Answer:

Explanation:

If MyPillow wants to get real time update, it means it wants to get update as people are watching tv. In order to reach its audience, it would be right to reach them on the medium they use while watching tv. If most people do not use their desktop computers while watching TV , it would not be appropriate to use desktop computers.

But if people watch tv and use their phone, the appropriate means of carrying this research is through mobile.

Two drivers—Brian and Crystal—each drive up to a gas station. Before looking at the price, each places an order. Brian says, "I'

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Brian's demand is perfectly inelastic.

Crystal's demand is unit elastic.

Explanation:

Given that

Brian said = 10 gallons of gas

where, Crystal says = $10 worth of gas

By seeing the above information, we concluded that the Brain's demand is perfectly inelastic as the demand of the gallons are fixed

And, the crystal demand is unitary elastic as the expenditure would remain unchanged or fixed

In addition, the perfectly inelastic is when elasticity is zero , and unitary elastic is when elasticity is equal to one

Jolene is opening a doggy daycare named "Little Barks." She is leaving her current job where she makes $75,000 per year in order

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Accounting profit is the difference between total revenue and accounting cost in which the accounting cost is containing only the explicit cost incurred. Economic profit is the difference between total revenue and total opportunity cost, the latter containing both the explicit cost and the implicit cost incurred.

Accounting profit = revenue - explicit cost

Accounting profit = 125,000 - (10000 + 20000)

Accounting profit = 95,000

Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost

Economic profit = 95,000 - (75000 + 5000)

Economic profit = 15,000

This implies that while accounting profit does not undertake implicit cost of economic activity (cost for which no explicit payment is made separately), economic profit does deduct them. Now economic profit is positive, Jolene should open Little Barks.

Gable Company uses three activity cost pools. Each pool has a cost driver. Information for Gable Company follows:

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the activity rate for each activity:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Machining= 312,000/80,000= $3.9 per machine hour

Designing costs= 73,600/8,000= $9.2 per design hour

Setup costs= 71,600/500= $143.2 per batch

<u>Now, we can allocate overhead to each product:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

<u>Product A:</u>

Machining= 3.9*30,000= 117,000

Designing costs= 9.2*3,200= 29,440

Setup costs= 143.2*50= 7,160

Total overhead= $153,600

<u>Product B:</u>

Machining= 3.9*40,000= 156,000

Designing costs= 9.2*1,800= 16,560

Setup costs= 143.2*175= 25,060

Total overhead= $197,620

<u>Product C:</u>

Machining= 3.9*10,000= 39,000

Designing costs= 9.2*3,000= 27,600

Setup costs= 143.2*275= 39,380

Total overhead= $105,980
