A deadweight loss is a consequence of a tax on a good because the tax a. induces the government to increase its expenditures. b.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

B) induces buyers to consume less, and sellers to produce less.

Explanation:

Taxes are a necessary evil since they always increase the price of the goods and services that consumers buy and decrease the amount of money that producers receive from selling their goods and services. But taxes are necessary and unavoidable.

But once a market assumes all the effects of existing taxes it reaches an equilibrium price that both consumers and producers are satisfied with. If a new tax is levied than the deadweight losses are greater since consumer surplus and producer surplus are both reduced. This will lead to a reduction in the incentive that both consumers and producers have to engage in transactions. Many times consumers will substitute heavily taxed goods for other goods since they feel they are getting more from consuming those goods (consumer surplus). The same happens to producers, many producers will change their heavily taxed goods for other goods.

If the price elasticity of demand or supply of a certain good is large (elastic demand and supply), the deadweight loss will be greater.

Kropf Inc. has provided the following data concerning one of the products in its standard cost system. Variable manufacturing ov

Ratling [72]

Answer:

a) The materials price variance 19026.33 unfav

b) Material Quantity Variance= $ 267 Unfav

c) Direct Labor Rate variance= $ 6127 Unfav

d) Direct labor Efficiency variance= 7710 Fav

e) Variable Overhead Rate Variance= 13099 fav

f) Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance= 3256.25 unfav

Explanation:

First We find the missing figures such as standard quantity ,hours allowed , actual price, rate. Then we list the formulae to use. After that we put in the values of the amounts in the formulae to get the results. Unfavorable variances are those in which the actual quantities are greater than the standard quantities or input .

Kropf Inc.

Given Standards

Direct materials 9.30 liters $ 8.90 per liter

Standard Quantity allowed = 9.3 * 11500= 106950 Litres

Direct labor 0.70 hours $ 25.70 per hour

Variable manufacturing overhead 0.70 hours $ 7.80 per hour

Standard Hours Allowed = $ 0.7 *11500= 8050

Actual Results Given

Actual output 11,500 units

Raw materials purchased 107,900 liters

Actual cost of raw materials purchased $ 979,500

Actual Price= Cost/ Purchases= $ 979,500/107,900 = $9.08

Raw materials used in production 106,980 liters

Actual direct labor-hours 7,750 hours

Actual direct labor cost $ 205,302

Actual Rate=$ 205,302 / 7,750 = $ 26.49

Actual variable overhead cost $ 55,414

Actual Overhead Rate= $ 55,414/7,750 = $ 7.15

Formulae to use

1)The materials price variance = (Actual Price * Actual Quantity)- (Standard Price * Actual Quantity)

2) Material Quantity Variance= (Standard Price * Actual Quantity)-(Standard Price * Standard Quantity)

3) Direct Labor Rate variance= (actual hours* actual rate)- (actual hours * standard rate)

4) Direct labor Efficiency variance= (actual hours* standard rate)- (standard hours * standard rate)

5) Variable Overhead Rate Variance= Actual Variable Overhead- Standard Variable Overhead

6)Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance=( Actual Hours * Standard Variable Overhead Rate)-( Standard Hours * Standard Variable Overhead Rate)

Working

1)The materials price variance = (Actual Price * Actual Quantity)- (Standard Price * Actual Quantity)

The materials price variance = ( $9.08*106,980 )- ($ 8.90 *106,980)

The materials price variance = (971148.38)- (952122)=19026.33 unfav

2) Material Quantity Variance= (Standard Price * Actual Quantity)-(Standard Price * Standard Quantity)

Material Quantity Variance=($ 8.90 *106,980)-($ 8.90 *106,950)= $ 267 Unfav

3) Direct Labor Rate variance= (actual hours* actual rate)- (actual hours * standard rate)

Direct Labor Rate variance= ( 7,750*$ 26.49)- (7,750*$ 25.70)= $ 6127 Unfav

4) Direct labor Efficiency variance= (actual hours* standard rate)- (standard hours * standard rate)

Direct labor Efficiency variance=(7,750*$ 25.70)-(8050*$ 25.70)= 7710 Fav

5) Variable Overhead Rate Variance= Actual Variable Overhead- Standard Variable Overhead

Variable Overhead Rate Variance=$ 55,414-( Actual Hours * Standard Variable Overhead Rate)

Variable Overhead Rate Variance=$ 55,414-(7,750*0.70 * $ 7.80)

Variable Overhead Rate Variance=$ 55,414- 42315= 13099 fav

6)Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance=( Actual Hours * Standard Variable Overhead Rate)-( Standard Hours * Standard Variable Overhead Rate)

Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance= (7,750*0.70 * $ 7.80)- (7,750*0.70 * $ 7.15)=42315- 38788.15= 3256.25 unfav

Linda decides to open a kiosk in the mall selling baseball hats. It costs her $2280 to stock 100 hats and $3580 to stock 500 hat

Liula [17]

Answer with Explanation:

1. Marginal Cost per Unit

As we know:

Marginal Cost per Unit = Change in Cost / Change in Quantity Bought

= ($3580 - $2280) / (500 - 100)

= $3.25 per Unit

2. Fixed Cost to setup

The fixed cost would be $2280 because it is the cost that is required for setting up the kiosk. The cost $3580 is not relevant because it depends on the demand of the product. The least cost to set up kiosk is $2280.

3. Cost Function

Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost

As we know that:

Variable Cost = Marginal cost per unit * Number of units = $3.25 * x = 3.25x

For Fixed cost $2280

By putting this value in the above equation, we have:

Total Cost = $2280 + 3.25x

C(x) = $2280 + 3.25x

And

For Fixed cost $3580

C(x) = $3580 + 3.25x

4. Revenue Function

Total Revenue = Selling Price per Unit * Total Units

Here

Selling price is $8 and total units are "x"

By putting values, we have:

Total Revenue = $8 * x

R(x) = 8x

5. Breakeven Point For $2280 and $3580

As we know that

Breakeven Point = Fixed Cost / Contribution Per unit

For Fixed Cost $2280:

Breakeven Point = $2280 / ($8 - $3.25)

= 480 Units

For Fixed Cost $2280:

Breakeven Point = $3580 / ($8 - $3.25)

= 754 Units

6. Profit Function

For Fixed Cost $2280:

Profit = Revenue Function - Cost Function

P(x) = 8x - ($2280 + 3.25x)

P(x) = 8x - $2280 - 3.25x

P(x) = 4.75x - $2280

For Fixed Cost $3580:

P(x) = 4.75x - $3580

7. Claire's Profit if she sells 1,000 bottles

Using the above profit function for fixed cost $2280, we have:

P(x) = 4.75x - $2280

Here x is 1,000 units, which means:

P(x) = 4.75 * 1,000 - $2280

P(x) = $4,750 - $2280 = $2,470

Using the above profit function for fixed cost $3,580, we have:

P(x) = 4.75x - $3,580

Here x is 1,000 units, which means:

P(x) = 4.75 * 1,000 - $3,580

P(x) = $4,750 - $3,580 = $1,170
