Cost-benefit principle would state that you would only take an action if the benefit outweighs the cost.

For example: It may cost me $5 to drive to work, but I make $50 for showing up, I would go because the benefit I get outweighs the cost and I am better off going than staying at home.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

When monopolistically competitive firms advertise, in the long run they will still earn zero economic profit.

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition happens when many producers sell products that are differentiated from one another and hence are not perfect substitutes

Based on this, the demand curve of a firm in a monopolistic competitive market will shift so that it is tangent to the firm's average total cost curve and this will make it impossible for the firm to make economic profit. The best that can be expected is to be able to break even

This means in the long run, a monopolistically competitive firm will make zero economic profit.

A good example is Hotel which can only raise its prices without losing all of its customers based on brand loyalty and distinct quality differentiation.

Finding Unknown Values in the Cost of Goods Manufactured Report [LO 2-3, 2-6]Mulligan Manufacturing Company uses a job order cos

KiRa [710]

Answer:

For Case 1:

Manufacturing overhead applied = 27,000

Total current manufacturing costs = 60,000

Cost of goods manufactured = 64,000

Cost of goods sold = 61,100

For Case 2:

Direct labor = 7,667

Direct material used = 8,333

Beginning work in process inventory = 26,400

Ending finished goods inventory = 15,000

For Case 3:

Direct labor = 5,760

Manufacturing overhead applied = 8,640

Ending work in process inventory = 10,499

Beginning finished goods inventory = 16,199

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged together. The data are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.

Also note: See the attached excel file for the table with the computed figure in bold red color.

In the attached excel file, the following calculations are employed:

For Case 1:

Since overhead applied to products at a rate of 150 percent of direct labor cost, we have:

Manufacturing overhead applied = Direct labor * 150% = 18,000 * 150% = 27,000

Total current manufacturing costs = Direct material used + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead applied = 15,000 + 18,000 + 27,000 = 60,000

Cost of goods manufactured = Total current manufacturing costs + Beginning work in process inventory - Ending work in process inventory = 60,000 + 9,900 - 5,900 = 64,000

Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods manufactured + Beginning finished goods inventory - Ending finished goods inventory = 64,000 + 4,700 - 7,600 = 61,100

For Case 2:

Since overhead applied to products at a rate of 150 percent of direct labor cost, we have:

Direct labor = (Manufacturing overhead applied / 150%) * 100% = (11,500 / 150%) * 100% = 7,667

Direct material used = Total current manufacturing costs - Manufacturing overhead applied - Direct labor = 27,500 - 11,500 - 7,667 = 8,333

Beginning work in process inventory = Cost of goods manufactured + Ending work in process inventory - Total current manufacturing costs = 44,000 + 9,900 - 27,500 = 26,400

Ending finished goods inventory = Cost of goods manufactured + Beginning finished goods inventory - Cost of goods sold = 44,000 + 12,000 – 41,000 = 15,000

For Case 3:

Since overhead applied to products at a rate of 150 percent of direct labor cost, we can let:

Direct labor = x

Therefore, we have:

Manufacturing overhead applied = x * 150%

Since,

Total current manufacturing costs = Direct material used + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead applied ……………………….. (1)

Where;

Total current manufacturing costs = 28,500

Direct material used = 14,100

We can therefore substitute the relevant values into equation (1) and solve for x as follows:

28,500 = 14,100 + x + 1.5x

28,500 - 14,100 = 2.5x

14,400 = 2.5x

x = 14,400 / 2.5

x = 5,760

Therefore;

Direct labor = x = 5,760

and

Manufacturing overhead applied = x * 150% = 5,760 * 150% = 8,640

Ending work in process inventory = Total current manufacturing costs + Beginning work in process inventory - Cost of goods manufactured = 28,500 + 8,000 - 26,001 = 10,499

Beginning finished goods inventory = Cost of goods sold + Ending finished goods inventory - Cost of goods manufactured = 36,000 + 6,200 - 26,001 = 16,199

Which of the following statements comparing debit cards to credit cards is TRUE?

horrorfan [7]

The correct answer is A. Debit cards withdraw money directly from your account.

Explanations:
B. Debit cards offer less fraud protection than a credit card; the money has already left your hands whereas with credit cards it doesn't until the end of the month.
C. Debit cards do in fact require signatures. Yeah.
D. Debit cards charge much lower rates (if any, depending on the bank) because you are paying up front versus waiting until the end of the month when you will likely be charged interest and/or fees.

Hope I helped!
