Umm I'd have to say c or d
Answer:
Consider the following explanation
Explanation:
a) J. Crew is issuing its catalogs monthly in response to inflation. This will incur cost and it is known as 'Menu Cost'.
b) Grandpa has bought annuity which has promised $10,000 a year for the rest of his life. However, higher than expected inflation means grandpa has lesser purchasing power. This is loss of purchasing power and also 'redistribution cost'. In higher inflation borrower tends to get benefit. Here insurance company is at the gain.
c) Maria is witnessing loss of purchasing power because of hyper inflation. In such scenario, cost keeps rising and product's price could be higher a few hours later. This was witnessed in Germany as well as in Zimbabwe. People run to the stores as soon as they get cash or salary. It is known as 'shoe leather cost'. People make frequent trips to banks or stores but do not keep cash in fear of losing value.
d) Gita actually earned only 5% on her portfolio but as her income is in taxable bracket so she has to pay 20% tax. Her income from portfolio not even compensated inflation. This is a redistribution cost and also known as fiscal drag. More people fall into bracket because higher nominal income but real income is neglected which makes people worse off.
e) Father thinks that son is earning far more than him but inflation over the period of time erodes purchasing power and it could be possible that current income might be lower, same or higher comparing to inflation data. However, if it is lower then it is obviously loss of purchasing power.

<u><em>Transferred units:</em></u>
beginning + started - ending = transferred
35,000 + 71,000 - 39,000 = 71,000
Labor cost: 581,000 + 56,400 = 637,400
equivalent units for conversion: 117,700
(trasnferrred + percentage of completion ending WIP)
<em><u>Equivalent unit cost:</u></em>
637,400 / 117,700 = 5,415463
Answer:
Minimum transfer price = $21
Explanation:
<em>Transfer price is the price at which goods are exchange between branches or divisions of the same group</em>
<em>Where a division is operating at the less than the existing capacity, to optimist the group profit, the minimum transfer price should be set as follows</em>
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost
Note that the fixed of $12 per unit (i.e 33-21) is irrelevant for this purpose, whether or not Hinges produces, it will be incurred either way.
It is worthy of note that there is no opportunity cost associated with any transfer to the Doors division because Hinges is currently having excess capacity.
Therefore, any offering price equal to or above the variable cost of $21 would be acceptable and optimize the group profit.
Hence, the minimum transfer price = $21
Answer:
Option D , $15.12
Explanation:
Weighted-average method
:
Materials
Units transferred to the next department = 10,300
Ending work in process:
Materials: 1,200 units × 90% = 1080
Equivalent units of production =10,300+1080= 11,380
Materials
Cost of beginning work in process inventory= $2,700
Costs added during the period = $173,900
Total cost (a) =$173,900+$2,700 = $176,600
Equivalent units of production (b)= 11,380
Cost per equivalent unit (a) ÷ (b) = $15.51
The cost per equivalent unit for materials for the month in the first processing department is closest to $15.51
