Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is important to note that freight forwarders provide all the services necessary to move products from origin to destination using their network of service providers. Which reduces transit time because they can provide document services, customs clearance, or any other service.

Also Shipping companies provide a better rate to Freight forwarders that ships bigger volumes, and this often leads to savings in shipping cost.

sweet [91]

Answer:

The monthly fixed manufacturing cost is $7500.

Explanation:

Variable cost per unit = change in total cost / change in no of units

                                    = 6900-5000/8000-4200  

                                    = 0.5 per unit

Fixed cost = Total manfacturing cost - variable cost at a 4200 level

                 = 5000 - (4200*0.5)

                 = 5000 - 2100

                 = $2900

If company produces 9200 units:  

Total manfacturing costs = fixed costs + 9200*variable cost per unit

                                          = 2900 + (9200*0.5)  

                                          = $7500

Therefore, The monthly fixed manufacturing cost is $7500.

If equilibrium GDP is $250 billion less than the targeted level of GDP, and the Multiplier Model has an mpe of 0.75, then we can
Olegator [25]

Answer:

c. increasing; $62.5

Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

As we know that

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

= 1 ÷ 1 - 0.75

= 1 ÷ 0.25

= 4

Now if the equilibrium GDP is $250 billion less than the expected level of GDP

So, the government spending would be increased by

= $250 billion ÷ 4

= $62.5

Hence, the correct option is c.

Davison Toaster Corp. sells its products for $250 per unit. It has the following costs:
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 1,860

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $250 per uni

Fixed costs= 109,900 + 290,000= $399,900

Unitary variable cost= 29 + 6= $35

<u>To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 399,900 / (250 - 35)

Break-even point in units= 1,860

MILLS ALLOCATES MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD TO PRODUCTION BASED ON STANDARD DIRECT LABOR HOURS. MILLS REPORTED THE FOLLOWING ACTUAL R
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

1. Compute the variable overhead cost and efficiency variances and fixed overhead cost and volume variances.

  • variable overhead cost variance = $1,000 unfavorable
  • variable efficiency variance = -$1,200 favorable
  • fixed overhead costs = $1,500 unfavorable
  • fixed overhead volume variance = -$100 favorable

2. EXPLAIN (as best you can) why the variances are favorable or unfavorable. Based on cost and efficiency budget standards.

  • variable overhead cost variance is unfavorable because actual variable overhead costs per unit are higher than budgeted.
  • variable efficiency variance is favorable because the company used less direct labor hours than budgeted to produce a higher amount of units (1,600 vs. 2,000).
  • fixed overhead costs are unfavorable because total fixed overhead costs were much higher than budgeted, but most of this variance can be explained by higher output.
  • fixed overhead volume variance are favorable because a higher volume was produced using less hours than budgeted.

Explanation:

Static budget variable overhead $1,200

Actual variable overhead $4,000

Static budget fixed overhead $1,600

Actual fixed overhead $3,100

Static budget direct labor hours 800 hours

Actual direct labor hours 1,600

Static budget number of units 400 units

Actual units produced 1,000

Standard direct labor hours 2 hours per unit

Actual direct labor hours 1.6 per unit

standard variable rate = $1,200 / 400 units = $3 per unit

actual variable rate = $4,000 / 1,000 units = $4 per unit

standard fixed rate = $1,600 / 800 hours = $2 per hour

actual fixed rate = $3,100 / 1,600 hours = $1.9375 per hour

variable overhead cost variance = actual costs - (standard rate x actual units) = $4,000 - ($3 x 1,000) = $1,000 unfavorable

variable efficiency variance = (actual hours x standard rate) - (standard hours x standard rate) = (1,600 × $3) − (2,000 x $3) = $4,800 - $6,000 = -$1,200 favorable

fixed overhead costs = actual overhead costs - budgeted overhead costs = $3,100 - $1,600 = $1,500 unfavorable

fixed overhead volume variance = (actual fixed rate x actual hours) - (standard rate x actual hours) = ($1.9375 x 1,600) - ($ x 1,600) = $3,100 - $3,200 = -$100 favorable
