Answer:

Dress shirts are not a standardized (homogeneous) product.

Explanation:

Standardized products are more homogeneous in their characteristics and therefore more easily found, and the price also tends to be more influenced by competition, tending to be lower than the differentiated ones in the same range. Moreover, these products end up attracting a large number of producers and establishes imperfect competition between them.

The market characteristic of imperfect competition is one that is characterized by the great possibility for sellers to influence demand and prices by means of product differentiation, advertising, lower added value, brand, etc.

An example of a standardized product that establishes an imperfectly competitive market is the dress shirt.

Assume a company had the following production costs: Direct labor $ 2 per unit Direct material $ 3 per unit Variable overhead $

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Total production cost $ 14 per unit Under absorption costing True

The total product cost per unit when 4,000 units are produced would be $22.50 False

Explanation:

Direct labor $ 2 per unit

Direct material $ 3 per unit

Variable overhead $ 4 per unit

Total variable $ 9 per unit

Fixed overhead ($50,000/10,000 units) $ 5 per unit

Total production cost $ 14

Production Costs involve the fixed costs under absorption Costing. So the total Product cost under absorption costing is $ 14.

When 4,000 units are produced the production costs are as follows

Absorption Costing: 4,000 * 14= $ 56,000

Variable Costing : 4000 * 9= $ 36,000

So the second statement is false.

Companies HD and LD are both profitable, and they have the same total assets (TA), total invested capital, sales (S), return on

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Explanation:

Both company will have same Equity multiplier as total assets and equity are same of both companies. So Option A and B is incorrect.

Option C is also incorrect because there is no difference between the sales and total assets of both companies.

Option D is correct because the return on equity of the company LD is higher as the Net profit which is profit after interest and tax is higher than the profit after interest and tax of the company HD.

ROE = PAIT / Equity

Option E is wrong because when we say ROA is same this means that the operating income is same.

ROA = Operating profit / Total assets

Remember that the operating profit is earnings before interest and tax.
