Nelson Industries makes widgets using a two-step process that involves machining first and assembly second. In the Machining Dep

artment, all materials are issued at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. During the period, the Machining Department transferred out 8,600 widgets and had an ending inventory of 4,000 widgets that were 85% complete. Beginning inventory consisted of 6,000 units that were 35% complete. What are the equivalent units of production for materials in the Machining Department? A. 3,400 widgets B. 12,000 widgets C. 6,600 widgets D. 12,600 widgets

Answer:

The answer is: D

Explanation:

At the end of the financial year, manufacturing companies have to assign costs to the goods which they produced in that period. At year end, the production does not stop, therefore, there could be items still in production at reporting date. In order to give as accurate information as possible, the company has to cost the production items with an estimate of the total items produced. Equivalent units of production refer to the summation of items that have been started and completed during the reporting period and the items still undergoing production at their estimated stage of completion. This provides an approximation of the total units of production, had the incomplete items been counted as complete at their estimated stage of completion.

Example: if 3,000 units were started and completed during the period and 2,000 units were in closing inventory at 60% completion, then the total equivalent units of production would be equal to 4,200 units (3,000 + (2,000*60)).

Using the First in First Out Method:

Equivalent units of Production =  Total units completed during the period + Units in Ending WIP

Note1: the question indicates the equivalent units of production for the <u>materials</u> in the Machining Department.

Materials are introduced at the beginning of the production process, making them 100% complete at the end of the period. Equivalent units of production for materials is therefore 12,600(8,600+4000)

Note2: 8,600 from the above calculation consists of:

Opening balance of 6,000 units at 100% completion - Materials

Started and completed during the period 2,600 units -Materials

4,000 units in the closing balance are 100% complete in terms of Materials

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

$154,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the total conversion cost

Using this formula

Total conversion cost=Direct labor cost incurred

+Applied factory overhead

Let plug in the formula

Total conversion cost =$109,800+$44,200

Total conversion cost=$154,000

Therefore Total conversion cost is $154,000

zhannawk [14.2K]
Contribution margin is calculated via subtracting the variable cost per unit to the sales price per unit. In equation, we have

Contribution margin = Sales Price - Variable Cost

Contribution margin ratio is calculated via dividing the contribution margin with the sales price. In equation, we have

Contribution margin ratio = contribution margin/sales price

Substituting the given values,
Contribution margin ratio for 65$ variable cost = (120-65)/120 = 0.4583 
Contribution margin ratio for 58$ variable cost = (120-58)/120 = 0.5167

<em>ANSWERS: 0.4583 or 45.83% and 0.5167 or 51.67%</em>

The government can use _____________ in the form of ____________________ to increase the level of aggregate demand in the econom
Naily [24]

The government can use <u>an expansionary fiscal policy </u>  in the form of <u>an increase in government spending </u> to increase the level of aggregate demand in the economy.

<h3>How does Government Spending Affect the Economy ?</h3>

There is a high possibility that the rise in taxes will negate the impact of rising government spending which would leave Aggregate Demand (AD) unchanged. However, it is possible that increased spending and rise in tax could lead to an increase in GDP.

In a recession, consumers may reduce spending leading to an increase in private sector saving. Therefore a rise in taxes may not reduce spending as much as usual.

The increased government spending may create a multiplier effect. If the government spending causes the unemployed to gain jobs then they will have more income to spend leading to a further increase in aggregate demand. In these situations of spare capacity in the economy, the government spending may cause a bigger final increase in GDP than the initial injection.

However, if the economy is at full capacity, the increase in government spending would tend to crowd out the private sector leading to no net increase in Aggregate demand from switching from private sector spending to government sector spending.

<h3>Which type of policy does the governments adopt to increase the aggregate demand in the economy?</h3>

Expansionary fiscal policy increases the level of aggregate demand, either through increases in government spending or through reductions in taxes. Expansionary fiscal policy is most appropriate when an economy is in recession and producing below its potential GDP.

Therefore, we can conclude that the correct option is C.

Your question is incomplete, but most probably your full question was:

The government can use _____________ in the form of ____________________ to increase the level of aggregate demand in the economy.

A. a contractionary fiscal policy; a reduction in taxes

B. an expansionary fiscal policy; an increase in corporate taxes

C. an expansionary fiscal policy; an increase in government spending

D. a contractionary fiscal policy; an increase in taxes

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The amount of the additional projected liability that should be recognized is $28,000

Explanation:

For computing the amount of the additional projected liability, we have to apply the formula which is shown below:

= Tax benefit in 20% - Tax benefit in 40%

= $70,000 - $42,000

= $28,000

The other information which is given in the question is irrelevant. So, it is not been considered in the computation part. Hence, it is ignored.

We took the higher value between $42,000 and $14,000.
