Solution:

1) Finished goods inventory cost $48300

2) a. Higher operating income method variable costing

2) b. Difference in reported income $26,390

1. To know the number of units remaining in closing stock :

Opening inventory + production - sales => 2200 + 19300 - 20600

                                                                => 900 units

Now,

Cost per unit under variable cost = (direct material + direct labour + variable manufacturing overhead)/ number of units manufactured

=>($573,210 + $277,920 + $185,280) / 19,300

=>$53.7 per unit

finished goods inventory cost using variable costing = $53.7*900 units                      

                                                                                      =>$48300

2) a. variable costing

Since the number of units in closing inventory reduced, the variable costing will show a higher income.

2) b. difference in reported income

= (change in closing units ) *( current year overhead absorption)

here,

change in closing units = 2,200 units - 900 units

                                       =>1300 units

current year overhead absorption = fixed manufacturing overhead / units produced.

=> 391,790 / 19,300 units

=>$20.3 per unit

now,

difference in reported income = $20.3 * 1,300 units

                                                  =>$26,390

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense using straight line method is shown below:

Formula to be used:

= (Purchase cost - salvage value) ÷ (estimated service life)

For 2021

= ($35,000 - $5,000) ÷ (10 years)

= $3,000

For 4 months, it would be

= $3,000 × 4 months ÷ 12 months

= $1,000

And, for the year 2021, it would be the same i.e. $3,000

Airlines can price discriminate by determining people's _______ to pay for luggage accommodations. Some customers will check a b
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Willingness to pay

Revenue

Two

Elastic

Inelastic

Explanation:

Price discrimination is when a producer or a seller charges different prices for the same product usually in different markets.

In price discrimination, a seller attempts to remove or reduce consumer surplus by charging the consumer at his willingness to pay. For price discrimination to be effective, a seller must be able to estimate the willingness to pay of consumers.

Price discrimination is successful when a seller earns higher profits when she discriminates compared to when she didn't price discriminate.

Price discrimination exists in the airline industry. One of the ways price discrimination exists in the airline industry is through charging to check bags. Customers ( people who board airplanes) are distributed into two groups- those who won't pay to check bags and those who would pay to check bags.

It is assumed that those who would pay to check their bags have a price inelastic demand because they are indifferent to paying an extra amount for their luggage.

Inelastic demand is defined as when a small change in price has no effect on quantity demanded.

While it is assumed that those who won't pay to check their bags have an elastic demand because they are unwilling to pay extra to check their luggages.

Elastic demand is when a change in price has effect on quantity demanded.

Widmer requires a minimum $15,000 cash balance. If necessary, loans are taken to meet this requirement at a cost of 1% interest
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Widmer's Cash Budget for January, February, and March

January:

Opening Balance - $15,000

Cash Receipts - $30,000

Less Payments - $38,500

Difference - $6,500

Loan - $8,500

Closing Balance - $15,000

February:

Opening Balance - $15,000

Cash Receipts - $87,000

Less Payments - $85,000

Less Interest on loan -$85

Difference - $16,915

Loan Repayment- $1,915

Closing Balance - $15,000

March:

Opening Balance - $15,000

Cash Receipts - $85,000

Less Payments - $65,000

Less Interest on loan -$65.85

Difference - $34,934.15

Loan Repayment- $6,585

Closing Balance - $28,349.15

Explanation:

In January, $6,500 cash balance necessitated the taking of a loan of $8,500 in order to bring it to $15,000 required minimum.

In February, 1% interest was paid on $8,500 loan.  This gives $85.  Part of the loan ($1,915) was repaid to maintain the cash balance at $15,000.

In March, the interest on loan was 1% on  $6,585 $(8,500 -1,915) or the loan balance.  This gives $65.85 as interest paid.  The loan balance was also repaid because of the excess cash balance.
