). Such because of the urgency of this demand & less scope of its postponement.
