A beneficial technological change is developed in the production of cranberries. at the same time, scientists discover that cranberries have significant health benefits. this will result in an increase in the equilibrium quantity and an uncertain impact on the equilibrium price of cranberries.

Equilibrium quantity is the number where quantity demanded is equal to quantity supplied. Although there is new advances in the technological production of cranberries, we don't know how the price of the cranberries will be effected, if at all, from the changes. However, since the production of cranberries is going to to be more efficient, the amount supplied will likely rise to match the amount demanded.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

$37,700

Explanation:

Ending balance in WIP = 13,500 + 41,000 + 58,000 + 32,800 - 86,000

Ending balance in WIP = $59,300

Direct material charged to Job #23 = $59,300 - $12,000 - ($12,000*80%)

Direct material charged to Job #23 = $59,300 - $12,000 - $9,600

Direct material charged to Job #23 = $37,700

AnnZ [28]

A collusive agreement between two firms is likely to break down when detection of cheaters is difficult .

Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

Collusion is a secret agreement between two or more parties to suppress open competition by misleading, lying or defrauding others of their rightfulness or achieving a goal prohibited by law that usually is to defraud or gain an unacceptable market advantage.  

It is an agreement between companies or individuals that divides a market establishes prices, limits or limits production opportunities. It can include "strike, pay manipulation, kickbacks or the freedom of the relationship between the two parties." All collusion-driven actions are considered null and void legally.

In the USA, Canada collusion is illegal because of antitrust legislation, but implicit collusion even now takes place in the method of price management and tacit agreement.  

Example: Google and Apple announced that both firms decided not to hire people to work together to stop wage growth in 2015, a statement against bullying collusion by employees.

miv72 [106K]
<span>Well, your costs per title have decreased from: $780/7 = $111.43 to: $1080/12 = $90 That represents a decrease in costs of almost 20%. Then. taking the change in titles processed per dollar of cost (the reciprocals of previous calculations), means that total productivity has increased by around 23.8%. Are you calculating labor productivity as including overhead? Because then the answer is 23.8%.</span>

a mail-order house uses 15,875 boxes a year. carrying costs are 79 cents per box a year, and ordering costs are $97. the followi
Kitty [74]

Number of boxes price per box according to price schedule is 3.18 orders.

Given

Annual demand D = 15875 boxes per year

Carrying cost H = 0.79 cents

Ordering cost S = $97

Optimal order quantity Q

Q=\sqrt{\frac{2*15875*97}{0.79}}

Q = 1974 units

But at Q = 1974 units we are getting less discount. So, we calculate total cost at Q = 19, Q = 2000, Q = 5000, Q = 10000

Total cost = Purchase cost + Annual Holding cost + Annual ordering cost = PD + (Q/2)H + (D/Q)S

The total cost is less at optimal order quantity Q = 5000

a) Optimal order quantity = 5000 boxes

b) Number of orders = (D/Q) = 15875/5000 = 3.18

Number of orders = 3.18 orders

Total standard cost per unit                                                                    $64.30

Required:

1) For direct materials:

a) compute the price and quantity variances

b) The materials were purchased from a new supplier who is anxious to enter into a long - term purchase contract, would you recommend that the company sign the contract?

2) For direct labor:

a) Compute the rate and efficiency variances

b) In the past 23 technicians employed in the production of Fludex consists of 4 senior technicians and 19 assistants. During November, the company experimented with fewer senior technicians and more assistants to reduce labor costs, would you recommend that the new labor mix be continued?

3) compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances                

Answer:

Check below for answer

Explanation:

1a) Standard quantity of material for actual production(SQ) = 3600*2.60 = 9360 ounce

Actual quantity of material purchased = 13000 ounce

Actual quantity of material used(AQ) = 13000 - 3300 = 9700 ounce

Standard price of material(SP) = $20 per ounce

Actual price of material(AP) = $244,400 / 13000 = $18.80

 Material price variance = (SP - AP) * AQ purchased = ($20 - $18.80) * 13000 = $15,600 F

Material quantity variance = (AQ - SQ) * SP = (9700 - 9360) * $20 = $6800 U

2a) Standard hours of direct labor = 3600*0.6 = 2160 hours

Standard rate of direct labor(SR) = $16 per hour

Actual hours of direct labor(AH) = 20*150 = 3000 hours

Actual rate of direct labor(AR) = $14 per hour

Direct labor rate variance = (SR - AR) * AH = ($16 - $14) * 3000 = $7,000 F

Direct labor efficiency variance = (AH - SH) * SR = (3000 - 2160) * $16 = $13,440U

2b) If more assistants rather senior technicians are employed,  favorable direct labor rate variance will improve but  efficiency variance will be unfavorable. Since unfavorable efficiency variance is higher than favorable rate variance, the new labor mix should not be continued.

3)  Standard hours of direct labor = 2160 hours  

Standard rate of variable overhead= $4.50 per hour

Actual hours of direct labor = 3000

Actual rate of variable overhead = $6500 / 3000 = $2.17 per hour

Variable overhead rate variance = (SR - AR) * AH = ($4.50 - $2.17) * 3000 = 6990 F

Variable overhead efficiency variance = (SH - AH) * SR = (2160 - 3000) * $4.50 = $186.67 U
