Answer:

C. mass customization.

Explanation:

Mass customization is an economic term that refers to a company that promotes mass production of its products, but allows customization according to the needs and desires of the customer.

Therefore, it refers to the creation of a high volume product, which at the same time offers a wide range of options to the consumer, without compromising the gains in scale. The viability of this concept can be obtained by combining some strategies and technologies, such as modular product design and manufacturing technologies. Common marketing examples are the automobile and computer industries, where the customer, according to his needs and desires, "assembles" the product with the items he chooses. It is worth mentioning that until the moment of purchase, these items are stored, and their resupply depends on aggregate demand forecasts, while the assembly and configuration are triggered only by the specific order of the customer.

World Company expects to operate at 80% of its productive capacity of 50,000 units per month. At this planned level, the company
skad [1K]

Answer:

a. $13

b. $20,625 Unfavorable

Explanation:

a. Computation of overhead volume variance is shown below:-

Variable overhead rate = Variable overhead cost ÷ Expected standard hours

= $275,000 ÷ 25,000

= 11 direct labor hour

Fixed overhead rate = Productive capacity ÷ Expected standard hours

= $50,000 ÷ 25,000

= $2 direct labor hour

Total overheard rate = Variable overhead rate + Fixed overhead rate

= $11 + $2

= $13

b. The computation of overhead controllable variance is shown below:-

Variable overhead cost = Overhead rate × Standard hours

= $11 × 21,875

= $240,625

Fixed overhead cost = Overhead rate × Standard hours

= $2 × 21,875

= $43,750

Total overhead cost = $13 × 21,875

= $284,375

Actual result = $305,000

Variance = Actual result - overhead cost applied

= $305,000 - $284,375

= $20,625 Unfavorable

Working note:-

Standard direct labor hours = Actual units ÷ Standard hours

= 35,000 × 1.6

= $21,875

Standard units per hour = (Standard capacity × Expected production) ÷ Standard hours

= (50,000 units × 80%) ÷ 25,000 hours

= 1.6 units per hour

Describe key services that the financial system provides to savers. Question 17 options: Economies of scale of information Risk
jeka57 [31]

The answer is all of the above.

Risk sharing, liquidity, and knowledge are the three main services that the financial system offers to both savers and borrowers.

First, people seek steady returns on their holdings.

Investors often maintain a portfolio, or collection of assets, that offers generally consistent returns (diversification).

Risk is a measure of how unpredictable the return on an asset is.

Liquidity is a measure of an asset's ease of movement to be transformed into cash.

In financial markets, the information contains facts about borrowers and expectations of returns on financial assets.

Key Services of the Financial System:

  • Effective Payment System
  • Intermediary to Investors and Borrowers
  • Sharing of Economic Financial Risk
  • Diversification
  • Liquidity
  • Financial Information

Hence, key services that the financial system provides to savers include all of the above.

Trish receives $450 on the first of each month. Josh receives $450 on the last day of each month. Both Trish and Josh will recei
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The last option is the answer -$141.80

Explanation:

we will use the present value formula for Trish she gets paid every first day of the month therefore she will receive an immediate payment of cash flow which will be added to the present value of future periodic value. Therefore we will find the difference between present values for Trish and Josh which have the same amounts which they'll receive per month.

Given: Trish and josh both receive $450 per month therefore that will be C the monthly future payment that will be received.

They will receive these amounts in a course period of Four years so that will be n = 4 x12=48  because we know that they will receive these payments every month or on a monthly basis for four years. which n represent periodic payments.

i which is the discount rate of 9.5%/12 as we know they will recieve these amounts monthly.

Therefore using the following formulas for present value annuity:

Pv = C[(1-(1+i)^-n)/i] and Pv= C[(1-(1+i)^-n)/i](1+i) then get the difference between these two present values for Trish and Josh.

therefore we will substitute the above values on the above mentioned formula to get the difference:

Pv= 450[(1-(1+9.5%/12)^-48)/(9.5%/12)]  - 450[(1-(1+9.5%/12)^-48)/(9.5%/12)](1+9.5%/12)    then we compute and get

Pv= $17911.77614 - $18053.5777

Pv = -$141.80 is the difference between the two sets of present values as one has an immediate payment and one doesn't have it.

The assets of Dallas & Associates consist entirely of current assets and net plant and equipment, and the firm has no excess
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.Total Debt = Total Assets – Total Equity  = 2,700,000 – 1,550,000

= $1,150,000

2.Total assets = Total liabilities +Total equity = $2,700,000

3.Current Assets = Total Assets – Plant and Equipment  = 2,700,000-2,300,000  = 400,000

4.Current Liabilities = Total Liabilities – Long term debt = 1,150,000 – 748,000  = $402000

5.Accounts payables and accruals = current liabilities – notes payables

= 402000  – 150,000  = $252000

6.Working capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities  = 400,000-402,000

= -2000

7.Net operating working capital = Current assets – Accounts payables and accruals  = 400,000 – 252,000  = 148,000

8.Difference = -2,000-148,000 = -150,000  (indicates note payable)

Recalculation with new information:

1.Total Debt = Total Assets – Total Equity  = 4,000,000 – 2,000,000 -500,000 =  

= $1,500,000

2.Total assets = Total liabilities +Total equity = $4,000,000

3.Current Assets = Total Assets – Plant and Equipment  = 4,000,000-3,000,000  = $1,000,000

4.Current Liabilities = Total Liabilities – Long term debt = 1,500,000 – 950,000  = $550000

5.Accounts payables and accruals = current liabilities – notes payables

= 550,000  – 150,000  = $400,000
