Business

N76 [4]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

b) Direct materials price.

Explanation:

The purchasing manager would be associated to the quantity purchased and for the purchase price it is bought.

Therefore, labor variances are not his consideration.

And also in material variances we know, direct material quantity variance is calculated for the quantity <em>used</em> in production and not the quantity purchased, although the later is dealt by purchase manager the former relates to production manager.

Purchase manager is responsible and concentrates on the price at which the direct material is bought.

Thus, the correct option is

b) Direct materials price.

BigorU [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of two different depreciation schedules is shown below:-

a. Using the Double-declining balance method

Year            Equipment Cost      Depreciation rate     Amount

2005                $90,000                     50%                  $45,000

2006                $45,000                      50%                  $22,500

2007                $22,500                      50%                  $11,250

2008 No depreciation as it is lower that straight line method that is $22,500 also we took the double rate of 25% so we consider 50%

b. Using the straight line method

Straight Line Depreciation Method:

$100,000 - $10,000

= $90,000

Year            Equipment Cost      Depreciation rate      Amount

2005                $90,000                     25%                      $22,500

2006                $90,000                      25%                     $22,500

2007                $90,000                      25%                     $22,500

2008                $90,000                      25%                     $22,500

Depreciation rate is

= 1 ÷ 4 years

=  25

(Table: Cherry Farm) Use Table: Cherry Farm. If Hank and Helen have one of 100 farms in the perfectly competitive cherry industr
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

500

Explanation:

please find attached the table referred to in this question and a second table where marginal cost is included

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply.

in a perfect competition, price = marginal cost = marginal revenue

Marginal cost = total cost 2 - total cost 1

e.g. marginal cost at 2 units of output = $7 - $2 = $5

Hank and Helen would supply at the point  where marginal cost is equal to $5.

looking at the second attached table, there are two points where marginal cost is equal to $5. at output 1 and output 5.

at output one, Hank and Helen would be earning a loss because total cost is greater than total revenue. so they would not supply at this point.

at output five, Hank and Helen would earn a profit and thus would supply at 5 units of output.

Since all firms face and identical cost structure, the industry supply would be 100 x 5 = 500 pounds

expeople1 [14]

Answer: $15,060

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Ben and Jerry were shareholders of Water Ice Inc., an S corp. On Jan. 1, 1998, Ben owned 40 shares and Jerry owned 60 shares.

We are further told that Ben sold his shares to Joe for $10,000 on March 31, 1998 and that the corp. reported a $50,000 loss at the end of 1998. The loss that will be allocated to Joe will be:

= $50,000 × 40% × 9/12

= $50,000 × 0.4 × 0.75

= $15,000

The closest figure we have close to that is $15,060 which is option B
