Answer:
The correct answer is d. $0.31 per client-visit; $24,766 per month.
Explanation:
The costs can be of fixed nature or a variable nature or of a mixed nature. A mixed costs contains a component of both fixed and variable costs. The high-low method is used to calculate the variable component per unit of a mixed cost. Th formula for high low method is:
Variable cost per unit = (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost) / (Highest activity level - Lowest activity level)
the highest activity is in June, 13400 client visits and the highest cost is also of this activity. The lowest activity is in August, 11207 client visits and the lowest cost belongs to this activity.
Variable cost per unit = (28920 - 28235) / (13400 - 11207)
Variable cost per unit = $0.31 rounded off to two decimal places
The fixed cost = Total cost - total variable cost
Taking 13400 activity,
The fixed component is = 28920 - (0.31 * 13400) = $24766 per month
Thus, the correct answer is d.
Answer:
$160 overapplied
Explanation:
Icy Mocha company estimates it's factory overhead costs to be $35,000 and machine hours to be 5,000 for a period of one year.
The actual number of hours worked on job 333 and 334 equals a total of 4,980
The actual factory overhead costs are $34,700
The first step is to calculate the predetermined overhead rate
= Overhead costs/machine hours
= $35,000/5,000
= $7
The amount of either over or underapplied factory costs can be calculated as follows
= predetermined overhead rate×actual number of hours worked
= $7×4,980
= $34,860
The amount is then subtracted from the actual overhead costs
= $34,700-$34860
= -$160
= $160 overapplied
Hence the amount of overapplied factory overhead is $160
Answer:
20,000 units
Explanation:
Number of units in inventory at the end of quarter 3
= 3(42,500)
=127,500
Hence:
127,500- 37,500-45,000-25,000
= 20,000 units
Therefore if production strategy is used the number of units in inventory at the end of quarter 3 is 20,000 units
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": demand curve to the right and make demand less elastic.
Explanation:
Investing in advertising has one goal: <em>increasing profits</em>. There are many ways of increasing the revenue of a company being the most common increasing the quantity demanded. However, increasing the quantity demanded -<em>moving the demand curve to the right</em>- implies bringing the prices down -<em>demand law</em>, but we do not know how the market will react.
Then, advertising should also help institutions marketing that will help them make their products less <em>elastic </em>or less prone to major changes in quantity demanded due to changes in price.
