Answer:

$65 per unit

Explanation:

For computing the cost per unit first we have to determine the cost of goods manufactured which is shown below:

Cost of goods manufactured = Opening work in process + direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost - ending work in process

= $10,000 + $12,000 + $6,000 + $4,000 - $6,000

NeTakaya

Answer:

The answer is: E) It would not necessarily be considered high elsewhere

Explanation:

Usually the inflation rate in the US and Europe is around 1-3%. In the early 1980's the US inflation rate was above 10% so it was considered huge. But if you consider it against inflation rates in other countries, like Argentina for example, which currently has an annual inflation rate of over 60% then it wasn't that big. During the 1980's many countries suffered from hyperinflation, with monthly inflation rates of over 50%.

So the high inflation rate in the US and Europe wasn't necessarily high for other countries.

Setler [38]

a. creditor, collateral, borrower

b. borrower, creditor, collateral

c. credit union, loan, creditor

d. loan, collateral, creditor

The automobile dealership loans money to the man to buy a car. So, the automobile dealership is the creditor.

Collateral refers to anything that may be pledged in return for money, with the condition that the pledged item will be forfeited if the money is not repaid. Since the dealership will take possession of the car if the man fails to repay the money, it is a collateral.

The man who bought the car, owes money to the automobile dealership as he bought the car on a loan. So, he is a borrower.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

$150,000

Explanation:

The computation of value of ending inventory under absorption costing is shown below:-

Total Cost per unit = Direct Material per unit + Direct Labor per unit + Variable Overhead per unit + Fixed Overhead per unit

= $5 + $4 + $3 + ( $200,000 ÷ 25,000 units)

= $5 + $4 + $3 + $8

= $20

Ending Inventory in units = Units produced - Units sold

= 25,000 - 17,500

= 7,500

Cost of Ending Inventory = Total Cost per unit × Ending Inventory units

= $20 × 7,500

= $150,000

So, for computing the cost of ending inventory we simply multiply the total cost per unit with ending inventory units.
