Answer:

Charging Sales tax

Explanation:

Merchandising business is the kind of business, that buys or purchases the finished products and then resells them to the customers.

So, the merchandising business could act as a collection agency for the government through charging the sales tax. There is need to remit the government after collecting the tax and when it is done, the business will decrease the cash and the sales tax liability.

And it is the lability to the government until it is remitted by the business.

05) Assume that prices and wages adjust rapidly so that the markets for labor, goods, and assets are always in equilibrium. What

Kay [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. A temporary increase in government purchases would result in a reduction in savings, which would, in turn, lead to the implementation of higher taxes by the government so as to match prices and wages.

This would: make output to remain unchanged, real interest to increase and current price level to increase as well.

b. A reduction in expected inflation would lead to an increment in the demand for real money, as people do not expect inflation to increase for a while. Thus, more demand creates a reduction in the price level. Everything else remains unchanged. This would: make output remain unchanged, real interest remain unchanged and the current price level to decrease.

C. A temporary increase in labor supply would make more people have jobs and therefore more people can save. If more people save the interest rates are liable to decrease therefore money demand will increase. This would: make output to increase, real interest to decline and current price level to decrease.

d. An increase in the interest rate paid on money will lead to a higher demand for money. With an unchanged nominal money supply and higher money demand, the price would decline but everything remains unchanged. This would make: output remain unchanged, real interest remains unchanged and the current price level decrease.

Answer:

Contribution margin ratio:

For East Coast = 10%

For West Coast = 8.05%

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Contribution margin by sales territory report :

C C S Inc.

Contribution margin by Territory

Particulars East Coast West Coast

Sales (a) $8,400,000 $8,610,000

(30,000×$280)+(0×$130)

(21,000×$280)+(21,000×$130)

Less: variable cost of goods sold(b) $6,600,000 $6,657,000

(30,000×$220)+(0×$97)

(21,000×$220)+(21,000×$97)

Manufacturing margin (c=a-b) $1,800,000 $1,953,000

Less: Variable selling expense (d) $960,000 $1,260,000

(30,000×$32)+(0×$28)

(21,000×$32)+(21,000×$28)

Contribution margin (e=c-d) $840,000 $693,000

For East Coast:

Contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin ÷ Sales revenue)×100

=($840,000÷ $8,400,000)×100

= 10%

For west coast:

Contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin ÷ Sales revenue)×100

=($693,000 ÷ $8,610,000)×100

= 8.05%

Smith Fabricating uses job costing and applies overhead using a normal costing system and uses direct labour cost as the allocat

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: C. $950

Explanation:

Hello.

Your question was missing a few details so I threw them in. You'll find it in attachments.

To calculate the total Manufacturing costs for Job 201 we would need to calculate the overhead cost allocation rate first to find out how much Overhead to allocate to Job 201.

Using a normal costing system with direct labour cost as the allocation base,

Overhead allocation rate = (Overheads/Direct Labor Cost)*100

= (100,000/50,000)*100

=200%

Overhead allocation rate is 200% or 2x direct labor cost.

Now to calculate the total Manufacturing costs of Job 201,

Total manufacturing cost for Job 201 = Direct Material + Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overheads

= 350 + 200 + (200*2 for manufacturing overhead)

= 350 + 200 + 400

= $950

$950 is the total manufacturing cost for Job 201 making option C correct.
