What is broad averaging, and what consequences can it have on costs? Broad averaging is when a company or organization spreads the cost of resources across different objects to help the individual products or services stay equal. When a company does this they are assigning the costs of resources uniformly to cost objects. Broad averaging directly relates to costs because they can mislead an organizations data reports by spreading out the costs inappropriately.

For the answer to the question above, when applying that to a business, you are ignoring the variation in the consumption of resources by the different cost of objects or products that can lead to inaccurate and misleading cost data. In that result, it can negatively impact the marketing and operating decisions.

That costing method or approach uses a broad averaging for applying the cost of resources uniformly to cost objects. When in fact those are not uniform ways at all.

Implicit Cost Explicit Cost The wholesale cost for the pianos that Darnell pays the manufacturer $452,000 The salary Darnell could earn if he worked as an accountant $48,000 The wages and utility bills that Darnell pays $301,000 The rental income Darnell could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom $38,000 B. Profit ($) Accounting Profit 842,000 - 452,000 - 301,000 = 89,000 Economic Profit 842,000 - 452,000 - 301,000 - 48,000 - 38,000 = 3,000 C. Economic Profit as an accountant = 48,000 + 38,000 - 89,000 = -$3,000. Thus, Darnell should stay in the Piano business to maximize the Economic Profit.

The following information is provided for Sacks Company. Cash $ 12,000 Supplies 4,500 Prepaid rent 2,000 Salaries expense 4,500

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The amount of total liabilities is $5,000

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the accounting equation which is shown below:

Total assets = Total liabilities + owner's equity

where,

Total assets = Cash + supplies + prepaid rent + equipment

= $12,000 + $4,500 + $2,000 + $65,000

= $83,500

Owner's equity = common stock + ending retained earning balance

where,

Ending retained earning balance = Beginning retained earning balance + net income - dividend paid

The net income = Service revenue - Miscellaneous expenses - salaries expense

= $30,000 - $20,000 - $4,500

= $5,500

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the ending retained earning balance would equal to

= $8,000 + $5,500 - $3,000

= $10,500

And, the owner equity = $68,000 + $10,500 = $78,500

So, the total liabilities would be

= $83,500 - $78,500

= $5,000
