Answer: a) increase in the demand for Kindles.

Explanation: the substitution effect for substitute goods gives that, if the price of good A rises, the demand for good B rises. Since a substitute good is a good that can be used in place of another, they are goods that a consumer perceives as similar or are comparable, in such a way that having more of one good causes the consumer to desire less of the other good. From the viewpoint of price, and given that consumers always prefer to spend less in instances where two goods are substitutes, it then means that Kindle can be used and preferred in place of Nooks given that the price of Nooks had gone up. Therefore, increasing the price of Nooks causes a corresponding increase in the demand for Kindles.

Toan Inc. uses a job-order costing system in which any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to cost of goods sold at t

Lerok [7]

Answer:

$129,000

Explanation:

The computation of the unadjsuted cost of goods sold is shown below:

Before that we need to compute the total cost and cost per unit which are as follows

Total cost

= Beginning balance + Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead cost applied

= $66,700 + $494,500 + $158,700 + $269,100

= $989,000

And, Units completed is 23,000 units

So, the cost per unit is

= Total cost ÷ Number of units completed

= $989,000 ÷ 23,000 units

= $43

And, the number of units sold is 3,000 units

So, the cost of good sold unadjusted is

= Number of units sold × cost per unit

= 3,000 units × $43

= $129,000

Hodgkiss Mfg., Inc., is currently operating at only 92 percent of fixed asset capacity. Current sales are $780,000. Fixed assets

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

$17,835.90

Explanation:

Currently Hodgkiss is operating at 92% of its fixed asset capacity, so they have an spare 8% to grow without adding any more fixed assets: ($780,000 / 92) x 100 = $847,826.09.

So they need to add fix assets in to increase its production by $32,173.91 (= $880,000 - $847,826.09).

Every dollar spent in fixed assets generates at full capacity $1.8039 in production output (= $847,826 / $470,000).

If they want to increase production by $32,174, they will need to spend $17,835.90 in fixed assets.
