During the current period, Department A finished and transferred 50,000 units to Department B. Of the 50,000 units, 20,000 were

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A. $1,615

Explanation:

Provided information,

Total transferred units = 50,000

Opening units = 20,000 which were 1/5 th complete

Equivalent units = 4,000

That means on the remaining 20,000 - 4,000 = 16,000 units full overheads were applied.

30,000 units were started and completed during the month, for which entire overheads will be added.

Newly started = 10,000 units 3/5th complete = 6,000 units completed in closing inventory.

Therefore total equivalent completed units on which overheads applied = 16,000 + 30,000 + 6,000 = 52,000 units

Ending goods in inventory = 10,000 units which are 6,000 equivalent units completed

Total overheads for the month = $14,000

Overheads = $14,000/52,000 = 0.269 per unit

For 6,000 units = $1,615 .38

Therefore correct option is

A. $1,615

When the aggregate supply curve is vertical, which of the following is not true? Group of answer choices The economy is producin

Anni [7]

Answer:

The economy is expanding quickly.

Explanation:

Aggregate supply is a measure of the total supply of goods and services made available by the supplier in an economy.

The normal aggregate supply curve is one with a positive slope. That is as price increases there is an increase in aggregate supply, and when price reduces aggregate supply also reduces.

However when aggregate supply curve is vertical, only one level of output is produced no matter the rise or fall of price.

This indicates that the economy is producing at capacity, and any increase in price will not result in increase in output.

It does not mean that the economy is expanding quickly.

A company sells two products. Product A sells for $10.00 per unit and Product B sells for $8.00 per unit. Variable costs are $3.

Yuri [45]

Answer:

$6.55

Explanation:

A company sells two products. Product A sells for $10.00 per unit and Product B sells for $8.00 per unit. Variable costs are $3.00 for Product A and $2.50 for Product B. If the sales mix is 70% Product A and 30% Product B, the weighted average contribution margin is _____.

Step 1

Calculate Contribution per product = Selling Price - Variable Costs

Contribution for A = 10 - 3 = 7

Contribution for B = 8 - 2.5 = 5.5

Step 2

Multiply the Contribution per product by its sales mix

A = 7 x 70% = 4.9

B = 5.5 x 30% = 1.65

Step 3

Add up the weighted contribution margins for each product

Therefore the the weighted average contribution margin for both product is (4.9 + 1.65) = $6.55
