Answer:

A.$1.35

Explanation:

First, let's calculate the variation of the consumer price index (CPI) from 1980 to 1990:

(128.7-74.4)/74.4= 0,73

The increase of the consumer price index from 1980 to 11990 was 73%.

As the price of apple juice increased at the same rate as the CPI from 1980 to 1990, to find the cost of the gallon of apple juice in 1990, we have to calculate the 73% increase from the 1980 price:

$0.78*(1,73)= $1.35

The gallon of apple juice cost in 1990 $1.35.

Answer:

Option D Only amounts known with absolute certainty are reported

Explanation:

This is incorrect statement because International Accounting Standard IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets sheds light on the recording of future events that will arise as a result of past events. The standard is useful in estimating future events so saying that the absolutely certain amounts are reported is incorrect.

Radovilsky Manufacturing Company, in Hayward, California, makes flashing lights for toys. The company operates its production fa
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Given,

Annual demand, D = 12500,

Setting up cost, S = $ 49,

Production rate per year, P =  production facility × capability of production = 300 × 105 = 31500,

Holding cost per year, H = $ 0.15,

Hence,

(i) Optimal size of the production run,

Q = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H(1-\frac{D}{P})}}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 12500\times 49}{0.15(1-\frac{12500}{31500})}}=3679.60238126\approx 3680

(ii) Average holding cost per year,

=\frac{QH}{2}(1-\frac{D}{P})

=\frac{3680\times 0.15}{2}(1-\frac{12500}{31500})

=166.476190476

\approx \$ 166.48

(iii) Average setup cost per year,

=\frac{D}{Q}\times S

=\frac{12500}{3680}\times 49

=166.44021739

\approx \$ 166.44

(iv) Total cost per year = average setup cost per year + average holding cost per year + cost to purchase 12500 lights

= 166.44 + 166.48 + 12500(0.95)

= $ 12207.92
