Answer:

There are several conditions which are required for there to be a perfect competition in a market or economy.

Let me highlight those, there should be many firms in the market which have identical product offerings with not so variable prices. Secondly, the size of the firms on the market should not be big in terms of its sales. Thirdly, the market forces determine the demand and supply in the market. Fourthly, firms should be able to easily enter and exit the market as per their will. Lastly, there are a number of sellers and buyers in the market for a particular product.

Hope this helps you.

legal Life=13 years

useful life=6 years

Amortization:

For intangible assets, amortization is the decrease in book value over the period of time. However intangible assets have no physical appearance and they do not face any damage like fixed assets but with the passage of time their value decrease.

Calculating amortization expense for one year:

Amortization expense= $\frac{Purchase\ Price+Legal\ Fees}{Useful\ Life}$

$Amortization\ expense=\frac{\$38,500+\$2000}{6}\\ Amortization\ expense=\$6,750$

US Apparel (USA) manufactures plain white and solid-colored T-shirts. Budgeted inputs include the following

Artemon [7]

Answer:

A) USA will not be better off switching to the new dye since the cost is greater than the Fine

B) $118076

C) The reduction in material/fabric cost can be achieved by the reduction in material wastage and in the use of quality materials

while the reduction in labor cost can be achieved by Hiring well trained employees with the necessary skillset

Explanation:

A) Determine If the USA be better off using the new dye

Units of clothes to be dyed = 50,000

Difference in cost = [ 4 ( 1.25 - 0.5 ) ] = 4 * 0.75 = $3

Total cost of using the new dye = 50000 * $3 = $150,000

Fine = $130,000

hence USA will not be better off switching to the new dye since the cost is greater than the Fine

B) Determine by how much overall cost will be reduced at the end of 12 months using Kaizen costing

condition : reduce fabric and labor cost by 1%

Original Monthly Costs without the use of Kaizen Costing =( Total Units/Number of Months)*(Fabric Cost per Unit + Labor Cost per Unit)*Number of Months

= [( 10000 + 50000 )/12 ) * ( 6 + 4 ) ] *12

= [ 5000 * 10 ] *12 = $600,000

Applying kaizen costing

Given: Fabric cost per unit = $6 , Labor cost per unit = $4

Total units of production = 10000 + 50000 = 60,000

Kaizen costing formula per month = [ (cost per unit * total units / 12 ) - ( 1% of cost per unit * total units / 12) ]

Total annual cost using Kaizen costing = $56807.61

difference in cost = $600,000 - $568076 = $31924

with the new dye and Kaizen costing the overall cost will be change by $118076 i.e. ($150,000 - $31924) = $118076

C ) The reduction in material/fabric cost can be achieved by the reduction in material wastage and in the use of quality materials

while the reduction in labor cost can be achieved by Hiring well trained employees with the necessary skillset
