Explanation:
Shortages are avoided by producers as much as possible in order not to cause disequilibrium in the market. Shortages are not the same as scarcity. They are temporary setbacks when the quantity demanded outstrips the quantity supplied at the equilibrium market price. The backlashes result in lost sales and revenue for suppliers. Shortages may clear ways for competitors to enter the market to meet the unsatisfied demand.

When preparing the operating budgets for a manufacturing company, the manufacturing overhead budget includes costs that are projected by the cost accountant and the production manager. It contains the all <span>manufacturing costs and expenses, except the direct materials (raw materials) and direct labor. </span>
Answer:
$506,800
Explanation:
The calculation of budgeted materials cost is shown below:-
For computing the budgeted materials cost first we need to find out the total materials for production and materials to be purchased which is here below:-
Total materials for production = Budgeted production × Pounds of raw material per unit
= 35,000 × 4
= 140,000
Materials to be purchased = Total materials for production + Ending raw materials inventory - January 1 inventory
= 140,000 + (39,000 × 4 × 30%) - 42,000
= 140,000 + 46,800 - 42,000
= 186,800 - 42,000
= 144,800
Budgeted materials cost for January = Materials to be purchased × Cost per pound
= 144,800 × $3.50
= $506,800
John is the <u>internal customer</u> of Bill.
An internal customer is someone within the business that relies on the assistance or work of <em>someone else in the business</em> to do their work. In this case John relies on the software that Bill creates.
Another example would be a marketer who relies on the graphic designer to create an ad before the marketer can use it in an ad campaign.
