Answer:

Avoidable cost

Explanation:

An avoidable cost can be eliminated in a whole. Such a cost can be explained as an expense that would not happen if the specific activity is not done. These costs are relevant costs. A very good example of such a cost is labour cost. If there is a decision to stop a product line for example, all costs that have a relationship with this product line will also be stopped.

Answer:

b. Increase by $17,000

Explanation:

For computing the change in the operating income, first we have to determine the cost by make and buy options

Make options:

= Variable cost + fixed cost

= $70 + $60

= $130

Buy options:

= Outside supplier cost + fixed cost × remaining percentage

= $77 + $60 × 60%

= $77 + $36

= $113

So, the difference of cost would be

= $130 - $113

= $17

And, the operating income would be

= Number of units make in each year × cost difference

= 1,000 units × $17

= $17,000

Answer:

Materials = 44,000

Conversion = 40,800

Explanation:

Step 1 Determine the Number of Closing Work In Process Units

Closing Work In Process Units = Opening Work In Process Units + Units started in process - Units transferred out

= 6,000 + 38,000 - 36,000

= 8,000

Step 2 Determine the equivalent units for March 2019

Materials :

Note : Materials are added at the be-ginning of the process, therefore Units Transferred Out and Closing Work In Process are 100% complete in terms of materials

Closing Work In Process Units - 100% = 8,000

Units transferred out - 100% = 36,000

Total equivalent units = 44,000

Conversion :

Note : Ending work-in-process was 60% processed, therefore 60% completed in terms of conversion costs

Closing Work In Process Units - 60% = 4,800

Units transferred out - 100% = 36,000

Total equivalent units = 40,800

What is the customer demand in the uk for international foods? need a detailed answer please

Romashka [77]

UK cuisine is largely international, with curry (for instance) being the most popular foodstuff in the UK, originating from Asia.

As Hungarian, Italian, Greek, Indian, French, Chinese, Vietnamese, Mongolian, and any number of other exotic food outlets are thriving in London, for instance, it would suggest that customer demand for these foodstuffs is enough to sustain business.

A large number of mixed Polish/Halal grocery shops have opened in areas of South London in recent years, catering to an increased number of workers and immigrants from the Middle-East and Eastern Europe.

The good old Fish'n'Chips shop is still going strong.

Many have expanded their menu to include kebabs - only fair, as kebab shops tend to sell chips too...

the biggest challenge facing the growth of new franchises is: A) market saturation B)competition from independent entrepreneurs

Furkat [3]

Answer:

(A) market saturation

Explanation:

A franchisee starts a new franchise by entering into a franchising agreement with a franchiser to use its brand name and sell its products. The biggest challenge faced by this new franchise is market saturation.

This occurs because the presence of other similar businesses, whether franchises or independently owned businesses in the market, creates lots of competition for the new franchise.
