Answer:

a decrease in the total amount of units produced while fixed costs remain the same (that is why they are called fixed).

Explanation:

For example, company A produces 1,000 units with a total variable cost per unit of $10 plus $10,000 total fixed costs. Company A's total costs = $20,000

If company A's production level decreases to 950 units, their total costs = $19,500. Therefore a 5% decrease in production units only decreases fixed costs by 2.5%.

Company A's total costs were evenly split between variable and fixed costs, but sometimes either variable or fixed costs are proportionally larger. If the fixed costs of company A had been 67% of total costs instead of 50%, the 5% decrease in units produced would have reduced total costs by only 1.7%.

So the larger the proportion of fixed costs, a change in the number of units produced will have a smaller impact in the total costs of the company.

marta [7]

Answer:

$357 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance identifies the amount by which actual production differs from budgeted production.

<em>Fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance = Actual Output at Budgeted rate - Budgeted Fixed Overheads</em>

                                                                  = (5,230 × $5.10) - ($5.10 × 5,300)

                                                                   = $26,673 - $27,030

                                                                   = $357 Unfavorable

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

has a comparative advantage in producing good 1

Explanation:

A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other countries. Country abc has a comparative advantage because it sacrifices fewer quantities of good 2.

Country abc should specialise in production of good 1, while country xyz should import from country abc.

A country has an absolute advantage in the production of a good or service If it produces more quantity of the good compared with other countries.

ira [324]

Answer:

The alternative that should be chosen assuming identical replacement is:

Alternative B.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Alternatives:

                                                A            B

First Cost                           $5,000     $9,200

Uniform Annual Benefit     $1,750      $1,850

Useful life, in years                4              8

Rate of return                       7%            7%

Annuity factor                   3.387          5.971

Present value of annuity $5,927.25 $11,046.35

Net cash flow                 $927.25     $1,846.35

b) Alternative B yields a higher return than Alternative A.  Since the two alternatives are based on the same rate of return, Alternative B will bring in a higher annual benefit, even when discounted to the present value.

At the beginning of 2018, England Dresses has an inventory of $140,000. However, management wants to reduce the amount of invent
Bad White [126]

Answer:

purchases = 160000

Explanation:

given data

beginning inventory = $140,000

amount of inventory on hand = $80,000

net sales = $400,000

gross profit rate = 40%

solution

we first Computation of cost of goods sold  hat is

Gross profit rate = \frac{gross profit}{net sales} × 100

= \frac{gross profit}{400000} = = \frac{40}{100}

= 100 Gross profit = 16000000

so

Gross profit = 160000

and

Cost of goods sold is = sales - gross profit

so

Cost of goods sold = 400000 - 160000

Cost of goods sold = 240000

and

Cost of goods sold = opening inventory + purchases - closing inventory  

so put here value

240000 = 140000 + purchases - 60000

so purchases = 160000
