Answer:

The options for this question are the following:

A. Minimal

B. Superficial

C. Low-budget

D. Excessive

The correct answer is D. Excessive.

Explanation:

In this case, it is useful to consider that cost control is the procedure that allows companies to carry out the regulatory and protection processes against what the client expects to receive. Toyota is a well-known brand, and poor cost management can have an impact on the inflation of its costs and therefore the price of its cars rises considerably. Excessive costs negatively influence the companies' results, and therefore their correct management influences optimal results for the operation.

Answer:

excessive

Explanation:

Toyota is famous for its just in time (JIT) manufacturing method. It reduces costs by lowering lead times and inventory levels. Japanese car manufacturers (e.g. Toyota and Honda) are very successful and famous world-wide because they have managed to produce very high quality cars at lower prices than their competition. Like most Japanese manufacturers, they follow Deming's total quality philosophy.

The downside with this philosophy is that is relies on a very tight vendor manufacturer relationship. Once Toyota or Honda, or other Japanese factories, start working with one vendor, they will continue to do so for long periods of time, since they trust their vendors maybe a little too much.

In this case, Toyota demands very low prices from its vendors in order to purchase components and parts. That leaves the company vulnerable to any problems related with the vendors' product quality.

Summary and reflection ....<br>how can we manage the problem of scarcity ?
Effectus [21]

The main thing we can do to manage the problem of scarcity is to not overspend.

Scarcity happen when the number of demand in our society heavily outnumber the amount of  resources available. By observing our consumption behavior today, we will notice that a lot of people spend money to buy more goods or services that they actually need.

If we control this overspending behavior, not only people who overspend can save some of their money, there will be a lot of goods/services left for other people.

Pizza Vesuvio makes specialty pizzas. Data for the past 8 months were collected: Month Labor Cost($) Employee Hours January 9,29
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1. $2,296

2. $19.58

3. Total labor cost = Fixed cost + (variable cost × employee hour)

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

1. The fixed cost would be

= High labor cost - (High employee hours × Variable rate per hour)

= $10,324  - (410 hours × $19.58)

= $10,324 - $8,028

= $2,296

2. Variable rate per hour = (High labor cost - low labor cost) ÷ (High employee hours - low employee hours)

= ($10,324 - $6,800) ÷ (410 hours - 230 hours)

= $3,524 ÷ 180 hours

= $19.58

3. The cost formula would be

Total labor cost = Fixed cost + (variable cost × employee hour)

                          = $2,296 + ($19.58 × employee hour)

The Harleysville Manufacturing Shop produces motorcycle parts. Typically, 10 pieces out of a job lot of 1,000 parts are spoiled.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

B

Materials Control $ 250

Manufacturing Overhead Control $1,000

              Work-in-Process Control $1,250

Explanation:

spoilage rate: 10/1000 = 0.01=1%

the job requires 2,500 goods parts

total part required (considering spoilage)

\frac{requirement}{1-spolage} =$total needs

2,500 /(1-0.01) = 2500/ 0.99 = 2525.2525 = 2525

2525-2500 = 25 spoilage part

<u>Note:</u>

in this case you may think you can simple do 2,500 x 0.01

But if the spoilage rate is high or the amount of high is, then you will have an answer different than the correct method. Stick to the formula given.

25 part x 50 = 1,250

From the work in process, we will subtract this value, we will increase the spoilage materials inventory and charge the diference as actual overhead.

b.

Materials Control $ 250

Manufacturing Overhead Control $1,000

              Work-in-Process Control $1,250

The difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay for a product and the actual price the consumer pays is ca
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The answer is consumer's surplus

Explanation:

Consumer's surplus is the difference between what the consumer or buyer is willing to pay and the amount he or she eventually paid.

For example, Mr A is willing to pay $100 for a product and the producer is willing to sell for $90. After much negotiation between mr A and the seller, he eventually paid $85. What he paid was lower than what he was willing to pay before.

So the consumer surplus is $100 - $85 = $15
