Answer:

Opportunity Cost refers to loss of potential gain which could've resulted from other non chosen alternatives when one opts for an alternative. It's also defined as the next best alternative.

The Opportunity Cost of attending a 4 year college with full time schedule & living on campus would be the foregone income another student earns who works in an organization for those same number of hours for the same duration of 4 years and also the fees paid for those 4 years at the college which if would've been banked or invested would've yielded a return.

The reason for choosing a four year college experience over above mentioned alternatives could be the in the form of expected higher income once an individual avails a degree.

zvonat [6]

Answer: b. Inspection time

Explanation: Overhead allocation is required under the rules of various accounting frameworks and is defined as the apportionment of indirect costs (costs used by multiple activities which cannot be assigned to specific cost objects) to produced goods. Overhead allocation is quite significant because often times, it is substantially greater than the direct cost of goods.

The time spent for inspection which is vital to controlling quality, reducing manufacturing costs, eliminating losses and assigning causes of defective work etc. would be the most accurate measure of activity to use for allocating the costs of inspecting finished products as it is included in manufacturing overhead.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

4.27 days

Explanation:

Initial taste quality = 1

Quality of tastiness declines using this function

Q(t)  = 0.85^t ( t in days )

<u>Determine when the taste quality will be 1/2 of original value</u>

i.e. when Q(t) = 1/2

1/2 = 0.85^t

= In ( 2 ) = - t ( In 0.85 )

∴ t = - In (2) / In (0.85)

     = 4.265 days  ≈ 4.27 days

enot [183]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, it is missing the accounts and numbers, so I looked for a similar question:

<em>The Rehe Comany sells its razors at $3 per unit. The company uses a first-in, first-out actual costing system. A fixed manufacturing cost rate is computed at the end of each year by dividing the actual fixed manufacturing costs by the actual production units. The following data are related to its first two years of operation: </em>

<em>                    2011 2012 </em>

<em>Sales 1000 units  1200 units </em>

<em>Costs: </em>

<em>Variable manufacturing  700 500</em>

<em>Fixed manufacturing  700 700</em>

<em>Variable operating (marketing) 1000 1200 </em>

<em>Fixed operating (marketing)  400 400</em>

<em />

                                                           2011                  2012

Sales                                               1000 units         1200 units

Production                                          1400                  1000  

Costs:  

Variable manufacturing                      $700               $500

per unit $0.50

Fixed manufacturing                           $700               $700

Variable operating (marketing)         $1000             $1200

Fixed operating (marketing)               $400               $400

cogs under absorption costing 2011 = ($1,400 / 1,400) x 1,000 = $1,000

cogs under absorption costing 2012 = $400 + ($1,200 / 1,000) x 800 = $1,360

1.                                    INCOME STATEMENTS

                                      VARIABLE COSTING

                                                             2011                    2012

Total sales revenue:                        $3,000                $3,600            

Opening inventory:                               ($0)                 ($200)

Variable manufacturing:                   ($700)                 ($500)

<u>Variable operating:                         ($1,000)              ($1,200)</u>  <u> </u>

Contribution margin:                        $1,500                $1,800

<u>Fixed operating:                                ($400)                ($400) </u>

Net operating income:                       $400                  $700

2.                                   INCOME STATEMENTS

                                   ABSORPTION COSTING

                                                             2011                    2012

Total sales revenue:                        $3,000                $3,600            

<u>COGS:                                             ($1,000)                ($1,360) </u>

Gross margin:                                  $2,000                $2,240

<u>Operating costs:                             ($1,400)               ($1,600) </u>

Net operating income:                       $600                   $640

3. Under variable costing, closing inventory = 400 units x $0.50 (variable production costs per unit) = $200.

Under absorption costing, closing inventory = 400 units x $1 (production cost per unit) = $400

Since closing inventory is $200 higher under absorption costing, then net operating income during 2011 increases by $200.

4. a) Variable costing is more likely to result in inventory buildups. Since variable costing determines the value of closing inventory only using variable manufacturing costs, their value is much lower. E.g. in this case the value of closing inventory 2011 under variable costing is $200, while under absorption costing it is $400. This means that less costs are transferred from one year to another.

b) Cost of goods sold must include all production costs (both variable and fixed). This way COGS costs cannot be over estimated during one year and under estimated the next.

icang [17]

Answer:

should choose option a

Explanation:

option a)

annuity due, 31 payments of $180,000 per year, 6.25% discount rate

Present value = $180,000 x 14.40432 (PV annuity due factor, 6.25%, 31 periods) = $2,592,726

option b)

$500,000 today + ordinary annuity, 30 periods, 6.25%, $144,000

present value = $500,000 + ($144,000 x 13.40432 [PV annuity factor, 6.25%, 30 periods)] = $2,430,222
