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

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Beau's decision to tell somebody about his company's actions is an example of: whistle blowing

Explanation:

Ethics is the study of moral human behavior. Ethical behavior usually varies with different areas. What is considered ethical is always subject to the cultural standards of that particular place. In a company environment, there are ethical standards that are supposed to be met on the part of the company and also individuals working in the company.

One major ethical standard that companies must maintain is environmental protection. This is more prevalent in manufacturing companies that have to release toxic waste to the environment in the form of fumes to the atmosphere or liquid waste to rivers and water bodies. The environment is used by all living beings and therefor it needs to be protected. Ethical standards dictate that industrial waste should be kept below toxic levels before being released into the environment.

It is also ethical for any individual working in a company and has information about unethical practices of a company to publicly expose the company so that they can be held accountable for their actions. This is referred to as whistle blowing. Beau's decision to inform a newspaper reporter about the actions of the company in destroying the environment is an example of whistle blowing. Her decision is a typical example of ethical behavior.

The basic model of pure competition reviewed in this chapter finds that in the long run all firms in a purely competitive indust
Helen [10]

If all firms only earn a normal profit in the long run, firms will develop new products or lower-cost production methods because they can innovate and possibly earn an economic profit in the short run.

Explanation:

Competition involves constant efforts by companies and executives to do more than the loss (normal gains) of new goods or by improving ways to manufacture current products at lower prices. Therefore, if businesses can invent, they will achieve short-term economic advantage.

Economic benefit encourages entry, economic losses lead to exit and firms in a highly profitable market earn little economic income in a long-term equilibrium. In an industry where inflation does not change the costs of materials (a market with a constant cost), the long-term supply curve is a horizontal line.

Longview Hospital performs blood tests in its laboratory. The following standards have been set for each blood test performed:
Julli [10]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard:

Direct materials 2.0 plates $2.75 per plate

Direct labor 0.2 hours $15.00 per hour

Variable manufacturing overhead 0.2 hours $7.00 per hour

Actual:

1,500 blood tests.

3,600 plates were purchased for $9,540

3,200 plates were used for blood tests

340 actual direct labor-hours were worked for $5,550

1)The materials price variance:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (2.75 - 2.65)*3,600= $360 favorable

2) The materials quantity variance:

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (2*1,500 - 3,200)*2.75

Direct material quantity variance= $550 unfavorable

3) The labor rate variance:

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Direct labor rate variance= (15 - 16.32)*340= $448.8 unfavorable

4) The labor efficiency variance:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1,500*0.2 - 340)*15

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $600 unfavorable

5) The variable overhead efficiency variance:

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (1,500*0.2 - 340)*7

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $280 unfavorable

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

c. the cost of corporate advertising aired during the Super Bowl.

Explanation:

Financial statements show the financial position of a business for a given period, and the income statement compares revenue and expenses to get profitability of a business at a particular time.

Higado Confectionery Corporation has a number of store locations throughout North America. Since there is segmented income statement per store items like store manager salaries, store building depreciation expense and cost of goods sold at each store will appear in individual statements.

However when there is a corporate advertisement at the Superbowl all of the stores jointly benefit, so there will be a representation of this cost on all their income statements.
