Answer: Production is characterized by significant economies of scale is not an assumption of perfect competition (A)

Explanation:

A perfect competition is a form of market structure that has many buyers and may sellers. In a perfect competition, there is a free entry and exit for producers as there is no barrier.

Also, firms are price takers as no producer can influence the price of the goods in the market unlike in an imperfect competition which is a price maker as producers can influence price. Firms also sell identical products that are the same in quality, size etc.

In a perfect competition, production is not characterized by significant economies of scale. That is an assumption that can be found in monopoly.

Therefore, option A is the right answer.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Monthly payment = $769.27

Explanation:

First we have to determine the future value of the ordinary annuity:

Payment = $235.15

N = 20 * 12 = 240

Rate = 3.2% / 12 = 0.267%

Using a financial calculator and the FV function, the FV = $78,910.41

Again, using the financial calculator or Excel, you can determine the monthly payment:

N = 10 / 12 = 120

Rate = 0.267%

PV = $78,910.41

FV = $0

Monthly payment = $769.27

You are considering a project and are concerned about the reliability of the cash flow forecasts. To reduce any potentially harm
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: A. Lowering the degree of operating leverage.

Explanation:

The degree of operating leverage measure how much the earnings from a project will change as a result of sales.

If you are worried about the cash flow forecasts, it would be best to lower the operating leverage so as to reduce the forecasting error associated with the project. If the operating leverage is high then a small change in sales could impact income in a relatively huge way. By reducing the DOL, the cashflow from the project is easier to forecast and therefore more reliable.

Richards Corporation uses the FIFO method of process costing. The following information is available for October in its Fabricat
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Cost per equivalent unit Materials =  $ 2.82

Cost per equivalent unit Conversion =  $2.65

Explanation:

Richards Corporation

1) We first calculate the fifo equivalent units .

FIFO Equivalent units can be calculated by the following.

Particulars          Units        % of Completion             Equivalent Units

                                              Mat. Con. Costs       Materials C. Costs

Transferred out, 366,000        100       100             366,000   366,000

Ending inventory, 39,000         30         15              11700         5850

Total Weighted Equivalent Units                           377,700     371,850

Less

<u> Beginning Inventory: 98,000, 80%  20%             78,400        18000</u>

<u>FIFO Equivalent Units                                          299,300       353,850 </u>  

2) We calculate the total costs

                                                   Direct Materials  Conversion

Costs in beginning Work in Process -$55,200       $97,700

<u>Costs incurred in October -                 $844,050      $937,300. </u>

Total Cost                                           $ 899250         1035,000  

<u />

<u>3) In FIFO The cost per unit is  based only on the current costs and current period unit productions.</u>

Materials = $844050/299300= $2.82

Conversion = 937,300  / 353,850   = 2.6488= $2.65

A responsibility accounting performance report is a budget that makes comparison of actual and budgeted amounts under the controlled costs in a department .Here utilities and rent costs cannot be controlled so will not be included.

Responsibility accounting report for the snowmobile department.

Budgeted   Actual Over/Under Budget

Controlled costs

Raw materials  19,990  19,920   -70

Employee wages 10,900   11,210  310

Dept. manager salary4,800 4,900 100

Depreciation- Equip.6,500  6,500  0

Total               46,040    $46,200  160

Calculations .

Over/Underbudget = Actual - Budgeted amount.

Raw materials  =19,920-19990=   -70

Employee wages 11,210-10,900=  310

Dept. manager salary4,900-4800=100

Supplies used   3,670-3850= -180
