Answer:

escalation of commitment

Explanation:

Penny invest into the business additional funds ignoring the expected outcome of the business (the future returns are not expected to increase)

Penny is not doing the proper analysis of the past six month

The invested funds, time and other resources should not be considered they are sunk cost. The 50,000 will increase the losses not cut them as the return are not going to improve. Additional funds should be invested when there is a financial need due to other project which required more lverage and not to make up for revenues falling behind budget

Penny avoids to acknowle the true fact of the business.

Answer: escalation of commitment (sunk cost effect)

Explanation: The escalation of commitment is also known as sunk cost effect or commitment bias and its the typical behavior pattern that Penny is exhibiting. Escalation of commitment occurs when an individual or group continues to dedicate resources (time, energy, money) to a failing course of action. This happens usually because we want to appear consistent or waiting for a turnaround that might not be evident. Penny needs to apply good decision-making to her actions by gathering and analyzing applicable information concerning her investment, prior and after, and then using it to identify the best course of action to take.

Answer:

C)some inputs are fixed and some inputs are variable.

Explanation:

Usually, the fixed cost are usually fixed for a some levels of activity. However, as the level of activities increases, the fixed cost may also increase.

Variable cost on the other hand changes directly as the level of activities (say number of units produced) changes.

As such, in the short run, some inputs are fixed and some inputs are variable.

Option C is right.

zmey [24]

Answer:

Answer:

1. Overhead over applied= $521,000

2. Factory Overhead   Dr.     $ 521,000

Cost Of Goods Sold Cr.    $ 521,000

3. Work in Process,  (ratio)   $521,000 *    7%=  36,470

Finished Goods,              $521,000   *     19%=  98,990

Cost of Goods Sold       $521,000    *    74%=  385,540

Total                        $521,000     100%

4. Difference between the two CGS= $ 136,060

Explanation:

Predetermined Overhead  Costs $1,152,000

Estimated activity level of 72,000 machine-hours

Overhead rate= $ 1152,000/ 72,000= $ 16 per hour

Manufacturing overhead cost $551,000

Actual hours = 67,000

Overhead applied to WIP = 67,000 * 16= $ 1072,000

Overhead over applied= $ 1072,000 - $551000= $521,000

Part 2:

Factory Overhead   Dr.     $ 521,000

Cost Of Goods Sold Cr.    $ 521,000

The Cost of Goods Sold is credited and Factory overhead is debited.

Part 3:

Suppose the overhead is applied in the following ratio

Work in Process,  (ratio)   $37,520          7%   (37520/536,00*100%)

Finished Goods,              $101,840         19%      (101840/536,00*100%)

Cost of Goods Sold       $396, 640        74%     (396,640/536,00*100%)

Total                        $536,000     100%

The  overhead over applied  would be allocated in the following way applying the same ratio as determined above.

Work in Process,  (ratio)   $521,000 *    7%=  36,470

Finished Goods,              $521,000   *     19%=  98,990

Cost of Goods Sold       $521,000    *    74%=  385,540

Total                        $521,000     100%

Part 4:

Cost of Goods Sold ( overhead applied of $396, 640) $1,472,600

Less    Overhead   overapplied      $ 521,000

CGS = $ 951,000

Cost of Goods Sold (overhead applied to WIP & FG) $1,472,600

Less   Overapplied Overhead $ 385,540

CGS=  $ 1087,060

Difference between the two CGS = $ 1087,060- $ 951,000= $ 136,060

krok68 [10]

Rates for corporate outings is NOT an example of an FPRA rate

Explanation:

The FPRA is an agreement between an entrepreneur and a governmental agency in which some indirect charges are determined over a set period of time. All such rates are price forecasts used for cost agreements and contract changes.

By using an FPRA the contracting system can be accelerated by removing the need for audit and analysis of rates. The Contracting Officer (COO) oversees the prices of the contracting party. The ACO should always be asked any questions about the prices. After a FPRA is reached, a copies of the agreement should always be provided for in any ensuing proposal.
