Some economists have argued that, because domestic consumers gain more from free trade than domestic producers gain from (import

) tariffs and quotas, consumers should buy out domestic producers and rid themselves of costly tariffs and quotas. If this was feasible, would you be in favor? If there is a net loss to society from tariffs, why do tariffs exist?

<u>The reason the tariffs exists:</u>

The shift from tariff along free trade increases the consumer surplus as compared to the decline in the producer surplus. By this consumers can compensate the producers for the loss they have faced.

However,there are various other problems in relation to the shift. Generally, there will be a transaction cost of tariff besides the producer's loss surplus. There are several non economic issues that stimulates local producers to go on with tariff instead of getting compensation for the economic loss.

Generally, tariffs are imposed for any one of the following reasons,

  • To protect newly established domestic industries from foreign competition.
  • To limit the number of imports.
  • To protect local producers from getting dumped by foreign companies.
  • To raise revenue.

Adjusting factory overhead LO P4
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

26,500 Under applied

Explanation:

<em><u>Lock-Tite Company</u></em>

Actual Factory Overhead 215,000

Factory overhead Indirect materials 15,000

Indirect labor 80,000

Other overhead costs 120,000

Direct Labor = 345,000

Predetermined Overhead = 70% of $ 345,000= $ 241,500

Actual Overhead = $ 215,000

Difference = Predetermined Overhead - Actual Overhead

                = 241,500- $ 215,000= 26,500 Under applied

We find the difference between actual overhead and applied overhead to find the underapplied ( overapplied overhead. If the actual overhead is less than applied overhead it is underapplied. But if the actual overhead is greater than applied overhead it is over applied.

Harlan enterprises manufactures smart phones. currently, harlan has $14,000 in raw materials and $25,000 in finished goods in it
Kitty [74]
Ideally;
Inventory = Cost of raw materials + Cost of finished goods + Cost of work-in-progress

Assuming this ideal case, Harlan's inventory would be;

Inventory = $14,000+$25,000+$18,600 = $57,600

However, if work-in-progress inventory was listed as $0;

Then, the  new work-in-progress would be;
Inventory = 57,600-18,600 = $39,000

This would reduce the inventory for Harlan Enterprises which may affect other financial ratios such as inventory turn-over ratio. As a result, such ratios will not reflect the exact position of the company.
