Answer:

0.37, the demand is inelastic.

Explanation:

% change in price = $6- $2 = ($2 / $6) * 100 = 33%

% change in demanda =  800 - 700 = (100/800) * 100 = 12.5%

PED = 12.5 / 33 = 0.37.

The formula to calculate the PED is %change in demand / %change in price, and if we apply the formula according to the information provided, we found that the PED is 0.37. If the PED is between 0 and 1, we can conclude that we have an inelastic demand.

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

117,000 adjusted COGS

$$Beginning Inventory + Manufactured = Ending Inventory + COGS

35,000 + 136,000 = 48,000 + COGS

COGS = 123,000 before adjustment

overapplied overhead for 6,000

In Mordica Company, total materials costs are $35,500, and total conversion costs are $54,000. Equivalent units of production ar
MrMuchimi

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Material Cost per unit = Total Material Cost  ÷  Equivalent units of production

                                    =  $35,500 ÷ 10,000  units

                                    = $3.55

Conversion Cost per unit = Total conversion cost ÷  Equivalent units of production

                                          =  $54,000 ÷ 12,000  units

                                          = $4.5

Total Manufacturing cost per unit = Material cost per unit + conversion cost per unit

                                                        = 3.55 + 4.5

                                                        = $8.05
