Answer:

A. Purchasing power parity

Explanation:

Purchasing power parity is a techniques that is used to determine the relative value or the exchange rates of currencies.

Eileen is using the purchasing power parity because she is comparing the cost effectiveness of buying a particular product in different countries using the dollar. The exchange rates of the currency of country  X and country  Y against will determine which country she will buy from.

In a nutshell, Purchasing power parity is a measurement of two currencies by taking the cost of living and inflation differences into account.

<u>550,000  520,000</u>

  30,000

Explanation:

For labor and raw materials we will assign the direct cost as part of Work In Process inventory. The indirect part will be post Overhead.

All this actual cost of overhead will be debited. When doing the applied overhead we credited so the difference will tell us the over or underapplied overhead.

Applied overhead calculation:

30,000 machine hours x $8 per hour = $240,000

Then we transfer the finished goods from WIP into finished goods inventory.

The sales price will be 480,000 x (1 + 25% markup) = 600,000

For the T-accounts we will post each value of the WIP and Overhead account. Then add each column and calculate the balance considering the 42,000 beginning inventory

Marita and Alexandra set up a Limited Partnership. Marita is named General Partner and Alexandra is named Limited Partner. Marit
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

In a partnership form of business ownership, a limited partner enjoys limited liability to the debts of the business. Alexandra is named as a limited partner. He should not participate in the day to day management of the business.

Marita is a general partner and is involved in managing business operations. He has unlimited liabilities to the debts of the business. If Marita embezzles investors' funds, Alexandra is only liable to the extent of his capital contribution. His personal properties cannot be attached to business debts. Alexandra can only be liable if he participates in the management of the business. Marita, on the other hand, is fully responsible for business debts.

Beginning inventory 210,000

(105,000 x 2)

Add Ending inventory 44,000

(20% of May production needs

( 110,000 x 2 x 20%)

Less Beginning Inventory 42,000

(20% of April)

April pounds of material to be purchased 212,000 pounds

(210,000+44,000-42,000)

Therefore the pounds of material to be purchased in April is 212,000 pounds

Schiller Company has unit costs of $2 for materials and $6 for conversion costs. There are 5,600 units in ending work in process
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

$19,600

Explanation:

Using the FIFO method, only 25% of the inventory should be valued at full cost (conversion + materials), while the remaining 75% of the 5,600 units should be valued only at the materials cost, since conversion is still required. The total cost assigned to ending work in process inventory is:

WIP = 5,600*0.25*(\$2+\$6)+5,600*0.75*\$2\\WIP=\$19,600

The total cost is $19,600.

the break-even quantity =   Fixed cost / contribution margin

contribution margin on the other hand is  sales price minus variable cost

sales ratio                               4                        1

weigheted average contribution margin =  ($7*4)   + ($8*1)

                                                                               4 + 1

                                                                  =    $36/5

                                                                  =  $7.2

Overall break-even quantity =   $84,000/$7.2

                                              =   11,667

Break-even unit :

DVD   =   (4  * 11,667)/ 5

         =    9,334units

Equipment sets =  ( 1 * 11,667)/5

                          =   2,333 units

Explanation:

this question is on multi- products.

The overall break-even quantity of the firm will be computed first using the weighted average contribution margin of the firm and common fixed cost.

The break-even quantity will later be divided between the two product based on their  sales ratio.
