Answer:

60%

Explanation:

The question requires us to calculate the percentage change in the quantity of beer consumption as a result of the government's price increment using the midpoint method.

Using the midpoint method,

Price elasticity of demand is equivalent to;

(%change in quantity demanded)/(percentage change in price)

% change in price=[(P2 - P1)/(P2+P1)] × 200%

For this question , % change in price = [(20-10)/(20+10)] × 200℅ = 66.7%

Given that price elasticity of demand is 0.9, we have that

0.9 = ℅ change in demand/66.7%

% change in demand = 66.7% × 0.9 = 60%.

This means that a change in the price of beer from $10 to $20 will reduce the demand by 60%

Answer:

The government policy should have reduced beer consumption by 0.6 or 60%

Explanation:

Mid point formula calculates the ratio of mid point of change in demand and change in price to their average value. Then these changes are used in the calculations of elasticity of demand.

According to given data:

Elasticity of demand = 0.9

Midpoint of price  = (20-10) / [(20+10)/2] = 10 / 15 = 0.6667

Elasticity of Demand = Midpoint of demand / Midpoint of price

0.9 = Midpoint of demand / 0.6667

Midpoint of price = 0.9 x 0.6667 = 0.6

Change in demand is should reduce the consumption by 0.6 or 60%.

Long-term assets:

Equipment                          $82,200

Accumulated depreciation (34,600)    $47,600

Total assets                                         $231,200

Liabilities and Equity:

Current liabilities:

Bank loan payable             $19,000

Accounts payable               90,800

Income tax payable            27,800   $137,600

Equity:

Common stock                 $34,000

Retained earnings             59,600    $93,600

Total liabilities and equity                $231,200

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Ending Bank Loan = $19,000

Ending cash balance = $59,700

Accounts receivable = $96,600 ($138,000 * 70%)

Accounts payable = $90,800

Ending inventory = $27,300 (780 * $35)

Net income = $49,800

Income tax payable = $27,800

Equipment at cost = $82,200

Accumulated depreciation, beginning $31,800

Depreciation for the month =                   2,800

Accumulated depreciation, ending =  $34,600

Retained earnings, beginning = $9,800

Net income                                  49,800

Retained earnings, ending      $59,600

Koebel Corp uses a job order costing system with manufacturing overhead applied to products on the basis of direct labor hours.
Lynna [10]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate Overhead Rate per hour

Predetermined Overhead rate will be the estimated total manufacturing overhead divided by the estimated total direct labor hours. This will be:

= $ 921,600/51,200

= $ 18

(b) Calculate how much manufacturing overhead will be applied to production

Manufacturing overhead that'll be applied to production will be the predetermined overhead rate multiplied by the actual total direct labor hours. This will be:

= $ 18 × 48,900 direct labor hours

= $ 880,200

(c) Is overhead over- or underapplied? By how much?

The Actual Overhead Incurred = $902,900 while the manufacturing overhead applied = $880,200. This shows that overhead is underapplied due to the fact that manufacturing overhead applied is less than the actual overhead that is incurred.

Therefore, the amount of overhead that was underapplied will be:

= $ 902,900 - $ 880,200

= $ 22,700

(d) What account should be adjusted for over-or underapplied overhead? Should the balance be increased or decreased?

Based on the scenario in the question and the answers calculated, the cost of goods sold should be increased.
