Spending that goes into our national debt. Debt spending.
Answer:
There are three stages of assignment of costs to each product and these are as under:
- Allocation
- Apportionment
- Absorption / Activity Based costing
So this question relates to stage one. Suppose the following situation:
There are 2 departments and they have following expenses
Department A has a supervisor whose annual salary is $30000
Department B has a worker whose annual salary is $22000
Department A & B have shared a rented property for there operations.
Department A and B also shares electricity bills and annual electricity charges stand almost $80,000
Now the directly attributable / traceable cost to Department A are those that are hundred percent related to Department A. In this example, we saw that supervisor salary is the only cost that is hundred percent related to Department A. Likewise Worker's salary is also relateable to Department B. Whereas the rental cost and electricity bills are not directly attributable to these departments. So this means the manufacturing costs that are directly traceable are those that hundred percent relates to the manufacturing departments.
Answer:
increase, decrease
Explanation:
In simple words, when the tax was imposed on the product the company will ultimately bear it to the final consumer which means the price will rise. However when the price of the product rises the demand for that product decreases due to the fact that many individuals would not be able to buy it now from their limited income, this phenomenon is called price elasticity due to income.
Answer:
Using EMV analysis, the number of units of the new product should be purchased for resale = Purchase 7.
The maximum EMV of profit you can make is 270.
Explanation:
We can use the following method to solve the given problem
Solution:
Using EMV analysis,
EMV (Purchase 6 for resale)= 6(40)(0.1) + 6(40)(0.4) + 6(40)(0.5)=240
EMV (Purchase 7 for resale) = [6(40)-60](0.1) +7(40)(0.4) + 7 (40)(0.5) = 270
EMV (Purchase 8 for resale) = [6(40)-2(60)] (0.1) + [7 (40) - 60] (0.4) + 8(40)(0.5)= 260
Largest EMV= 270; Choose to purchase 7 units for resale.
