Workings:

w1. Variable selling expenses = Sales * Commission percentage

Poinsettias = $970,000 * 4% = $38,8000

Fruit Trees = $3,100,000 * 4% = $124,000

w2. Allocation of common expenses using the following assuptions:

a) Use cost of goods sold (COGS) to allocate Common fixed overhead:

Poinsettias = (460,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $176,077

Fruit Trees = (1,630,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $623,923

b) Use common selling and administrative expense using Sales:

Poinsettias = (970,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $176,077

Fruit Trees = (3,100,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $623,923

Cozy Nights Industries manufactures down-filled comforters and uses activity-based costing. The following information is provide
yuradex [85]

Answer:

the total manufacturing cost per comforter is $120.4

Explanation:

The computation of the total manufacturig cost per comfortor is as follows:

= Cost × activity consumed ÷ Total activity

For material handling

= $12,600 × 4 ÷ 4,200

= $12

For Assembly

= $55,440 × 4 ÷ 4,200

= $52.8

For packaging

= $10,920 × 4 ÷ 1,050

= $41.6

And, the direct material cost is $14

So, the total manufacturing cost per comforter is

= $12 + $52.8 + $41.6 + $14

= $120.4

Hence, the total manufacturing cost per comforter is $120.4

This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options

Which of the following people are structurally unemployed? Select all answer options that apply. Choose one or more: A. A newspa
aleksley [76]

Answer:

The correct answers are letters "A", "C", "D", "E", and "F".

Explanation:

Structural unemployment is an economic mismatch when workers fail to find jobs and employers with available openings cannot find workers. This problem can be created by technological advances and rapid relocation of available jobs along with other economic factors such as rapid technological changes, and government policy. In that sense:

<em>A.</em><em> A newspaper photographer loses his job due to the decreased circulation of the physical newspaper. His boss says more people are using the Internet to get their news. (</em><u><em>Technological change)</em></u>

<em>C.</em><em> A teacher at the local high school loses his job when declining enrollment causes the school district to consolidate schools. </em><u><em>(Government policy)</em></u>

<em>D.</em><em> A worker on an assembly line loses her job when the company outsources jobs to China. </em><u><em>(Job relocation)</em></u>

<em>E.</em><em> Your mechanic closes his shop because recent advances in technology mean that cars need much less servicing, and he doesn’t have enough work to keep the business open. (</em><u><em>Technological change)</em></u>

<em>F.</em><em> Two employees of a tax accounting firm are laid off because new tax software has made it easier for people to do their own taxes. (</em><u><em>Technological change)</em></u>
