Answer:

Add to its capital stock.

Explanation:

Rental firms earn profit by buying goods and renting them out at a price higher.The advantage of owning capital is the real rental price of capital for the units of capital owned and rented.

In this case, the real rental price of capital is $10,000 per unit where as the real cost of capital is $9,000 per unit. This means the firm is getting a profit from the business of $1000 per units assuming interest on their loans, cost of loss/ gain  on the price of capital and depreciation costs are taken care.To maximize profit at this level, the firm can increase capital stock by buying more goods and renting them out at the current real rental price of capital.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Product 1  - $36

Product 2 -  $ 96  

Product 3  -  $66

Explanation:

The accounting standard for Inventory under IFRS IAS 2 requires that inventory be recognized at cost which includes all the cost incurred to bring the item of inventory to a state or place where the item of inventory becomes available for sale.

These costs includes cost of purchase, freight, Insurance cost during transit etc.  

Subsequently, inventory is to be carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

The NRV is the Selling price less the cost to sell.

Selling price               $ 88              $ 168             $ 118

Costs to sell                $ 9                $ 72              $ 26

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Saddle Inc.

1. Overhead rate using the traditional (plantwide) approach is:

= $1.84

2. The overhead rates using activity-based costing approach are:

Machining = $72.49

Machine setup = $211.69

3. The difference in allocation between the two approaches:

Differences:

ABC approach        $121,808   $178,188   $299,996

Using plantwide     $110,400  $189,520  $299,920

Differences              $11,408    -$11,332             $76

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total estimated overhead costs = $300,000

Machining activity = $195,000

Machine setup activity = $105,000

                             Standard   Custom     Total

Direct labor costs $60,000 $103,000  $163,000

Machine hours           1,400        1,290       2,690

Setup hours                    96          400          496

Overhead rate based on direct labor costs = $1.84 ($300,000/163,000)

Overhead rates using activity-based costing approach:

Machining = $72.49 ($195,000/2,690)

Machine setup = $211.69 ($105,000/496)

Allocation of overhead costs:

                                 Standard   Custom         Total

Using plantwide       $110,400  $189,520  $299,920

Using ABC:

Machining                $101,486    $93,512    $194,998

Machine setup           20,322      84,676      104,998

Total costs               $121,808   $178,188   $299,996

Differences:

ABC approach        $121,808   $178,188   $299,996

Using plantwide     $110,400  $189,520  $299,920

Differences               $11,408    -$11,332            $76
