Answer:

Sugar mills will not sell to private businesses, but rather sell to the government. This will force the price back up to $18.75

Explanation:

When there is a situation that will result in fall of equilibrium price, sellers can protect themselves by creating artificial scarcity in the private sector.

By selling to the government they are still engaging in business. The private firms will have to pay more for scarce sugar in the market, thereby pushing the price back up.

Presented below are incomplete manufacturing cost data.
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the missing amount is as follows

As we know that

Total manufacturing costs is

= Direct materials cost + Direct labor cost + Factory overhead  cost

And,

Cost of goods manufactured is

= Total manufacturing costs + Beginning work in process - ending work in process

Based on this, the calculation is as follows

  <u> Direct materials Direct labor Factory       Total</u>

<u>                                                       overhead  manufacturing costs </u>

1. $44,000               $62,200     $51,100        $157,300

2. $78,500             $77,500     $144,000       $300,000

3. $58,600            $138,400     $114,000       $311,000

Now

<u>  Total Manufacturing Costs Beg. Work   End. Work  Cost of Goods </u>

<u>                                               in Process  in Process  Manufactured </u>

1. $157,300                           $122,000     $85,200      $194,100

2. $300,000                         $123,400        $99,800     $323,600

3. $311,000                            $465,000       $57,000     $719,000

Firm A and Firm B have the same total assets, ROA and profit margin. However, Frim B has a higher debt ratio and interest expens
SashulF [63]

Answer:

A.) Firm B must have a higher ROE than first A.

Explanation:

Debt ratio is defined as percentage of a company's assets that is made up of debt and so it is calculated as a ratio of debt to assets of a company.

Interest expense is the amount that is paid to service a loan.

This implies that company B has higher loan portfolio than Company A.

Considering the accounting formula

Equity= Asset- Debt

So an increase in debt will result in a decrease in equity.

Return on equity= Net income/Equity

It follows that as debt increases and equity reduces, the ROE will increase since a shrink in the ROE denominator (Equity) will lead to an increase in the ratio.

VikaD [51]

Complete question:

Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below:

Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard  Cost

Direct materials 4.6 pounds $ 2.50 per pound $ 11.50

Direct labor 0.2 hours $ 12.00 per hour $ 2.40

During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded:

a. Eleven thousand two hundred pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.90 per pound.

b. The company produced only 1,120 units, using 10,080 pounds of material. (The rest of the material purchased remained in raw materials inventory.)

c. Five hundred and forty eight hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $6,576.

Solution:

Direct Material price Variance

= (Actual Price - Standard price) x Actual Quantity

= ($2.90 - $2.50) x 10,080 = $4032 (F)

Standard Quantity = 1,120 x 4.6 = 5,152 pounds

Direct Material Quantity Variance

= (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity) x Standard Price

= (10,080 - 5,152  ) x $2.50 = $12,320 (U)

‘An enterprise may capture value through either innovation leadership or innovation followership'. Discuss this statement with t
Gala2k [10]

Explanation:

This statement is true, due to the fact that a company to stand out in the market must have a strategy that guarantees significant advantages over its competitors, that is, the company must be prepared to have its own identity in the market that gives it value, what can be achieved through innovation.

An example of innovation leadership and followers of innovation is the case of entrepreneur Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, a pioneer in internet sales. It can be said that through the innovative vision that Jeff Bezos has, he managed to found a company that sold books online in 1994, a time when the internet was not so widespread and few people had access. Therefore, Bezos, through leadership in innovation, transformed his company into an empire with several different businesses, always following technological changes and people's behaviors, to always follow market innovations and keeping his company always competitive, being a world technology giant.
