Answer:
C) $4,000
Explanation:
To calculate economic profit we can use the following formula:
economic profit = total revenue - (accounting costs + implicit costs) = (total revenue - accounting cost) - implicit costs
where:
- accounting profit = total revenue - accounting cost = $50,000
- implicit costs: ($20,000 x 5%) + $45,000 = $1,000 + $45,000 = $46,000
economic profit = $50,000 - $46,000 = $4,000
Answer:
(c). no longer satisfies a sufficient number of customers
Explanation:
Product deletion refers to removal or discontinuance of a product from the product line when such a product has been consistently incurring losses since a number of years and it's further continuation would adversely affect the other products and profitability.
A product is usually deleted from the product line on the grounds of it's failure in satisfying a sufficient number of customers.
Hence, the correct option is (c). no longer satisfies a sufficient number of customers.
Answer:
the amount to be used in the numerator is $900,000.
Explanation:
Earnings Per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Shares ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding.
Diluted Earnings per Share takes into account potential voting rights.
The Preference dividend is <em>not</em> deducted from Net Income as it carries a potential voting right.
Answer:
B. price ceiling.
A government policy that sets the highest price that can be charged for a good or service is a price ceiling.
Answer:
b. greater under absorption costing than variable costing.
Explanation:
The question is to calculate the closing value of inventory and based on the choices, we need to calculate based on both the Absorption Costing and the Variable Costing Methods.
1. Closing Inventory based on Variable Costing Method
Direct Material $40
Direct Labour $30
Variable Overhead $2
Fixed Overhead <u>$0 </u>(this method does not reecognise fixed cost
Totals (Unit cost of Production) $72
Based on this, the closing inventory is $72 x (8,000+50,000-55,000 units)
=$77 x 3,000= $216,000
2. Closing Inventory based on Absorption Costing Method
Direct Material $40
Direct Labour $30
Variable Overhead $2
Fixed Overhead <u>$5</u>
Totals (Unit cost of Production) $77
Based on this, the closing inventory is $77 x (8,000+50,000-55,000 units)
=$77 x 3,000= $231,000
Based on these calculations:
The Ending Inventory is higher/Greater under absorption costing than variable costing and the reason is that variable costing does not recognize fixed cost in determining the value of ending inventory.
