Ilya [14]

Answer:

Option (d) $16,008.17

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The price of the Firebird in 1969 = $2,500

Price index in 1969 = 36.7

Price index in 2013 = 235

Now,

The price of the Firebird in 2013 dollars will be

= [ Price index in 2013 ÷ Price index in 1969 ] × The price of the Firebird in 1969

= [ 235 ÷ 36.7 ] × $2,500

= 6.40327 × $2,500

= $16,008.17

Hence,

Option (d) $16,008.17

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The answer to this question is (c) Labour, Labour intensive

In the 2-factor, 2-good Heckscher-Ohlin model, the country with a relative abundance of labour will have a production possibility frontier that is biased toward production of the labour intensive good

Explanation:

The Heckscher-Ohlin model is an economic theory that proposes that countries export what they can most efficiently and plentifully produce.

The model emphasizes the export of goods requiring factors of production that a country has in abundance. It also emphasizes the import of goods that a nation cannot produce as efficiently. It takes the position that countries should ideally export materials and resources of which they have an excess, while proportionately importing those resources they need.

Therefore in regard to the question above,

In the 2-factor, 2-good Heckscher-Ohlin model, the country with a relative abundance of labour will have a production possibility frontier that is biased toward production of the labour intensive good

Hence the answer is the third option, Labour, Labour intensive

foreign steel exports, a company based in brazil, colludes with other steel-export companies from around the world to agree on t

Tanya [424]

This type of agreement is a violation of the Sherman Act.

A piece of antitrust law from the United States, the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, established the idea of unlimited competition between companies. It was authorized by Congress, and its main author is Senator John Sherman. The Sherman Act forbids "any contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade," as well as "every monopolization, attempted monopolization, conspiracy, or combination to monopolize." In order to avoid monopolistic alliances that impede trade and erode economic competition, the Sherman Antitrust Act was created in 1890. It prohibits both formal cartels and attempts to monopolize any sector of American commerce.

Lillich, Inc., manufactures and sells two products: Product U6 and Product R5. Data concerning the expected production of each p

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Lillich, Inc.

c. The unit product cost of Product U6 under traditional costing is greater than its unit product cost under activity-based costing by $5.63.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Direct labor rate = $28.00 per DLH

Product U6 Product R5 Total

Expected production 690 1,060

Direct materials cost/unit $250.40 $167.80

Direct Labor Hours/unit 8.9 5.9

Total direct labor hours 6,141 6,254 12,395

Direct labor costs $171,948 ($28*6,141) $175,112 ($28*6,254)

Total direct materials cost $172,776 ($250.4*690) $177,868 ($167.8*1,060)

Total overhead $636,360 $658,752 $1,295,112

Total production cost $981,084 $1,011,732

Expected production 690 1,060

Cost per unit $1,421.86 $954.46

Traditional costing:

Direct labor costs $171,948 ($28*6,141) $175,112 ($28*6,254)

Total direct materials cost $172,776 ($250.4*690) $177,868 ($167.8*1,060)

Total overhead $641,612 $653,418 $1,295,112

Total production cost $986,336 $1,006,398

Expected production 690 1,060

Cost per unit $1,429.47 $949.43

Allocation of overhead based on direct labor hours

= $ 1,295,086/12,395

= $104.48 per DLH

Product U6 = $641,612 ($104.48 * 6,141)

Product R5 = $653,418 ($104.48 * 6,254)

Estimated Expected Activity

Activity Cost Pools Activity Overhead Product Product Total

Measures Costs U6 R5

Labor-related DLHs $ 201,638 7,125 7,280 14,405

Production orders Orders 72,840 1,350 1,250 2,600

Order size MHs 1,020,608 6,500 6,800 13,300

Total $ 1,295,086

Overhead rates:

Labor-related = $201,638/14,405 = $14.00 per DLH

Production orders = $72,840/2,600 = $28.00 per order

Order size = $1,020,608/13,300 = $76.74 per machine hour

Overhead allocation:

Product U6 Product R5 Total

Labor-related $99,750 (7,125*$14) $101,920 (7,280*$14) $201,670

Production orders 37,800 (1,350*$28) 35,000 (1,250*$28) 72,800

Order size 498,810 (6,500*$76.74) 521,832 (6,800*$76.74) 1,020,642

Total overhead $636,360 $658,752 $1,295,112
