Answer:
The correct answer is B
Explanation:
Economic profit is the difference among the revenue received from the sale of the output and the cost of all inputs used and opportunity cost.
Zero economic profit, it is the situation where the firm is earning the same if its resources were employed in the next alternative which is best.
When the entry barriers in the market are low, then the firm will have the tendency of having a zero economic profit in the period of long run, as the profit which is short run will attract the extra suppliers which will result in down in the market price of the product.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Budgetary slack is a cushion created in a budget by management to increase the chances of actual performance beating the budget. Budgetary slack can take one of two forms: an underestimate of the amount of income or revenue that will come in over a given amount of time, or an overestimate of the expenses that are to be paid out over the same time period. Budgetary slack is generally frowned upon because the perception is that managers care more about making their numbers to keep their seats and gaming the executive compensation system rather than pushing company performance to its potential. Managers putting a budget together could low-ball revenue projections, pump up estimated expense items, or both to produce numbers that will not be hard to beat for the year. It also provides flexibility for operating under unknown circumstances, such as an extra margin for discretionary expenses in case budget assumptions on inflation are incorrect, or adverse circumstances arise.
Answer:
$280
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The cost per equivalent unit of production for direct materials is
Cost per equivalent unit of production= Direct material costs ÷ direct material units
Cost per equivalent unit of production= $280,000 ÷ 1,000 units
Cost per equivalent unit of production= $280
Therefore The cost per equivalent unit of production for direct materials is $280
Answer:
433 units
Explanation:
Information related to production costs are missing, so I looked for it. I found the following:
current sales price = $17
current fixed costs = $7,242
new labor costs per unit = $2.60, which results in a $0.50 increase
new direct materials cost per unit = $5.82, which results in a $1 decrease
total variable costs per unit = $8.42
Baldwin plans to pass 50% of the changes in costs to its customers:
- Increase $0.25 due to higher labor costs
- decrease $0.50 due to lower materials costs
- net change = -$0.25
new sales price = $17 - $0.25 = $16.75
contribution margin per unit = $16.75 - $8.42 = $8.33
break even point in units = total fixed costs / contribution margin per unit = $7,242 / $16.75 = 432.36 = 433 units
