Blababa [14]3 years ago

The item that has many close substitutes tend to have an elastic demand since this means that the consumers have a lot of variations to choose from. This makes the demand for the item very dependent on the number of consumers this item caters. The more substitutes mean more competition, more choices for the consumers, less demand for a particular item.

Cranford Company completed and transferred out 2,700 units in May 2016. There were 300 units in the Work-in-Process Inventory on
Lynna [10]

Answer:

The cost of the work transferred-out during May is $18,630

Explanation:

For computing the cost of work transferred, first we have to compute the conversion cost per unit and material cost per unit

The conversion cost per uni = Conversion cost ÷ (transferred units + work in progress)

= $11,160 ÷ (2,700 + 300 × 30%)

= $11,160 ÷ (2,700 + 90)

= $11,160 ÷ 2,790

= $4 per unit

Now, material cost per unit = Material cost ÷ (transferred units + work in progress)

= $8,700 ÷ (2,700+300)

= $8700 ÷ 3,000

= $2.9 per unit

So, total cost of the work transferred is equals to

= Transferred units × conversion cost per unit + transferred units × material cost per unit

= 2,700 × $4 + 2,700 × $2.9

= $10,800 + $7,830

= $18,630

Hence, the cost of the work transferred-out during May is $18,630

solong [7]
Exercising doesn't mean you have to spend hours in the gym. Exercises can be done at the comforts of your home too, and there's plenty of exercise available, especially for those who have less time to do so. Just like for example, waiting time. While you are waiting for your clothes in the washing machine to finish, you may use this time to do some basic exercises such as running in place, jumping jacks or carrying weights.
