During the 19 th century, manufacturers changed their focus to _____ in order to wrest back control from wholesalers.

Answer: marketing orientation

Explanation:

Wholesalers controlled the marketing process during the 19th century, because they distributed unbranded commodity products from the manufacturers. But, when those markets got crowded, the wholesalers began playing off one supplier against another. This dramatically hurt the profits of the manufacturers, so they started to look for ways to wrest control back. The manufacturers shifted their emphasis from an orientation towards production to a marketing orientation. They were committed to new product development, developing their own sales teams, labeling and naming their products, and participating in strong national brand marketing.

Depreciation- Equip.     75,000

Expense Payable          62,000

Work in Process                             $300,000

Finished Goods

Account Title                     Debit        Credit

Work in Process           $592,000

Manufacturing overhead  15,000

3. Journal Entry for item (g):

Debit Finished Goods $607,000

Credit Work in Process $592,000

Credit Manufacturing overhead $15,000

To record the cost of manufactured parts, including the under-applied overhead.

4. Cost of goods sold = 10,000 *$607,000/16,000 = $379,375

(While Ending Inventory = 6,000 *$607,000/16,000 = $227,625.)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated manufacturing overhead = $4,800,000

Estimated machine hours = 240,000

Overhead rate = $4,800,000/240,000 = $20 per machine hour

Actual cost data for January:

Number of machine parts = 16,000

Raw materials purchased on account = $325,000

Raw materials cost:

 Direct materials = $232,000 (80% of $290,000)

 Indirect materials = $58,000 (20% of $290,000)

Labor cost

 Direct labor = $60,000 ($180,000 * 1/3)

 Indirect labor = $120,000 ($180,000 * 2/3)

Manufacturing overhead:

 Depreciation = $75,000

 Others = $62,000

 Indirect materials = $58,000

 Indirect labor = $120,000

Total actual overhead incurred = $315,000

Machine hours actually worked = 15,000

b) Other Accounts

1. Expenses Payable

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Manufacturing overhead               62,000

2. Depreciation Expense - Equipment

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Manufacturing overhead              $75,000

3. Raw Materials Account

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Accounts Payable      $325,000

Work in Process                             $232,000

Manufacturing overhead                   58,000

4. Accounts Payable

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Raw Materials                                $325,000

c) The manufacturing overhead applied is $300,000 (15,000 machines hours actually used multiplied by $20 overhead rate), while the actual overhead costs incurred total $315,000.  So there is an under-applied overhead of $15,000 which is charged to Finished Goods in order to obtain the correct cost of 16,000 custom-made machined parts.

In a perfectly competitive market, all producers sellidentical goods or services. Additionally, there arefew buyers and sellers.
Katen [24]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

Why is it difficult to interpret recent history and current events?
Sphinxa [80]
It is difficult to do this interpretation because there may not have been time for the outcome to have developed. For example, in Venezuela right now there is an attempt by part of the opposition to defeat the government through street violence and reverse the social gains of Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro but the dispute still has not been resolved.
