Answer:

a.Elasticity of demand is p = k/q (an inverse relationship between the price and quantity)

b.My answer in part (a) means that an increase in the price of the item will lead to a decrease in its demand, hence the following applies

<h2><u>Disclamer:</u></h2>

As it ask to run simulations the values calculates will difer even if you follow the same step as I did.

Answer:

Mean Profit: $ 4,295

Probability of loss: 29.80%

As the product has a mean profit it will on average generate gains

but:

as the standard deviation of the simulation was $ 7,778.40

<u>we should not invest on the product as it is to variable</u>

<u>Explanation</u>:

We are going to use the =RAND() function of excel

which, generates a random number between 0 and 1

This will be done 1,000 times 500 for the variable cost

and 500 for the demand.

Then we copy and paste this numbers to get them fixed.

Then, we convert them into actual cost and demand in units considering their distribution

using excel dist.norm.inv

Now, with this values we solve for profit on each one.

FOr the complexity I attached the excel file as the plataform interface cannot handle large tables.

The cost of goods for Mandy Manufacturing Company flow through an assembly and a finishing department before being transferred t

laila [671]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Beginning work in process = $4,000

Ending work in process in finishing department = $6,000

Cost transferred = $47,000

Direct material = $15,000

Direct labor = $46,000

Overhead = $22,000

Cost incurred in finishing department:

= Beginning work in process + Cost transferred + Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead

= $4,000 + $47,000 + $15,000 + $46,000 + $22,000

= $134,000

Cost of goods transferred to the Finished Goods Inventory account:

= Cost incurred in finishing - Ending work in process

= $134,000 - $6,000

= $128,000
