Answer:
Total cost per year = $1,801,860
Explanation:
Given:
Annual demand = 12,000 units
Ordering cost = $30 per order
Inventory holding cost = $3 per year
Order quantity = 1000 units
Cost per unit of the item = $150
Find:
Total cost per year
Computation:
Total cost per year = Purchase cost + Order cost + Inventory holding cost
Total cost per year = [12,000 x 150] + [12,000/1000 x 30] + [1,000/2 x 3]
Total cost per year = 1,800,000 + 360 + 1500
Total cost per year = $1,801,860

Answer: (i) $20 per model
(ii) $27 per model
(iii) Ginny has a comparative advantage in building models.
Explanation:
A country or a firm has a comparative advantage in producing a commodity if the opportunity cost of producing that commodity in terms of other commodities is lower than the other country or firm.
Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.
If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.
Therefore,
Ginny's Opportunity cost of producing one model = 
= $20 per model
Eric’s opportunity cost of building models = $20 + 35% of $20
= $20 + $7
= $27 per model
Hence, Ginny has a comparative advantage in building models because Ginny's opportunity cost of building model is lower than Eric's opportunity cost.
A circular flow economy includes buying and selling between businesses, households, and governments.
The government takes money in through taxes and tariffs, and has expenditures on things like roads, military spending, and other federally funded programs. In this way the government both gives and takes in the economy.
Complete question :
Your company has sales of $101,500 this year and cost of goods sold of $66,300. You forecast sales to increase to $118,900 next year. Using the percent of sales method, forecast next year's cost of goods sold. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 temporarily allows 100% bonus depreciation (effectively expensing capital expenditures). However, we will still include depreciation forecasting in this chapter and in these problems in anticipation of the return of standard depreciation practices during your career The forecasted cost of goods sold (COGS) is $ ___________ (Round to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
$77,666
Explanation:
Given the following :
Sales for the year = $101,500
Cost of goods sold =$66,300
Forecasted increase in sales for next year = $118,900
Forecasted cost of goods sold for next year =?
Percentage cost of goods sold for this year:
Cost of goods sold / sales for this year
$66300/$101500
= 0.6532019
Forecasted cost of goods sold for next year:
(Forecasted increase in next year's sale * % cost of goods sold for this year)
= 118,900 * 0.6532019
= $77665.714
= $77666 ( nearest dollar)
