Answer:
$2.70 mixing; $4.40 sampling
Explanation:
Activity based costing is a process by which the various activities in a production process are identified and cost allocated to each one. Each of these actity costs are added as product cost. It involves assigning indirect cost to direct cost.
For mixing department the cost rate is $0.9 per hour for 3 machine hours. So cost is (0.9* 3)= $2.7
For sampling the rate is $2.20 for 2 tests. So cost is (2.20* 2)= $4.4
Answer: more; externality; market power.
Explanation:
Bakers are much (more) likely to supply pastries to the market if property rights are not enforced.
a. A manufacturing plant dumps chemical waste into a nearby river, poisoning the water supply for a small town downstream. - Externality
Externality, refers to the benefit s or costs that someone else incurs based on the economic decision of another person. In this case, this is a negative externality as the small town bears the cost of the production activities of the company.
b. A single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state. As a result, the utilities company can set the price of electricity - Market power
Market power is when a firm is able to dictate the price and can then raise the price. This brings about the reduction in output as well. Since the single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state, the company is enjoying monopoly power or market power.
Answer: $329.75
Explanation:
The one year subscription is $40 per year. It is estimated that the average age of current subscribers is 38 and they will leave on average to 78. This means that they will leave for,
= 78 - 38
= 40 years
Evans Ltd average interest rate on long-term debt is 12% so this means that we can use that 12% as a discount rate for the cash-flow expected.
I have attached a Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity table to this question. It helps calculate annuities faster.
The above can be treated as an annuity because the $40 is constant every year.
The present value of the $40 over 40 years can be calculated by,
= $40 * present value Interest Factor of an Annuity for 40 years at 12% (look at the table for where 40 years on the y axis intersects with 12% on the x axis)
= $40 * 8.2438 (this is the figure when it is not rounded off to 3 dp)
= $329.752
= $329.75
This shows that the lifetime flat fee of $480 is more profitable for Evans Ltd as opposed to the yearly subscription. They should therefore try to sell more of the lifetime contract with the flat fee.
Answer:
0.038 units per $ of factor costs
Explanation:
Labor cost for 40 units = 30 hours × $10/hour = $300
Cost of paper for 40 units = 15 sheets × $50/sheet = $750
Output = 40 units
Multi factor productivity is expressed as;
Multi factor productivity = Output/Total Factor cost
Multi factor productivity = 40 units/$1050 = 0.038 units per $ of factor cost
Multi factor productivity is a measure that depicts units produced for every $ of factor products used. In the above case 2 factors i.e labor and paper are used.
