Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales in Units

April 54,000

May 75,000

June 94,000

July 82,000

Desired ending inventory= 20% of the following month’s sales.

The inventory at the end of March was 10,800 units.

To calculate the production for each month, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

April:

Sales= 54,000

Ending inventory= 75,000*0.2= 15,000

Beginning inventory= (10,800)

Total= 58,200 units

May:

Sales= 75,000

Ending inventory= 94,000*0.2= 18,800

Beginning inventory= (15,000)

Total= 78,800 units

June:

Sales= 94,000

Ending inventory= 82,000*0.2= 16,400

Beginning inventory= (18,800)

Total= 91,600 units

Total for the quarter= 228,600 units

The Republic of Gizmovia wants to maintain the exchange rate of its currency, the gizmo, at $0.50, but the current exchange rate

lukranit [14]

Answer:

D) increase; decrease

Explanation:

in order to appreciate the currency by $0.10, the interest rates need to be increased. This will encourage people to save more and thus increase the demand for gizmo that will increase the exchange rate.

This increased interest rate will also decrease the capital outflow out of the country as more people will be willing to take advantage of higher interest on savings in the country than investing outside of the country to leverage opportunities. Thus option D is the right choice.

Hope that helps.

It costs Sheridan Company $28 of variable costs and $17 of allocated fixed costs to produce an industrial trash can that sells f

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Variable costs = $28

Allocated fixed costs = $17

Selling price = $84

Due to acceptance of M offer, S would be got excess contribution margin per unit. Because acceptance selling price ($34) is greater than the variable cost per unit ($28).

We don't have any information about the fixed cost due to acceptance. Therefore, we assumed that fixed cost is not increased.

Increased contribution margin per unit:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= $34 - $28

= $6

For 3,000 units, Increased contribution margin = 3,000 × $6

= $18,000

Therefore, net income is increased by $18,000 when the offer is accepted.

Blueberry Baking Company produced 5,500 cakes that require 3 standard pounds per unit at a $3 standard price per pound. The comp

jekas [21]

Answer:

Dr. Work in process $49,500

Dr. Material Quantity Variance $4,500

Cr. Raw material Inventory $49,500

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the Material usage variance

Standard Material = 5,500 cakes x 3 pounds = 16,500 pounds

Standard cost of Standard Material = 16,500 pounds x $3 = $49,500

Actual usage at standard cost = 16,650 pounds x $3 = $49,950

Material usage Variance = $49,950 - $49,500 = $450 unfavorable

When the actual cost incurred is more than the standard cost the variance is unfavorable.

A two-step binomial tree is used to value an option on the Australian dollar (AUD). The strike price is 1.00 USD per AUD and the

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

a.) The proportional up movement , u, for the currency can be calculated using the following formula:

u = eStd Dev * Square root of t

u = e0.06*square root of 0.25

u = 1.0305

b.) Probability of up movement, p , = (a - d) / (u - d)

where a = ert where r = 0.025, t = 0.25

a = e0.025*0.25 = 1.0063

d = 1 / u = 1 / 1.3050 = 0.7663

p = (1.0063-0.7663) / (1.3050-0.7663)

p = 0.46

1-p = 1-0.46 = 0.54

c) Price of an American Call Option on the currency : we use binomial tree for that , as follows: The amounts below line indicate the option price and figures above line indicate the underlying asset price which is 0.55555
