Answer: $651,000

Explanation:

From the above question, Apple's iPod carries a two-year warranty against manufacturer's defects.

warranty costs are expected to be approximately 3% of sales.

Total sales are $30.7 million, and actual warranty expenditures are $270,000.

Total warranty cost = $30.7 million x 3% = $921,000

During the 1st year only $270,000 of warranty expenses was made.

Therefore the company will carry as liability at the end of the year a total of $921,000 - $270,000 = $651,000

erica [24]

Answer:

$15.30

Explanation:

Given that,

Fixed costs = $1,800,000 per year

Variable cost = $3.30 per unit

40% of its business is with one preferred customer.

Total units sold in a year = 150,000

Unit cost per item:

= (Fixed cost ÷ Total units sold) + Variable cost per unit

= ($1,800,000 ÷ 150,000) + $3.30

= $12 + $3.30

= $15.30

Therefore, the unit cost per item is $15.30.

14. Suppose that the production of $1 million worth of steel in Canada requires $100,000 worth of taconite. Canada’s nominal tar
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The effective rate of protection for Canada’s steel industry is 21%

Explanation:

The computation of the effective rate is shown below:

Steel percentage = (Production worth of steel) ÷ (Taconite worth)

                             = ($1,000,000) ÷ ($100,000)

                             = 10%

And the tariff rate for steel is 20%

And the taconite percentage is 10%

So, the effective rate would be equal to

= Tariff rate for steel + taconite percentage × steel percentage

= 20% + 10% × 10%

= 20% + 1%

= 21%

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

C) Recurrent Disability provision

Explanation:

The human body is a fantastic machine but sometimes when you have health problems they don't show up immediately.

For example you might get hit on the right side of your head severely and lose partial hearing from your right ear, but in a couple months you might notice that your short term memory has also been affected. Both disabilities were caused by the injury although one showed up before the other.

The insurance company has to provide the disability benefits without a new elimination period under the recurrent disability provision.
