Alekssandra [29.7K]

They can accomplish this through early retirement.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Early retirement is a way that we use to stop or discontinue something. Most of the aged person tends to choose early retirement for the purpose of achieving the benefits form the organisation to the most possible level. This decision can be taken when we know that the organisation will be closed in the near future and continuing work will not benefit us.

When we decide for the early retirement the befits that we attain from that will be more than  the benefit that are obtained in continuing work. In the given example, Hope college has a plan for next biennium. But, the enrollments are reduced in number and they want to reduce the payroll slowly. Thus this can be accomplished with the help of early retirement.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

$133,704

Explanation:

The budgeted required production for August is computed as follows:

Budgeted sales in units 9,000

Add desired ending inventory 5,560

(September sales of 13,900 units × 40%

= 5,560 units)

Total needs 14,560

Less beginning inventory 3,600

(August sales of 9,000 units × 40%

= 3,600 units.)

Required production 10,960

The budgeted raw material purchases for August are computed as follows:

Required production in units of finished goods 10,960

Units of raw materials needed per unit of finished goods 6

Units of raw materials needed to meet production(10,960×6) 65,760

Add desired units of ending raw materials inventory 7,688

(76,680 pounds × 10% = 7,668 pounds)

Total units of raw materials needed 73,428

Less units of beginning raw materials inventory 6,526

( 65,760 pounds × 10% = 6,576 pounds)

Units of raw materials to be purchased 66,852

The budgeted cost of raw material purchases for August is computed as follows:

Units of raw materials to be purchased (a)$66,852

Unit cost of raw materials (b)$2.00

Cost of raw materials to be purchased (a) × (b)$133,704
