Answer:

Property taxes on the factory building - period costs.

Property taxes are period costs because it is a cost associated with a particular period of time (tax season), and because this cost cannot be capitalized in inventory, fixed assets, or prepaid expenses.

Production superintendents’ salaries - period costs.

The salaries of management workers such as superintendents are period costs because they are not direct labor.

Memory boards and chips used in assembling computers - direct materials.

The memory boards and chips are direct materials used to assemble the computers, therefore, they are a direct materials cost.

Depreciation on the factory equipment - period costs.

Depreciation is a period cost because it cannot capitalized in fixed assets, since it actually reduces the value of those.

Salaries for assembly-line quality control inspectors - period costs.

Inspectors and supervisors are part of lower-management, and as result, their salaries are also considered period costs.

Sales commissions paid to sell laptop computers - period costs.

A sale commission is a period cost because it is a selling expense. The comission is an incentive for sellers to perform better, by it is not in itself a part of the cost of goods sold.

Electrical components used in assembling computers - direct materials.

The electrical components are used to assemble the computers, therefore, they represent a direct materials cost.

Wages of workers assembling laptop computers - direct labor.

The workers are directly making the computers, without them, the computers could not be assembled. Therefore, their wages are a direct labor cost.

Soldering materials used on factory assembly lines - manufacturing overhead.

The assembly line is needed to make the goods, but it is not in itself a part of the good. Besides, the cost of running the assembly line does not depend directly on the number of goods produced. It varies relatively close to that number, but the relation is not exact, and linear. Therefore, these soldering materials are manufacturing overhead.

Salaries for the night security guards for the factory building - period costs.

Night security guards are an administrative cost. They are not necessarily needed to produce the goods, they are hired to protect the factory's security. And administrative costs are considered period costs.

Which of the following provides for a reduction in the employer's state unemployment tax rate based on the employer's experience
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

b.Experience-rating plan

Explanation:

Experience rating is a method of evaluating used by insurance providers to adjust premiums up or down. The rating reflects your previous loss experience. It is based on the presumption that your historical loss experience predicts your future loss experience. In other words, your future losses are likely to be similar to those you incurred in the past. The Experience Rating Plan is mandatory for all eligible insureds. Any action taken in any form to evade the application of an experience modification determined in accordance with this Plan is prohibited.  The object of the Experience Rating Plan is to recognize the differences between individual insureds through the use of the individual insured's own loss experience. The experience rating process serves as a means of using a history of past losses to predict the future losses of an insured.

This is done by comparing the experience of an individual insured to the average insured in the same classification. Therefore, using the insured's past experience, the experience modification is determined by comparing the actual losses to expected losses.   An insured with better than average experience will produce a credit experience modification factor, while an insured with worse than average experience will produce a debit experience modification factor.  A credit experience modification factor, less than 1.00, results in a premium reduction. A debit experience modification factor, greater than 1.00, results in a premium increase. An experience modification factor of 1.00, or unity, does not change premium.

Answer:

To calculate the elasticity of demand, we need to use mid point elasticity theory.

According to mid point theory,

Ed = [(Q2 - Q1) / {(Q1 + Q2) / 2}] / [(P2 - P1) / {(P1 + P2) / 2}]

Where, Ed = Elasticity o demand

Q1 = Initial quantity = 100

Q2 = New Quantity = 300

P1 = Initial price = $2.75

P2 = New price = $2.25

Ed = [(300 - 100) / {(100 + 300) / 2}] / [(2.25 - 2.75) / {(2.75 + 2.25) / 2}]

Ed = - 5.

a. So, the elasticity of demand is - 5 or in absolute term 5.

b. As the value of elasticity is more than 1, that means, the elasticty over the price range in elastic.

c. From theory, we knew that, when the demand is elastic, then a decrease in price causes a increase in total revenue. Because, as the demand elasticity is elastic, so the increase in output is higher than decrease in price.

Total revenue will increase
