Answer:

a) 8 dollars

b) 1,640,000

2.-  It should be rejected as decreases operating income to 410,000 from 1,640,000

contribution margin: $14

operating income: $ 410,000

Explanation:

Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin

68 - 60 = 8

b)

units sold x $8 contribution less fixed cost

410,000 x 8 - 1,640,000 = 1,640,000

2 contribution margin:

68 - 54 = 14

410,000 x 14 - 5,330,000 = 410,000

Department S had no work in process at the beginning of the period. 13,934 units of direct materials were added during the perio
love history [14]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Equivalent units of production(EUP) - Materials:

= Transferred out + Ending balance

= 10,451 units × 100% + 3,483 units × 100%

= 10,451 + 3,483

= 13,934

Equivalent units of production(EUP) - conversion:

= Transferred out + Ending balance

= 10,451 units × 100% + 3,483 units × 36%

= 10,451 + 1,253.88

= 11,704.88

Material cost = \frac{Cost\ of\ direct\ material}{EUP\ material}\times units\ transferred\ out

Material cost = \frac{97,538}{13,934}\times 10,451

                      = 73,157

Conversion cost = \frac{Direct labor+overhead}{EUP\ conversion}\times units\ transferred\ out

Conversion cost = \frac{51,257+8,903}{11,705}\times 10,451

Conversion cost = \frac{60,160}{11,705}\times 10,451

                            = 53,715

Therefore,

Total cost of units completed during the period(10,451 units):

= Material cost + Conversion cost

= 73,157 + 53,715

= 126,872

New corporate bond issues in excess of $50,000,000 are:________.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: C. II and III

Explanation:

Under the Security Act of 1933, new corporate bond issues of such high amounts are not exempt from the Act and so need to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Also, as the amount exceeds $50,000,000, the issue is subject to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 which states that the issuer should include certain protective provisions that are recommended by the SEC in order to protect bondholders. The adherence to these covenants will then be monitored by an independent trustee that is to be appointed by the Issuer.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

3. Supply of flour to increase.

Explanation:

The situation above is showing a<em> direct proportional relationship</em> between the "wheat," as a main ingredient of flour, and the flour itself.

If the price of wheat <em>decreases</em>, <u>suppliers will be interested in buying more of it in order to produce more quantities of flour at a </u><em><u>lower cost </u></em>because it will more likely lead to a<em><u> higher profit</u></em>. This will, therefore, increase the supply of flour in the market.
