<span>A​ fast-food restaurant decides to raise the price of its hamburgers. assume the firm is in a monopolistically competitive industry. what will happen to the demand for its​ hamburgers? When the​ fast-food restaurant raises the price of​ hamburgers, some customers may stay and pay the higher price because they want that specific brand of hamburgers, other may go elsewhere to find them cheaper. 

When prices raise, some customers stay because they are attached to that specific company, others leave because they want a burger but for a lower price.

R. J. Graziano Wholesale Corp. uses the LIFO method of inventory costing. In the current year, profit at R. J. Graziano is runni
Nata [24]

Answer:

a. What is the effect of this transaction on this year's and next year's income statement and income tax expense? Why?

The inventory account is a permanent asset account in the balance sheet, so it doesn't matter if the company purchases all that it can during the last days of December, it will not affect the income statement, nor their tax liability for the current year. A company only recognizes cost of goods sold when the goods are actually sold, not when they are purchased.

Since the company uses the LIFO (last in, first out) inventory method, all it will do is increase the value of ending inventory which changes into beginning inventory next year. You can reduce next year's income more by purchasing the goods next year.

b. If R. J. Graziano Wholesale had been using the FIFO method of inventory costing, would the president give the same directive?

If the company used the FIFO method, the result will be the same. Inventory is not COGS, whether you use FIFO, LIFO weighted average, specific identification, or any other acronym that you might come up with. At beginning of the year, inventory must be average to determine beginning inventory. it might help to increase COGS a little, therefore, decreasing net income, but the effects shouldn't be significant.

c. Should the plant accountant order the inventory purchase to lower income? What are the ethical implications of this order?

It is useless, and he should know it. The only implication is that this will help him realize his low IQ.

.3Simba and Zola are married but file separate returns. Simba received $80,000 of salary and $1,200 of taxable dividends on stoc
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Zola's gross income is worked out under community property state;

Explanation:

community property state

Dividends ($1200/2)                               $600

Interest on certificate of deposit  ($900/2)     $450

Salary               ($80,000/2)                          $40,000

Gross income                                         $41,050

Under community law system, all the property is deemed to be community property and is held jointly by the spouses unless the property is acquired before marriage or inheritance or gift.

For federal tax purposes, each spouse is taxed one and half of the property belonging to community. Therefore Zola is taxed 50% for the incomes of her spouse as well including the interest on certificate of deposit.

Fisher-Price developed a line of toys for infants in China. While they will be the ultimate end user of the product, by definiti
guapka [62]

Answer:

 This is true because babies still have no conscience to choose what kind of products they want to buy. In this case, the target would be the parents who want to offer their children quality toys at a price that is consistent with the market. So the technique would be to sell the product for the qualities that are beneficial for the baby and at the same time flashy, so that the parents make the purchase decision.

Amberjack Company is trying to decide on an allocation base to use to assign manufacturing overhead to jobs. The company has alw
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated Value Actual Value

Manufacturing overhead cost $732,000 $842,000

Direct labor hours 14,640 hours 16,600 hours

<u>To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 732,000 / 14,640

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $50 per direct labor hour

<u>Now, we can allocate overhead:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 50*16,600

Allocated MOH= $830,000

<u>Finally, the over/under allocation:</u>

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

Under/over applied overhead= 842,000 - 830,000

Underapplied overhead= $12,000
