Answer:

Gunst should produce 500 Bio-mutant games:

  • total contribution margin = $71 x 500 = $35,500

Explanation:

                                   Android          Bio-mutant          Cyclops

selling price                  $100                 $107                   $125

labor                               $48                  $24                     $60

direct materials               $9                    $8                       $16

variable overhead          $7                     $4                        $9

contribution margin      $36                   $71                      $40

labor hours                        4                       2                          5

Bio-mutant generates by far the largest contribution margin and requires the least direct labor hours.

Gunst should produce 500 Bio-mutant games:

  • total revenue = $107 x 500 = $53,500
  • total contribution margin = $71 x 500 = $35,500

If it produces 250 Android games its total contribution margin will = $9,000

If it produces 200 Cyclops games its total contribution margin will = $8,000

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

COGS    3807 debit

FG          7896 debit

WIP         2397 debit

  Factory Overhead  14,100 credit

--to record the underapplication of overhead--

Explanation:

overhead rate:

\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate

$515,000 overhead /  515,000 labor cost = $1

each labor cost generates a dollar of overhead.

221,400 x 1 =   221,400 overhead in COGS

459,200 x 1 = 459,200 overhead in Finished Goods

139,400 x 1 =   139,400 overhead in WIP inventory

Total applied  820,000

Actual            805,900

Underapplied    14,100

Now we weight each concept and determiante the portion underapplocated in each concept

What were the economic changes that revolutionized manufacturing in the eighteenth century and led to the factory system?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The industrial revolution affected the whole global economy, social relations, and culture.

The industrial revolution changed how goods were manufactured, and it all started with the European accumulation of capital and the invention of the steam engine.

The two major sources of energy were coal and oil that were used to power steam engines that moved machinery using water steam. That led to work specialization and urbanization (people moving into large urban areas).

The industrial revolution first started in northwestern Europe, but it then spread to the US, Russia and Japan. The global economy developed new patterns of global trade and production between nations that produced resources and those that processed them and produced goods.

Exporting economies grew around the world because of the need for exporting both raw materials and food supplies from resource producing nations, and the need for exporting finished goods form industrialized nations.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Total equivalent units= 11,890

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Assembly Department completes 10,200 gadgets and transfers them to Finished Goods Inventory.

The Assembly Department has 2,600 gadgets in the process that are 65% complete for conversion.

<u>To calculate the equivalent units, we need to multiply the % complete for the number of units started:</u>

Units completed= 10,200

Units in ending inventory= 2,600*0.65= 1,690

Total equivalent units= 11,890

The concept of risk and return is subjective for different people, as well as for corporations.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Risk and Return

1. Joe is an average investor. His financial advisor gave him options of investing in stock A, with a σ of 12%, and stock B, with a σ of 9%. Both stocks have the same expected return of 16%. Joe can pick only one stock and decides to invest in stock B.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

2. Marcie works for an educational technology firm that recently launched its employee stock option plan (ESOP). Marcie allocated all her investments in the ESOP.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

3. rin wants to invest in a hedge fund that has had a very strong performance track record. The hedge fund has given its investors a return of over 60% for the past five years. Although Erin is tempted to put her money in the fund, she decides to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund’s assets, because she is aware that past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

Explanation:

1. Joe's decision to invest in stock B is a good financial decision.  Since both investments have the same returns, the decision on which investment to take shifts to the standard deviation of the returns, which specifies the variability of the returns.  Invariably, the investment with less standard deviation should win the vote.  Therefore, Joe's decision is a good financial decision because investment in B has a standard deviation of 9% unlike A's 12%.

2. Putting all eggs in one market as Marcie had done by allocating all her investments in the ESOP is not a good financial decision, theoretically.  It is always best to spread the risks, though higher-yielding investments (returns) bear higher risks.

3. The decision of Erin to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund's assets, despite its past performance is a good financial decision.  Due diligence reveals some behind-the-scene information that are instrumental in making sound business decisions.  Who are the present managers of the fund?  What systems are in place in the entity to guarantee similar future performance, all things being equal?  What market's sentiments and information are available for consideration?  These questions, and many others can be answered through a due diligence.  Surely, "past performance is no guarantee of future results."
