Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": in absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is a product cost.

Explanation:

Absorption costing or full costing includes all costs related to the production process like the fixed costs. Variable costing, on the other hand, only includes the variable costs from the production. Absorption costing incorporates allocating fixed overhead costs of each unit produced during a certain period.

Teddy Bower is an outdoor clothing and accessories chain that purchases a line of parkas at $12 each from its Asian supplier, Te

brilliants [131]

Answer:

a) 2179 parkas

b) 0.7389

c) 174 customers

d) 10,772

Explanation:

Given:

Bower's selling price =$22

Salvage value: $0

Cost price = $12

Mean distribution= 2300 parkas

S.d = 1100 parkas

a) Number of parkas Teddy Bower should buy from Teddysports to maximize profit:

Let's first calculate overage(Co) and underage (Cu) cost.

•Cu = Selling price - Cost price

= $22 - $12

= $10

Underage cost = $10

•Co = Cost price - Salvage value

= $12 - $0

= $12

Overage cost = $12

Let's now find the critical ratio with the formula:

$\frac{C_u}{C_u+C_o}$

$= \frac{10}{12+10}$

= 0.4545

From the Excel function NORMSINV, the corresponding z value is =

NORMSINV(0.4545)

z value = -0.11

For the number of parkas Teddy Brown should order, we have:

Quantity = Mean +(z*s.d)

= 2300+ (-0.11 * 1100)

= 2179 parkas

b) for z value corresponding to expected sales of 3000 parkas, we have:

z value = (expected demand -mean)/s.d

$\frac{3000-2300}{1100}$

= 0.64

From the Excel function NOEMSDIST, the corresponding probability =

NORMSDIST(0.64)

= 0.7389 = 73.89%

In stock probability = 0.7389

c) For L(0.64) using the standard normal loss function table, L(z) =

L (0.64) = 0.158

For expected lost sales, we have:

S.d * L(z)

= 1100* 0.158

= 173.8

= 174.

On average, there is expected to be a turn away of 174 customers due to shortage.

Lets first calculate expected sales and left over inventory.

•Expected sales = Mean -expected lost sales

= 2,300 - 174

= 2,126

•Left over inventory expected=

Expected demand - Expected lost sales

= 3000 - 2126

= 874

For expected profit, we have:

$(C_u* Expected lost sales)-(C_o* Expected leftover inventory)$

=($10*2126)-($12*874)

= $10,772

Profit expected = $10,772

Suppose fairness is defined as those with the highest incomes can afford to pay a greater proportion of their income in taxes. T

Sati [7]

Answer:

c. A progressive tax on income.

Explanation:

Suppose fairness is defined as those with the highest incomes can afford to pay a greater proportion of their income in taxes. Then the following taxation systems would be consistent with this notion of fairness is a progressive tax on income.

A progressive tax is a taxing system in which the tax rate increases as the taxable amount increases.

"Progressive" as a terminology refers to the way the tax rate progresses from low to high, as income level increases.

In the market for tomatoes, assume the market demand is perfectly inelastic and the market supply is inelastic. If a tax is plac

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Consumers will bear all the tax

Explanation:

O Consumers will bear a greater burden of the tax, but not all the tax. O Consumers and producers will bear the tax burden equally O Producers will bear all the tax Consumers will bear all the tax O Producers will bear a greater burden of the tax, but not all of the tax.

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

The party with the less elastic demand bears the tax burden

Whitch economic indicators most strongly suggest that an economy is experiencing the contraction phase of a business cycle. Answ

aliina [53]

Answer: D. Unemployment rates are rising while GDP is falling.

Explanation:

A rising Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and a low unemployment rate are signs that an economy is doing well because it shows that the economy is growing and people have jobs that can give them access to income to spend in the economy.

If Unemployment starts rising therefore and GDP is falling, the economy is not growing but is rather contracting. People increasingly do not have access to income to spend on goods and services and companies are not hiring people because they are unable to sell as much goods and services.
