The Morrow Company has assembled the following data pertaining to certain costs that cannot be easily identified as either fixed

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

$39,800

Explanation:

From the question above Morrow company has decided to use the measuring cost function method to find its total cost

- $68,400 is the highest cost and $37,600 is the lowest cost

- 6,000 is the highest number of hours and 3,200 is the lowest

The first step is to calculate the cost driver. Let's use the alphabet c to represent the cost driver

(68,400-37,600) / (6,000-3,200)

c = 30,800/2,800

c= $11

Cost driver= $11

The next step is to find the fixed cost. Let's use the alphabet f to represent the fixed cost

68,400= f + ( 11×6000)

68,400= f + 66,000

f= 68,400-66,000

f= $2,400

Fixed cost= $2,400

The final step is to calculate the cost function

Cost function= fixed costs+variable costs×number of units

Fixed cost= $2,400

Variable cost= $11

Number of units= 3,400 hours

= 2,400+(11×3,400)

= 2,400+ 37,400

= $39,800

Hence the total cost at an operating level of 3,400 hours is $39,800

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

D. Market maturity

Explanation:

Over the past several years, like other auto manufacturers, General Motors (GM) has introduced many new models of sport utility vehicles (SUVs) in all of its major divisions. This proliferation of SUVs and an increase in gasoline prices have caused sales to level off. In response, General Motors offered rebates of up to $5,000, or no-interest financing, on selected models of SUVs. The largest rebates went to current owners of GM vehicles, so that they would replace their current vehicles with a GM model instead of switching to another brand. The rebates have been heavily advertised on national television. Profit margins per vehicle have shrunk as a result of these costly promotions.

General Motors is currently operating in the Market maturity stage of production life cycle.

Marin Industries had one patent recorded on its books as of January 1, 2020. This patent had a book value of $201,600 and a rema

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The patent should be reported at $302,400 on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet.

Explanation:

Remaining useful life in month of patent on January 1, 2020 = 8 * 12 = 96 months

Remaining useful life in month of patent on December 1, 2020 = 96 - 11 = 85 months

Amortization of book value of patent in 2020 = (Patent Book value / Remaining useful life in month of patent on January 1, 2020) * 12 = ($201,600 / 96) * 12 = $25,200

Amortization of legal cost in 2020 = (Legal cost / Remaining useful life in month of patent on December 1,, 2020) * 1 = ($127,500 / 85) * 1 = $1,500

Carrying amount of patent = Patent Book value + Legal cost = $201,600 + $127,500 = $329,100

Patent book value on December 31, 2020 = Carrying amount of patent - Amortization of book value of patent in 2020 - Amortization of legal cost in 2020 = $329,100 - $25,200 - $1,500 = $302,400

Therefore, the patent should be reported at $302,400 on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet.
