Answer:

a. inflation is a rise in the general price level over time while deflation is a fall in the general price level over time.

Explanation:

Inflation occurs when the prices of goods and services rises over time. For example, a bag of cookies today is, for example, $1. If in a year it is $1.20, there was an inflation.

Deflation occurs when the prices of goods and services decreases over time. For example, a bag of cookies today is, for example, $1. If in a year it is $0.80, there was a deflation.

So, the correct answer is:

a. inflation is a rise in the general price level over time while deflation is a fall in the general price level over time.

Answer:

1) total equivalent units:

materials = 73,000

conversion = 81,500

2) costs assigned to ending WIP:

materials = $23,013.70

conversion = $27,288.32

Explanation:

beginning WIP 78,000 + 10,000 - 73,000 = 15,000

materials = 100% (0 added during the period)

conversion = 30% (70% added during the period, 10,500 EU)

units started 73,000

units finished 78,000

units started and finished = 63,000

ending WIP 10,000

materials = 100%

conversion = 80%, 8,000 EU

Beginning WIP

Materials $24,000

Conversion $35,000

Costs added during the period:

Materials $168,000

Conversion $278,000

total equivalent units:

materials = 73,000

conversion = 10,500 + 63,000 + 8,000 = 81,500

cost per EU:

Materials = $168,000 / 73,000 = $2.30137

Conversion = $278,000 / 81,500 = $3.41104

costs assigned to ending WIP:

materials = 10,000 x $2.30137 = $23,013.70

conversion = 8,000 x $3.41104 = $27,288.32

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 33,333.33 units

Explanation:

<em>The break-even point (BEP) is the quantity of each product to be sold such that the business makes no profit or loss. </em>

The beak-even point can be determined as follows:

The Break-even point in sales = Total general fixed cost / Contribution per unit margin

Contribution per unit = Contribution margin ration × selling price

= 40%×11.25 =4.5

The break-even point (in unit) = 150,000/ 4.5 =33,333.33

break-even point in units= 33,333.33 units

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula to compute the percentage of amount due for each month is shown below:

= (Month wise amount due) ÷ (Total receivables) × 100

For April:

= ($156,240) ÷ ($390,600) × 100

= 40%

For March:

= ($78,120) ÷ ($390,600) × 100

= 20%

For February:

= ($117,180) ÷ ($390,600) × 100

= 30%

For January:

= ($39,060) ÷ ($390,600) × 100

A coffee manufacturer uses Colombian and Brazilian coffee beans to produce two blends, robust and mild. A pound of the robust bl

tester [92]

Answer:

•8.74 pounds of robust blend

• 1.25 pounds of mild blend

Explanation:

We are given:

•12 ounces, 6 ounces of mild blend Colombian beans

•4 ounces, 10 ounces of mild blend Brazilian beans.

From the question, we get the following equations:

1) Colombian: 12x + 6y = 1800

2) Brazilian: 4x + 10y = 760

Let's multiply the Brazilian equation by 3, we now have:

Colombian: 12x + 6y = 1800

Brazilian : 12x + 30y = 2280

Solving simultaneously, we have:

-24y = - 480

Therefore,

y = -480/-24

y= 20 oz

y = 20 oz ( divide by 16 to convert to pounds) = 1.25 pounds

Let's solve for x from Brazilian equation:

4x + 10y = 760

Therefore, since y = 20, we have:

4x + 10(20) = 760

= 4x + 200 = 760

= 4x = 760 - 200

= 4x = 560

Therefore

x = 560/4

x = 140

140 oz = 8.74 pounds

Therefore, they should make;

8.74 pounds of robust blend and 1.25 pounds of mild blend.
