Answer:

a) Price Relative for Halibut is 115.9 (1 d.p)

Price Relative for Lobster is 85.4 (1 d.p)

Price Relative for Tuna is 105.4 (1 d.p)

b) The Weighted Aggregate Price Index for the seafood catch is 98.4.

Explanation:

a) The Price Relative for a good refers to it's current price divided by it's base price times 100. It therefore measures a change in price across different periods.

Writing the formula as stated is,

Price Relative = Current Price / Base Price * 100

Price Relative for Halibut = 2.33/2.01 * 100

= 115.9 (1 d.p)

Price Relative for Lobster = 3.09/3.62 * 100

= 85.4 (1 d.p)

Price Relative for Tuna = 1.97/1.87 * 100

= 105.35

= 105.4 (1 d.p)

b) The Weighted Aggregate Price Index enables us to see how prices in a particular basket has changed over a period of time. It is calculated as follows,

Weighted Price Index = (Sum of Weighted Current Price ) / ( Sum of weighted Base Price) * 100

Sum of Weighted Current Price = (75,190 * 2.33) + (83,080 * 3.09) + ( 50,779 * 1.97)

= 538,124.53

Sum of Weighted Base Price = (75,190 * 2.01) + (83,080 * 3.62) + ( 50,779 * 1.87)

= 546,838.23

Weighted Price Index = (538,124.53 / 546,838.23) *100

= 98.4

The Weighted Aggregate Price Index for the seafood catch is 98.4.

Given:

Budgeted beginning finished goods inventory = $390,000

Budgeted production costs = $3,000,000

Budgeted ending finished goods inventory = $240,000

Find:

Budgeted cost of goods sold

Computation:

Budgeted cost of goods sold = budgeted beginning finished goods inventory + budgeted production costs - budgeted ending finished goods inventory

Budgeted cost of goods sold = $390,000 + $3,000,000 - $240,000

Budgeted cost of goods sold = $3,150,000
