Christmas Timber, Inc., produces Christmas trees. The trees are produced through a cutting and pruning process. Machine maintena

nce and janitorial labors are performed throughout the production process by nonproduction employees. Maintenance and janitorial costs are allocated based on machine hours used and the number of trees in each department, respectively. The company estimates that the cutting and pruning areas typically have about 6 and 54 trees, respectively, in them at 1 time. The company also estimates that the cutting process requires about 9 times as many machine hours as the pruning process. The total costs of each department are as follows:
Maintenance Department $7,800
Janitorial Department 5,000
Cutting Department 54,500
Pruning Department 11,000

Using the direct method of support department cost allocation, determine the total cost of each production department after allocating all support costs to the production departments.

Answer:

Cutting = $62,020

Pruning = $16,280

Explanation:

<em>The direct method does not consider the impact of reciprocal servicing arrangement when allocating the overhead  of service centers and only allocates overhead to the production cost centers only.</em>

Allocation of Overhead

Janitorial overhead

Cutting = 6/(6+54)×   $5,000 = $500

Pruning =54/(6+54) ×  $5,000= $4,500

Maintenance overhead

Cutting = 9/(9+1)×   $7,800 = $7020

Pruning =1/(9+1) ×  $7,800= $780

Total cost of production department

Cutting = 54,500 + 500 + 7020= 62,020

Pruning department = 11,000 + 4,500 + 780 = 16,280

Cutting = $62,020

Pruning = $16,280

3) When there are more substitutes for a product, the ________ for the product is ________. A) demand; less price elastic
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Explanation:

The implication of this is that the demand of such product will drop when there is increase in it price because people can get another product which will play the same role with the previous at a lesser price. Hence, the demand for the product vis more price elastic.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:S 610

Explanation:

To get a return of 10% of sales price is to have a profit of S85 which is 10% of S850.

Handling cost per unit S6000/6000 unit=S1

Other handling cost per unit S59

Raw materials per unit=S95

Target conversations and administrative cost is

850-X-60-95=85

850-X-155=85

-X=85+155-850

-X=-610

X=610

In autarky, when a country maximizes its utility, its consumption point is:
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

b. On the production possibility frontier.

Explanation:

The production possibility frontier is a curve showing various combinations of the maximum production volumes of several goods (goods or services) that can be created under conditions of full employment using all resources available in the economy. Different release combinations reflect different uses of limited resources. For example, labor can be used in the production of various goods. The use of a unit of labor in the production of one good leads to the impossibility of its use in the production of any other good. Therefore, an increase in output in one sector of the economy leads to opportunity costs in the form of a decrease in output in another sector. In different sectors of the economy, resources can be used with different efficiency, therefore, the curve of production opportunities reflects a complex nonlinear relationship between different combinations of output. The intensity of resource use depends on the presence of other factors of production. For example, labor productivity depends on the availability of capital, as well as on the level of technology. The issue is also influenced by the law of diminishing marginal returns: with an increase in a resource and an unchanged number of other resources, the marginal return will decrease. The production capability curve is part of the optimal resource allocation task.

In autarky, when there happens the utility maximization the consumption point which is also equilibrium condition case, will be on the production possibility frontier. Because the consumption point will satisfy the problem and be the solution to make the equilibrium.
