Answer: A) absorption costing unit product costs
Explanation:
Absorption costing is the costing convention that is used when fixed costs need to be apportioned to the production of goods and services.
When a company has idle capacity, any production done using that idle capacity would incur no fixed costs because the fixed costs for the entire capacity, both idle and non-idle have been covered already as fixed costs are charged on the entire company capacity.
Absorption costing is therefore not relevant here as the company will use its sufficient idle capacity that has already incurred fixed costs.
Answer:
B. variable overhead efficiency variance
Explanation:
Answer option A, C, and D are incorrect. In variable overhead cost variance, we determine the difference between the actual and budgeted cost. In fixed overhead cost variance, we do not use allocation base cost. Again, in fixed overhead volume variance, we cannot use allocation base cost.
'B' is correct because the difference between the actual allocation base quantity and budgeted allocation base quantity multiplying with the standard rate states the variable overhead efficiency variance. The activity level is required to determine efficiency variance.
Answer:
5.37%
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
We can calculate the company’s after tax return on preferred by using following formula:-
Company’s After Tax Return = Before Tax Dividend Yield Rate on Preferred Stock × [1 - (1 - Dividend Exclusive) × (Tax Rate)]
= 6% × [1 - (1 - 70%) × (35%)]
= 0.06 × [1 - (1 - 0.70) × (0.35)]
= 0.06 × [1 - (0.30) × (0.35)]
= 0.06 × (1 - 0.105)
= 0.0537
= 5.37%
We simply applied the above formula to determine the company after tax return
One advantage of modularization is that it simplifies its own manufacturing systems. With this, companies can separate their material cost and product development, and they can also optimize their total product cost through increasing the potential of the variety of products, having a fast product development and upgrade, having a better time-to-market, service support, aftermarket, and lastly, enabling continuous market and product improvement.
Answer:
(i) The farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units
(ii) The farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down
(iii) The two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200)
Explanation:
(i)According to given data, When output is 200 but price is $20, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm breaks even. But since this price is higher than AVC of $15, the farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units.
(ii) When output is 200 but price is $12, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm makes economic loss. Also, this price is lower than AVC of $15, so the farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down.
(iii) The farm's supply curve is the portion of its Marginal cost (MC) curve above the minimum point of AVC. Since price equals MC, the two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200).
