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

Rank the following types of businesses in order of risk to you, with the highest being number 1: partnership, limited partnershi
kompoz [17]

Answer:

  1. Sole Proprietorship
  2. Partnership
  3. Limited Partnership
  4. Limited Liability Company      

Explanation:

Sole Proprietorship is the type of business in which the liability is not limited. Due to this issue, the owner is solely responsible to pay off the debts of company from his personal owned assets if the business goes bankrupt.

Partnership is just like sole proprietorship but here the partners are the only responsible persons to payoff the debt of the company because the liability is limitless. The burden of the company debts is equally shared among the partners.

Limited Partnership is less risky because the liability is limited and only the amount invested in the business is subjected to the payment of borrowings from the lenders. The limited partner is responsible for his actions which means if his misdeed resulted in fine then it would be paid from his share first and then the other partners are equally liable to for compensation if their is still any amount left.

In the case of Limited liability company, the liability is limited and the burden of the payment of the liability falls on the company. So the investor is not subjected to pay the debts of the company because the limited liability company is a separate entity and is solely liable to pay for its debts.

A random experiment with three outcomes has been repeated 50 times, and it was learned that E1 occurred 20 times, E2 occurred 13
enot [183]

Answer:

P(E1)=\frac{20}{50}=0.4

P(E2)=\frac{13}{50}=0.26

P(E3)=\frac{13}{50}=0.34

I used the relative frequency method

Explanation:

To solve this question we can use the relative frequency to find out each probability. The relative frequency is the ratio of the occurrence of each event and the total number of outcomes.

Here the experiment has been repeated 50 times, so that is the total number of outcomes and the denominator. There are 3 possible events E1, E2, and E3, so we can calculate the ratios to get the probabilities

Event E1 occurred 20 times of the 50: P(E1)=\frac{20}{50}

Event E2 occurred 13 times of the 50: P(E2)=\frac{13}{50}

Event E3 occurred 17 times of the 50: P(E3)=\frac{17}{50}

Lisa Richter deposited $5,000 at 4% compounded semiannually for three years. At the beginning of the fourth year, Lisa deposited
Contact [7]

Answer:

Answer is option (d) $8,424

Explanation:

The total amount Lisa Richter will receive after the end of the first 3 years can be expressed using the formula for calculating the total amount after 3 years with interest compounded semiannually is as follows;

A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)

where;

A = the future value of the initial investment

P = initial investment amount/principal amount

r = the annual interest rate

n = the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t

t = the time the money is invested for

In our case;

P=$5,000

r=4/100=0.04

n=interest is compounded semiannually which is twice a year=2

t=3 years

Replacing values in the formula;

A=5,000(1+0.04/2)^(2×3)

A=5,000(1+0.02)^6

A=5,000(1.02)^6

A=$5,630.81

Total amount after the end of the first 3 years=$5,630.81

To calculate the total principal amount for the fourth year;

Total principal amount=Total amount after 3 years+Amount deposited at the beginning of the fourth year

where;

Total amount after 3 years=$5,630.81

Amount deposited at the beginning of the fourth year=$2500

replacing;

Total principal amount=(5,630.81+2500)=8,130.81

Using the formula;

A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)

P=$8,130.81

r=4/100=0.04

n=compounded semiannually=2

t=1 year

replacing;

A=8,130.81(1+0.04/2)^(2×1)

A=8,130.81(1.02)^2

A=8,459.29

Option (d)  $8,424 is closer to 8,459.29, take answer as (d) $8,424

If firms can easily enter and exit a​ market, then A. firms will produce at minimum average cost in the short run. B. firms will
enyata [817]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

`If firms can easily enter and exit the market, then firms operating in the market will earn zero economic profit in the long run. This is because the short run is too short for firms to enter and exit so potential firms will enter and exit in the long run.  

If the existing firms will be having negative profits, the firms having loss will exit the market. This will reduce market supply. As a result, the price level will increase. This will go on until all firms will have zero economic profits.  

Similarly, if the existing firms are having positive economic profits in the long run, the other firms will enter the market. This will increase the market supply such that the price level decreases. This will go on till all the firms will be having zero economic profits.
